This method works especially well for shorts, socks, synthetic T-shirts and tank tops, some pajamas and sweats. The key to making this method work is to smooth the items as you’re rolling them up. This makes it so that they won’t come out the other side so wrinkled.

For nice shirts, smooth and fold so that shoulders are almost touching. Fold up bottom third, fold top down so that it overlaps with bottom. Flip over and smooth out. place hand between fold and smooth bunched fabric, if any. Roll up by starting at the hem.

For nice trousers, place them on the flat surface and smooth so it’s free of wrinkles. Fold one leg over the other, fold in half from the cuffs up. Smooth again. Begin to roll up from the folded knee. Place non-trouser clothing (skirts or dresses) face-down on a flat surface. Smooth to avoid any bunching of the fabric. Fold the clothing lengthwise so that one half is covering the other half. Smooth again. Fold from the bottom, so hem touches the neckline. Begin to roll from the bottom. For winter jacket, zip it and lay it flat. Fold each sleeve backward and fold the jacket in half vertically. Roll it from the edge to the collar, trying to squeeze air out of it. You can secure it with a string or large rubber band.

Add pants (trousers) or slacks, alternately oriented left and right. Include any sweaters or knit garments, alternating up or down in orientation. Place any shorts on top.

The only irritating thing about this method is that you have to unpack the entire bundle to get the things you need. Best thing to do is hang up your clothes when you get to your destination.
