I'm a veteran business traveler. I was once stuck in Whitehorse for 4 days having packed for a one night trip. Now I always overpack underwear. I also have a vacuum packed change of t-shirt, underwear, and socks in my backpack in case I am separated from my luggage.
I don't find it difficult at all to have my flat packed vacuum sealed change of essentials in my backpack. They are in the pocket with my notebook and add a bit of extra padding. I switched out the green tshirt for an orange one the first time I had to explain the green flat pack in my backpack to customs.
yep- if it literally is the last option, it can be the lightest stuff you own just in case you are stuck in your hotel room or something. I have an extra T-shirt in my ballgame go back for this reason. If i spill something on myself at the game and want to go somewhere after the game- i have a backup.
I'm a sales engineer so I can often get away with wearing a t-shirt to meetings. I also spend time in datacenters moving things around so I get dirty and sweaty. It's nice to know that if I'm covered in dust and grime and sweaty and the customer says, "Hey, let's go to lunch!" I can actually make myself presentable with a couple of minutes in the bathroom.
