How to pick the right size suitcase for holidays?
We're planning a two-week trip in August and I'm not sure if I need a medium or large roller bag. I hate overpacking but also don't want to buy something massive I'll never use again.

After years of hauling luggage through airports and dealing with repairs on beaten-up bags, i'd say go medium (24-26 inches) but here's the thing - it really depends on where you're going and whether you'll have laundry access. if you're doing a beach trip with casual clothes, medium is plenty, but if you're mixing climates or formal stuff, you might regret it. my advice? rent or borrow a large bag for this trip first before committing, because a quality medium roller will serve you way better for most vacations than oversizing it, plus easier to wrangle through terminals.
For a two-week trip, a medium roller bag should do the trick if you're comfortable doing laundry mid-trip or packing strategically - I'd say aim for something around 24-26 inches. The key is being honest about how much you actually wear; I've learned from packing for my trips that most people use way fewer outfits than they think, especially if you stick to a color palette. If you're flying, check your airline's size restrictions first since that'll be your limiting factor anyway. A medium bag is versatile enough for most holidays without taking up half your closet at home.
