If your summer travel lineup involves an unending string of weddings and other look-sharp events, you’ll need a way to transport your fancy clothes without completely crumpling them. Especially if you’ll be wearing a suit, a notoriously difficult item to pack.

Our advice? You really should just get a high-quality garment bag. But traveling with one isn’t always practical, so we consulted a bespoke tailor for the best way to pack a suit in your carry-on—nary a wrinkle in sight.

After testing dozens of options, we came away with a few favorites, all of which are space-saving, nonslip, and excellent for a wide variety of garments.
