So I guess people have different expectations/experiences of going on holiday.
As a kid, and most of the time as an adult, I’ve not gone anywhere with a laundry service (and when I have, it’s been too expensive).
Also, I am happy to take a single large wheeled suitcase. This is fine for two weeks’ clean clothes, a big towel (because you never know), at least three pairs of shoes/boots/sandals, and enough clean clothes and underwear for two weeks - including a small range of eveningy frocks.
And given that my pants (and, by extension, the rest of my clothes) are bigger than pretty much everyone else’s, it’s certainly possible.
But I guess if you were doing the sort of trip that involved hostels or yurts or unmade roads, you wouldn’t want a lovely big hard shell suitcase.
Most times, too, I go to one destination and stay there for my whole trip, which means I unpack properly and the suitcase becomes a repository for laundry. If I were to wash clothes halfway through, at the end of my trip I’d have clean clothes and dirty clothes in the same bag. Which is manky.
You put the dirty clothes separately to the clean clothes using one of those laundry bags or the divider in the suitcase. Generally you end up with some clean clothes anyway, because it wasn't cold enough/too hot or whatever.
I like packing really neatly and only using carry-on, and clean clothes take up a lot less space (especially if they're also ironed). Packing is one of the few things I'm genuinely good at
