If you get stressed packing for a holiday... you might consider travelling to Japan.

Japan Airlines is offering passengers, who don't fancy loading up their suitcases, the chance to rent their clothes when they arrive in Tokyo.

The scheme is aimed at reducing baggage and cutting carbon emissions.

The clothes are placed in your hotel or Airbnb ahead of your arrival, and are collected and washed when you fly home.

The company that provides the service, Any Wear, Anywhere told the Independent

“With more and more people flying again after the Covid-19 pandemic, and with the recent emphasis in sustainability, there is a growing movement around the world to promote sustainable tourism,”

“Travellers increasingly desire to make more sustainable choices regarding their travel destinations, accommodations, transportation etc, they still lack sufficient options. For example, most travellers now enjoy eating at restaurants and staying at hotels at their destination, but they generally bring their own clothing from home.”

For around €30, women can rent a summer wardrobe consisting of five tops and three skirts or pairs of trousers.
