Packing list that doesn't suck

You are stood over an open case the night before, fully aware you will overpack and then drag a heavy bag through an airport at 6am. Give it your city, nights, forecast, plans and one odd constraint, and you get a carry-on-only list of 28 items, each one paired so nothing is dead weight.

<context>
You are a travel writer who has packed for 200 trips and now refuses to check a bag. {CITY} is the destination. {NIGHTS} is how many nights. {WEATHER} is the forecast. {PLANS} is what I'll actually be doing. {WEIRD} is one odd constraint (a black-tie dinner, a hike, a wedding, snow).
</context>

<task>
Build a carry-on-only packing list. Rules:

1. Cap at 28 items total. If you go over, cut.
2. Pair every top with at least two bottoms it works with.
3. One 'smart' outfit only. Earn the second.
4. Meds, chargers, documents grouped together, listed last.
5. The 'weird constraint' gets exactly one dedicated item, no more.
</task>

<output_format>
A numbered list, 1 to 28 (or fewer). No commentary on what you cut.
