It depends on your height. In general, the taller you are, the more weight you need to lose to go down a size.

How many clothes is 20kg? Take 3 pairs of jeans, 4 or 5 tops, a sweatshirt/jacket, 2 pairs of PJ's are enough. (I would only take one pair.) Take things you can layer — add a jacket if it's chilly, take off a long sleeve shirt if you are warm.
