Taxable items for business

I am a consultant and I often have to travel and live out of a hotel for a couple/few weeks even over a month. Because of this, I needed to purchase travel luggage. Is this luggage deductible? The reason I am asking because luggage is still used as a personal item (from time to time). I feel like it's asking if I can deduct shaving accessories and haircuts because it helps me look more professional on the job when I am client facing.

Thanks

For the most part, the IRS frowns upon business deductions for things that are used for personal, as well as business, use. To be safe, it is advisable to deduct what you use for business ONLY. However, the IRS does offer free tax help and advice (and they don't ask for identifying info) when you call 1-800-829-1040. I suggest you talk with the source.
