Now that the holidays are approaching, chances are you’re getting ready for a little winter trip. Whether it’s a road trip to your family’s house or a plane ride to an exciting new destination, packing the right stuff means you’ll be fully prepared while still looking super stylish.
Read on below for six pieces you absolutely must have in your luggage before you leave:
Your Favorite Pair of Sneakers
As far as footwear goes, sneakers are your best bet for shoes that you can quite literally walk a marathon in. We’ve written about the chunky appeal of the Fila Disruptor 2 before, they come with a $65 price tag and their classic white color way makes them a great choice that will match any outfit you have packed. While the “dad shoe” look is what people first notice, the comfort is what will keep you reaching for them again and again.
Minimalist and Sleek Joggers
Jeans are out and joggers are in. At least when it comes to traveling.
When you’re sitting on a plane or in a car for hours on end, the last thing you want is to be restricted by thick denim. Joggers counter this problem, allowing you to move comfortably and even get a bit of shut-eye during your trip. Opt for cotton joggers for a bit more warmth.
Stylishly Reliable Flannel Shirts
Flannel shirts are perfect for winter trips, and Woman Within’s classic flannel shirt incorporates timeless colors with comfortable fabric. Flannel is synonymous with winter wear, and with good reason. It’s warm, flattering, and there’s a good chance you already have one or two flannel shirts in your closet.
A Trusty Carry-All Bag
Some people prefer tote bags, while others prefer backpacks. Whatever your choice is, bringing a trusty bag on your trip minimizes the hassle of moving everything around and wondering where everything is. Minimalist luggage brand Away has recently launched The Backpack, a travel backpack that stores a lot while still retaining its sleek silhouette.
A Comfy and Cozy Beanie
We’re often so busy packing up all our shirts and pants that we forget essential wardrobe components: accessories. In particular, beanies are universally flattering and will keep your head warm even during the coldest days. The other added benefit is that you can easily stash it in your bag (see point above) in case of sudden emergencies.
Warm and Breathable Undershirts
Depending on where you’re going, it might be uncomfortable lugging around a huge insulated parka. This is where an undershirt comes in. Uniqlo has all but cornered the market with their Heattech line, which has since branched out to cover leggings, socks, and even jeans. Having one or two undershirts in your bag is good enough to make sure you’re warm, but not uncomfortably hot.
Packing light means you’ll have a lot more space in your bag to pack away gifts (ones you’re giving as well as receiving) this holiday season. Having these winter wardrobe essentials in your bag guarantees you can enjoy your trip to the max.
