Chic Looks For Holiday Travelers

What Are We Wearing?

As the holidays quickly approach, the season is filled with excitement, which often means a packed travel schedule. Whether you’re jetting off to visit family or exploring a winter getaway, dressing for travel is about finding the perfect blend of comfort and style. Here are some items I can’t leave the house without during this time of year. 

Layering
Breathable basics like cotton or bamboo-blend tops keep you comfortable in any temperature, so keep a comfy tank or short-sleeved tee layered under your heavier tops to cover varying temps indoors and out. Layering is key for travel; consider a cozy cardigan or a sleek sweater in a neutral tone on top of your base layer, or keep it easy with a chic oversized cotton poplin button-down shirt. Darker colors like navy, charcoal, or rich brown are timeless and practical for travel, as they are less likely to show wrinkles or stains.

Comfort
For pants, opt for stretch fabrics that allow for ease of movement, like high-waisted leggings, joggers, or soft, wide-leg trousers. Denim can be comfortable with a touch of stretch, and a classic pair of black jeans will take you seamlessly from daytime travel to dinner. Don’t forget footwear; slip-on shearling booties or sneakers are stylish and practical for going through security checkpoints. To add an element of your own personal style, choose footwear in bold shades for a pop or a neutral shade like navy or beige that will pair effortlessly with a range of travel looks.

Functionality
Finish with functionality in mind. A chic, oversized tote or weekend bag is ideal for carrying all your travel essentials in style. Top off your look with an all-weather or wool trench coat. The versatility of a trench coat is limitless. Adding a classic coat like a trench or wrap-style outerwear gives elegance to your looks, casual or formal while keeping you cozy and protected from the elements. They also hold up well when folded down for long car rides or in an overhead bin.
