Granted, after spending an overwhelming amount of time cooped up in our apartments last year, most of us are eager to experience the thrill of planning and putting together the essential holiday packing list. Whether you are dreaming of making a safe getaway this winter with a group of friends or, you are eager to spend the festive season with your loved ones back in your hometown, we compiled the ultimate winter holiday packing list for you to make the entire process a breeze.
Winter Travel Packing List
Let’s be honest. Most of us fall under two categories: over-packers and under-packers. However, packing for cold weather trips requires a bit more effort. Don’t fret! You can still pack light for winter travel and have pretty much everything you need.
Put your trust in layering: If you still haven’t mastered the art of layering, now is the quintessential time to do so. The essential holiday packing list includes an array of layer-able options that can get you from day to night with ease.
Tops & blouses for winter traveling: Consider Cozy puff tops as your blank canvas. You can layer them on top of your favorite button-up shirts to keep yourself warm during the day. If you are getting ready to visit a place that’s cold, throw a thermal in your luggage just in case. In addition to your cozy tops, pack 2-3 knitted blouse styles. This way, you can be stylish, yet utterly warm and comfy during all your future family meetups.
Choose a mix of long and short sleeve tops like this sleeveless lace top and our Love Alfalfa. Essentially, you would like to be ready for a day in freezing weather and for an evening by the fireplace, cuddling and watching movies or attending a holiday party.
More essentials for winter travel during the holidays
Merino wool sweaters: We couldn’t talk about an essential holiday packing list without mentioning Merino wool. It’s a fantastic thermoregulator that can keep you warm when it’s cold out, but it can also keep you cool when you are indoors where it’s warm.
Leggings and trousers: Just like your layer-able tops, knitted leggings are a necessary addition to your luggage when packing for cold weather trips. Throw on your leggings underneath your skinny jeans, if you need an extra layer of warmth, or wear them on their own with a comfy-cozy knitted dress. The best part? If you are planning on doing any winter sports or planning some fun holiday adventures, you can opt for a water-resistant pair of trousers to wear on top of your trusted leggings.
Warm scarves: You can’t spell holiday getaway without thinking of blanket scarves. They won’t only keep you warm, but also completely transform your outfit if you plan on repeating it for more than one day but still want to dress in style. It would be best to pack 2 different scarves to switch things up during your stay. Don’t forget to add a beanie and your gloves.
Coats and jackets: Admittedly, a heavy, hooded coat is essential for your winter packing list. Down jackets are fantastic coats for winter travel. For a more formal option, add a blazer just in case you’ll be attending any parties.
Footwear: Of course, waterproof boots are the best boots for winter travel. If your holiday adventures include snow-covered mountains, then water-resistant and heat-reflecting footwear is a must. Opt for neutral-colored to make sure that they pair well with all of your outfits. Don’t forget to also bring 5-7 pairs of warm socks.
You see, comfortable clothes can be beautiful, warm, and absolutely stylish, especially if you know how to layer them for all your future cold-weather outfits. We bet you can’t wait to put the essential winter holiday packing list tips to the test. Of course, you can adapt every suggestion to match your personal style.
