9 Fashionable Plane Outfits for the Winter

Table of contents.

Sweater | Coat | Hat | Luggage | Lipstick | Sunglass | Shoes   | Pants

It’s edgy, trendy, classic, and absolutely editorial worthy – this winter travel outfit says fashionista from head to toe. This is an incredibly versatile choice for women who know how to rock a comfortable but chic style.

The trainers ooze travel shoe comfort, while the structured coat offers a sophisticated touch to balance the more casual jeans and easy to wear turtle neck. This is definitely one of our top picks!

You can still pack your capsule wardrobe in a small suitcase even when you travel in the winter by using packing cubes to compress your clothing as shown in this video !

Raincoat | Tunic | Scarf | Tote | Boot | Cover | Jeans | Palette

A perfectly prim look for destinations that won’t greet you with torrential rain or snow, this winter travel outfit offers timeless style that you can wear for years to come without worrying that any piece will go out of style.

To wear an outfit like this it’s all in the fit. Make sure your jacket isn’t too bulky for your frame and the length of your jeans is hemmed to your height. Having a great tailor guarantee you’ll always look on point whether you’re rocking an investment coat or even a pair of sweats. The way a garment falls on your body is everything.

Jacket  | Sweater | Jeans |  Tag | Earrings | Boot | Purse | Luggage | Cream

If all you ever wanted in a travel outfit was a basic look that offered more function than fashion, keep your accessories top of mind. A pair of understated feminine earrings plus a statement purse can make even a standard puffer vest and cable knit sweater look Insta-ready.

Wondering how the most simple outfits look great on fashion bloggers? The hair and makeup add a nice touch as we’ve learned from this Europe travel outfits post !

Packing Cubes | Tee | Jacket 1 | Jacket 2 | Luggage | Lipbalm |  Leggings | Backpack | Scarf  | Boots

How did a pair of leggings and an oversized tee ever look so good? Again, it’s all in the accessories!

Even the very functional, weather-appropriate rain boots enhance the look with a neutral color that isn’t the ever-popular black. Add a structured handbag and a beautiful winter coat and your weather-appropriate from the moment you get on the plane. Read this post for even more waterproof boots !

Raincoat | Sweater | Hat | Sunglass | Luggage | Pants | Scarf  | Shoes | Bag

This look is not for the fashion novice. Pulling off an oversized trench, sweats, and casual sneakers can be translated in many ways when it comes to airplane fashion.

However, this seems to be the winter travel outfit of choice for many fashionistas as I saw at the airport two weeks ago. If you can pull it off, you get bonus points. Are you up for the challenge?

Jacket | Purse | Leggings | Earrings | Sweater | Cover | Boot | Mask  | Luggage | Gloves

Oh, how I love this look. It has all the hues in my favorite capsule wardrobe color story: black, grey, white, and blue. Plus, I totally need to add this passport cover to my wish list !

If you’re stuck in an all-black outfit rut or want to break free from a monotone wardrobe, this is a safe selection without steering too far away from your comfort zone. Purple lipstick is optional.

This winter travel outfit may seem a bit much but in reality, it’s only a sweater dress with leggings – anyone can wear that! Plus, it’s comfortable and functional, too. Want a safer bet? This is my go-to merino wool travel dress .

Sweater | Jacket | Jeans | Luggage |  Clip | Crossbody | Hat | Lipstick  | Boot  

Loving these statement winter coats for winter . From red to pink and bright vivid blue –  they sure can pack a punch! Another reason why we love them this season is because a bright color looks amazing against a grey, drab, and even rainy backdrop.

Not only will they breathe life into your travel wardrobe but they’ll make your travel pictures fashionable, too. Love it!

Scarf | Sweater | Luggage | Coat | Cover | Jeans | Eye Shadow | Bag | Cream | Boot

As the temperature drops, our gear gets a bit warmer to suit the snowy weather. Sorel’s boots are the must-have footwear of the season and pair well with leggings or basic jeans. Add a packable down jacket and stay warm all winter long!

Sweater | Hat | Bag | Pillow  | Pants | Sunglass | Jacket | Luggage | Boot | Gloves

For a snowy visit with a slightly less casual look, this set is weather-ready and features a more traditional boot-like option. A touch of fur is totally on trend this season and a nice collection of non-boring neutrals brings a bit of interest to a basic-black winter travel wardrobe.

Here are a few tips on how to efficiently get through security as your travel clothing thickens for the winter:

• Place all jewelry or metal accessories in your personal item or coat pocket
• Wear boots with faux-laces that can easily zip on and off instead of being laced
• Take your shoes off before you get to the front of the line, why wait?
• Always remove your shoes, scarf, hat, and coat – even before security tells you to
• Be prepared to place all the above items into a bin through security

These are steps that you can always take in advance so you are never held up in security, no matter if you’re wearing flip-flops or boots.

Great ideas. I always carry a scarf… can you add some in next time..

You can find a variety of scarves here: https://travelfashiongirl.com/stylish-winter-scarves/ A scarf is a travel girl’s best friend so we assume there’s already one on everyone’s list 😉

Jeans are so uncomfortable especially during long flights…why cant a girl just wear sweats. Comfort is more important to me than style

The important thing is that you wear whatever type of clothing you feel your best in. Thanks for commenting!

Love all the outfits! They are on point. I cannot wait for my next business trip and/or vacation.

Thanks Kim! 🙂

Great and versatile options! And all very chic – which I find is so hard to do when you’re wearing layer upon layer of clothing.

Thanks Kate! Glad you like them 🙂

Too many metal bits that guarantee a slow TSA check in; boots and shoes that cannot be removed quickly or easily, or would be awful on your feet for a LONG flight, some too hot or bulky layers for an overheated cabin or a tight seat. Many times you have to keep your coat on, or on your lap when a crowded flight has overhead bins that are full. I prefer down coats that can be compressed into my spinner or tote, or a cape/ruana that can double as a blanket during the flight. Not my idea of function paired with fashion. Surely you could do better.

Hi Paula, I completely missed the two pairs of pants with metal zippers – thanks for pointing these out!

What a tactful response to an inaccurate observation paired with a rude comment. You did not include extraneous metal in your outfits. Furthermore, I completely appreciate the boots because they take up too much room to pack. Not difficult to take off boots or slip off a bracelet as you go through TSA.

Nice outfits–well done 🙂

My Favorite Winter Airport Outfits | Classy & Comfy

Looking for winter airport outfits that will keep you warm while looking stylish? You’ll love my list of comfy and classy airport outfits for winter !

Chic Airport Outfits for Winter

When I’m traveling, I want to look stylish and put-together while also staying comfortable. This is especially true in the cold winter months when I need to make sure my airport outfit is cozy enough to keep me warm through every part of my travel day. 

I know how hectic and stressful getting ready for a trip is, but creating fashionable yet functional winter travel outfits doesn’t have to be. Ahead, you’ll find my list of winter airport outfits that are classy and cozy.  

What should I wear for a long flight in winter?

When you have a long flight ahead of you, comfort is key! If you’re traveling in the winter, you’ll also want to make sure your travel outfit is warm and features removable layers. Try these pieces:

• Sweatpants or knit joggers
• Sweatshirt or knit sweater 
• Matching sets in cozy fabrics
• Puffer vests
• Long cardigan 

Comfy Winter Airport Outfits

These comfy looks are effortless, easy to recreate, and guaranteed to make you feel stylish. The best part? All of these airport outfits are foolproof for winter, meaning they’ll keep you warm and cozy as you travel!

Puffer Vest + Sweatshirt

get the look:

This is one of my favorite winter travel outfit formulas. It’s especially great when I’m heading somewhere warmer and need removable layers that aren’t too bulky. 

I think the sweatshirt and puffer vest combination looks sporty and classic, especially when paired with my Lululemon black leggings , Anine Bing baseball cap , and Samba sneakers . I’ve also thrown on my Everywhere Fleece belt bag , which is the perfect travel accessory for any comfy winter airport outfit.

Joggers + Wool Bomber

Another one of my favorite ways to dress up a winter comfy airport outfit is to pair my cozy Lululemon fleece joggers with a bomber jacket . Bomber jackets have been trending this year and they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.   

Here, I’ve styled the bomber jacket with practical sneakers, my fave Anine Bing sweatshirt , and a baseball cap . I’ve also added my Quince leather pouch bag as a stylish and practical hands-free accessory for my passport and essentials.    

Cropped Vest + Leggings

This chic yet comfy cropped puffer vest and leggings look is next on my list of airport outfits for winter. In my experience, you can never go wrong with wearing a pair of nice black leggings to the airport!

A chic, neutral-toned cropped puffer vest is the perfect piece to pair with an Everlane black turtleneck since it adds an ultra-cozy layer that isn’t too bulky for packing or sitting on the plane. 

I finished this winter airport outfit with comfortable Samba sneakers and everyday gold jewelry to elevate the look. 

Matching Sweatsuit

I’m partial to an all-neutral outfit. I think they always look chic and elevated, whether you’re heading to the airport or strolling around town.  

In this comfy winter airport outfit, Lizzy has gone for a matching beige sweat set that gives mega cozy vibes. She’s styled it with a long coat and baseball hat in similar tones to keep the look cohesive.

I love the creamy beige colors in this travel look, but you could create a similar outfit by swapping out the beige for ivory, gray, black, or navy.  

Add a Graphic Sweatshirt

In my opinion, you don’t have to ditch sweatshirts in order to create cute airport outfits. Logo or graphic sweatshirts (like this Vogue one ) are fun and stylish but still comfortable. They’re also practical when traveling to warmer destinations where you won’t need many heavy layers. 

I’d pair it with comfy trousers, sweatpants, or leggings and add chic sunglasses for a casual, cool winter travel outfit.  

A Cozy Cardigan

While most of my winter airport outfits are neutral, I love this pop of color that makes this winter travel outfit more exciting. I love how @jenniferxlauren pairs comfy grey sweatpants and New Balance sneakers with a more girly cropped top and a pink knit cardigan. 

I think this winter comfy airport outfit would be ideal when flying into a warm climate since you can easily take the cardigan off when you land. 

Classy Airport Outfits for Winter

Below are some of my favorite airport outfits for winter. They dress up a basic leggings or sweatpants outfit with elevated pieces. 

Casual chic jeans outfit

Jeans are a must-pack item when traveling, especially in the winter! Since they tend to take up a lot of room in your suitcase, it’s never a bad idea to wear them on the plane, as long as they’re comfortable . 

For a classy airport outfit in winter, try a pair of relaxed denim jeans, like these Citizens of Humanity Ayla jeans . A looser fit is key for feeling comfortable on the plane and walking around, in my opinion. 

Style your jeans with other winter fashion staples like a striped sweater , long wool coat , and cashmere scarf that will come in handy while traveling in cold weather.

Layered Denim Jacket

An oversized denim jacket is a fabulous choice to pair with leggings or other pants when you want a comfy but cute airport outfit. 

To keep this cozy chic , I’ve styled a comfy sweatshirt underneath my denim jacket and layered a black puffer vest on top.  My trusty leather pouch looks expensive and classy, but it’s also practical for keeping my travel necessities at arm’s reach.

Sweater Dress + Sneakers

In my opinion, a sweater dress is a winter wardrobe staple . I’ve found that it also makes for a classy airport outfit for winter when paired with a coordinating long coat, neutral sneakers, and a cashmere scarf. 

From my experience, midi or maxi-length sweater dresses work best for travel days since they cover most of your legs and are more winter weather-appropriate. I love this cream ribbed knit dress because you can wear it on the plane, but it will look equally chic out to dinner or during the day exploring must-see sights.  

Camel Coat & Uggs

In my opinion, you can’t beat a grey sweatshirt and black leggings combination. This classic winter airport outfit never fails to keep me comfy and warm on a chilly plane. Plus, I think the sporty combo looks purposeful and well-styled, even though it feels like I’m wearing pajamas.

Here, I’ve paired my go-to Anine Bing sweatshirt with black leggings and Ugg Tasman Slippers. Adding a chic oversized camel coat on top makes this classy airport outfit feel even more elevated.

Matching Knit Set + Sneakers

A matching knit set is one of my go-to classy winter airport outfits (or really any time of the year) . For winter travel, t his matching teddy brown knit set from Everlane is a dream! It will keep you looking cute and feeling comfortable even on long travel days.

Pair it with your favorite sneakers and travel essentials and you’re ready to go!

Creating a winter airport outfit doesn’t have to be complicated. Even on long days filled with planes, cars, hotels, and all-day travel, you can rock a comfy and cozy travel outfit that’s also cute and stylish. Follow my style guide to make picking the perfect winter travel outfit a breeze so you can sit back and enjoy your trip from start to finish!

How to Build the Perfect Winter Capsule Wardrobe for Travel

By Meaghan Kenny

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

One of our very best packing tips is to fill your closet (and suitcase) with reliable staples you can rewear again and again. Of course, those essentials will vary slightly by season. When building a winter travel capsule wardrobe, timeless basics and layering pieces are key. Instead of panic-buying trendy outfits you'll wear once before every vacation, focus on adding a few high-quality pieces to your wardrobe that pair effortlessly with your existing favorites and will last for years to come.

If you think you really have nothing to wear for your next weekend away, we've got you covered with all the basics needed to build your very own winter travel capsule wardrobe from scratch. These are the thermal layers, comfortable shoes, and practical dresses that'll work whether you're headed on an après-ski trip with friends or exploring a new cold-weather city. From cashmere sweaters and cozy matching sets to packable puffers and sleek leather bags, you can count on these multi-purpose must-haves to keep your outfit options endless.

Must-haves for a winter travel capsule wardrobe:

The perfect long-sleeve, the cashmere sweater, the matching set, the tailored pant, the dark wash jean, the winter legging, the packable puffer, the chic city coat, the durable boot, the everyday sneaker, the leather bag.

Dressing for cold weather is all about layering. The perfect base for every winter outfit: a soft, basic long-sleeve shirt that can be easily layered underneath jackets and vests , and be worn on its own, too. Neutral colors are your best bet—they can be tucked into just about any pair of pants you pack and can be reworn with almost any outfit.

What's better than slipping on your favorite cozy sweater and curling up by the fireplace? Cashmere sweaters look extremely polished when dressed up with a skirt and tights, and work just as well with simple jeans and loafers . The material is known to be ultra-soft, warm, and supremely timeless—you'll be wearing these sweaters for winters to come.

Every traveler understands the importance of cozy loungewear , especially when it comes to long-haul flights . The secret to dressing comfortably at the airport while still looking put together is a monochromatic matching set. Slip on either of these sets from Buck Mason or Lulus with a pair of white sneakers, baseball cap, and long coat over top and you'll be serving effortless airport style instantly.

Just because the temperature drops doesn't mean we have to swear off dresses for the season. In fact, simple dresses that can be worn with a pair of tights or tall boots are a great way to elevate your look without sacrificing too much warmth. Below, you'll find a few of our favorite styles to wear this season, from long-sleeve turtle necks and cozy sweater dresses to the viral Soft Lounge dress from Skims. Toss any of these options in your suitcase for your next getaway and you'll be covered for fancy dinners, parties, and any other dressed-up events.

A sleek pair of pants like these from Abercrombie & Fitch and Everlane are so versatile—they transition from the office to a dinner date effortlessly. Pair them with your favorite loafers or a plain white sneaker and you're ready to go.

We all need that one favorite pair of jeans. While I love my light-colored jeans most of the year, a dark wash is much more fitting for winter months. We don't need to tell you just how often you'll be wearing these this season. I always pack a high-waisted, straight-leg jean without any rips like the pair below from Madewell in my suitcase—even in the summer months, just in case.

If I'm not traveling in a loungewear set, I'm rocking my go-to pair of black leggings . This time of year, I trade them in for an extra-warm pair of winter leggings . These are typically lined with a soft material like fleece and offer added insulation for those frigid, snowy days. Thermal leggings especially come in handy for outdoorsy winter trips—whether you're skiing, snowboarding, or just cabin-bound, these will be your new BFF.

Don't underestimate the power of a packable puffer . Styles like these from Girlfriend Collective and Patagonia offer a surprising amount of warmth for how lightweight and seemingly thin they are. The best part? These compressible jackets can be packed down into a small bag, making them a must-have for travelers with little suitcase room traveling from a warm-weather destination, or bringing multiple coats along.

If you're headed out for a day of sightseeing, you'll want to throw on a chic long coat that offers equal parts warmth and style. These wool coats are great to wear over a sweatshirt, sweater, or light jacket, and lock in plenty of heat for a full day of exploring.

If one's things for sure: We'll always rely on a durable boot for the winter. Whether you want something sleek to dress up an outfit, a waterproof workhorse that can take on uneven terrain, or a shearling-lined boot for those extra-windy days, we've got you covered. While boots certainly aren't the most packable shoe you own (if possible, wear them on the plane), they always prove worth it!

The year-round essential we're packing no matter what: a classic white sneaker . These comfortable kicks from Adidas, Veja, New Balance, and Reebok will match any outfit in your carry-on, whether it's a pair of jeans, leggings, slacks, or a casual dress. When you're walking around a new city clocking upwards of 20,000 steps, you'll definitely want a trusted sneaker you can wear all day long, blister-free. The New Balance 547 Core sneakers have accompanied me on countless trips, from weeklong cruises and winter cabin escapes to European walking tours.

We all know the importance of an ultra-soft, warm scarf to protect our necks from extreme temperatures. Made of winter-ready materials like wool, cashmere, and alpaca, these lightweight scarves are the great for travelers, whether you're commuting to work, headed on a ski trip, or want something to wrap around you on a chilly plane ride. The options below are just as chic as they are practical.

Rounding out our list of the best winter wardrobe essentials for travelers is none other than a leather bag—the kind you'll wear anywhere and everywhere this season and beyond. We've gathered a few of our favorite styles, from trendy Poléne and Coach bags to last-forever options from Madewell and Cuyana. These crossbody, shoulder, and tote bags are perfect for day trips, museum openings, and dinner dates. I try to save packing space by bringing along a black or brown leather bag that will match any outfit in my carry-on and suit any occasion.

Winter Travel Outfits for Ladies

We all know that traveling during this time of year can be tricky, but you don’t have to let it ruin your trip! By packing the right outfits for travel in winter, you’ll be able to stay warm and comfortable no matter where you’re going.

This guide will help you pick out some stylish outfits for travel in winter so that no matter how far away from home or how long your trip is, you’ll still look great while staying warm and dry!

How should I dress for winter travel?

Since winter brings in some pretty harsh weather, you’ll have to dress for the cold. This holds true for both plane and car travel.

However, just because you’re dressing for the cold doesn’t mean that you should go overboard when packing your clothes. You will still want to look stylish!

Since it is winter, layering is very important when picking out outfits for travel in winter. This means you’ll want to wear many thin layers rather than a few thick ones.

Layers are key in dressing for winter because what will keep you warm is the air between your clothes, not the clothes themselves.

When your clothes are layered, they trap air in between them, which keeps you warm. The best travel outfits will let you adjust your layers as needed.

On top of layers, the outer layer of the outfit is extremely important. You’ll want to ensure it’s waterproof or water-resistant, at least! If you wear a good quality winter coat and pants, then even snow won’t get through easily.

What about shoes?

Wearing the right kind of shoes for winter travel is extremely important. The last thing you want, when it’s snowing outside, is to put on high heels and slip all over the place! That being said, there are ways around this.

For starters, if you have a pair of stylish boots, wear them! You can wear these boots in the snow with thick socks and still look good.

If you don’t have any winter boots, another option is to wear rain boots when it’s snowing. These are water-resistant, so no matter how much snow falls, your feet will stay dry. If there isn’t any snow where you’re going, you can always wear regular shoes with a thick pair of socks.

How to pack snow boots

If you’re going somewhere where there could be snow, pack a pair of waterproof boots. To pack them safely, you should pack them close to their full size (without wearing them) and then stuff them with socks, leggings, or anything else you can roll easily.

What about accessories?

Winter travel calls for hats, scarves, and gloves, as well as sunglasses to protect your eyes from the snow. A good quality winter coat will keep you warm around your neck and face. Make sure that whatever scarf you choose is long enough to cover your neck and face!

Don’t forget to pack your favorite jewelry .

For the Airport

While traveling during the winter you’ll want to make sure you get to your flight on time. Make sure your outfit is comfortable enough that it doesn’t restrict or impede your movement but stylish enough to make you feel confident and positive about your appearance.

It’s also helpful if your style is somewhat similar to the style of your destination, so stick to a more conservative look if you’re going somewhere more conservative and vice versa.

Remember that you’ll likely be dealing with colder weather when you get to your destination, especially if it’s in a northern location, so make sure that whatever clothes you wear for travel in winter can go from the plane to the car easily.

When you get where you’re going, or if it’s somewhere cold when you leave, try getting a travel coat, which is lightweight and easy to pack away when not in use. Also, ensure your scarves can double as a blanket on the plane!

What should I wear on a plane in cold weather?

The best winter travel outfit for flying will make you feel comfortable in your seat and stylish enough not to feel out of place.

Bring layers! Dress in tights, leggings , or warm pants under your dress or skirt. This will ensure you are comfortable during the flight and remain warm without feeling too restricted.

If possible, pack a cardigan layered over your outfit, so it’s easy to remove should the plane get too cold. You can also pack some warm socks and slip those on right before you get on the plane to keep your feet nice and toasty.

Once you’re on the plane, stay as comfortable as possible. Make sure that the clothes you wear for travel in winter aren’t too tight or constricting, which can make it difficult, if not impossible, to get up and move around.

Dresses for Travel in Winter

A winter travel outfit doesn’t have to be too difficult to put together if you stick with a simple and classy dress . A winter travel dress that is loose and comfortable will keep you warm while keeping your style intact throughout the trip.

You may want to consider bringing a sweater just in case, but you don’t want the sweater to be too tight, or it might make it difficult for you to move around.

A nice dress is perfect for traveling during the winter. All you need are some tights and warm boots, plus a simple cardigan if you get cold quickly. If your destination is somewhere more conservative, make sure to dress more modestly.

Winter Road Trip Outfits for Women

Road trips are fun during the summertime but can be pretty uncomfortable if you’re not prepared for them during the winter months. Again, dress in many layers so that you’ll be able to regulate your temperature easily by taking layers off or putting more back on.

Don’t wear anything too tight! If your travel outfits are too constricting, it can get pretty uncomfortable after sitting in one position for too long. Wear clothes that are comfortable.

Wear comfortable shoes that will keep your feet warm but that are easy to take off should you want or need to get out of the car. Try to wear something waterproof so no matter how much snow and wetness there is, you don’t have to worry about getting soaked.

Winter Travel Clothes for Women

When traveling during the winter, you’ll want to dress in layers. Layer thin tights or leggings under your dress or skirt so you are comfortable and warmer without being too restricted. Then, put on a nice long sweater over everything else to keep out the cold!

For boots, make sure to pick ones that are comfortable and waterproof. Boots with a low heel will be easier to walk in during the trip, but high heels can work too if you’re willing to sacrifice some comfort for style.

If winter travel clothes aren’t an option for you, consider packing jeans or denim pants, thick tights or leggings, thick socks, flats, and a nice thick sweater. This combo will work for many destinations in the wintertime!

Best Travel Dresses for Winter

If you’re not too keen on wearing tights or leggings under your dress, a nice winter travel outfit can still be easy to put together. Pick a pretty dress or maxi skirt that is made of a lightweight fabric and layering it with a nice sweater will keep you warm and stylish at the same time!

Make sure that whatever boots you decide to wear are comfortable and waterproof. Boots with a wedge heel will be easier to walk around in compared to high heels, especially if you’ll be walking on snow or ice.

If cold weather makes it difficult for you to find suitable clothes for your trip, having some jeans or other pants packed is always a good idea. Jeans will keep you warm during the trip, plus they are easy to rock with a simple t-shirt or blouse. Add some boots and you’re set!

Pack whatever is comfortable for you knowing that there are plenty of options out there! You can always wear layers underneath your travel outfit if it’s not quite warm enough. The most important thing is that you are comfortable! You don’t want to be overly cold or suffer from the heat too much.

Having a few staple items in your winter wardrobe is important for any woman who wants to stay stylish and warm during the cold weather months. Pick out three or four outfits that all work well together so you can mix and match without a problem.

Winter travel must-haves

Here are a few must-haves for winter travel outfits.

• Lightweight dress in a solid color that’s appropriate for many destinations
• Sweater or cardigan to wear over the top of your dress
• Tights and leggings to wear under your dress (or jeans if you prefer)
• Boots with wedge heels  for easy walking on snow and ice. Totally cute with tights!
• Purse that’s large enough to carry all your essentials and extra layers (like sweaters!) if needed.

Make sure you pack anything else that will be necessary for your trip – coats, scarves, hats – and you’re set! Keep yourself warm and comfy while still looking stylish during the winter months by following these tips.

Winter is not an excuse to run out and buy some major winter clothes. Pack what you have in your closet! A nice pair of leggings, a few light sweaters, a good pair of boots with cute socks pulled up high – plenty of things will work for winter travel style without breaking the bank.

15 Easy Winter Travel Outfits That Won't Give You a Packing Headache

Packing Fall/Winter clothes for a trip isn't a nuisance if you know what pieces to bring. Sure, the clothes are bulkier than your Summer slips and cotton shorts, but the good news is you can rewear certain pieces like jeans and jackets. This cuts down on how many items you have to bring and forces you to pick favorites. We know, it's hard. We find ourselves constantly debating which boot to pack and if we really need six different sweaters.

This season, however, we're vowing to skip the headache of packing by planning out our outfits . Ahead, we came up with 15 easy travel looks that are both functional and stylish. The next time you're stuck on ideas, just take a look at what your favorite street style stars wore.

Always pack a sweatshirt or hoodie with you when you're traveling for an added layer of warmth. We like to wear ours onto the plane because it always gets a little chilly.

If you're planning to pack a dress in your suitcase, a turtleneck or long-sleeved tee is great for wearing underneath. And forget the heels; sneakers will take you anywhere you need to go in comfort and style.

Flying into a city for a fancy event? You'll probably want to pack one or two statement pieces in your luggage. Our first pick would be an eye-catching shoe and then a bag. These pieces easily dress up any outfit.

If you're flying to the East Coast, you'll definitely want to bring a coat. Instead of packing away this heavy item, wear it onto the plane. You'll end up saving a lot more space in your luggage — and you'll be warm once you land.

Find a top you don't wear often and bring it with you on the trip. This will not only increase your likelihood of finally wearing the piece but also give you a chance to debut something new.

It's hard to imagine a more iconic coat print than leopard. It's back season after season, so you'll never go wrong with this pick while packing.

Not a fan of jeans when traveling? Our solution is to pack tights you can wear under your dresses. They don't take up that much room, and it's perfect for business meetings or more formal social gatherings.

If you're flying in from somewhere warm, you can always make those pieces work for the cooler temps. Our favorite hack is layering a dress over jeans .

So you can only bring one coat on your trip? Our classic pick would be the trench. This season, find one in a patent or vinyl material to give it an updated look.

We can't talk about packing for Fall and Winter without mentioning sweaters. They tend to take up the most room in your suitcase, so limit yourself to a few favorite pieces.

A leather jacket is perfect if where you're going is in between seasons.

Don't forget about the cold-weather accessories! A nice glove or scarf will go a long way.

We always suggest packing one comfortable outfit, whether that's a head-to-toe sweatshirt and sweatpants look or leggings with an oversize sweater. You can look forward to lounging in something a little more cozy than jeans after those holiday meals.

Celebrities always travel with their favorite bags , so don't be afraid to bring yours along for the trip too. Pick one in a neutral color to go with all your outfits.

All-black outfits are the no-fail stylish looks no matter where you go. If you want packing to be a breeze and not worry about mixing and matching, just bring all black items.

Best Travel Clothes For Europe In Winter

by Melissa Giroux | Last updated Feb 25, 2023 | Europe , Travel Gear , Travel Tips

From visiting the famous Christmas markets to skiing in world-class resorts to seeing Santa in Lapland, Europe is a magical place to be in the winter.

If you’ve backpacked around the continent in the summer, visiting Europe in winter will offer a totally different experience. Thus, seeing Europe in this season is a must.

Ready To Travel? Don't Go Without Travel Insurance.

Check Prices

The weather in Europe can range from pretty chilly to freezing zero temperatures. Thus, you’ll need plenty of warm, insulated, thermal, and fleece-lined clothing.

But if you’re unsure what to wear in Europe during winter, fear not.

In this guide, we’ll list all the essential travel clothes for Europe in winter so you’ll jet off as prepared as can be.

Before we get into what to pack for Europe in winter, remember that the continent’s climate differs from country to country.

Suppose you’re planning a winter wonderland trip where you’ll ski on the slopes or ride through the thick snow in Lapland.

In that case, you’ll need warmer clothing than if you’re enjoying a city break in Barcelona in winter .

So, along with following the advice in this guide, research the typical winter climate of where you are heading.

Without further ado, let’s talk about European winter fashion .

When you start packing for Europe in winter, you’ll likely first think about oversized coats and cozy jumpers.

However, in the continent’s coldest parts, you’ll need multiple layers to stay warm.

Typically, you’ll wear a t-shirt, a long-sleeve top, a jumper, and a coat. So make sure you have enough short and long-sleeve tees for every day of your trip.

Of course, some days, the weather will be mild enough to omit the long sleeve layer.

Still, a general rule for surviving winter in Europe is that you can never have enough clothes!

If you particularly hate the cold or are going on a skiing vacation, include a few thermal base layers too.

This Smartwool Merino 250 Baselayer Crew is super effective at regulating body temperature.

Jumpers And Hoodies

Next up, pull out all the comfy jumpers and warm hoodies in your wardrobe, as you’ll be wearing these every day.

However, as styles of sweaters and cardigans vary, you’ll need to be sure the ones you are bringing are best suited to winter.

For example, knit jumpers with large gaps between the knitting or crochet styles won’t be sufficient to retain body heat.

The best type of winter jumper is made from wool or fleece, with lots of coverage around the neck, such as roll neck and turtle neck styles.

This Ailaile Wool Turtleneck Pullover is perfect for women, and this Aran Crafts Irish Soft Wool Cable Knitted Sweater is ideal for men.

We also recommend bringing a thermal hoodie, like this one from Geek Lighting . The heavyweight zip-up sweatshirt has a thick sherpa fleece lining on the body and hood.

Winter Coat

Every winter Europe trip calls for a good quality winter coat. However, there are various styles of coats, so which is best for winter traveling Europe?

The answer depends on where you’re going and what you’re doing.

Suppose you are exploring the city sights and Christmas markets. In that case, this Daily Ritual Teddy Bear Fleece Oversized-Fit Lapel Jacket will keep you feeling toasty in between each glass of mulled wine.

Or for men, this Calvin Klein Hooded RipStop Water and Wind Resistant Jacket is ideal. It is stylish and has an interior fleece bib with a zipper closure for extra warmth.

If you’re planning to take lots of walks and hikes, a long insulated coat like this one from Columbia is a great option.

It features faux down insulation, Omni-heat thermal reflective lining, and a water-resistant shell.

Those who don’t cope well with the cold might consider this TIDEWE Heated Jacket .

This coat is unique as it features an interior battery pack with 3 adjustable heat settings to instantly create additional warmth whenever needed.

In addition, the anti-static fleece liner traps the heat produced, and the exterior is water and wind-resistant, too.

You likely won’t need to pack any shorts for your winter Europe trip.

However, you will need plenty of thick and warm long pants, like insulated leggings for women and fleece-lined tracksuit bottoms for men.

Jeans are also a popular piece of winter apparel in Europe. However, if you’re heading somewhere very chilly, like Sweden or Switzerland, you might need to wear a base layer.

Leggings can make a good base layer for women, and long johns serve the purpose for men.

If you want to dress up a bit for nights in the city, women can pair these VERO MONTE Opaque Warm Fleece Lined Tights with a winter dress and trench coat.

For men, wear some long johns under your favorite pair of chinos or smart trousers for an invisible warmth layer.

Sneakers and boots are the two primary footwear you will need for winter in Europe.

Many winter boots are suitable for both everyday walking and hiking. However, if you plan to do activities in the snow, you’ll need hiking boots with high traction to handle icy surfaces.

The SOREL Women’s Explorer II Joan Faux Fur Boots are super versatile, thanks to their suede and faux fur design.

Thus, you can wear them anywhere, from hiking trails to the high street.

They also have 100g insulation, are waterproof, and have a high-traction rubber EVA footbed.

If you’re not heading anywhere snowy or icy, you can opt for a more stylish city-style boot like these Dr. Martens .

The Chelsea-style leather boots have a fleece lining and the iconic ​​Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, providing all-day comfort.

For men, these Vostey Chukka Boots will take you from the city to the countryside, thanks to their clever functionality combined with their stylish design.

The faux leather boots are water resistant, have durable laces, and have a non-slip rubber outsole.

Accessories

Winter accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves are essential for staying warm in the coldest season.

First, choose a winter hat that covers your ears, protecting them from the icy winds.

A faux fur-lined Russian trooper hat like this one from Tough Headwear is a top choice for trapping heat in the coldest conditions.

For scarves, choose thick cable knit styles like this chunky wrap scarf by Neosan . This oversized scarf comes in various colors and patterns, making any outfit stylish and eye-catching.

Neck warmers are an excellent alternative to scarves as they are fleece lined and provide more coverage around the neck area.

Thus, if you’re heading somewhere snowy, a neck warmer like this one from NovForth is a must.

Lastly, these OZERO Winter Thermal Gloves are ideal. They feature touchscreen fingers, so you don’t have to take them off whenever you want to make a call or text.

Plus, along with the thermal fleece lining, they have a windproof and water-resistant outer shell.

Europe Winter Outfits

Now you know the layers you need for your winter vacation, you can start planning your winter travel outfits.

Here are our top three European winter travel outfits for men and women.

Below you’ll find winter outfit ideas for men.

City Explorer

European cities are known for their extravagant Christmas light displays and festive markets.

If you love the most magical time of the year, you’ll surely spend significant time checking out the winter offerings in the European cities.

European winter fashion combines warmth with style, so start with these SOREL Cheyanne Metro Hi Waterproof Insulated Winter Sneakers in gray quarry.

The leather and suede hybrid adds a touch of class, while the 100g insulation will stop your feet from getting chilled on those cold winter nights.

Then, keep your legs warm with these Wrangler Authentics Fleece Lined Carpenter Pants in autumn khaki color.

Combine these with this MAGCOMSEN Sherpa Lined Sweatshirt in light gray and this Dockers Weston Wool Blend Scarf Coat in charcoal.

The jacket has a light ultra-loft polyfill for added warmth and comes with a detachable plaid scarf.

From Austria to Switzerland to Italy and France, skiing opportunities are abundant during winter.

These countries have some of the most renowned ski resorts, so it makes sense to schedule some skiing during your winter vacation.

However, spending the entire day in the snow can get pretty cold, so you’ll need plenty of insulation.

Start with this WEERTI Thermal Baselayer Set , consisting of a fleece-lined top and bottoms. It is lightweight but warm, minimizing heat loss.

Over the top of your base layers, wear these Gash Hao Waterproof Softshell Snowboard Pants in black.

They are insulated with fleece lining and have a waterproof, quick-drying soft shell. There are also zippers on the bottom of the legs, designed to stop snow from getting inside the pants.

Pair the pants with this VICALLED Hooded Mountain Ski Jacket with fleece lining and multiple zip pockets for storing your belongings when out on the slope.

Lapland Adventure

Whether taking your own children or fulfilling your childhood dream, visiting the region of Lapland in Finland is a truly memorable experience.

Nonetheless, Finland is one of the coldest countries in Europe , so warmth is the priority when planning your Lapland outfits.

Build your look with these Columbia Bugaboot III Snow Boots . The proprietary technology keeps all the elements out.

At the same time, the alpine style 200g insulation layer helps you take on the freezing temperatures.

These Yeokou Sherpa-Lined Active Thermal Joggers will keep you warm and comfy. The cuffed ankle design makes it easy to tuck them in your boots to eliminate heat loss.

Pair these with the matching Yeokou Warm Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt with a thick Sherpa Lining.

Then, complete this winter look with the Columbia Buck Butte Hooded Jacket in graphite/black, which features 100% synthetic down insulation.

Now, let’s see some outfit ideas for women.

If you’re spending your European winter vacation in the city, opt for this EXLURA Smockneck Long Sleeve Sweater Dress in apricot for a touch of elegance.

It is body hugging with stylish long puff sleeves and looks fab with a black pair of Opaque Warm Fleece Lined Tights .

Pair the dress with these WEATHERPROOF Calf High Boots in brown.

They are insulated with breathable uppers and a non-slip grip, so you’ll stay protected should it start to snow or rain.

Finally, add this elegant Grace Karin Notch Lapel A Line Peacoat with a self-tie belt.

If you’re heading out onto the slopes, ensure you have the suitable gear. Start with some thermal leggings and this MERIWOOL Base Layer Shirt made from 8.5-micron 250g/m2 weight interlock-knit Merino wool.

Next, layer up with these BenBoy Fleece Slim Cargo Snow Pants in gray rose, which are waterproof and windproof with multiple zipper pockets.

Then, match them with this GEMYSE Mountain Ski Jacket in rose, which is 100% waterproof, including the zippers.

In addition, the jacket has many other cool features like adjustable velcro cuffs and stretchable gloves with thumb holes to retain warmth.

Finally, complete the ski-ready look with these Columbia Slopeside Village Omni-Heat Mid Snow Boots in clay/timber.

If your European winter vacation will feature Reindeer sleigh rides and chasing the Northern Lights, you’ll want to look cute and feel cozy.

These 90 Degree By Reflex High Waist Fleece Lined Leggings ooze comfort and warmth and come in various colors, making your outfit stylish and vibrant.

Choose the Cabernet shade and pair them with this super snuggly KIRUNDO Fuzzy Fleece Buttoned Hoodie in beige.

Stay warm with this Angashion Fuzzy Fleece Lapel Open Front Long Coat in dark camel for your outer layer.

The coat goes perfectly with these Globalwin Snow Boots in camel shade, which are insulated to withstand temperatures up to 15F and fully waterproof.

The Best Travel Clothes for Women Inspired by Celebrities Like Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift

Starting at just $12

Versatile Travel Dresses

Flowy pants and maxi skirts, travel tops and breezy blouses.

Why Trust PEOPLE?

As a travel writer, my suitcase is nearly always half-packed. Long flights demand comfort, but new sights and cities demand style . To complicate matters, I’m a maximalist, so traditional travel advice to cram a small capsule wardrobe into a backpack never quite appeals to me, even if I have to fight the luggage scale when checking in for my flight.

Packing properly for any trip can be daunting, whether you’re throwing together a duffel for a girls’ weekend or filling a checked bag  for a multi-month jaunt all over Europe. Still, my adventures across multiple countries, climates, and time zones taught me to reach for certain staples — like comfortable walking shoes and a reliable crossbody purse — time and time again. While nailing down my perfect travel wardrobe, I turned to on-the-go celebrities like Taylor Swift and Emily Blunt for inspiration. 

A packing list comprised of versatile dresses, flowy pants, maxi skirts, and breezy shirts can go a long way — literally. Read on for the best celeb-inspired travel clothes for women to pack for your upcoming trips, as determined by shopper insights, professional style writers, celebrity research, and more.

Dresses give you plenty of bang for your buck when it comes to traveling. For one, they tend to be flexible compared to other clothing items: You can dress them up or down more effectively to target a specific dress code. Chic maxi dresses reigned supreme last summer, and Meghan Markle recently elevated  that trend in a silky high-neck maxi dress — stylish enough for a formal engagement but breezy enough for an afternoon in the sun.

Dresses of varying lengths also tend to be more conducive to layering. While summer may be “sundress season,” and we see celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow reaching for transitional midi styles in spring, the right travel dress can be an effective staple in your winter wardrobe, too. You can keep the style in your cold-weather repertoire by winterizing the look like Emily Ratajkowski . Opt for a darker colorway, chunky boots, and maybe a sweater. 

Shop any of these styles starting at just $30

The Drop Women’s Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress

This tiered maxi dress has an array of 1,900+ perfect five-star ratings on Amazon for its airiness — and rave reviews from multiple PEOPLE writers . It’s such a classic silhouette for all occasions, and it has the most coveted design detail on dresses: pockets. Shoppers do note that there’s little stretch, so consider your bust size when ordering. 

Sizes: XXS–5X | Materials: 100% Tencel Lyocell | Colors: 18

Editors Say

“I bought this maxi dress from The Drop when it was on sale, and I’m going to buy two more at full price — that’s how much I love it. In fact, I have to force myself not to wear it multiple times a week. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and flattering for my short, curvy body. It even has pockets and adjustable straps that can be crossed in the back. The best part, though? I don’t have to wear a bra!” — Kayla Kitts , shopping editor

Linen Roll Tab Dollman Midi Dress

Chico's

An ankle-skimming midi always comes in handy, and a linen fabric is an excellent choice for temperature regulation: cooling in warmer climates yet cozy in cooler ones. This relaxed, button-down frock comes in whimsical watermelon and khaki hues. It even has adjustable, oversized sleeves for added comfort.

Sizes: XS–XL | Materials: 100% linen | Colors: 2

Skinny Strap Seamless Mini Slip

Free People

Free People excels in lightweight, flattering, multi-use dresses. Most pieces in their slip category — like this itty-bitty seamless LBD — can be worn as an undergarment, dress, or top. (Just tuck it in!) Each slip truly compresses down to nothing, making it the ultimate space-saving garment.

Sizes: XS–XL | Materials: 92% nylon, 8% spandex | Colors: 3

Roxy Golden Dawn Dress

Everybody needs a comfortable floral sundress to throw on in warmer climates, especially after a sunburn. Whether you frequent the beach in your travels or just want something soft that wears in well over time, this Roxy pick is built for comfort.

Available Sizes: M, L | Materials: Viscose | Colors: 1

Tencel Jersey Tank Maxi Dress

This Quince pick has a soft, comfy stretch ideal for long days on your feet, and is even made of biodegradable fabric. With six colorways and a  lightweight and sleeveless silhouette, this dress almost guarantees plenty of use.

Sizes: XS–XL | Materials: Tencel, spandex | Colors: 6

The right flowy pants can make the ultimate base layer, whether you’re on a nine-hour flight or dressing to the nines. Loose, roomier pants have been all the rage this year, with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence , Zendaya , and Emily Blunt all sporting various wide-leg styles.

Similarly, breezy white maxi skirts are majorly on trend right now (and always), stylist Liz Teich told PEOPLE. Just look at Katie Holmes stepping out in NYC. She exemplifies how airy styles can be  great for warmer weather, but still look polished. Plus, the lighter fabrics are literally lighter in your bag, so why not throw in another?

Tronjori High Waist Casual Wide Leg Palazzo Pants

This Amazon pick embodies the quintessential palazzo pant we’ve all bookmarked on Pinterest. The wide leg and high waist are timeless, and the pair comes in a whopping 31 different colorways, plus tall and petite variations.

Sizes: XS–XXL, short and long options | Materials: Polyester | Colors: 31

Hermoza Rachel Skirt Dress

While this one’s more of a splurge, its multifunctionality makes it a worthy all-in-one piece for any vacation. As a frequent traveler and Hawai’i resident, I was absolutely flabbergasted (and fascinated) when I found out this floral maxi skirt/dress hybrid is made of durable swimsuit material.  

Pair it with the matching swimsuit top for a striking two-piece set by the beach, wear it as a vibrant maxi dress to dinner, or style the skirt alone with a gauzy button-down and sandals for a jaunt through town. Of course, I love how convenient it is to wash and dry for travels, too.

Sizes: XS–L | Materials: Polyester, elastane | Colors: 1

Nashalyly Chiffon High-Waisted Pleated Skirt

This shopper-favorite maxi skirt has over 5,000 five-star ratings from Amazon customers, who note that you’ll want to size up for the best fit. Reviewers appreciate the skirt’s easy movement, comfortable elastic waist, and how many outfits they can build with it.

Sizes: S–3XL | Materials: Chiffon | Colors: 44

Daily Practice by Anthropologie Parachute Pants

Anthropologie

These pants are my personal go-to. I wear them to work in, to work out in, and to casual gatherings and nights out with friends. Most crucially, I wear them every single time I pass through an airport. They’re incredibly comfortable, lightweight (I tend to overheat on travel days), and adaptable, with plenty of pockets for easy ID and passport access. I’ve bought them in multiple colors, from neutrals to bolds.

Sizes: XXS–3X plus petite sizing | Materials: Nylon | Colors: 9

Even if you’re wearing the same pair of jeans day in, day out for the duration of your ten-day stint to Australia, Greece, or wherever you’re traveling, the right top can make a similar foundation feel like an entirely different look. First, you’ll want a collection of sleek, basic tanks and tops for ultimate versatility. Or perhaps a nautical, striped button down, ideally summoning visions of boat days and beachside barbecues. (Oh, and easy sun protection.) As Jessica Alba proves with white jeans and coordinating sneakers, the look is seasonal and sophisticated .

And is there anything better than wearing a delicate eyelet blouse on a hot summer day? A breezy blouse can serve as a dressy swimsuit cover-up at the beach. It can also keep your wardrobe work-friendly while on a Zoom meeting across time zones, or give a romantic vibe during date night. 

Wear it loose like Taylor Swift out for a summer walk, or tucked in like Jennifer Aniston at dinner in Paris. Either way, a casual blouse might just be a better companion on your vacation than your plus one.

Wild Fable Cap Sleeve Ruched Side Seam T-Shirt

This pullover top can be styled in a variety of ways, making it a must-have on any trip with limited packing space. The subtle side ruching and cap sleeve add some feminine detail that dress it up for more elevated occasions, but it’s definitely casual enough to rock on a daily basis. As another PEOPLE writer noted , the cap sleeve is an ideal middle ground between a tank and short sleeve — which might be why Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift are so fond of the style.

Sizes: XXS–4X | Materials: Recycled polyester, spandex | Colors: 4

H&M Top with Eyelet Embroidery Sleeves

A simple eyelet short-sleeve top can serve you on many occasions, whether jetting off on a day trip or trekking to your regular weekend brunch spot. At only $20, this adorable H&M puff-sleeve is just frothy enough to add a little je ne sais quoi , but has a  French simplicity at its core.

Sizes: XS–XXL | Materials: 100% cotton | Colors: 3

Gap Modern Mock Neck

Deal alert.

This Gap tank is up to 60 percent off in a range of neutral and stripe patterns for a limited time.

There’s never a bad time to stock up on flattering basics like this Gap tank. Available in regular, tall, and petite sizes, this Meghan Markle -esque mock-neck top has a straight silhouette and slim fit, and truly goes with everything .

Sizes: XXS–XXL, in regular, tall, and petite | Materials: 58% cotton, 39% modal, 3% spandex | Colors: 5

AE Perfect Button-Up Shirt

American Eagle

Right now, this American Eagle button-up is 60 percent off in all colors.

Okay, we’ll admit it: We never quite got over the coastal grandmother trend. And why should we? The whole point is that it’s timeless, classic, and elegant whether you’re going all-in on a preppy look or simply throwing on a striped button-down as a cover-up after the beach. This soft, effortless shirt has a slightly oversized fit for extra comfort.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Materials: 100% cotton | Colors: 8

The Other Travel Clothes You’re Forgetting

Tops? Check. Flowy pants and skirts? Check. Dresses that you can wear out or treat as a cover-up? Practically the daily uniform. Still, there are a few other staples you’ll want to make sure you have on hand, too. It’s an oft-repeated cliché, but layering truly is key.

Levi’s Womens 501 Original Jean Shorts

These Levi’s shorts are currently 40 percent off at Amazon. 

Jean shorts are essential for casual days strolling through a city or impromptu meetups with friends. Throw them on over a sleek swimsuit or break them out in transitional weather. And this isn’t the only Levi’s denim we’re fond of — two of its most popular jeans hold space in our team’s closets, too.

Sizes: 23–39 | Materials: Denim | Colors: 44

AE Long Weekend Crewneck Sweater

This American Eagle Crewneck Sweater is 60 percent off for a limited time.

A layerable neutral sweater is another travel must-have, especially in that frigid airplane air conditioning. Similarly, for those long stretches away from home, an oversized sweater can also be a cuddly comfort for when you’re missing your own bed.

Sizes: XXS–L | Materials: Cotton | Colors: 1

How to Pack the Best Travel Clothes

When building your travel wardrobe, you’ll want to consider factors like trip duration, climate, and more. Do you want year-round items or would you rather commit to rotating your staples seasonally? Will you have access to laundry? (If not, you’ll want to opt for fabrics that wick away odor and sweat so you can get multiple wears out of each item.) Are there sights or situations that have etiquette requirements and dress codes requiring a certain amount of coverage? 

Some personal guidance as a travel expert: Many packing guides might swear by a neutral, minimalist capsule wardrobe for ultimate frequency of wear, but you shouldn’t be afraid to go maximalist either. If you pick comfortable, durable pieces, you’ll still get more use from those “singular” funky outfits than you expect — and your camera roll will thank you for choosing the pieces you actually love most. Similarly, accessories like bold jewelry or belts generally take up very little luggage real estate but go a long way in elevating any look. Might as well add some pizzazz to your Pisa pic, right?

And don’t forget the packing cubes and travel organizers to get the most space out of your carry-on suitcase , either.

Silk is a naturally temperature-regulating fabric that can help keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Plus, it drapes fabulously and looks luxurious. However, silk has previously gotten a bad reputation as a high-maintenance fabric that must be dry-cleaned, striking it off many travelers’ packing lists. 

Fortunately, machine-washable silk has hit the clothing market, making this fabric something you can wear every day (or multiple days in a row on a trip). Silk clothes pack down small, are lightweight, and can help dress up a travel outfit. I tested some of the most popular machine-washable silk clothes to find out if they’re worthy of a spot in your suitcase. 

How We Tested

I washed each item of clothing featured here according to the directions on the care label, which meant tossing them in my washing machine on a delicate clothing setting with cold water and hanging them to dry. Then, I wore each piece of clothing to evaluate how it looked, felt, and held up to long days on the road. 

Quince Washable Stretch Silk Midi Shirt Dr

Quince is probably the most popular brand for washable silk clothing, offering a large variety of different styles in the fabric. Quince’s silk pieces are all priced affordably and were the most inexpensive items that I tried. However, the luxe fabric looks like it should come with a much higher price tag. 

I tested the Washable Stretch Silk Midi Shirt Dress , a perfect travel dress. The adjustable tie waist gives you a custom fit, and the midi length is very flattering. I’ll be packing this dress for all my summer trips—it’s lightweight, and the side slits help with airflow, making it comfortable even on the hottest days.

The shirtdress design with real buttons makes this dress super versatile, so you can truly wear it for day or night. The silk fabric held up very well to washing, maintaining its soft feel. 

M.M. LaFleur Vicky Tank

M.M. LaFleur was launched to fill a hole in the women’s workwear market and offer stylish and easy-to-wear clothing, and the brand’s washable silk Vicky Tank definitely lives up to that promise. This tank top features a scoop neck that’s not too low and a relaxed silhouette that looks good tucked or untucked. My favorite feature of the Vicky Tank was the built-in snaps that keep bra snaps in place. 

This sleeveless shirt would be perfect to bring on a business trip. It looks great both under a blazer and worn on its own. 

The Vicky Tank held up very well from machine washing. The care instructions recommend giving the shirt a quick steam to bring back the classic, smooth feel of silk, but I achieved the same effect by hanging the tank in the bathroom while I showered. 

5 Worst Shoes for Travel (And What to Wear Instead)

Everlane Washable Clean Silk Relaxed Shirt

Everlane’s Washable Clean Silk Relaxed Shirt deserves a permanent spot in your travel wardrobe because of its versatility. Wear it tucked in, untucked, buttoned, or unbuttoned as an extra layer—this classic button-down looks good no matter what. The relaxed fit makes this shirt more comfortable for long travel days, and the traditional point collar allows you to dress this top up as needed. 

The shirt is made from Everlane’s clean silk, which is dyed with bluesign-approved dyes and crafted in a LEED-certified factory. When washed on the delicate cycle and air dried, the shirt emerged looking and feeling as good as it did pre-wash. 

Fishers Finery Mulberry Silk Robe

If you’re staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel, a robe is an underrated piece of clothing to pack. I always bring along Fishers Finery’s Mulberry Silk Robe , which packs down extremely small. 

Made from 100 percent pure mulberry silk, the robe comes with a mesh wash bag that you can toss the robe in and wash on the delicate or hand wash cycle. I ran it through my machine in the bag on the delicate cycle, and the robe looked as good as if I had dry-cleaned it.

The robe is well-designed, with an inner modesty tie for extra security, an attached belt that won’t get lost, and pockets. 

Quince Washable Silk Pajama Shorts

Upgrade your travel sleepwear to washable silk, like Quince’s Washable Silk Pajama Shorts . These lightweight shorts will keep you cool in even the hottest hotel room, and the silk fabric is extra kind to skin, helping to keep you comfortable. They also pack down smaller than any other pair of pajamas I’ve ever had, which I love.

Quince recommends washing the silk pajama shorts inside out in a garment bag on a delicate or gentle cycle, which I did. They emerged unwrinkled and ready to wear.

Best Winter Jacket Deals

Best winter comfy shoe deals, best winter travel top deals, best winter travel pants deals, best winter matching set deals, best winter hiking and outdoor deals.

Travel + Leisure / Tyler Roeland

One of my favorite pastimes is browsing the sites of my favorite retailers (Everlane, Madewell, Nordstrom, Patagonia, and Abercrombie, to name a few) and picking out different outfits and imagining myself frockling around the streets of New York City (or any city for that matter) in. While this doesn’t always result in purchases — okay, it usually does — I'll definitely make it to checkout this holiday weekend on my scheduled scroll, as all of my favorite brands are hosting unbelievable secret sales that are just too good not to share. 

So, I took it upon myself to comb through the long weekend sales so you'll have the best of the best when it comes to quality, style, and savings. If you’ve got a trip coming up, you’re going to want to sit down for this one because deals are up to 72 percent off, and you can expect big discounts on comfortable travel pants , cozy shoes , warm puffer jackets , and so much more.

Winter’s in full swing, and I’m eyeing these extra cozy coats to keep me warm (and stylish) as the temperatures continue to drop. If you’re also on the hunt for a new coat, the deals this weekend on puffers, trenches, down jackets, and more are a can’t-miss, and if I were you, I’d start with the Everlane Women's The Re:Down Puffer Jacket that’s on sale for $160 or the Amazon Essentials Women's Lightweight Puffer Jacket while it’s a mere $34. Or, if you’re into a more dramatic trench coat type style, check out the Bernardo Double Breasted Trench Coat that’s half off at Nordstrom this weekend.

Between the Amazon best-selling Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 Running Shoes on sale for $90 and a pair of Everlane Women's Lug Chelsea Boots discounted 70 percent, the sales on comfy travel shoes this weekend are among the best that I’ve seen in awhile. Everyone knows that the shoes you wear on a trip are just as important as the gear you pack, and if you’re in need of a new pair of shoes (whether that be fuzzy slippers , supportive walking sneakers , or weatherproof boots ) these sales are for you.

A fun pop of color from a sweater or cardigan is one of my favorite ways to elevate any winter outfit, and right now, so many vibrant-hued tops are majorly discounted — and when I say major, I mean it. This weekend, you can score the Free People Luna High Low Sweater for 69 percent off  to keep you cozy-cute all season long just as they can snag a Cashmere V-Neck Sweater from Madewell for as low as $54.

It’s 2024, no one wants to (or should be) wearing uncomfortable pants. If your closet is still lacking a few stellar pairs of travel pants, you’re in luck because my favorite pair of pants, the Everlane The Utility Barrel Pants , are on sale for just $39. And don’t be intimidated by the Abercrombie Vegan Leather 90s Relaxed Pants , I have a pair of these pants and they’re incredibly stretchy. In fact, shoppers that have tried them also call them a “winter staple leather pant,” because of how comfortable and easy they are to style. You can also never go wrong with a pair of Alo Yoga Airbrush High-Waist 7/8 Bootcut Leggings for a long travel day, especially if you shop them discounted like they are today.

For the days that I don’t feel like putting an entire outfit together but still want to look and feel great, I always look to matching sets. They’re the one-and-done winter outfit hack that I love, especially on travel days. And frankly, if you don’t have a few in your closet already, you’re missing out. Luckily, there are a few of my favorites on sale this weekend, including the Lillusory Women's Oversized Sweater Set and Fixmatti Women's Knit Sweater Set that are both $54 at Amazon. On any given day, you can also typically spot me sporting my Abercrombie YPB NeoKnit Joggers and a matching crewneck sweater , and it just so happens that they’re both on sale, too. 

• Fixmatti Women's Knit Sweater Set , $54 (originally $65) 
• Abercrombie Women's YPB NeoKnit Joggers , $56 (originally $80)
• Abercrombie Women's YPB NeoKnit Mini Crew , $49 (originally $70)

• Zesica Women’s Two-Piece Lounge Set , $36 (originally $64)
• Btfbm Women’s Crewneck Ribbed Set , $40 (originally $53) 

Now that we’re in the thick of the cold winter months, if you’re embarking on any outdoor adventures, the gear that you pack is paramount to a safe and successful trip. In my opinion, outdoor gear garments should also look great too, so I’ve gathered a few of my personal (and on-sale) favorites: the 20-percent-off Vuori Women's Outdoor Trainer Shell Jacket and the durable yet cute-enough-to-wear-to-the-farmers-market Keen Women's Nxis Evo Mid WP Hiking Shoes that are discounted to $108. 

• Fz Fantastic Zone Winter Accessory Set , $30 (originally $36)
• Vuori Women's Outdoor Trainer Shell Jacket , $94 (originally $118)

Subway is following in the steps of some of its fast-food rivals with the introduction of self-service kiosks and its own dedicated app.

Customers will be able to place orders via digital screens sent to the kitchen instead of making their way along the chain of ingredients.

The self-service kiosks will be in all UK stores before the end of the year,  The Grocer  reports.

The sandwich shop chain is also launching a new app which will enable online orders - and offer customers points towards its "Subway Rewards" loyalty scheme, it said.

The points can eventually be converted into "Subway Cash" to spend on menu items.

Dan Holm, digital leader at Subway, said: "As we think about Subway's future, we're doubling down on our global digital commitment to streamline and simplify the guest experience from start to finish."

P Diddy has sold off his stake in the media company he founded more than a decade ago. 

The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, released his shares of Revolt with the company saying the have been fully redeemed and retired. 

Revolt has not disclosed how much Combs was paid for his stake in the hip-hop news and entertainment company, which he founded in 2013.

It also announced a new ownership structure that will give its employees an equity stake in the company. 

The move comes after several lawsuits were filed against Combs , accusing him of sexual assault and rape. 

In November, he was sued by R&B singer Cassie, who said he subjected her to a years-long abusive relationship that included beatings and rape.

Combs settled the lawsuit with Cassie, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, a few days after it was filed.

Three in five secondary school teachers and nearly 80% of primary school teachers are spending their own money on supporting students, according to new research.

A report by the National Foundation for Educational Research, based on a survey of 1,282 teachers and senior leaders, found a quarter of teachers had already spent £100 of their own cash on their pupils or school this academic year.

Some 79% of primary school teachers and 62% of secondary school educators reported spending their own money at some point.

And nearly one in five primary and 17% of secondary teachers said they were spending money on meeting pastoral needs such as providing food or clothes.

Jude Hillary, the NFER's co-head of UK policy and practice, said the report "clearly highlights the high level of need among young people".

She said teachers were "going above and beyond to meet pupils' pastoral needs using their personal funds" and the "unrecognised" support was coming at a time when staff themselves are facing their own cost pressures.

Tesco has started re-stocking its packs of a dozen eggs online, after lengthy supply issues forced them to stop selling them.

The supermarket had already re-started selling them in stores, but online shoppers had to buy two packs of six eggs if they wanted 12, costing them very slightly more.

The shortages began in the autumn of 2022 as farmers left the industry or pulled back on production due to rising costs.

An outbreak of bird flu last year also impacted the sector.

Customers of Loveholidays have had their travel plans thrown into chaos after the parent company of two of its partners unexpectedly went bust. 

In a post on Facebook, the holiday firm said FTI Group, which owns YouTravel and Meeting Point, had filed for insolvency. 

As a result, the accommodation and transfer arrangements of some travellers have been affected. 

A "small number" of hotels have already started contacting Loveholiday travellers, asking them to pay for their rooms again.

In the comments of the post, one person said they had been "threatened to be removed by police" for refusing to pay again. 

"We are supposed to go home Thursday evening and worried our transfers and flights might be affected because we are refusing to pay again," Scott Love wrote. 

"Shambles this and has ruined our holiday for me, my partner and three children." 

Several other people commented, asking the provider to tell them if their trip had been impacted. 

Loveholidays said it was "working hard" to honour its customers bookings and "minimise disruption" to any holiday. 

It also said it was "absolutely committed" to covering costs and was working with affected customers, and the hotels involved, to make sure that happens.

Those who are on holiday and need support have been advised to contact the holiday support team by calling the number on their booking documents. 

"If you're travelling with us soon and are wondering if your holiday is affected: Please don't worry. There is nothing you need to do - our team is working hard to honour any impacted bookings with another partner," Loveholidays added. 

Sky News has contacted the company for comment. 

Chef Tom Brown has announced he is closing his high-end Hackney restaurant Cornerstone due to high costs of the tasting menu format and changing diner preferences.

The seafood-focused restaurant first opened in 2018 and earned a Michelin star in 2021.

In a statement, Brown said Cornerstone had been his "proudest moment" and his "home for the last six years", and added that his focus would now be on his nearby Pearly Queen site.

First Direct is ending its text message banking service after 25 years, according to a report.

An email seen by This Is Money said the service - which texts customers mini bank statements and alerts them to their balance dropping below a certain amount - will be stopped on 10 August.

First Direct told the outlet that customers could get "more detailed and up-to-date information" by logging onto its app or online banking.

Tesco has partnered with Virgin Red to offer Clubcard holders the chance to turn points into experiences.

Those signed up to the supermarket's loyalty scheme will get twice the points value when they turn points earned on their shopping into Virgin Points.

A bonus 5,000 points is available for anyone who signs up to auto-exchange all their Clubcard points to Virgin Points for the first time.

McDonald's has lost the EU trademark for "Big Mac" when it comes to chicken sandwiches after a long-running dispute with an Irish restaurant chain. 

The European Court of Justice upheld a complaint from Galway-based Supermac's against the US fast food giant. 

The trademark for the words "Big Mac" was initially registered with the EU International Property Office (EUIPO) in respect of meat, fish and chicken sandwiches as well as a range of restaurant services by McDonald's in 1996.

Generally, the rights of a holder to an EU trademark are revoked if it has not been put to genuine use within a continuous period of five years.

Supermac's argued McDonald's had insufficiently used the contested trademark in relation to "chicken sandwiches".

McDonald's and the EUIPO put forward examples of advertisements and display boards relating to "Grand Big Mac Chickens".

However, the court found the evidence was not sufficient to prove McDonald's had used the contested trademark enough in relation to poultry products.

Supermac's complaint was upheld and McDonald's protection of the phrase for such purposes was overturned. 

Rishi Sunak's claim in last night's debate that Labour will raise everyone's taxes by £2,000 comes from a "dossier" published by the Tories last month, which purported to calculate their tax and spending plans. 

The headline "finding" was that over the course of the next four years, Labour had roughly £59bn of spending plans but only £20bn of revenue-raising plans.

That leaves a £39bn hole. Divide that by the number of households in the country (18.4m) and you get a figure of just over £2,000.

Now, there are all sorts of objections to the way the Conservatives have carried out this exercise. 

For one thing, they deployed a weapon Labour don't have: because they're the party of government, they were able to ask Treasury civil servants to cost some Labour policies.

Today there has been a backlash - including from the Treasury's permanent secretary himself - about the way the Tories have portrayed these sums. 

The £2,000 figure isn't really a Treasury calculation or an "independent" one, as Mr Sunak called it last night. It's a Conservative figure - but it was put together in part with figures commissioned from civil servants. 

Labour also says many of the policies in that Tory dossier won't cost half as much as the Conservatives claim. 

Regardless, while £2,000 sounds like a big number, it's actually a cumulative total from four years. A far more representative figure to take from the dossier is £500 - the annual figure. 

And while that's not to be sniffed at (if you believe it - which you probably shouldn't) it's far, far smaller than the tax rises we've all experienced under this Conservative government since 2019.

They amount, all told, to an average of around £3,000 a year per household or, if we grit our teeth and tot it up as the Tories did in their dossier, over £13,000 over the course of the parliament. 

Which rather dwarfs that £2,000 figure.

Current account holders looking to make a quick bit of cash can benefit from a flurry of new switching incentives being offered by banks at the moment.

Several providers are fighting for new custom with offers ranging from £100 to £200 upfront plus other rewards.

Now is actually a good time if you're considering switching - as everything should be wrapped up in time for payday at the end of the month, when many people also have bills coming out of their account.

Anyone looking to make the move to a new provider and qualify for the switching offer will need to do so through the  Current Account Switch Service .

The latest data from CASS found Nationwide set a record for UK current account switches in the last three months of 2023.

Switchers can get £175 by opening up a Santander Edge current account. The incentive also offers 1% cashback on household bills paid by direct debit and 7% AER on a linked savings account.

To get the bonus, you'll have to complete the full switch, set up two active direct debits and pay in £1,500 within 60 days of telling Santander to switch your account.

The offer is only available to those who've never had a switching bonus from Santander.

Similarly to Santander, Lloyds is offering £175 for people who switch to its Club Lloyds, Club Silver or Club Platinum accounts.

Customers can also choose an extra reward of a year's Disney+ subscription, six cinema tickets, a Coffee Club and Gourmet Society membership or magazine subscription.

The switch has to include the transfer of at least three direct debits, and you won't be eligible if you've switched to Lloyds, Halifax or the Bank of Scotland since April 2020 or the switch occurs after 30 July.

Existing Nationwide current account holders can make £200 by switching a non-Nationwide current account with at least two direct debits to a new or existing FlexDirect account.

To be eligible, you'll need to have held an eligible Nationwide account on 31 March, and you can't have received a switching bonus from the building society since 18 August 2021.

Those who choose to switch to TSB will get a £100 bonus and up to £60 in cashback, plus a reward if they stay until January 2025.

To qualify for the £100, switchers will need to make a minimum of five debit card payments before 5 July. For up to £60 cashback, you'll need to make at least 20 debit card payments each calendar month. 

Eligible customers can also choose an extra reward in January, such as a night away, monthly cinema tickets or a NOW Entertainment membership.

Similarly to previous offers, you can't have benefited from a TSB switch bonus since 1 October 2022.

First Direct

Customers will get a £175 welcome bonus if they switch to a First Direct 1st Account, including access to a linked 7% AER regular saver account and a possible interest-free £250 overdraft.

You can't have had any account with the bank before or have opened a current account with its partner company HSBC since 1 January 2018. 

To get the bonus you'll have to pay in £1,000+ within 30 days of opening the account and use the debit card five times.
