Get Chic Comfort and Timeless Elegance with Jet-Set Style Hacks
Elevate your winter travel looks.
It’s that time of the year, and it seems like it keeps dragging on for months, however you can always find ways to feel cozy as winter travel beckons.
Whether it's a festive season in Paris, a New Year's in London, or a heartfelt visit to hometown kin during the holidays, they’re all good reasons to strike the perfect balance between comfort and couture.
Here are a few gender-neutral tips that will not only elevate your winter travel look but also infuse an extra layer of comfort into your journeys:
The Rise of Long, Thin Knitted Scarves:
Step into the chic era of long, thin knitted scarves as TikTok trends and GenZ stylists bid adieu to the chunky ones released in previous seasons. Trend reports reveal that these sleek knitted accessories have become the must-have for winter styling, and an alternative to their bulkier “Acne Studios” style counterparts. You never know; you might also learn knitting.
Invest in Quality Luggage:
Remember those moments when you’re wrestling with unruly trolleys as you’re trying to get your passport or boarding pass out? While renowned brands like Rimowa and Smythson set the standard, consider exploring reseller platforms for certified designs. Choose a timeless design, whether it's a weekender bag or a durable suitcase, ensuring your travel accessories are a reflection of both elegance and endurance.
The Long Black Coat:
A timeless wardrobe staple, the long black coat takes center stage, concealing your not so chic grandma’s sweater you have to wear this year. Channel the sophistication of The Row or Celine by selecting the well-tailored LBC that helps you navigate the winter chill as a "main character.”
Timeless Sunglasses:
“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment.” If you’re looking for the on-the-go celeb airport look, how about the timeless Tom Ford selection of eyewear? The designs are both luxurious and versatile, giving you the "it girl” look as you’re trying to find the departure gate.
Embrace the Art of Winter Chic:
Bid farewell to the bulky and go hard for the sleek style of layers. You could try the seasonal art of layering, revealing a well-thought-out combination of cashmere sweaters, tailored coats, and statement scarves.
Chunky sweaters, oversized cardigans, and cable-knit accessories can really make or break a look, and ultimately redefine winter chic. Creating contrasting textures and experimenting with oversized knits that effortlessly blend comfort with style will turn predictable winter looks into Pinterest-worthy ones.
Embarking on a journey, especially during winter, poses its challenges. The worst part is dressing up for the dreary cold journey to the airport to then end up in a holiday tropical destination while wearing your thickest overcoat. However, this season can also offer a canvas for your styling masterpiece without compromising practicality.
Elevate your look, veer away as much as you can from fleeting fast fashion, and stay true to your vision as you navigate the realms of winter travel.
