Clothing to Pack for Winter Travel

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Vacations are the perfect opportunity to explore and have some fun, even in cold conditions. If you’re planning a winter getaway, chances are that you'll need the right attire for the adventure!

From functional layers to stylish accessories, here is all you need to know about packing clothes that will keep you warm and looking great on vacation!

Merino Wool Base Layer Leggings

These super comfy 100% wool leggings function just like long underwear. Except they’re made of soft, super-luxurious wool instead of cheap polyester.

Sweaters

We wear a LOT of sweaters when we travel in the winter. We dress them up by layering them over our collared shirts or adding scarves.

Packable Down Jacket

We keep our jackets stuffed in our daypacks in case we need an extra layer of warmth on super cold days.

Travel Jeans

My favorite travel jeans, made by Aviator USA, have 6 HUGE POCKETS. And 2 of them are zipped and hidden inside other pockets, for extra pickpocket protection!

Warm Lounge Pants

Our need for cozy, warm comfort in the cold extends to relaxing in a hostel lounge and even sleeping. So we each bring a cozy pair of warm sweatpants made from - you guessed it - merino wool!
