How To Make Your Winter Travel Wardrobe Stylish
_________________________________
Tip #1: Pick a color scheme
Choosing a color scheme amongst your winter wardrobe for an instant outfit boost. When you are well-coordinated, your look becomes seamlessly put together and also in good taste. You can opt for a monochromatic look, however, if you choose to incorporate a wider blend of two or three colors in your packing, the end result will be much more fun and versatile. For example, globe trotter and fashion blogger, Julie Sariñana of Sincerely Jules, worked in a cool color scheme within one of her airport-ready looks by mixing black and white stripes with a pop of classic denim. By sticking to neutral colors, she was not only able to pull off a seemingly effortless look, but was also able to complement her ultra luxe accessories.
Tip #2: Layer it up
Layering, one of the go-to for jetsetters, is just a must when traveling. Layering is great because it allows for versatility and easy adjustment to multiple temperatures. When you layer staple pieces such as a long sleeve tee, a button-up cardigan and an over-sized scarf, you can have multiple outfits in one. Actually, speaking of, accessorizing with a scarf in your travel-ready look is mandatory, especially when flying! It can be used as a shoulder blanket when your chilly or to hide your face from neighboring light. The scarf looks chic with almost all outfits and under this season’s savviest coats and jackets. See below for some winter wardrobe 2015 inspiration, whereby Chiara Ferragni of the Blonde Salad wears an ivory long sleeve tee, patterned poncho and thermal scarf. Her outfit is color coordinated, stylishly layered-up, and ready for travel.
Tip #3: Have a statement piece
Having a statement piece, such as an outerwear jacket or coat, is such a cute and functional must for traveling in the Winter season. This can be an edgy leather jacket, neutral colored peacoat, or even a sporty bomber jacket. All of these types of pieces will keep you warm, and depending on the occasion, will dress up your look instantly. Below are some shopping suggestions as to what will suffice as a trendy outerwear piece this season.
