I’ll admit that I’m selfishly writing this story, as I have three trips coming up over the next 30 days and am slightly panicked about what to pack. As you probably know, winter trips are notoriously difficult to pack for. I’m constantly looking for ways to make the process easier while ensuring I’m prepared for my cold-weather trip, and the best way to do so is to stock up on basics.
I’m someone who likes to have a bit of fun with my outfits when I travel, so I prefer to pack basics that veer toward trendy, even in the winter when the priority is warmth. But it’s possible to have both warmth and style if you shop correctly, which is what I’m here to prove. Below, I’ve rounded up all the trendy basics I’m eyeing for my upcoming travels. They’re warm, versatile, packable, and chic, which is everything one could ask for in a winter basic.
Found my new travel pants.
I can’t stand staying at a hotel without slippers. This fluffy, squishable pair would be a treat to have on hand.
I have a tendency to wear jeans all the time when it’s cold. These perfect pants break me out of my rut.
This cool oversize sweater could be worn more than once on your trip without anyone noticing.
Big outfit impact, small suitcase space taken.
Gotta love a pair of sweatpants that you can actually wear out at night.
This bolero-cardigan hybrid is the definition of a trendy basic.
This very useful basic takes up zero space in your suitcase. I suggest getting it in cream, too. Buy two or more of Who What Wear Collection’s Everyday Essentials and get 20% off.
I didn’t realize I loved this until I saw it on the model.
Pretty much the only pair of jeans you need to pack.
I’d layer this over a turtleneck for a warm and trendy look.
