Cold Cute and Packed Right: Winter Weekend Away Packing Essentials

Overcome overpacking! Using key pieces that layer and mix well, you’ll stay warm and look cute all weekend without the stress. Here you go, your guide to packing light and looking right on your winter getaway.

As a reformed overpacker, I have recently unlocked the secrets to packing smart while still looking cute. I’ll take you through your base layer to your accessories, all you need is some versatile pieces to make many different looks. Layers are everything Layers on layers on layers. Start with thermal tights and a couple of long-sleeved tops. This base will keep you warm without feeling bulky, and they work under everything. Wear your thermal tights under jeans, skirts, or some leather pants for to keep you extra warm and cozy. You only need a couple; they are an important staple and more importantly, they are very light and leave lots of room for your more fun clothes.

One coat for all!

Girl put on a coat! No more shivering in the cold because you think your coat is going to ruin your outfit. Your jacket should make your outfit not break it. Bring one staple, versatile, coat that works for everything. Whatever works best for you, an oversized leather jacket, a trench coat, or even your puffer coat in a neutral colour like black should go with all your outfits. Whether you’re wandering around or going to dinner, your coat should pull everything together. Just remember to layer and one coat is all you need for a weekend of fun.

Jeans and leather pants:

The dynamic duo. For a winter weekend, you really only need two pairs of pants. Bring your favourite pair of jeans and faux leather pants. Jeans are your multifaceted bestie, they can be perfect for more chill daytime looks, and you can layer them with thermal tights to stay extra warm. Leather pants can add some edge to your style for evening looks. Both options will be great for mixing and matching with any tops you’ve packed. Keep your wardrobe flexible without overdoing it!

Crossbody Bag: Hands-Free Style

There is no way we’re dealing with a shoulder bag while being wrapped up in layers. Not fun. A crossbody bag is perfect and cute for a hands-free style. Pick your favourite cross-body bag that will work with all your outfits. She’s cute, she’s comfortable, and she’s practical, big enough for your essentials without being bulky.

Accessories!

Accessories are my favourite way to incorporate some of your personal style into every look. Your favourite scarf in a bold colour or cool pattern will help keep you warm and add some personal flare to your outfit. Hats are a must too! Pack your cutest cozy beanie for laid-back vibes. Also, a versatile pair of sunglasses is a must for snow glare and will elevate any look.

Don’t Forget Skincare

Don’t Forget! Cold weather can be rough on your skin, so don’t forget a good moisturizer to keep it hydrated. A hydrating lip balm is also key, so you don’t have any dry, chapped lips. Don’t forget SPF either! Even in the winter, the sun can do damage. There are your key staples! Now you can mix and match all weekend without overpacking. Layer to stay warm and look cute, accessorize, and stay cozy. Have fun while being cute and mindful on your winter weekend getaway!
