Traveling from a cold to warm place

by Renae Virata

The anticipation of a trip to a warmer place makes you want to slip into your thong sandals, shorts, and tank as soon as you board the plane.  But that small window of time traveling to the airport and even on the plane will be more comfortable if you dress appropriately but transitively. Here are some tips on what will get you from cold to warm seamlessly.

Shoes. | You will likely need boots or a covered shoe anyway as you make your way to the airport, so why make your suitcase heavier by packing your heaviest shoes?  An open-toed bootie worn with light sheer socks or closed-toe flats (preferably in a medium leather) will work for traveling and during your trip.  Even in warmer climates, open-toed booties are all the rage with sundresses or shorts.

Layers. | The lighter each layer, the easier you can shed it as you move from cold to warm.  Then you can use each piece separately on your trip!  Wear a long-sleeve shirt or button-down under a cotton sweater and top off with a rain jacket with a zippable lining that can be removed during your trip.  You save space in your suitcase, stay warm before you get to your destination, and have a rain jacket to use in case it rains during your trip.

Pants. | Stick with skinny jeans that you can wear on your trip or a lighter pair.  Casual cotton pants or cargoes (especially in a more versatile olive or camel color) will keep you warm and work well on excursions when you need a little more coverage against bugs, plants, and / or cooler temps.
