The first tip is to put practical items and clothes that allow you to have several “looks” and still stay warm.

One of the advantages of traveling in winter is that you will probably have a coat on at all times, so go for an effective one.

A thicker fabric is not always the best option, jackets with synthetic fabric warm up efficiently and are lighter and easier to carry. Traveling light is a success, isn’t it?

But if you have some room left in your suitcase, take a thick coat so you can be inspired by some photos too!

If you are going to travel to some snowy destination, such as a ski resort, it is super important to carry suitable garments to deal with the snow and wind.

When choosing your snow clothing set, prioritize 100% waterproof fabrics for the outer layer. The shoes must be suitable for snow, with non-slip soles.

Now if you are going to venture into winter sports, assemble your clothes according to the needs of the sport. But don’t worry if you don’t have something: skis, poles, goggles, socks, technical gloves, jackets, pants, and other equipment and accessories can easily be rented at the ski resorts.

Extra tips:

  • In times of soaring baggage fees, here is good advice: wear your heaviest clothes on flights – like your bulky jacket, that scarf that is as big as a blanket, and so on.
  • In addition to the bulkier pieces, pack items that are soft, light, and easy to travel with. Clothing with dual function, such as a blouse that can serve as pajamas, optimizes the space in your suitcase.
  • Some places have a milder winter (perhaps no snow in sight), while others have sub-zero conditions. It is a great idea to check the weather forecast before you start packing your travel bag.
