With Thanksgiving just days away, I’ve been starting to think about what to wear when traveling home for the holidays. Over the years I’ve perfected my uniform: a black base (usually stretchy jeans and a cashmere sweater) with cozy cold weather accessories. These are my four go-tos:

Comfy Booties

I’ve been a fan of UGG boots for years and Bloomingdale’s has an amaze selection. I love the stacked heel on these black booties because they make them a little dressier. They’re super comfy for a car ride or the airport but still chic enough if I have to head straight to dinner.

Hats

Next up is accessories. I generally do a hat so I don’t have to worry about my hair day of travel. I was drawn to the two-tone coloring of this wool fedora. I went with gray and black but it also comes in gray and camel.

Oversize Scarves

My favorite cold weather accessory for travel is a cashmere wrap. You can wear it as a scarf to add interest to your outfit then it doubles as a soft blanket if you want to take a nap.

Expandable Tote

I’ve been using this nylon tote for years. It’s water-resistant and and has an adjustable shoulder strap. But my favorite part is that it expands! I generally go somewhere with it zipped up, then expand it to carry all my extra things I pick up while traveling.

I hope these travel tips help you wherever you’re off to this holiday season!
