5 Must Haves for Fall Travel
Fall is one of my favorite times to travel, but crisp days and chilly nights can make packing a challenge. Here are 5 of my must haves when packing for my autumn adventures.
1. Trench coat
Lightweight, waterproof or at least water resistant, and available in vibrant colors, trench coats are a great way to stay warm and stylish. Bonus points if it comes with a hood.
2. Scarf
Possibly the most versatile wardrobe choice, scarves are great for all destinations. In temperate weather a thick scarf can be worn in place of a sweater, and are much easier to carry around and squeeze in a suitcase. In colder locations they can serve a dual purpose — providing an extra layer of warmth and adding interest to dark or blah outerwear.
Worried about catching a cold on your flights? Consider a Scough which has a built in air filter.
3. Waterproof boots
Whether you favor booties or tall boots, do yourself a favor and make sure they’re waterproof, especially if you favor suede! Then you can romp through leaves or puddles with impunity. 🙂
4. Lip Balm
The things I love most about fall also wreak havoc with my lips, so I make sure I bring extra moisturizing lip balm. ChapStick Total Hydration 3 in 1 and Vaseline Rosy Lip Therapy are inexpensive but effective options that protect your lips and add a touch of gloss.
5. Smart touch gloves
Last year I experimented with adding a lightweight pair of smart touch gloves to my line up and what a difference it made! Not having to pull them on and off every time I wanted to check my email or take a picture with my phone saved time and also kept my hands warmer and more protected from the elements.
