Cold Weather Travel

 

When you have a trip that includes destinations with both cold and warm weather, the simple solution is to layer. In the above example, you can see how easily you can transform a summer outfit into a winter one by layering a cardigan, coat, and tights over a summer dress.

The Cold vs Warm Weather Ratio

 

Think about how many days you will be in warm vs cold weather. If you have a 10 day trip to Europe and will be spending 7 days in the cold and 3 days in warm weather, plan for 70% of your travel wardrobe to be for cold and 30% to be for the heat.

By using layering techniques like the one shown above you can make the most use of your clothing to maximize your travel wardrobe.
