What to pack for your winter city break?
When going away for a break you most certainly want to look effortlessly chic in all your social media photos. In addition, it is always a hassle to travel heavy, so you can’t really pack your whole wardrobe for a vacation. But how do you pack light for a winter break and look classy and be comfortable? Sounds impossible? Not so much. We categorically break down the winter must-wears for a vacation. We present you with a list of staples that you should bring with yourself, and what’s more exciting is that you could mix and match these items to create different looks!

A long coat goes a long way- The winter breeze is going to be merciless and chilly. One of the most convenient yet stylish ways to keep away the cold and look like a character straight from a holiday  movie is a long coat. Now this can be your classic trench that never goes out of style, or a basic earthy toned piece, or one which that features a striking colour. The colour and design depends on your sense of personal style. If you choose a trench or a neutral toned coat, you can switch up the look with brightly coloured and printed scarves; and if you’re going with a brightly coloured one, then neutral toned scarves will look stunning with it. A coat is a versatile piece of garment that can be styled with dresses, pants, skirts, tights and give you a chic look.
Tights and stockings- Break into those comfortable tights and pair them up with your coat to beat the cold winters. You can create a look with a pair of tights and your coat or if you are in the mood for a dress or a skirt, go for a classic pair of black stockings. Tights and stockings both give a well- fitted and comfortably fashionable look. Good pair of boots for days- There’s no denying that if you’re going for a break, you’re going to do touristy things. Do not let heels or uncomfortable shoes hamper your travelling experience. Choose ankle or calf length boots that are water resistant and have comfy soles. This way you can walk on snow, in the rain, through terrains and not scuff your feet. Black and brown are the classics, but you can go with any colour that accentuates your outfit. These boots look smart, classy and you can walk in them for days.
Get your accessory game on point- We’re talking scarves, hats, gloves and bags. You do not need a whole lot of clothing if your accessorising game is on point. You can take the same items of clothing and turn them into different looks by accessorising them differently. Get your neutral toned scarves, your bright ones, textured ones and printed ones. Style them according to your mood, use them to gather your coat at the waist, tie them to a purse handle- you can experiment so much with your scarves. For extra chilly nights and breezy days, you have your hat or a beanie and a good old pair of gloves. Also, don’t forget to bring a bag that can securely hold all your belongings while you travel across the city. Go for tiny faux leather backpacks that are utilitarian and look stunning.

There you have it! Your list of must-haves for a getaway to the city during the winter. You do not have to pack heavy or compromise on comfort in order to look good. Carry these staples that are versatile and create new looks every day!
