cold weather packing

Cold weather vacations are all the rage. I’ve taken several with Mike when we were newly married. One of the perks of being newly married later in life is having a dedicated budget item to travel and an partner who wants to see the world. We’ve been to Iceland and Quebec City and both were amazing. They were so amazing that I created a travel guide for each. You can find my Iceland guide here and my Quebec City guide here. However, the most popular question about cold weather vacations is how do you handle cold weather packing?

My answer to the question how to manage cold weather packing? Layers! You have to layer up for cold weather vacations. Remember, you can always take layers off, but you can’t put them on if you don’t have it with you. I’m pretty good at packing color-coordinated, interchangeable items for vacations. This allows me to maximize my space in the suitcase and provides outfit options when I arrive. However, I admit that in some cases I do re-wear certain pieces if I have to, but overall I try to wear fresh pieces each day.

Take a peak into my list for cold weather packing as well as some outfit options for when you arrive. I tend to over pack or under pack, but this list is just the right amount for cold weather vacations. In addition, you can shop the posts as well by clicking on the links or the pictures.
