Fall and Winter Women’s Apparel Essentials
Ladies, I’ve put together a list of some cold weather essentials for the traveller. Fall and winter stuff takes up a lot of room so it’s important to find things that can be paired. You won’t always be outside, some nights you’ll want to go out and be classy, other nights a bit more casual, but you don’t have room to take multiple outfits for multiple occasions. Think in layers, thermal, base and outer depending on where in the world you’re travelling, and how long you’ll be outside for. Make sure all your colours match and your accessories are interchangeable. Here is a curated list to help you find the right apparel to take with you.
