A useful packing hack is carrying lightweight foldable items. Avoid heavy items no matter how important they are; look for an alternative that would be easier to maintain. For your apparel and clothes, go in for a capsule wardrobe. Carry the staples and add knick-knacks like a woollen shrug, mufflers, scarves, caps, belts, and other accessories to give a make-over to your appearance every day.
Versatile shirts
The secret to packing light is to pick versatile shirts and tops that can wear more than once with minor alterations like removing the detachable part or wearing them inside out. Body-hugging shirts and tops will keep you warm and will easily fit into your bag. They will complement any jeans, skirts or a pair of trousers.
Trendy bottoms
Thick and tight bottoms suit the weather. Packing track pants or bottoms made of fabrics like Super Poly, Tricoat, or Quantec/Taslon will do the trick. Apart from these, your regular pair of jeans or gym pants would make your travel bag lighter. Work out the footwear considering your pants and not the other way round.
Dresses and skirts
When you have decided to travel to the mountains, make the most of the chilling weather. Keep your short and summery dresses at bay for a while. One must also rule out frills and layers. It would be wise to pack dresses and skirts made out of tweed. Leather skirts will also suit the weather and your travel bag.
Protective outerwear
The most appealing part of travelling to places with cold weather is the chance to wear jackets, blazers, and fur coats. That Christmas-y look of being covered from head to toe with winter wear is so attractive. Most of the time, you would be holding them in your hands or carrying them tied around your waist! Just a jacket or two will be sufficient as you need them during the early mornings and travels at night.
Avoid fancy accessories
Wearing fashionable jewellery would be a bad idea during winters. Instead, try completing your look with gloves, mittens, boots, caps, and big belts. Carry them in a separate small bag. Avoid carrying necklaces, earrings, and other such accessories.
