It wasn’t that long ago that I posted about Rachel Zoe’s resort picks for a warm weather vacation, so when I came upon her newest travel fashion suggestion, I just couldn’t resist!
Ask Rachel: Passport to Paris – Packing Tips for a Cold Weather Vacay
Hey RZ! What should I pack for a 10 day vacay in Paris and London in February? – submitted by @vintagefinder, via Twitter
Carole,
Paris or London at any time of year is a dream, but since you are visiting in February, you must prepare to bundle up—in style! My advice is that you bring plenty of cozy clothes and accessories without over-stuffing your suitcase…are you ready to make a packing list?
Starting with the inner-layers and working out, take with you 1. pair of sturdy leggings 2. fashion-forward jeans 3. long sleeve tee 4. chunky knit sweater and 5. long outerwear option—my vote is a trench coat! You will quickly find that dressing for cold weather is all about layering your look.
After you have your base ensemble down, the next step is to excessorize. I recommend you do that with a 6. thick scarf 7. leather gloves and 8. trapper hat. For convenience, be sure to carry a 9. cross-body satchel to safely secure your belongings, which should include a 10. passport cover and 11. cool camera!
Finally, in terms of footwear, bring a pair of 12. riding boots that you can walk around the city comfortably in while still looking très chic! xoRZ
