After posting my favorite winter getaways in the Pacific Northwest, I had dozens of you ask me to follow up with a “what to pack” guide! So, based on trips I’m either planning or have taken in the past, I compiled my packing essentials for a winter getaway to help you make sure you don’t miss out on bringing anything important! Like always, I’ve linked everything for you below the photos!
Obviously, “winter” means something a little different depending on your destination—some places have a more mild winter (maybe with no snow in sight), while some have below freezing, icy conditions. It’s a great idea to check the projected weather forecast before going, but it’s always better to be prepared than freezing!
HEAVY COAST + DOWN JACKETS
A heavy jacket is an obvious essential for any winter trip! Down jackets are also amazing and they keep you toasty warm! If you’re traveling light, sure to pack a “packable down” because they scrunch up to be very compact.
WINTER OUTFITS
I adore oversized, comfy sweaters during the winter months but for a winter trip, they are especially great for layering and lounging. You can pair an oversized sweater with just about anything and dress it up or down!
LAYERS
The key to staying warm is layering! I bring some basic long sleeves and a comfy hoodie to add if keeping it casual, or sitting by the fire at night. Throwing in a button down shirt can also add an extra layer of warmth and goes with everything!
BOOTS + BOOTIES
Boot season is one of my favorites!! There are tons of styles of boots, but keep in mind to try and bring two different pairs. One that is waterproof for snow and slush, or rain, and another pair for going out to dinner or heading to the lodge!
Last, but not least, don’t forget your Swimsuit! Two words: hot tubs. Your destination may have an awesome spa or hot tub you can lounge in, so come prepared!
As always travel safely!
