Make the transition from chilly temps to tropical paradise seamless with these must-have travel essentials, ensuring you stay comfortable, stylish, and stress-free on your honeymoon getaway.
Honeymoons feel even more like an escape when you’re running away from the bleak cold to find the sunshine again! Don’t let yourself get bogged down with unnecessary layers, cold weather accessories, or bulky coats that you won’t need once you arrive.
We rounded up some of our best finds for successful layering and comfortable travel as you leave behind the ice and snow and step into the sand and sea!
Packable Jacket for Layering, $198 by Foreign Fare
This sleek, sexy jacket from Foreignfare will keep you warm in the airport without the bulk of a big coat or sweater. It’s the perfect design for stylish cold-to-warm weather layering. We love the structured blazer look, and the intentional pockets perfect for travelers. We also love this stunning blazer!
Hard as it may be to believe, sunshine still exists and when you land you’ll want a hat to protect your face. This foldable fedora keeps its shape in your suitcase and is perfect for a carry-on.
Wildfang Coveralls, $178 from Wildfang
These sleeveless Wildfang coveralls are absolutely perfect for transitioning into hot climates. Pair them with a jacket for the flight, then roll the cuffs when you land and you’re ready to step out into warmer temps. For an added bonus, they’ll look cute with sneakers and sandals!
Blanket Scarf with Pocket, $44 from Etsy
While you won’t need a full winter scarf on the beach, this lighter weight blanket scarf can double as sun protection, or a light layer in the evening. Best of all for travelers, there’s a hidden pocket to stash hotel keys, or cash.
Western Rise Merino Button Down, $128 by Western Rise
For a lot of people, “merino wool” means heavy sweaters—not so with this Western Rise Merino Button Down. The manufacturers promise this stylish shirt is wrinkle free, packable, odor resistant, and moisture wicking—so basically you’ll stay comfortable the whole flight, and when you arrive you won’t be a smelly, sweaty mess.
Sherpa Vest, $99 from Toad & Co.
If you’re leaving your coat behind, but want to stay cozy on the flight, this sherpa vest makes a great top layer. Warm enough to keep you comfortable, but small enough to pack away this sustainably-made vest is perfect.
Cozy Cardigan, $150 by Banana Republic
A comfortable, knit cardigan is about as cozy of a top layer as you can ask for when traveling toward warmer weather. We love this French Terry option from Banana Republic, which would look great with jeans, chinos, or joggers, and will pack away easily to store until you need it again.
Comfortable Flannel, $78 from Peau de Loup
The golden rule of traveling from cold to hot is dressing in layers and we love this soft button down from Peau de Loup. Made from upcycled materials, and available in so many cute colors this would be perfect over a tank top.
Cali Tote, $150 from Stephanie Keyser Designs
This chic tote by Stephanie Keyser effortlessly takes you from plane to beach. The roomy interior allows space for all your travel necessities while the lightweight, waterproof design makes it a perfect beach bag.
Athleta Track Pant Set: pants $119, jacket $129
If comfort is your top priority, this Athleta track suit is it. Remove the jacket as you step outside into the warm air and you’re ready to get in the sun and start exploring.
Chic Joggers, $48 by Banana Republic
Joggers are the perfect cold-to-warm transition travel pants. They’re comfortable, versatile, and look great with shoes and sandals alike. These cargo joggers from Bannana Republic have the comfort of pajamas for a long flight, without actually looking like you just rolled out of bed.
Casual Knit Blazer, $109 from Dapper Boi
Dapper Boi is one of our favorite gender-neutral clothing lines and their Casual Knit Blazer is comfortable, soft, and versatile. This would be perfect for staying warm on the flight, easy to pack away when you land, and pull pack out if the weather dips down.
Packable Down Coat, $173 on REI
If you’re leaving a place with bitter cold temps, or heading someplace that gets cold when the sun goes down, consider ditching your heavy winter coat in favor of packable down. Best of all, it folds up into a small pocket to use as a pillow for long flights or layovers. At a lower price point, this Spyder puffer jacket is another great choice.
Crew Neck Base Layer, $27 by Androgynous Fox
There’s nothing basic about this basic crew neck shirt from Androgynous Fox. When picking a bottom layer, it’s important find something that’s comfortable enough for hours on a plane, will look great with an outer layer, and will hold up well enough to wear out of the airport and onto a patio bar.
Packable Sandals, $70 by Bedrock
If you’re dying to ditch your socks the minute you land, but want to travel light, check out these packable camp sandals from Bedrock Sandals. Small and lightweight, they fit in a small side pocket and are ready to slip on the minute you see sand.
Dance Studio Midrise Pant, $118 by Lululemon
You danced and partied like crazy at your wedding, and now you need comfort and relaxation heading to your sunny honeymoon. These Lululemon drawstring pants are the perfect fit—cute, comfortable, and best of all you can cinch near the ankles to create a different look as you trade in socks for sandals, or walk in the water.
