We ask her how to travel in style
HOW CAN WE STOP OVER-
PACKING FOR HOLIDAYS?
Planning is the key. People
typically wear about half of what
they pack. Try packing versatile
pieces that can be mixed and
matched to create fresh looks.
WHAT FABRICS TRAVEL WELL?
Jersey is lightweight, comfortable,
stylish, and when packed
correctly will stay crease-free.
Denim is always crease-free and
stylish. Go with dark-wash jeans
in a classic cut.
YOUR PET TRAVEL
FASHION PEEVE?
Nothing says “not only am I on
vacation but my wardrobe is too”
like a tracksuit. If you’re seeking
comfort, go with a nice pair of
leggings paired with a pullover
sweater or a cashmere wrap.
Finish the look with practical and
stylish accessories.
WHAT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR
GOING FROM DAY TO NIGHT?
A statement necklace — it can
take a day dress into the evening
and dress up jeans and a top.
The same can be achieved with
a scarf. And always pack a
versatile pair of fl ats and heels to
transform an outfi t.
