The colder months are fast approaching. With this comes exciting wardrobe upgrades and, hopefully, some travel time. This might be a challenge if you want to upgrade your wardrobe to suit your winter vacation. However, you are in luck because we designed a helpful guide on reinventing your winter clothing style.
Where Are You Off To?
Before you upgrade your style, consider the places you will be traveling to. And also, how you are traveling. For example, private jet charter offers a lot in terms of comfort, privacy, and convenience. Meaning you can wear comfortable or luxury clothing items. However, when you travel via private jet, you should keep some form of sophistication and luxury.
Less Is More
When upgrading your vacation style for winter, think less is more. We know this is a tough ask, considering you wear more clothing items during the colder months. However, it can be done. Winter travel does not have to be a mission when it comes to what you are going to wear. This part of your trip can be the most exciting. With the less is more approach, you only pack necessary items but add a few statement pieces.
Loungewear
Contrary to widespread belief, loungewear can be fashionable. These are the types of items that give you a valuable upgrade. Whether heading to a ski resort or a mountain break, a great pair of joggers and a hoodie is ideal. Now, you can up the ante by adding key signature pieces to elevate your look. You will be set with a nice sling bag, a pair of statement earrings, and a luxury pair of sneakers.
Velvet Everywhere
Velvet is iconic — it is silky smooth and feels great on your skin. It is also fantastic for those winter-style upgrades. Some velvet outfits will make you stand out if you are heading to a five-star location. One of the more popular winter trends is a velvet wrap dress. Not only does it flatter most silhouettes, but it also comes in several colors to find the perfect dress in your favorite color. Remember, a velvet dress is multifunctional. It can work for your winter escape and other special occasions.
The Blanket Scarf
In the past, the blanket scarf was purely used as an extra layer of clothing to provide much-needed warmth. Today, it is a fashionable item. Luckily, several luxury brands have their version of the blanket scarf, so if you are after a luxe affair, you can find one easily. This item aids one in effortlessly adding an element of style and practicality. For example, if you wear a formal dress to dinner but do not pack a coat to match the dress, a blanket scarf is the perfect solution.

Winter Boots
We are not referring to regular winter boots but those dreamy fur-lined waterproof boots. The high-end options are comfortable yet stylish, so we suggest looking at one of those. One of our favorite winter boots is the ones that are quilted on the outside and fur-lined on the inside — stylish and functional.
Fleece-Lined Parka
Gone are the days when parkas were solely about locking in the heat. Now, they are also about looking good. A wow-worthy parka is made from durable material lined with fleece. Think about it this way: if you are at a ski resort for the holidays, you will want to dress as warmly as possible and look chic at the same time. The solution: elevate your look with a gorgeous fleece-lined parka!
Pleather Wrap Skirt
Faux leather is lovely for the colder months. It also pairs well with most other fabrics, offering more options. With the pleather wrap skirt, two trends are combined. Pair it with a trendy jumper for the days you are heading to brunch. Or to enjoy a leisurely walk when it is not raining or snowing. If you want a winter vacation in a place with little to no snow but more rain, this is an excellent option for that style update.
Sherpa Coat
These are cute yet chic and work well when paired with jeans. We suggest grabbing one of these teddy-inspired jackets for an optimal style upgrade for your winter escape. They can be worn with anything, come with a zipper or buttons, and are right on trend.

Leather Gloves
Our list would only be complete with at least one accessory. Leather gloves scream sophistication. If you are lucky enough to find one that is fleece-lined, then all the better. Leather gloves can be worn with several items of clothing and are often that final addition that gives your outfit the flair it needs. So, if you are heading for the slopes in Switzerland or exploring New York when it snows, you will look stylish while doing it.
A winter getaway provides the perfect opportunity to update your vacation wardrobe. These upgrades should leave you looking stylish. When making these changes, consider the following items. Loungewear you can spice up with signature pieces. Velvet for those classic nights out. The blanket scarf for warmth and luxury. The pleather wrap skirt for its chicness. Winter boots for warmth, comfort, and practicality. The fleece-lined parka for practical flair. The sherpa coat remains fashion-forward, and leather gloves for that touch of sophistication.
