The Tamesis
Whether it’s a long flight or a weekend jaunt, packing for any trip requires a little strategy and plenty of planning. You have limited space to navigate and weather changes (not to mention cabin air conditioning); of course, you want to stay comfortable through it all. We’re here to debate on behalf of a key piece in your travel wardrobe: the cardigan. A cross between a wrap and a jumper, this travel cardigan is practical and versatile and will slip easily into your handbag so you’ll be glad you remembered to bring it.
The key word here is ease. It’s easy to throw a cardigan over your shoulders or tie it around your waist while you’re driving miles through the airport terminal. Once you’re in your seat and ready for takeoff, you can relax with ease. What about after arriving at your destination? Easily coordinates with all the other looks in your suitcase. This is a no-brainer for cooler destinations, but even on a tropical vacation, a lightweight layer can come in handy on chilly nights—choose light or bright shades, and choose cashmere or cotton over wool to suit the climate.
