Whether facing a long-haul flight or just a weekend retreat a quick jaunt away, packing for any trip requires a little bit of strategy and plenty of planning. You have limited space and weather changes (not to mention cabin air conditioning) to navigate; of course, you want to stay comfy through it all. We’re here to argue on behalf of one key player in your travel wardrobe: the cardigan. Occupying the sweet spot between a wrap scarf and a full pullover, the travel cardigan is practical and versatile, an easy layer to toss in your tote bag that you’ll be glad you remembered to bring.
The keyword here is ease. A cardigan is easy to throw over your shoulders or tie around your waist as you navigate miles of airport terminal. It’s easy to cozy up in once you’re in your seat and ready for takeoff. And once you’re at your destination? Easy to style with all of the other looks in your suitcase. It’s a no-brainer for cooler destinations, but even on tropical getaways a lighter-weight piece will come in handy on chilly nights—opt for pale colors or bright hues, and choose cashmere or cotton over wool to navigate the climate.
