Where/Wear: The Holiday Packing Guide for Every Getaway

Whether you’re seeking sun, sand, or freshly fallen snow, find just the right pieces to pack for your holiday getaway. Here, our guides for beach vacations, ski trips, city sight-seeing, and desert retreats (because our luxe fabrics and easy layers work everywhere).

Destination: Palm Beach, Florida

Wear:
A lightweight coat (layered with cashmere) is perfect for the plane, then slip it on over a linen shirt for breezy dinners beachside.

Where:
Stay at the famously chic Colony Hotel, also home to coffee and cocktail spot The Living Room. For days off the sand, take a short drive to West Palm Beach to visit the Norton Museum of Art.

Destination: Aspen, Colorado

Wear:
An ultra-chic look for après ski: a rib-knit turtleneck, velveteen jeans, and a cozy puffer with a removable faux-fur vest.

Where
Après at the iconic ski-in ski-out Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro with its Alps-inspired cuisine. Then off the slopes, find a new fireside read at Explore Booksellers.

Destination: New York City, New York

Wear:
Put a luxurious spin on New York’s all-black uniform with hints of glimmering gold and flourishes of faux fur.

Where:
If there’s someone who knows how to holiday in NYC, it’s Barbara McLaughlin. Stop by some of her favorite spots, like John Derian design shop and gourmet food store William Poll. (And don’t miss the blocks of Christmas trees lighting up Park Avenue.)

Destination: Palm Springs, California

Wear:
Pack mix-and-match neutrals and easy layers for the desert’s warm days and chillier nights.

Where:
Take a page from tastemaker Mary Everard’s Palm Springs itinerary. Book a luxurious stay at the Parker, and do a little vintage shopping at The Fine Art of Design.
