travel uniform gal on the go

Happy Cyber Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. While going back to reality after the holiday is never fun, at least there are some great sales happening online to ease the pain a bit, right? Some of my favorites include:

For today's gift guide, I wanted to focus on the "travel uniform" (essentially, those cozy staples every gal-on-the-go should have). I've learned that comfort + functionality is the perfect combination for travel days, and I've rounded up some of my favorite pieces that you can benefit from (some of them still included in these Cyber Monday sales!)

 

ponchos + wraps

 

CLASSIC ALPACA CAPE: CUYANA

 

I love Cuyana and I love a good poncho to wrap up in on a travel day. Combine those two factors and this Classic Alpaca Cape is pretty much a perfect staple for any traveler. 

 

 

 

CASHMERE OVERSIZED SCARF WRAP

I've said dozens of times before that cashmere is one of my favorite fabrics for travel. It's soft + warm, but also lightweight, so it's perfect to wrap up in. This cashmere oversized scarf wrap from Macy's is marked down significantly for Cyber Monday. 

 

 

 

oversized thermal scarf

Are you picking up on my love for oversized scarves and wraps yet? There's really nothing better (or more chic) than wrapping up in a big comfy piece like this oversized thermal scarf from Shopbop. This textile offers a bit of variety from cashmere if you're wanting to mix it up. 

 

 

 

RIBBED CASHMERE MUFFLER

RIBBED CASHMERE MUFFLER

If you're wanting to stick with cashmere but want a piece that's a bit smaller or less overwhelming than some of my options above, you'll love this ribbed cashmere muffler from Nordstrom

 

 

 

OMBRÉ ALPACA SERAPE WRAP

Another great alpaca poncho, this ombré option from Nordsrom offers something a bit more interesting than a solid print. I also love that it combines two of my favorite neutrals: camel + grey. 

 

 

CARDIGANS + LIGHTWEIGHT JACKETS

 

OPEN FRONT LONG CASHMERE CARDIGAN

Again with the cashmere, this long open front cardigan from Nordstrom is the ultimate chic + cozy option to wrap up in a travel day. 

 

LEITH WAFFLE KNIT CARDIGAN

While cashmere is ideal, I realize it can be a bit on the expensive side. If you want something that's still long + cozy but more affordable, this Leith Waffle Knit Cardigan from Nordstrom is a great find. 

 

 

 

TRAVELER WRAP JACKET

Stay stylish while keeping cozy in this French terry hoodie from Nordstrom. It's fashioned with a draped open front, leather cuffs and smart thumbholes to keep your hands warm. Lightweight jackets like this are clutch while traveling because they're not too bulky, but still help keep you at an ideal temperature. 

 

 

comfortable jeans or leggings

Whatever pants you choose to wear on a travel day should be comfortable. If you opt for jeans, go with a boyfriend pair like these (or these). I tend to wear black leggings like these (or these) because they're a bit more comfortable but still look chic and can be styled the same way. 

 

 

 

comfortable chic footwear 

I've shared these shoes on previous blogs, but I love the simplicity of these lifestyle / athletic shoes. Not only are the comfortable, but they pair well with both workout clothes and everyday street style. 

So there you have it! chic cozy neutrals that are comfortable are what you want on travel days (although to be honest, I want these everyday really...)  I hope you found this to be helpful and that you can score some travel staples of your own with these Cyber Monday sales!  And in case you missed it, be sure to check out my other posts from this weekend- lots of those items are still on sale too!
