Packable, Wrinkle-resistant Fall Coats That Will Look Just As Good When You Land
Something we take for granted while traveling during the summer months is how little we actually have to pack. From swimwear and cotton dresses to light sweaters, we avoid the burden of packing the heavier layers or having to hand-carry them aboard our flights.
As the seasons change and temperatures begin to drop, however, we’re tasked with the challenge of finding that perfect fall coat that is both stylish and functional for travel. While jackets like Uniqlo’s Ultra Light Down are our perpetual solve for function, what about a coat that serves just as much on style — the one you take straight from the plane to a business meeting or to dinner at London’s newest restaurant?
