Winter Travel Essentials

Travel in the winter is far more difficult than in warmer months. In the summer you can throw a few swim trunks and tee shirts in a bag and be off but in the winter you’ve got to account for the weather and any given situation where it might interfere with your activities. Here are a few winter travel essentials that can help ease the pain of sloshing around during the cooler months:

Wheelmen & Co. Heritage Duffle

Whether you’re only traveling for the weekend or your headed off for a longer trip, every guy can find a use for a good duffle bag. The Wheelmen & Co. Heritage Duffle is made of rugged cotton duck canvas and features a water-resistant oiled leather bottom, military-grade rubber panelling, and waterproof zippers. Safe to say that no moisture is getting inside this bad boy. Plus, in addition to the large main compartment it has an external shoe pocket, to keep your shoes separate from your clothes. Genius!

Wool Cashmere Topcoat in Camel

Topcoats are the must-have outerwear piece of 2014 and you can find them at all price points. A nice black or charcoal is always classic but this is the year of camel so go beige and pick up this J.Crew version for less than $500.

Ulterior Motive Nylon Hexagon Card Case

When travelling you don’t want to end up hauling around a bunch of receipts or unnecessary items in your wallet–mine is always full of junk. Streamline your travel with a nice slim card case to carry your ID, credit cards and some cash–on the essentials. This Ulterior Motive case has five pockets for keeping all your important belongings close at hand and has just the right amount of detail to show off when you pull it out of your pocket.

Wide Brim Fedora

A nice hat is great when traveling as it can completely transform a look. Besides, wide brim hats are 100% on trend right now. In Southern California you don’t find a whole lot of need for a wide brim hat, but I wanted to pick one up because I love the look so much. I recently picked this one up at Target for $17 which is a great way to try out a trend before fully committing.

Leather Chelsea Boots

A great boot works so well when traveling in the fall/winter because they can be worn casually or dressed up depending on what the occasion calls for. A nice Chelsea boot can mix well with a multitude of outfits and can be packed easier than bringing both a casual boot and a dress boot.

Soxfords Mustopher Jones (Movember) Socks

I’m always afraid that I’m not going to bring enough socks so I always pack an extra pair or two. Stock up on these Soxfords socks because during the month of November, in honor in Movember, Soxfords will donate 20% of the sale of each of their popular Mustohpher Jones socks to men’s health causes.

Wool Scarf 

I know this doesn’t need to be said but for those who don’t get out much in the winter a scarf is definitely an essential. They not only keep your neck warm but is perhaps the number one way to add a stylish pop to a winter outfit. I personally love this ikat print one:
