Travel Day 




The most difficult thing about traveling to different climates this time of year is knowing what to wear while traveling, especially if you are going to a place with a climate change.  I know that for my teammates and I we always have this problem because we tend to travel out West for preseason tournaments.  I also experience this when I go home during winter break because when I leave Peoria it could be 10 degrees but land in San Diego and it's 70 and sunny.  However, I have found some tips that can prevent you from being too hot or too cold in on climate, and be a little more comfortable. 

Layers being one of the biggest ones.  When going from a colder climate or frozen tundra if you live in the midwest, to a warmer climate like Arizona, wearing layers that can be easily taken off during the plane ride or in the bathroom at the airport allow you to adjust your clothing towards how cold or hot you are.  Some easy layering pieces like cardigans and scarves are both great at keeping you warm but also easy to take off and store in your carry on.

Another travel tip when going to a place with a completely different climate is, unless there is a place where you are going to do laundry pack an outfit for the trip back.  However, if you do plan on doing laundry during your trip I would suggest wearing the outfit you wore there that way you will have freed up space for anything else you may need.  

Shoes that are best when changing climates in the winter would n my opinion would be combat boots or riding boots.  While they are both stylish and in season in any climate they are also very easy to take off for the airport security lines.  Both styles of boots are in season in any climate that you go to and can be worn with a multitude of outfits.

I hope that some of these tips can help you when the next time your traveling.  If you have any other tips or tricks comment below!

  1. I am all about layering! My closet is filled with items that can be mixed and matched together for all occasions and temperatures. I must say, with this weather we're having in Peoria it's hard to know what to wear. It's only 40 degrees, but since it's been do cold lately that I found myself not even wearing a coat today in this heat wave.
