What we do share, though, is our sense of style, which for her has been harder to navigate since so few brands cater to petite portions. But as a professional fashion writer (and the eldest daughter), it has become my mission to track down petite clothes my mom can feel good about wearing on the go, without feeling swallowed in a chunky knit.
Winter is the season of layering, and there's no piece better suited for the job than a good turtleneck. The timeless style staple is a sartorial chameleon, and it looks just as perfect on its own as it does layered beneath a chunky knit or fuzzy vest. If you haven't been giving your basics collection the TLC it deserves, now's your chance as we've uncovered a trove of well-made turtlenecks under $50 at Amazon that will become the cornerstone of your winter travel wardrobe.
I live in Western Montana in the Rocky Mountains, and when I say that it can get pretty cold in the winter, I mean that a few years ago it got so cold that my interior doorknobs got covered in frost. If I want to enjoy nature at all for the colder 6 months of the year, I have to be dressed correctly. Hell, it can even be dangerous not to have the right gear on when you go outside here.
Packing for a winter trip is its own kind of art - finding pieces that are warm, stylish, and suitcase-friendly without overthinking every outfit. So to streamline the process (and make dressing on-the-go a whole lot easier), I tapped personal stylist Samantha Dawn to build the ultimate travel capsule wardrobe for cold-weather destinations. We focused on pieces that look chic, feel cozy, and won't blow your budget. Even better, every single pick is under $100 at Amazon, proving that smart winter fashion doesn't have to come with a luxe price tag.
Some style stars occasionally flirt with the exposed-undies trend, rocking them at red carpet events or whenever the temperature is appropriate. But there are a handful are hardcore fans of the style who take their barely there ensembles to all sorts of climes. One such aficionado is Emily Ratajkowski, who has been rocking the undergarment-forward trend everywhere, including an utterly unexpected location: a wintry destination.
