We love ending the year on a high note and escaping on a quick end-of-year getaway. Winter breaks are usually shorter so we’re more conscious of packing lighter. This is harder in the colder months since clothes are bulkier, boots are bigger and we generally need more layers.
But don’t worry, we’ve figured it all out for you with a little smart packing from MUJI. The Japanese brand is renowned for their high-quality items that are very practical. We also love using these products all year round whether we’re traveling or staying put.
It’s all about the layers
The secret to staying warm is layering up correctly. Breathable cottons and linen are great for layering without feeling too stuffy. And we love MUJI’s style aesthetic. You can easily mix and match pieces together while still looking and feeling stylish. The Autumn/Winter 2022 collection features a fabulous and lightweight puffer jacket that will pack small but keep you warm as you discover new cities. Additionally, the casual yet smart button up shirts can take you all around the city feeling comfortable and looking stylish.
It has, and can fit in pockets
Our absolute favorite item from this season’s collection is the pocketable vest. It packs up into a small pouch that can fit in your pocket; we think this is some kind of sorcery. Once you’ve taken it out though you have a very cozy vest that keeps you warm. When you’re done you can pack it up again without worrying about having to carry it around.
Case closed!
Packing is an art. There are experts out there who will tell you that the way to do it is by creating weird origami while you fold, but we’ve discovered that if you use the packing gusset cases from MUJI, it is much easier. Depending on your destination you could pack one per day or use them to organize your belongings. Whatever you decide, they will help keep your suitcase and hotel room tidy and make your life much easier.
Roll with it
All suitcases look similar on the outside, but experience has taught us that not all suitcases are made the same; a good quality suitcase can make your trip much smoother. MUJI’s suitcases come in different sizes, with the best wheels that help you whizz around any airport or city, and are light, leaving more weight for your luggage and souvenirs.
