TRAVEL STYLE
What to wear in transit?
Transit style is all about comfort and layering so when I am flying I opt for beautiful soft fabrics like cashmere, cotton and linen. For this trip I will style my Crew sweater from Chinti & Parker with our new Veronica Beard Parineti Dickey Jacket and FRAME Le Palazzo jeans. Cosi scarves are my go-to for an extra layer that packs light in your carry-on.
