Whether you’re packing for a weekend with the girls or heading off for a romantic getaway, here’s what you should pack to face the cold!
Queenstown with Nili Lotan
The alpine climate in New Zealand’s most picturesque destination can be unforgiving, requiring the perfect balance of practical basics for sightseeing and statement pieces to impress on a night out.Smart casual separates that you can dress up with an eye-catching coat, a statement scarf and hat are the way to go. Combat the cold in a pair of loose-fitting jeans to hide your thermals and warm socks - no one cuts a better silhouette than New York designer Nili Lotan!
Paired with elegant yet relaxed SOFT GOAT knitwear, this look is perfect to build warm layers you can strip on and off. All that’s left to pack is an elegant blazer you can wear with an evening bag for drinks and dinner, and most importantly, a comfortable pair of boots you can wear all day!
Melbourne with Anine Bing
If Melbourne was a girl, her name would be Anine Bing. Skinny jeans with a blazer, cool boots and a leather jacket - the Danish designer’s collections embody the vibe of the Victorian capital!
Effortlessly cool yet classy, with the subtlest touch of grunge, is the dress code in this city. From the minute you wake up, you’ll be on the go, exploring the laneways, discovering local boutiques and wandering into hidden bars and restaurants. You’ll want to pack outfits and jewellery that can take you from day to night without going back to your hotel - why waste time when Melbourne’s thrill beckons?
Hunter Valley with L’Agence
A few snazzy outfits to wander the charming streets of Hobart and Launceston are a must - think a showstopping jacket, stylish pieces from L’Agence and daring stiletto boots.
Australia is a wine lover’s paradise, best enjoyed with a gaggle of girlfriends. If you’re headed to the southern wineries for a weekend of sips and chats, comfort and style should be your top priority!
You’ll be zipping from one vineyard to the next, hopping in and out of vehicles, and let’s be honest, getting tipsier as the day goes on; you’ll need good footwear and a jacket you can throw on and off - not every cellar door has indoor seating or heaters!
Packing a warm jacket is non-negotiable!
You’ll spend a lot of time rugged up, so let your accessories steal the show - think sunglasses, scarves and handbags you can combine to switch up your look!
Sightseeing on the Great Ocean Road with Add and SPRWMN

Comfortable shoes are a non-negotiable, and as always, experiment with fashionable accessories to add the finishing touch to your outfit!
