A winter vacation is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays — especially when you’re heading someplace where you don’t have to pack a heavy coat. Not only does a getaway provide a break from the chilly temperatures back home, but a chance to experiment with daytime and evening looks that you’d otherwise have to wait months to wear.
Before you take off, curate a travel wardrobe that exudes confidence and style. At Marshalls, find travel-friendly fashion treasures — think airport-ready leisurewear, versatile separates, and statement dresses with unique details — all from the hottest brands at amazing prices.
TZR Executive Beauty Director Faith Xue’s passport is filled with stamps from far-off places, so there’s really no one better to help you figure out what to pack. With her fashion-savvy eye, Xue knows how to balance comfort with impeccable style, and Marshalls makes it easy to find everything on her jet-set-ready mood board.
Ahead, Xue shares three of her favorite getaway looks, from cozy, travel day clothing to the perfect golden-hour ‘fit.
Jet-Set Minimalist
Navigating hectic airport lines and then sitting on a plane for hours calls for serious comfort — but you want to look good no matter the altitude. “When I’m traveling, comfort is my number-one priority — but I also don’t want to look like a total slob,” Xue confesses. It’s all about the magic of layering for Xue, and Marshalls is the place for finding high-quality fabrics in versatile silhouettes. Instead of regular leggings that are too thin for chilly in-flight temperatures, she opts for a more stylish, warmer alternative, like a pair of rib-knit flares crafted from a cashmere blend. “A trench is the best jacket for traveling, too — lightweight enough to wear on a flight and instantly makes you look chic and put together,” she says.
Effortless Separates
For the ultimate stylish and stress-free getaway, pack pieces that will optimize your travel wardrobe. Marshalls makes this easy by offering an array of designer separates that are effortless to mix and match. “I love wearing breezy fabrics when I’m on vacation,” says Xue. “A strapless top in a pop of sage green just screams winter vacation, and linen shorts are a warm-weather staple that goes with everything.”
Don’t underestimate the power of a good piece of jewelry, as it can be just the thing to take an understated outfit to the next level. “I keep accessories simple but statement-making, like chunky bracelets or a sleek gold choker,” says Xue.
Ruched Details
Vacation nights are the time to go bold with your look. Think colorful pieces with unique patterns that will make heads turn wherever you go. “For a nighttime look when I’m on vacation, I love a statement mini dress that I can throw on instantly,” says Xue. At Marshalls, you can find the perfect going-out look from one of your favorite designers — and at an amazing price, just like this ruched orange and blue mini dress with playful side ties. “Pairing it with a strappy nude heel with a hint of sparkle makes it feel perfect for a night out dancing — or just lounging by the beach.”
As for accessories, Xue opted for a sculptural bracelet, as well as a clutch in a contrasting color, as it “feels more elevated than a shoulder bag.” (One requirement: It needs to be roomy enough to fit all of her evening essentials — phone, wallet, blotting sheets, lipstick, and mirror.)
Wherever your winter holiday takes you, find your dream getaway looks at Marshalls. Your outfits will be as special as the memories you make.
