Got trips? We've got packing tips. We've partnered with Eddie Bauer to show you how the style pros prepare for a cold-weather adventure.
Imagine this: a rugged landscape of rolling hills in the distance, a woodland bursting with foliage, the smell of fresh pine needles, and the sound of crunchy leaves underfoot. If that doesn't make you want to immediately trade bustling city noises for quiet trees and mountains, Whitney Port and Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt might convince you. Despite their busy lives, the two friends will never turn down a chance to skip town together for a few days — especially when outdoor adventure is involved.
The pair recently spent the weekend in the mountainous city of Ojai, CA, with Eddie Bauer, and after living vicariously through their Instagram posts, we're about ready to indulge in an outdoor adventure ourselves. And thanks to their guidance, we know exactly what to pack. Ahead, discover everything Whitney and Katherine lived in during their two-day retreat.
1 Fireside Plush Full-Zip Mock-Neck
A warm and versatile outerwear piece is key for weekend trips. The right pick will save you valuable luggage space and work well with everything else you've packed. Whitney likes the Fireside Plush Full-Zip Mock-Neck ($99) for its cozy factor, but even more for its transitional ability. You can wear it to hike, do yoga, explore a town, or relax at home.
2 Movement High Rise Leggings
From long car rides to exercise, a pair of black Movement High Rise Leggings ($75) will get you through it all. These wick moisture, and Katherine notes that they're also insanely comfortable and flattering.
3 Cabin Faux Fur Pom Beanie
Whitney loves rounding out a cold-weather look with a cute beanie. A Cabin Faux Fur Pom Beanie ($35) in a neutral color will finish any outfit with a cozy-cool vibe.
4 Cairn Mid Hiking Boot
Why pack separate sneakers, hiking shoes, and rain boots when you can just pack these Cairn Mid hiking boots ($180) instead? Not only are they comfortable and lightweight, they're also weather-protected and supportive, with traction for varied terrain.
5 Bygone 25 Pack
If you're planning on doing some daytime excursions, a durable and spacious backpack is an essential. Use this Bygone 25 Pack ($80) to carry your laptop and toiletries as you head out of town, then pack it with water, snacks, and other necessities for a day trip.
6 Stine's Favorite Waffle Sleep Shirt and Pant
Pajamas are easy to overlook when packing, but you'll never regret bringing along something carefully considered rather than something thrown in your luggage as an afterthought. The Stine's Favorite Waffle Sleep Shirt ($55) and matching Stine's Favorite Waffle Sleep Pant ($50) are cozy, comfy, and super soft — you'll want to live in them even when you're not sleeping.
7 Shearling Boot Slipper
Just because you're staying in a hotel or a rented cabin, doesn't mean you can't bring a little piece of home with you. And if anything can instantly help you feel warm and cozy in a foreign setting, it's definitely a pair of Shearling Boot Slippers ($130). These are breathable and moisture-wicking to help regulate your feet's temperature — no sweaty feet here!
8 Tofino Hybrid Fleece Parka
As an alternative outerwear option, Whitney also likes the Tofino Hybrid Fleece Parka ($169). Just like the Fireside Plush Full-Zip Mock-Neck, this parka easily pairs with other pieces and can be worn in a variety of situations. On top of that, it features a hood and a water-repellent, insulated upper to keep you extra warm.
