Hello, winter packing conundrums! If you’re a light packer like me, winter weather, and the winter clothing and gear it necessitates, is not your friend. While I love traveling in winter (it usually involves skiing), I also want to travel carry-on only.

Enter PrAna’s Ginger Top. I am so in love with this lightweight sweater. Why? The Ginger combines my favorite things: comfort, practicality, and a touch of elegance.
When I want to bring my Ginger top on a trip, I don’t have to make hard choices. You know the type: do I bring this big, heavy sweater I love, or do I bring the boots I must have for the snow?
Or, do I wear this bulky shirt, just so I’ll have room for that other shirt I’ll need when I spill something on myself?
The Ginger is light enough that I can comfortably wear it over a tee on the airplane, or roll it into one of my packing cubes with room to spare.
When I travel, I need my clothes to multi-task.
The Ginger looks great when dressed up. It has a really pretty cowl neckline and an asymmetrical hem that looks both stylish and flattering.
I don’t need to pair it with a dressy scarf, because the neckline alone looks dressy. Add a necklace, and you’re good to go.
The material is light enough that you don’t feel bulky when wearing the Ginger to dinner out or to a show when you travel, but it will also look good layered during the day with a puffy jacket or vest.
I can’t describe how flattering the Ginger is.
I think it’s the asymmetrical hem that does it, but even on travel days when I feel less than elegant, it makes me look really pulled together.
And when I feel stylish, I gain confidence.
It’s made of organic cotton and polyester, for an almost heathered look. As noted above, the sweater is thin, so you don’t overheat in it at all. And as with everything PrAna, the Ginger is made to endure season after season, so it will be in your closet (and suitcase) for years to come.

Pick up the Ginger in one of three beautiful, neutral colors: black (which is almost graphite), winter (a creamy white), and deep marsala (a rich rose).
It’s $79, which is a great value for a top that will be in your travel wear ‘toolbox’ for years. Look for it on Amazon as well.
