I've decided 2023 is the year I'm going to take a break from island getaways and go on a cold vacation: The Alps, here I come—and I have to make sure my packing game is strong. I'm checking off everything I need for a cold climate: ski jacket, cabin shoes, comfy sweats, gloves, and more. And I wouldn't think of leaving my go-to beauty products behind, so I'm packing a condensed skincare routine and a lip gloss (or two). If cold weather is also in your future, take a look at the 30 fashion editor–approved winter must-haves below.
