One of the most significant lessons frequent travelers learn is the importance of packing only what you need. Ask any seasoned, globe-trotting journalist or flight attendant when they last checked a bag on a flight and they’ll probably have trouble remembering.
To that end, we also know the importance of packing items that serve double-duty. One of my favorite packing list hacks is bringing a scarf or wrap that doubles as a blanket while I’m traveling. While this sort of accessory may be de rigueur during the colder months, we’ve all been witness to when plane temperatures dip into Arctic Circle range (and the airlines’ little felt squares don’t do much to mitigate the cold).
Enter: A super soft, oversized wrap. Not only will you feel a little chicer as you stroll through the airport, you’ll be toasty for the duration of the flight, and might just get some shut-eye. From cashmere scarves to chunky knit wraps, read on for 11 blanket scarves worth adding to your travel uniform.
