WINTER FASHION FOR TRAVEL

Smartgrannie2003 — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 11:47:03 GMT

Over the years, I've traveled yearly to warm climate during the winter months and know many others who also do. I wish Isaac Mizrahi, Kim Gravel and certain other designers would create and present on QVC a "Resort Wear" line of clothing to present in the early weeks of winter. I feel is it an untapped market! We could all order new summer clothes to enhance what we already own. Some of us like to separate our winter clothes from summer in early fall and pack summer things away. It would be helpful, fun, and timely to order a few new 'resort wear' items to pump up our wardrobe. New bathing suits, coverups, beautiful lounge wear would be lovely if it arrived in early January. Maybe I am crazy??? Thoughts??

I love the idea. I travel to warmer climates in January and would love to purchase some new things for my trip. I have to rotate out my seasonal clothes, and my off-season stuff is stored in a storage unit. Last year I was running back and forth to storage trying to pull everything together at Christmas time, which was a hassle. This year I packed a huge box of possible clothing and have it set aside. I still need to pick up some things and will be shopping for things to fill in.

@Smartgrannie2003 Not crazy at all - In addition to all those who travel to find warmth and sun, millions of us live here year-round.

@Smartgrannie2003 You're not crazy.

But every piece of fashion you mention is what QVC already shows and has in their inventory. Not to mention the never-ending scenarios and personal stories of -- 1) wear that to the beach as a cover-up, 2) wear this to the ski cabin, 3) wear that traveling to that resort now that we're getting out there..

There's nothing new to that. It's just that the shopper needs to buy the whatever it is, and put the outfits together.

I've been changing out my wardrobe twice a year for decades. I purchase my clothes with all scenarios in mind. I know exactly what to pull out for "resort" travelling."

I love the idea of QVC presenting clothes for HOT weather.

You know they never feature it.

I live in Arizona and you can buy that stuff pretty much all year. Bathing suits show up in January along with other warm weather clothes but you can still find stuff all year long. So if you are traveling here it's available anytime of the year. Plus I don't think we do much of what you would call resort wear. Shorts, tees, jeans are the norm. We don't do fancy.

That is a huge assumption.

@Smartgrannie2003 ...........I dont find much on Q that is what I consider true winter wear. IMO what they show are spring and fall weight items. I dont consider terry cloth sweatshirts winter wear for example. This has me shopping elsewhere for winter weight clothes.

But I think resort wear that you want may be a good option for many.

I don't know if that's really necessary. While I get what you are saying I feel l can just shop in my closet for any climate. For instance we just returned from a river boat cruise in Portugal where the weather was quite warm, mid 70's to low 80's daily. Returned home for this week then traveling again on Sunday up to Canada where it will be on the chilly side.

Just pack what is needed for your destination.

Sorry to sound snotty, I do own enough clothing for an army, LOL.

Macy's always had a "resort wear" section online but haven't for a few years.

My husband and I always went to Florida every March and it was nice shopping from that section.

I'm delighted to be rid of hot weather and am not in the mood to see summer clothing. Buy it when you get to Florida or wherever. QVC has plenty of leftover summer clothing currently in inventory.

I totally understand wanting to see resort clothing for a winter trip. When my hubby and I used to go on a winter vacation I always wanted to buy some new items. The clothing I had from previous summer just didn't seem "good" enough or they were well worn etc. It usually meant a trip to the mall or downtown to try on clothing. These days, much easier to find resort clothing on line from many sources.

How far in advance do you know you will be traveling? QVC has tons of clothes that could go year round, but I often find myself buying things with the idea that this is what I'm going to be taking with me on my winter trip. I even get to wear it a couple of times before I go; sometimes I realize I don't want to take it after all.

Shoes are a good example, better not to have any big surprises.

Never is a very strong word, and I don't think it applies here.

When we take a winter vacation, I just shop my summer closet. I don't buy new clothes for a two week vacation.

Years ago, QVC did have “resort wear”. I think it was in the early 2000s.

There was a brand I recall called “Club Paradise.” I still have one of the “Hawaiian” shirts that was part of a 2 piece set.

We usually take a January vacation. This year it will be a cruise. When I pack away my summer clothes I designate a box and label it "vacation." That way I have most of my cruise clothing separated and ready.
