A Holiday Travel Guide With La Peony Clothing
Holiday travel has a way of reminding us how much we actually need (and how much we don’t). Between crowded airports, unpredictable weather, and the inevitable last-minute packing, the magic of the season often begins with a suitcase we hope will close.
This season, we’re turning to LPC founder Melony Huber, whose approach to packing reflects the philosophy behind every La Peony collection: intentional choices, sustainable fabrics, and silhouettes that elevate without demanding attention. Her recent holiday trip offered the perfect example of how a streamlined capsule that is rooted in ease and quiet luxury, can carry you through multiple days and destinations with effortless polish.
The Core Winter Capsule: Mix-and-Match Staples
The Tina Tank and Lucy Pant in White and The Margaret Mock Neck and Genevieve in Black
A thoughtful winter capsule begins with a foundation of elevated essentials—pieces that layer beautifully, can be dressed up or down, and earn their place in your suitcase through versatility alone.
The Tina Tank often becomes the quiet anchor beneath structured outerwear, while the Lucy Pant offers a long, fluid silhouette that transitions seamlessly from travel days to evening plans.
And for moments that call for a single refined statement, the Margaret Mock Neck Dress delivers understated elegance, while the Teresa Trench adds warmth and structure without bulk.
Fabrics That Travel Beautifully
What you pack matters, but what your pieces are made from matters even more. La Peony’s fabrics are chosen for their softness, sustainability, and their ability to hold their shape through long travel days. Modal fleece and refined cotton blends resist wrinkling, move comfortably with the body, and emerge from a suitcase looking as polished as when they are packed.
Equally meaningful are the details created in partnership with LPC’s artisan community. Pieces like the Oaxaca Pant, with its handwoven cotton trim, and the belts paired with the Teresa Trench are touched by makers whose craft has been passed down through generations. Their work introduces depth and culture to modern silhouettes, bringing stunning textures and stories to even the simplest travel outfit.
What LPC Founder Melony Huber Packed For Her Trip
When LPC founder Melony Huber travels, she edits her wardrobe down to a few pieces that feel beautiful, effortless, and endlessly adaptable.
For the plane, she wears the Megan Long Sleeve with the Lucy Pant, a pairing soft enough for long hours yet polished for the moment she steps off the flight. The Daniela Jacket also layers easily over both, offering warmth without weight.
Once she reaches her destination, her outfits are centered around three silhouettes: the Chantelle Dress, the Margaret Mock Neck, and her Teresa Trench—a coat she brings on almost every trip for its ability to transform even the simplest look.
For the journey home, Melony relies on the Catie Caftan in Black: “What’s so great about this one is I can wear my Daniela Jacket over it, switch the belt, and pair it with sneakers during the day or boots at night. It looks really cute with either,” she says.
In the end, her suitcase holds just a handful of pieces—proof that with the right items, four days of refinement can fit perfectly into a carry-on.
Travel Light, Travel Beautifully
Winter travel becomes infinitely more enjoyable when your suitcase supports your lifestyle rather than complicating it. WIth a capsule grounded in LPC essentials, you’ll find yourself packing with clarity, arriving with confidence, and settling into the season with a renewed sense of ease. Wherever the holidays take you, choose pieces that make the journey feel as beautiful as the destination.
