Join Diane as she shares her Fashion insights and travel tips. In this episode, Diane discusses how to pack stylishly and efficiently for urban travel, specifically for a trip to London.

Why Travel Fashion Matters

Diane just returned from Los Angeles, where she did an interview for CBS about her book “Too Young to Be Old” and discussed her upcoming anthology for Women Thrive. With an invitation to be the keynote speaker at a woman’s forum in London, Diane emphasizes the importance of Packing smartly for a variety of events while maintaining a chic and classy appearance.

Packing Essentials for London

A beige trench coat is Diane’s go-to piece for London. It’s versatile, breathable, and can be worn both on and off the plane. She recommends an unlined trench coat made of cotton canvas for its slim body effect and compatibility with various outfits. Diane suggests Packing two pairs of leggings, one in tan and one in black, and a graphic print trench coat. She plans to alter a wrap dress into a tunic to wear over leggings, which she finds perfect for giving speeches or casual outings. Crew neck tanks, primarily cotton but some rayon, are a must for easy washing and quick drying. Diane also packs turtlenecks in black and ivory, which look great under a trench coat and paired with a classic status scarf.

Accessories and Footwear

Two statement scarves, one emphasizing black and ivory and another with shades of brown, add a touch of elegance. Diane’s travel bag from Anya Hindmarch, with multiple compartments for easy access, and a gold metallic clutch for evenings, complete her accessory list. Diane recommends a status gold horse bit loafer and a fashionable sneaker. For a sophisticated urban look, she suggests the Adidas sneaker or a two-tone canvas sneaker from Toteme.

Fashion Tips for Urban Travel

Diane highlights the importance of looking stylish and polished in urban environments like London, Paris, Milan, and Zurich. She suggests Packing a structured blazer, preferably in beige, and wearing classic European outfits that mix and match easily. Diane’s approach to travel Fashion is all about practicality without sacrificing style. She emphasizes the need for pieces that are easy to pack, versatile, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
