What to Pack for Europe’s Christmas Markets Mulled wine, cobblestoned squares, twinkling lights, and cozy nights bundled up against the chill, this 8-outfit travel capsule wardrobe was created with Europe’s festive November and December weather in mind. Expect daytime highs in the upper-30s °F to mid-40s °F (3–7 °C), dipping near freezing after dark. You’ll want layers that keep you warm outdoors but still look chic in cafés and museums. Every piece here was chosen to mix warmth, practicality, and polish, ideal for wandering Christmas markets by day and enjoying candlelit dinners by night. ⭐️ Outerwear: a waterproof parka and lightweight down vest for adjustable layering ⭐️ Insulation: cozy fleece and four warm sweaters ⭐️ Bottoms: dark denim and soft corduroy for texture and versatility ⭐️ Footwear: waterproof boots and sneakers made for all-day exploring ⭐️ Accessories: two scarves, a beanie, and tech-friendly gloves — all in rich winter tones Each piece layers effortlessly for changing temps, creating 8+ cozy, carry-on-friendly outfits you can wear straight from the markets to dinner reservations. ⭐️ My travel capsules are crafted with care from research, personal travel experience, and my own style preferences. I try to get it right every time — but I can’t always predict surprise weather or your exact itinerary. Take what works, leave what doesn’t, and make it your own. These capsules are intended to be fun starting points, not packing gospel. Hi! I’m Haley, and I created Carry-On Couture to help you curate functional AND beautiful travel capsule wardrobes specifically designed for carry-on travel. LTKOver40 LTKTravel
