A curated guide with versatile, climate-ready looks from ABFRL for your January getaway.
In India, the new year isn’t just about resolutions; it’s our favourite time to travel. Whether you’re eyeing that refreshing long weekend, a cozy retreat into the mist-covered hills, or a sun-soaked flight toward a tropical horizon, the first trip of 2026 sets the tone for the entire year.
A new year of adventures beckons a style revamp. Whether you’re navigating airport terminals or hiking mountain trails, you should look as good as the destinations you’re visiting make you feel.
To help you skip the “I have nothing to wear” dilemma, we’ve put together some outfit inspiration for every type of trip you crave:
Breezy Fits for A Sunny Beach Getaway
If your 2026 dreams involve the rhythmic sound of waves and the feeling of salt on your skin, your wardrobe should be as light as a sea breeze. Whether you’re heading to the hidden coves of Goa or the turquoise shores of the Maldives, this year’s beach aesthetic is all about effortless, sun-drenched sophistication. We lean into high-quality, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton that keep you cool under the tropical sun while looking impeccably polished for a sunset cruise.
Choose a palette of optical whites, soft sand pastels, and vibrant tropical hues that pop against the ocean blue. For a go-to daytime look, reach for a pair of breathable cotton shorts or a printed co-ord set from Pantaloons. As the sun dips below the horizon, switch up your look with a lightweight kaftan from W for Women.
Comfort – First Fits for A City Exploration Break
This one’s for the explorers and city-buffs that dream of navigating the vibrant energy of a new town. Be it a heritage weekend in Jaipur or an art-filled stay in Bombay, this trip demands a wardrobe that is as versatile as your itinerary. For 2026, the urban escape is all about outfits that feel comfortable during 10,000-step gallery tours but look polished enough for a dinner reservation at the local hotspot.
The essential for such trips is a comfortable backpack like this one from WROGN to elevate your outfit while keeping your essentials secure as you explore the city’s hidden gems. As for the outfits, focus on basics like tailored denim, sleek midi dresses, and refined knit polos that offer a smart-casual edge.
Cozy Layers for An Alpine Expedition
Not all of us crave sunlit days, some are all about the mountains and the majestic beauty of the outdoors. Mastering a mountain getaway is all about technical warmth paired with an alpine aesthetic. For 2026, we’re opting for a streamlined palette of forest greens, icy winter blues, and monochrome classics. Whether you’re on a rugged nature trail, a wellness retreat, or a high-intensity hiking weekend, the key is gear that handles the elements without sacrificing your aesthetic.
The secret lies in a strategic build: start with high-performance thermals, add the tactile warmth of a textured fine-knit from Pantaloons, and seal the heat with a warm oversized jacket from WROGN. Finish the look with ergonomic footwear and a pair of joggers or pants that move with you for a high-fashion silhouette that transitions effortlessly from a rugged morning trek to a relaxed campfire dinner.
Travel Accessories That Make All the Difference
The secret to a stress-free trip lies in the small details that bridge the gap between function and flair.
Stay organized with a sleek, multi-pocket travel hoodie from Nobero to keep your essentials ready, wherever your journey takes you. Lastly, for those long transit hours, a cozy co-ord set, some compression socks, and a travel pillow could be the ideal cozy flight companions.
Packing Tips for 2026
The goal is to pack with intention, ensuring you have the right look for every itinerary without the burden of overpacking. Here is the 101 of packing like a pro:
By packing smarter rather than heavier, you’ll ensure your focus remains on the journey, not the baggage.
Ultimately, the best travel outfit is the one you don’t have to think twice about. By curating a wardrobe that travels beautifully and transitions seamlessly across different climates, you’re ready for your next adventure. Whether you’re scaling peaks or strolling through city squares, do it in a look that feels as intentional as your destination.
