Weekend Getaway: Cozy Luxe Edition

There’s something magical about a weekend escape—the kind that feels like an exhale. Whether it’s a drive up the coast, a countryside retreat, or a wine-filled weekend in Napa, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and surround yourself with understated luxury.

This season, I’m leaning into cozy luxe—a style philosophy that pairs elevated comfort with effortless sophistication. Think: soft cashmere, neutral palettes, and textures that whisper indulgence rather than shout it.

👜 What Defines Cozy Luxe

Cozy luxe isn’t about staying in loungewear all day (though I won’t judge if you do). It’s about intentional ease—pieces that make you feel both comfortable and polished. Here’s the formula I swear by for a weekend getaway wardrobe:

• Cashmere or Merino Knits – timeless layers that feel indulgent and travel beautifully.

• Neutral Tones – creamy whites, soft taupes, camel, and charcoal for a refined palette that photographs well anywhere.

• Tailored Ease – relaxed trousers, elevated denim, or soft leather leggings that move with you.

• Textures That Tell a Story – suede loafers, wool coats, structured totes, and a hint of silk.

Because true luxury isn’t loud—it’s how you feel when everything you pack fits effortlessly into place.
