NEED TO KNOW
Stylish, packable travel jackets are as rare as a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes in Inner Mongolia, but we think we've come across one. We took the UBU Travel Jacket to three continents, stuffed it at the bottom of a backpack, squished it into a suitcase, wore it in a snowstorm, and through it all, the UBU kept its shape, looks and the chill away. The ruched fabric feels silky and adds a dressy touch to a travel wardrobe. It's reversible, washable and can be found in colors including black, beige and a cheetah print. Sizes run small (a large fit my petite frame).
