Asheville What to Pack

Less is always more, and the people of Asheville are not too impressed with frilly things.

Luggage

No matter what you have planned for your Asheville adventure, these luggage options are ideal for a short or long-term stay.

Clothing

Asheville is a very relaxed town so plan on dressing comfortably, especially for all of the great and interesting stores to explore downtown. The on reason to dress up is if you’re planning on dining at one of the finer restaurants downtown, and even then is usually not required.

Whenever you travel to Asheville, count on it being 15 degrees cooler there than in, say, Charlotte. In the summer, that’s a good thing. During the other three seasons, you may have to add one more layer of clothing. Bring season-appropriate clothing. In spring and fall you’ll need a light jacket or sweater. During summer, you can dress lightly, but be ready for possible cool nights – you are up in the mountains. In winter, bring a medium weight jacket or sweater – a few days get extremely cold.
