Carry-On Cashmere

Nothing travels quite as well as a knit garment. Soft, lightweight and less prone to wrinkling, knits are essential for any carry-on, and yes, especially when heading to warm weather destinations.

While cashmere is often associated with cozy winters, model-turned-it-girl Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence brand is redefining knitwear as a year-round luxury. Whether lounging poolside or heading out for a seaside dinner, these elevated staples deliver comfort without compromising style.

Founded in 2022 by Hadid, the line is rooted in 100% cashmere and designed with the jet-setter in mind. The pieces — ranging from breezy button-ups to lightweight tanks and matching sets — are breathable enough for tropical getaways, yet refined enough for luxury resorts. With playful palettes and modern silhouettes, Guest in Residence captures that perfect mix of laid-back elegance.

Guest in Residence pieces shine as capsule wardrobe essentials: timeless, high-quality basics that mix and match effortlessly. The brand’s clean silhouettes and versatile colorways make it easy to style outfits that work year-round, whether layered in cooler months or worn solo in the heat. It’s luxury knitwear made for repeat wear, wherever you land next.

As Hadid puts it, these are “go-to travel companions,” and once you slip one on, you’ll understand why.
