If you’ve been scrolling through travel feeds lately, you might have come to one conclusion – Black folks don’t do cold weather. And judging by all the sunny photos on beaches and swings in exotic locales, we wouldn’t blame you. However, we’ll let you in on a little secret, not only do Black people enjoy escaping to chilly destinations (being the curators of cool that we are) we also do it in style.

From baecations in matching furs in Switzerland to birthday bikinis on cruises to Greenland, we know how to bring the heat in the cold weather with a cool swag that only Black folk can provide. If you’ve been avoiding destinations where there’s more snow than sun, these cool globetrotters will make you change your mind and embrace the chill.
