Rest assured, we've curated a list of wardrobe essentials to achieve flawless travel and airport outfits, whether you are exploring a new destination for business or pleasure.
If you're going on a chill weekend getaway with your girlfriends or partner, try out cozy and cool sweat sets because they don’t require any thought and are still stylish. Plus, they come in all sizes, so there’s a fit no matter if you're curvy and plus size or petite, or simply somewhere in the middle.

When it comes to the best travel outfits for women, accessories play a critical role in keeping you comfy and organized. All you have to do is remember a comfortable pair of shoes , compression socks to keep things moving, an eye mask that's an upgrade from the one the airline provides, and a chic shawl that doubles as a blanket. And of course, no travel outfit would be complete without a fashionable (and functional!) carry-on bag on your arm or atop your luggage . This bag should house all your essentials and still level up your airport outfit. Keep reading for some of the best travel and airport outfit ideas for your next trip.

Travel Outfits: How to Look Chic When You’re Flying
![best travel outfit travel outfits](https://www.lindsaysilberman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/travel-outfits-1140x1425.jpg)
Listen—I’m all about rocking a cute travel outfit when I’m heading out of town…but I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing heels to the airport.
To be honest, I don’t even like wearing jeans on a plane (although I’ll occasionally make an exception if they’re REALLY comfortable jeans , or if my flight is under three hours.)
Usually you’ll find me rocking a head-to-toe set of my favorite affordable cashmere during the winter, and a lightweight loungewear set during the summer.
I often see pictures of bloggers at the airport posing next to their cute pink luggage wearing like…wedges and a mini-dress. HARD PASS. How is that even comfortable? When you’re en route to the airport (and your final destination) it’s all about feeling comfortable.
For this reason, I decided to put together a little guide to cute travel outfits…featuring things that you’ll actually want to travel in , whether you’re heading out for a winter getaway or a girls trip .
Because believe it or not, it’s possible to rock comfy loungewear, leggings, or a jumpsuit and still look SUPER chic, as long as you style them properly (especially my favorite faux leather leggings .)
Below are a handful of great travel outfits I found while trolling IG—and the exact things you can buy to replicate them.
(Also: if you’re also on the hunt for stylish carry-on luggage or if you need some good go-to travel toiletries…I got you covered.)
Chic Travel Outfits
![Travel Outfits Travel Outfits](https://www.lindsaysilberman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_4859.jpg)
Here, I’m sharing a handful of my go-to travel outfit pieces. These are all items that I think you should have in your closet regardless of how often you go on a getaway, but they just so happen to be particularly comfy choices when going on a plane.
These picks will of course depend on how long your flight is and where you’re headed, but overall, I think they’re practical for travel days.
The only caveat here is that I know a jumpsuit isn’t exactly ideal if you’re going on a long-haul flight—however—I personally don’t mind wearing them on planes because they’re so comfy and not really that difficult to slip in and out of when you need a bathroom break.
If jumpsuits aren’t your jam, there are plenty of other ideas in this post that should work for you, like a cute matching sweatsuit or leggings and a leather jacket. Without further ado, here are the staples I’d recommend having on hand for travel days.
1. An Amazon Set
![best travel outfit](https://www.lindsaysilberman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/travel-outfit-amazon-set-1440x2160.jpg)
2. A Comfy Jacket

3. Sweatpants

PRAYRNA SINHA
This post gave me a more clear idea of what I will wear when travelling and I especially loved the part where you mentioned the all black and all white monochromatic looks .
I do not think I would wear white on a plane. No to the belly sticking out as well. I do like the stretchy pants and sneakers.
Why would anyone wear a jumpsuit on a plane? The toilets are used by hundreds of people, now you want to pull down the top part of your clothes and have it dangling somewhere near the toilet, while you’re sitting on a toilet that exposes the part that gets wee on when the seat is up? Eeu that’s all kind of germ wrong!! But I do love the little 3/4 joggers! Def looking for some of those for my next long haul (when this pandemic is over!)

As a semi-recent Los Angeles transplant, I've made so many travel plans over the past two years to take advantage of my new West Coast life, whether it's an international flight to Tokyo or multiday road trip to Sea Ranch, just north of San Francisco. And when I was living in New York City, a quick four-day trip across the Atlantic to London or Paris felt like a breeze. Then there are the long-haul flights I've done from L.A. to Monte Carlo and from Orlando to Hong Kong that take up to a full day of travel. And I've done all this with just a carry-on , mind you, so it's safe to say that I'm kind of a travel and packing expert. This is why I rounded up 20 of the best travel outfits if you're sitting on a plane, in a car, or walking 10 miles in a day to explore your vacation destination .
In theory, your vacations are filled with a never-ending supply of chic new outfits that are more than deserving of a few Instagrams, but the reality is that your travel outfits need to be equal parts stylish and comfortable. Yes, achieving that balance is possible, and we have the stylish looks of the below fashion girls to prove that looking good and dressing functionally can coexist.
From roomy jeans and breezy dresses to versatile boots and bold sneakers that can withstand any mileage, scroll down for 20 travel outfits you'll want to copy for upcoming out-of-office dates.

Don't deny yourself roomy silhouettes! This is the kind of outfit that can take you off the plane and straight to lunch if you don't have time to decompress and change outfits at your hotel.

Cutout Dress + Sandals + Net Bag

If it's more of a beach vacation , you definitely want to travel with some comfortable sandals and a larger tote that can fit all your beach-day belongings. I find that these net bags fold very flat in a suitcase, but they can fit a seemingly endless amount.
![best travel outfit Libra Dress](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/y6k4KahcRyxjDuUUAgraWi-320-80.jpg)
Jacket + Plaid Skirt + Sneakers

Going somewhere with pretty mild weather? Opt for plaid skirt and sneakers. You can add a bomber in this rich brown shade if the temperature fluctuates.
![best travel outfit Distressed Leather Oversized Bomber](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/xRzW6KW9u8U8zh4hNNZyiK-320-80.jpg)

Comfortable pants and shoes are key whether you're on a plane or walking 10,000+ steps, but they don't have to feel drab. Add pops of color with your accessories.
![best travel outfit Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Classic Lightweight Low-Cut Calfskin Casual Shoes for Men and Women, Yellow](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZwJ7S2iN3u3q9hNLBEvb6V-320-80.jpg)

A matching sweatsuit is a must in any wardrobe. With a fashionable pair of sneakers, you can wear it both on and off the plane.
![best travel outfit Classic Crew Sweatshirt](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/NY9rHYTH6mYgXFpHToMwBQ-320-80.jpg)
Quarter-Zip Sweater + Long Coat

Bundle up in a monochrome 'fit like this cream quarter-zip and coordinating coat. Finish it off by adding bottoms with stretch and a trusty pair of shoes.
![best travel outfit Oversized Knitted Coat With Pockets](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/dedKybsb278Zpv4DXJ7EP3-320-80.jpg)

For a day in a new city where you're constantly moving, it's best to stick to the basics like a roomy shoulder bag , your go-to pair of jeans, and a zip-up jacket for transitional temps.
![best travel outfit Lioness + Bomber Jacket](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705556296182-main-320-80.jpg)
Leggings + Oversize Sweater

There's something about gray that makes any outfit look so much more comfortable. Throw on a cream sweater with your gray leggings for some contrast. Then put on your headphones so no one bothers you while you're waiting to board.
![best travel outfit Oversize Knit Sweater](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AggSRNGoSaLr6oQxrufWX9-320-80.jpg)
Track Pants + Statement Coat + Flats
![best travel outfit Helena Cuesta wearing blue track pants and a fur coat.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552198244-main-320-80.jpg)
Track pants are a staple that can look dressy given the right styling. Take a cue from Helena and add the one statement coat you packed this trip to a pair of sporty bottoms.
![best travel outfit Talli Jacket](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/D2jVD53KFEoyofb8uQXnQT-320-80.jpg)
Jumpsuit + Big Tote
![best travel outfit A woman wearing a jumpsuit with ballet flats and a tote bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552203040-main-320-80.jpg)
A one-and-done kind of outfit is ideal for travel. When you have a jam-packed day that starts when the sun rises, you don't want to waste any time picking out what to wear. This is where a jumpsuit or boilersuit comes in handy.
![best travel outfit Amo + Skip Jumpsuit](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705557957484-main-320-80.jpg)
Midi Skirt + Crossbody Bag + Sweater
![best travel outfit Sofia Coelho wearing a skirt, adidas sneaker, a leopard crossbody bag, socks, and a sweater.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552207053-main-320-80.jpg)
A crossbody you can keep close to you will ensure your belongings are secure on public transportation. An A-line skirt , a sweater, and statement kicks complete the look.
![best travel outfit Cos + Ripple Crossbody](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705598732291-main-320-80.jpg)
Flowy Top + Wide-Leg Jeans + Flats
![best travel outfit Yusra wearing wide-leg jeans, studded ballet flats, a long white top, and a black handbag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552216115-main-320-80.jpg)
I tend to turn to less-fitted silhouettes on vacay to keep things easy and effortless. A flowy top and wide-leg jeans are just the solution.
![best travel outfit Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/3opiu96j8p6PgQ4pXcNBaE-320-80.jpg)
Maxi Skirt + Knit Polo
![best travel outfit Liv Perez wearing a white maxi skirt, a brown sweater, brown belt, black shoes, and a top handle bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552233832-main-320-80.jpg)
For an ensemble that looks pulled together but actually takes five minutes to put on, a knit polo and maxi skirt are all you need. Add your crossbody or top-handle bag to really level things up.
![best travel outfit Slit Knitted Skirt](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/oBBicVnfeA9YjWXHwrexUX-320-80.jpg)
Quilted Coat + Shoulder Bag + Chunky Sneakers
![best travel outfit Naomi wearing beige sweatpants, chunky sneakers, a long coat, and a beige bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552245134-main-320-80.jpg)
A coat that doubles as a blanket and/or a pillow on the plane and one you can wear on the daily is a great travel piece if you're heading somewhere chilly. Pack a pair of chunky dad sneakers and a shoulder bag, and you're ready for a day of exploring.
![best travel outfit Diamond Quilted Long Coat](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/zkbCZNZ52yhiqndMNM6ztj-320-80.jpg)
Knit Sweater + Jeans + Bold Accessories
![best travel outfit Maddie Briell wearing jeans, white socks, red ballet flats, a cable knit sweater, and a red bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552252561-main-320-80.jpg)
A cozy sweater, straight-leg jeans , and red accessories are an outfit formula you'll want to remember. And definitely make sure to stop by a café while you're out to fuel up before you hit the pavement again.
![best travel outfit Jessy Oversize Cotton Cable Stitch Sweater](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/87jmoP2PtCADdgfGAiEoHU-320-80.jpg)
Wrap Coat + Comfortable Boots
![best travel outfit A woman wearing blue boots, a black leather trench coat, and a black crossbody bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552259889-main-320-80.jpg)
Rainy weather won't get you down if you have a fab coat to stay dry in. A trench or raincoat is a must if it's a rainy forecast during your travels, but you can liven it up with bright footwear.
![best travel outfit Trenchcoat Ilia](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HE24g4a6uhhwNUwkDyakUF-320-80.jpg)
Coat + Sneakers + Baggy Jeans
![best travel outfit Amaka Hamelijnck wearing baggy jeans, yellow sneakers, a long coat, a blue scarf, blue hat, and brown crossbody bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552265647-main-320-80.jpg)
Layer up with a scarf and beanie if your long coat isn't enough to keep you warm. Layering pieces that can go with several outfits are always great to pack, and as someone who lives in sunny Los Angeles, I now relish the trips where I can finally pack my versatile winter clothes.
![best travel outfit New Balance x Ganni + 1906R](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VqnDpuLgYzwPLdpanb6jpi-320-80.jpg)
Track Jacket + Comfy Jeans

I've worn Adidas shorts on so many trips now, and I've found that sporty pieces are the best to pack. They are durable, made to withstand the elements, and come in handy when you start sweating from all those steps you're getting in. A track jacket is a great piece to wear over a T-shirt or tank. Simply add some fun jeans and a colorful bag, and you'll feel like a street style star wherever you are.
![best travel outfit Cropped 1/4 Zip Alumni Pullover - Seashell Blue](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/n8X9UNYCHHQT6cBbFutkV5-320-80.jpg)
White Blouse + Black Maxi + Sneakers
![best travel outfit A woman wearing a black maxi skirt, adidas sneakers, a white blouse, and a black bag.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/whowhatwear/posts/225762/travel-outfits-225762-1705552433277-main-320-80.jpg)
A sheer white top is a godsend for those extremely hot travel days. Also, I've worn this black cotton maxi skirt on countless trips. It's one of the best travel items I own thanks to the breezy fit and elastic waist.
![best travel outfit Nalina Linen Top -- Salt](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Bwm6b72zREsXGm4PbhcZVo-320-80.jpg)

Ogling this Rimowa suitcase situation. But a shaggy jacket and unique jeans will dress up any white tee.

Lauren Adhav is a freelance fashion editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Orlando, Florida, she always wanted to work at a fashion magazine. After finally getting an internship at Town & Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan , W magazine, Harper's Bazaar , and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice. After five years in NYC, she moved to the West Coast for the sunshine and the change of pace. As a freelance fashion editor, she still contributes to Cosmo and now Who What Wear. She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.

We talk about our favorite travel clothing and help you find the perfect travel-friendly clothes to keep you comfortable on the road.
![best travel outfit best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xbest-travel-clothes-e1676064300230.jpg.pagespeed.ic.xXbmowbAS9.webp)
I’ve been a nerd about travel clothes since my first trip to Europe back in 2006—now I have a closet full of travel pants and shirts and jackets (you get the idea). It’s been refreshing to watch travel clothing evolve from hideous outdoorsy gear to stylish clothing made from high-tech fabrics.
In this guide, I’ve gathered some of the most popular travel clothing brands to help you find the best travel clothing so you can stay fashionable and comfortable while traveling.
The Current State Of Travel Clothes
In the old days, travel clothing used to look like this…
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/xugly-travel-clothes1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.q21ZWI94Gv.webp)
But now travel clothing looks like this!
![best travel outfit travel clothing](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xtravel-clothing.jpg.pagespeed.ic.p6xc11Eidq.webp)
So what’s the deal with travel clothes these days?
I’d argue that the “travel clothing” market hasn’t changed much but the “performance clothing” market is actually what’s pushing the category forward—so these days, I consider travel clothing and performance clothing essentially the same thing.
And it makes sense because many of these new high-performance fabrics offer a ton of benefits that complement both everyday wear and travel.
Even mega-brands like Levis, Gap, Dockers, Lululemon, and Uniqlo are starting to offer fashionable “travel-friendly” or “performance” clothing but small niche brands are pushing the boundaries (which I’ll cover later in this article).
The Good Things About Travel Clothing
Travel clothes are finally being designed to be fashionable and stylish so you can easily wear them in Paris, Milan, or New York without looking out of place.
My #1 travel clothing rule is that I’ll never wear any “travel clothing” that I wouldn’t wear in my everyday life.
Second, high-tech clothes continue to evolve because more companies are developing better fabrics and competition is driving innovation.
The Bad Things About Travel Clothing
Unfortunately, high-tech travel clothing tends to be expensive.
First, many of the fabrics used are high-end so the raw materials are expensive. Second, a majority of travel clothing is made by small companies so they can’t mass produce their products—which pushes prices higher.
Another negative thing about travel clothing is that there are many options for men but fewer for women. This is probably because guys tend to stick to very basic items and they nerd out on “high-tech fabrics more than women.
So what can you expect to pay for travel clothes?
- Nice merino wool socks will be $10-$20/pair
- A pair of travel pants will range from $70-$180+
- A wool shirt will be $50-$100+
Do You NEED Travel Clothing?
Do you really “need” to shell out your hard-earned cash for these high-end garments?
I’ll be the first to say that you certainly don’t need clothes made out of technical fabrics when you travel. Many of these fabrics can make certain aspects of traveling easier and more comfortable… but they’re more of a “nice-to-have” than a “must-have.”
In my opinion, there are a few key pieces that I think deliver a ton of value and there are other items that are more optional — I’ll cover both throughout this article.
The Benefits of Travel Clothes & Performance Wear
![best travel outfit Osprey Farpoint 40 Review | Capacity](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/xosprey-farpoint-40-review-capacity.jpg.pagespeed.ic.fFU6HAVAzM.webp)
What’s so great about travel clothing? Let’s take a look…
Durability & Multi-Day Wear
One of the main benefits of travel clothing is that you can wear them multiple times without having to wash them. This means you can pack fewer items so you can travel lighter.
Odor-Resistance
Many of the fabrics used in travel clothes have anti-odor properties. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant but some synthetic materials are manufactured in a way to reduce odor.
Quick-Drying Abilities
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/xexofficio-drying.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Vdc5ekAHNs.webp)
If you plan on washing your clothes while you’re traveling it’s nice to have items that can be hand-washed and air-dried quickly (i.e. washing your socks and underwear in the sink). Quick-drying fabrics can also be beneficial if you get caught in the rain.
Wrinkle-Resistance
While it’s hard to completely prevent wrinkles when you’re living out of a suitcase, many materials have anti-wrinkle properties. In general, synthetic materials resist wrinkles better than natural fabrics but it depends on the fabric.
Lightweight & Packability
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/xeurope-packing-list-backpacks.jpg.pagespeed.ic.LaWt9RRs2G.webp)
Performance fabric tends to be lightweight so it won’t weigh down your luggage as much — for example, a pair of tech pants will weigh half as much as a pair of jeans. Lightweight fabric also tends to dry quicker than something like cotton jeans which absorb water.
Moisture Wicking & Breathability
One of the most important factors in keeping comfortable is keeping dry. Moisture-wicking fabric helps pull sweat away from your skin and its breathability lets the moisture escape from the fabric.
Stretch and Comfort
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xtravel-clothing-stretch.jpg.pagespeed.ic.L924A8UEMH.webp)
Every fabric will have a different amount of stretch. Unsurprisingly, fabric with more stretch tends to be more comfortable since it allows you to move with less restriction.
But you’re always making a compromise when it comes to stretch because, in general, you sacrifice durability/water-repellency for stretchability.
Water Repellency
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/xpants-water.jpg.pagespeed.ic.gJSArfljDG.webp)
Certain fabrics are naturally water-repellent and others have chemical coatings which help keep water from soaking into the fabric. In my opinion, water repellency isn’t super high up on my “must-have” list (unless it’s a rain jacket) but it’s a nice bonus.
Note: The chemical water-resistant coatings aren’t permanent so they will become less effective the more the garment is washed.
High-Tech Performance Fabrics Explained
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xtravel-clothes-fabrics.jpg.pagespeed.ic.qThBRNOUtU.webp)
There are multiple different types of fabrics that travel clothing companies use to make their products. There is a lot of nuances and technical/marketing mumbo jumbo when it comes to each fabric but we’ll start with the three main fabric categories — natural fabrics, synthetic fabrics, and natural/synthetic blends.
Natural Fabrics
There are a handful of natural fabrics but the most common are merino wool and cotton.
Merino Wool
The best kind of natural fabric is fine merino wool because it has many natural benefits. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, soft, fairly durable, wicks moisture well, dries quickly, and works well in both hot and cold weather.
However, merino wool does have some downsides. First, it’s expensive so even a “cheap” merino wool t-shirt will cost around $50.
Second, thin wool has a tendency to develop holes much more quickly than a more robust fabric like cotton or synthetics.
And third, most wool can’t go in the dryer since heat will make it shrink so it does require a little extra care.
Cotton Should Be Avoided
Most travelers highly recommend avoiding cotton when it comes to travel clothing because cotton holds moisture and doesn’t dry quickly. For example, a cotton pair of socks will trap sweat which will cause odors, blisters, and sweaty feet.
That said, I’m not as militant when it comes to wearing cotton so I still wear cotton jeans and t-shirts. However, I still generally avoid cotton for socks and underwear.
Synthetic Fabrics
Things get a little more complicated when it comes to synthetic fabrics because there are dozens of different variations and each has different performance properties.
That said, synthetic fabrics are usually much cheaper to manufacture but some of the high-end technical fabrics are still expensive.
Synthetic fabrics are very durable, they can be highly water-repellent or even waterproof, many resist wrinkles, they dry very quickly, and they’re lightweight. Some synthetic materials also have a lot of flex so they’re comfortable to wear.
However, there are some negatives. First, synthetic fabrics can become smelly after one or two wearings. Some synthetic fabrics are treated with anti-odor chemicals so that helps.
Next, cheap synthetic fabrics have an ugly “synthetic sheen” and feel fake. Most of these cheap synthetics also make that “swish swish” sound when you walk. Advanced synthetic fabrics can look and feel very similar to natural fabrics but these fabrics are expensive — so you’ll have to pay if fashion is a concern.
Some cheap synthetics also don’t breathe well so they can get pretty balmy in the heat. That’s why you should look for “breathable” fabrics.
Another issue with synthetics is fabric flexibility. The most durable fabrics tend to not have very little flexibility. So if you’ll have to sacrifice a bit of durability for comfort in some instances.
Natural/Synthetic Blends
Travel clothing brands are starting to combine fine merino wool and synthetic fabric to give you the best of both worlds — performance and durability. I heard from someone in the wool industry that there is no performance loss as long as the blend includes at least 70% wool.
You’ll usually see blends in socks, underwear, and shirts.
The Best Travel Clothes and Recommended Travel Clothing Brands
Okay, okay… calm down. I’ve broken down each type of garment (socks, underwear, pants, shirts, etc.) into its own section.
I’ve tried giving specific recommendations when possible (and I’ll try my best to keep the recommendations up-to-date), but sometimes I can only point you towards companies that make tech-wear travel clothes.
I will also do my best to recommend options for all budgets since I know not everyone wants to drop $100 on a t-shirt.
Socks for Travel
![best travel outfit packing light socks](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/xlight-packing-list-socks.jpg.pagespeed.ic.x8u8niwk_V.webp)
In my opinion, a few nice pairs of socks (along with comfortable shoes) are the most important travel accessory. So, if you have a limited clothing budget, spend it on socks.
Boring, I know… but it will be your best bang for the buck
Fine merino wool socks are my favorite and preferred style of socks. Merino wool socks with a bit of synthetic material also work well because the synthetic fibers help the socks keep their shape/fit.
From my experience, 100% synthetic socks aren’t great but they’re not terrible.
Avoid cotton socks if you can.
Obviously, you’ll want to match your socks to the season — i.e. thin, no-show socks for the summer and longer/heavier socks for colder weather.
My Favorite Sock Brands:
- Smartwool : The most famous wool sock company. They offer just about every style. Check Amazon to see what’s available.
- Darn Tough Vermont : Darn Tough socks are made in the USA and they offer a lifetime warranty so that’s awesome. Check Amazon to see what’s available.
- Unbound Merino : This small company makes merino wool basics but we really dig their all-season ankle socks. They don’t contain as much wool as we’d like but this helps keep the cost down. Check them out at Unbound .
- Farm To Feet : This is another 100% USA company that makes a small but quality range of wool socks. Take a look at Amazon to see their offerings.
- Wigwam : Wigwam makes both merino wool and synthetic socks. While they’re not our favorite socks, their prices are pretty good so they’re worth checking out if you’re looking to save a little money. Check Amazon .
Travel Underwear
![best travel outfit light packing list - underwear](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/xlight-packing-list-underwear.jpg.pagespeed.ic.N1Ehw0ZHr1.webp)
Ahh, yes. Travel underwear.
I’ve already written at length about the many benefits of travel underwear , but I’ll briefly cover them again below:
- Quick Drying: Wash them in the sink and they’ll be dry by morning.
- Moisture Wicking : This helps keep your skin dry.
- Breathable: This helps stop you from getting all sweaty down there.
- Odor Blocking: Stop the stink (or at least delay it)
- Comfortable: You don’t want to spend your time thinking about your uncomfortable underwear.
Synthetic Underwear
![best travel outfit Pictured: ExOfficio (men's and women's) and Under Arnour (men's and women's)](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/xtravel-underwear.jpg.pagespeed.ic.1SjSXz2U01.webp)
Most travel underwear is made from synthetic fabric which is designed to be soft, lightweight, and breathable. It isn’t the best at controlling odor since some synthetic material holds in odor but many brands have various manufacturing processes that help combat odor.
The most popular travel underwear is made by ExOfficio (you can read our Exofficio review but these guys essentially invented travel underwear). We tend to find the best prices on Amazon and REI .
Patagonia (i.e. everyone’s favorite outdoors brand) has a handful of nice underwear options for both men and women.
Another very popular option is Under Armour underwear . They get a ton of great reviews on Amazon , many people swear by them, and they’re sometimes cheaper than ExOfficio.
For budget travelers, Uniqlo has their Airism line of underwear which isn’t bad but I’m not a huge fan of their cuts. But they’re very affordable so they’re worth looking at.
If you’re on a tight budget, you should check out Target and discount stores like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls because you can find “athletic” underwear for decent prices.
Merino Wool Underwear
![best travel outfit Pictured: Icebreaker Merino Wool Underwear (men's and women's) and Minus33](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/xmerino-wool-underwear.jpg.pagespeed.ic.j8QljQileo.webp)
Merino wool is actually a very solid choice for underwear — even in the summer. It’s soft, it’s lightweight, it breathes well, and it’s the best option for resisting odor. The two main downsides are the high prices and durability.
There are a few different brands that sell quality merino wool underwear:
- Allbirds : Allbirds (the company famous for their merino wool shoes) also makes quality underwear and socks for both men and women. Check them out at Allbirds .
- Wool & Prince: This is our current “go-to” brand when it comes to anything merino wool. They currently only offer men’s underwear. Check them out on Wool & Prince .
- Icebreaker: Another popular wool brand is Icebreaker and they make everything from underwear to coats. Browse their selection on Amazon to find a cut that fits your style.
The Best Travel Pants and Jeans For Men
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xtravel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Bkqgyt0bto.webp)
The number of companies making travel-friendly pants and jeans has exploded over the past few years. It’s actually kind of overwhelming but I’ll help you sort it all out.
And don’t worry — all the pants we recommend are actually fashionable so you won’t be looking like a mountain climber while city hopping.
The main thing to remember is that each of the pants on this list has different performance properties so that’s something you’ll want to match the performance to your needs.
Bluffworks Ascender Chinos
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xbluffworks-ascender-chinos-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.AqGxmZqwFJ.webp)
Bluffworks, which makes a range of travel garments, recently released their new Ascender Chinos . These are made with lightweight high-performance fabric. The polyester twill fabric has a nice amount of stretch and it has a minimal amount of “synthetic sheen”. The fabric is lightweight so it breaths well, resists wrinkles, and has water-resistant properties.
It’s also nice that these come in both a regular and tailored fit. I own the tailored fit but it certainly isn’t constricting.
The Ascender Chinos have multiple security features like multiple secret zipper pockets to keep all your stuff safe (so you can throw away that terrible money belt).
The Ascender Chinos sell for $125 via Bluffworks
Bluffworks Departure Jeans
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/xtravel-jeans-bluffworks.jpg.pagespeed.ic.rrarSqzNMp.webp)
There are a lot of people who think jeans make a terrible choice when it comes to travel pants… and they kind of are (they take forever to dry, they’re heavy, and can be hot). But I love traveling in jeans.
Well, Bluffworks helped address many of the “negative” things about denim with their Departure Jeans. These are made from 68% Cotton, 22% COOLMAX Polyester, 9% Rayon, and 1% Spandex so they are super stretchy and much more lightweight than normal denim.
And they included two cleverly designed hidden pockets that don’t interfere with the normal pockets.
But I’ve saved the best for last… these look like normal jeans and they’re legit comfortable. I wear them even when I’m not traveling and that’s about as good an endorsement as I can give.
The Bluffworks Departure Travel Jeans retail for $98
Western Rise AT Slim Rivet Pants
![best travel outfit Best Travel Pants | Western Rise AT Slim Rivet](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/xbest-travel-pants-western-rise-at-slim-rivet-1024x465.jpg.pagespeed.ic.R2gLsC8YYz.webp)
Western Rise is a small performance apparel company from Telluride, Colorado that wanted to make clothing that performed well on the trails but still looked good in town. We think the AT Slim Rivet Pants do a really nice job of walking this balance.
The AT Slim Rivet Pants look very similar to standard five-pocket pants. The fabric is durable yet fairly lightweight and breathable (97% nylon, 3% spandex). Western Rise describes the fabric as “air-texturized fibers” so while it is nylon, the fabric has a cotton feel so there really isn’t any of that synthetic fabric sheen (but it does make a swishy noise).
The fabric also has a DWR coating to help repel water in case you get stuck in the rain or spill beer all over yourself. Additionally, there is a hidden zippered pocket for security.
As for the looks, these come in a slim but not skinny cut. They look like normal pants — which is a top priority. I wear my mine even when I’m not traveling.
The Western Rise AT Slim Rivet Pants retails for $128.
Outlier Slim Dungarees
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xoutlier-slim-travel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.F6xjZPIsNl.webp)
Outlier designed their Slim Dungarees as a “five-pocket pant that we could travel the world in” and they’ve found their way on many of our trips to Europe. These have a great look and I think they’re some of the best-looking/most stylish travel pants. unfortunately, they’re also some of the most expensive so that’s something to keep in mind.
The Workcloth Doubleweave Canvas is both soft and lightweight yet very durable. The fabric has a nice amount of stretch and it dries very quickly. It also has a self-cleaning” NanoSphere® treatment that helps it repel water, coffee, wine, and dirt.
The Outlier Slim Dungarees sell for $198
Prana Brion Pants
![best travel outfit Travel Pants | Prana Brion Pants](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/xtravel-pants-prana-1024x465.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ttKFzSvEwo.webp)
PrAna is a well-established outdoorsy company so most of their stuff is better suited for things like hiking and rock climbing. That said, their Brion Pant is one of their best-sellers thanks to its fairly modern cut and the fact that they look similar to jeans/chinos.
These are constructed from their durable and quick-drying ‘Zion’ fabric that’s actually stretchy (4-way stretch) so provides a good amount of movement. It’s also coated in a water-repellent (DWR) coating so it will withstand a little water.
So, these might not win any awards for fashion, they’re a solid choice at a solid price.
The PrAna Brion Pant retails for $79 via PrAna .
Everlane Performance Chinos
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xeverlane-performance-chinos.jpg.pagespeed.ic.UZOZBL4NK7.webp)
Everlane recently released their Performance Chinos which I’m also really digging. I own a pair so I can attest that these are very comfortable and they’re probably the most stylish pants on this list.
That said, their Performance Chinos are made from 94% Cotton, 6% Elastane so these are the least “technical” pants on this list as well. But I still think these are a nice option if you’re more concerned about comfort than technical features.
The Everlane Performance Chinos cost $68 and come in four colors.
Ministry Of Supply Kinetic Dress Pants
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xministry-of-supply-kinitic-pants-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ho5hf_XQNP.webp)
If you’re looking for a formal/dressy look, but still want a ton of comfort, then look no further than Ministry of Supply Kinetic Pants . These have been described as “dress pants with the feel of sweatpants”.
The Kinetic Pants are made from Japanese Primeflex polyester that has a ton of stretch, resists wrinkles, wicks moisture, and repels water.
The Ministry of Supply Kinetic Pants sell for $145
Travel Pants & Jeans For Women
As we mentioned before, there is a lack of travel pants for women but we’ve tried to find some of the best of the limited choices that are available. One thing to note is that most women’s travel pants tend to focus more on comfort than “technical” fabrics.
Ministry of Supply
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xministry-of-supply-travel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.XqesJwDH48.webp)
Of all the travel clothing brands, Ministry of Supply makes some of the most fashionable and best-performing clothes. Their stuff certainly isn’t cheap but the prices aren’t totally outrageous either.
Their flagship travel pants are their Slim Kinetic Pants which get rave reviews for looks, comfort, and performance. And they can be machine-washed and tumble-dried.
The Slim Kinetic Pants sell for $145.
![best travel outfit Anatomie travel pants](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xanatomie-travel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.5AQVWYnTgc.webp)
Anatomie is a high-end women’s travel clothing company that’s one of the few brands which puts a heavy focus on fashion. Most of their travel-friendly pants are expensive at $225+/pair but they have a ton of different styles and cuts for just about every body type.
Check out Anatomie to see their travel pants and other travel garments (shirts, shorts, dresses, jackets, etc.).
Prana Travel Pants
![best travel outfit Prana Travel Pants](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xprana-travel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.X7vuo_2In6.webp)
PrAna is one of the few companies that make women’s pants made out of legit technical fabrics. Most of their stuff falls into the “ugly hiking pants” category but they have a few different styles of pants and jeans that are actually cute. And most of their pants are priced around $80 so they’re not crazy expensive.
Check PrAna to see all their styles.
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xlululemon-travel-pants.jpg.pagespeed.ic.TkM3fbS-EO.webp)
Lululemon may be known for its yoga clothing but they’ve also branched out to more fashion-conscious athleisure wear that works fairly well as travel pants.
Check Lululemon to see the different styles they have available.
The Best Shirts For Travel
Alright, moving right along to shirts made from high-performance fabrics that actually look stylish.
Wool & Prince Tees
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xwool-and-prince-tshirt.jpg.pagespeed.ic.3LTKpSvzGF.webp)
I practically live in t-shirts so a few solid-color tees are a staple of any travel wardrobe. While pricy, I love my Wool & Prince merino wool tees . These can be worn for multiple days and I don’t have to worry about washing them.
They have both 100% wool tees and 78% / 22% merino nylon blends. I recommend the blend since it’s cheaper, more durable, and requires less care when washing.
The Wool & Prince Tees sell from $68-$78
Bluffworks Meridian Dress Shirt
![best travel outfit Bluffworks Meridian Dress Shirt](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xbluffworks-meridian-travel-shirt.jpg.pagespeed.ic.HpTMe3ETKo.webp)
If you’re looking for a sharp-looking yet no-fuss button up then look at the Meridian Dress Shirt from Bluffworks. It’s made from 98% polyester and 2% spandex so it won’t wrinkle and the fabric will dry very quickly. The fabric can take a beating and there aren’t any special care instructions. We also like how it comes in both a classic and slim fit.
The Bluffworks Meridian Dress Shirt sells for $98
Bluffworks Piton Polo
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xbluffworks-piton-polo-travel-shirt.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Do6izCXTt7.webp)
I’ve only had my Bluffworks Piton Polo for about a month but I’m already seeing why this is an excellent travel shirt. First, it looks great and I love how it comes in a classic and slim fit. Next, the breathable pique knit is breathable and it only has a very slightly noticeable synthetic look even though it’s 100% polyester. And like all Bluffworks clothing, the fabric is tough, wrinkle-resistant, and doesn’t require any special care.
The Bluffworks Piton Polo sells for $68
Wool & Prince Polo
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xwool-and-prince-polo.jpg.pagespeed.ic.twVk-oZ6gk.webp)
My Wool & Prince Polo always finds itself in my backpack. I love the cut and the quality is top-notch. It’s a nice “dressier” change from a t-shirt while still being casual. And you get all the benefits from merino wool fabric.
Wool & Prince offers has two types of polos — a 100% merino wool version and a 78% merino wool, 22% nylon blend. I own the blend version and I love it.
The Wool & Prince Polo sells for $78-$98.
Bluffworks Threshold Performance T-Shirt
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xbluffworks-performance-tee-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ozR2Cb2k8f.webp)
You might be seeing a pattern here… but Bluffworks is back with their Threshold Performance T-Shirt. This ultra-lightweight t-shirt is made from a blend of 66% Polyester, 29% Lyocell, and 5% Elastane so it has a ton of stretch, wicks moisture well, and is very breathable. The fabric is thin (which is why it’s airy/breathable) so if you like a little more heft to your shirts then you might want to look elsewhere.
The Bluffworks Threshold Performance T-Shirt sells for $45
Wool & Prince Button-Ups
![best travel outfit bluffworks travel blazer - style](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/xbluffworks-travel-blazer-review-style.jpg.pagespeed.ic.g0lJkv_bo_.webp)
Wool & Price has a number of both short-sleeved and long-sleeve button-up shirts made from merino wool. I own one of their button-down oxford shirts and the fabric is very sturdy — I’d say it makes a nice choice for cooler weather as I can see it getting a little warm in the hot weather.
They also have a new wool/linen blend which will be more airy and breathable so these look great for warmer weather (I’ll be testing these once they get back in stock).
The Wool and Prince Button-Up Shirts sell for $98-$138
Outlier Merino T-Shirt
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xoutlier-merino-wool-shirt-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.mVOO195J2j.webp)
Outlier is another high-end brand that makes excellent products and one of my favorite items is their Ultrafine Merino T-shirt. It’s made from 17.5, 195gsm Merino Jersey Wool so the fabric is sturdy and drapes a bit better than many other merino t-shirts. And it comes in a lot of nice colors. But like all other Outlier products, the ultra-high-quality comes at a very high price.
The Outlier Ultrafine Merino T-shirt costs $110 each or three for $295.
Unbound Merino Wool T-Shirt
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xunbound-merino-tshirt-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic._NCmz5VkQ3.webp)
Unbound is another small company offering 100% ultra-fine 17.5 microns, 190g Merino wool shirts at affordable prices. I own a few of their shirts and while their shirts might not be quite as nice as other 100% merino shirts on our list, the price is a bit cheaper.
The Unbound Merino Wool T-Shirt sells for $65
Uniqlo Airism Shirts
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xuniqlo-airism-shirts-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.kkv0YL29QW.webp)
When it comes to budget basics, it’s impossible to beat Uniqlo’s Airism line of shirts. We own a few different Airism items and they’re not terrible but they certainly aren’t nearly as nice or perform as well as the other items on this list — but they’re cheap.
Check Uniqlo to see what they have because always changing their stock.
Women’s Travel Shirts
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xtravel-shirts-women.jpg.pagespeed.ic.B2a6fSIsct.webp)
Ok, here’s the deal… there aren’t a ton of “performance” shirts for women that aren’t ugly. But here are a few decent items we’ve found:
- Bluffworks Womens : Bluffworks has recently released a line of women’s travel clothing that looks very promising.
- Ministry of Supply is a great choice for high-performance clothing that still looks fashionable. And while their prices aren’t cheap, we consider them very reasonable. They also have nice dresses and other items.
- Unbound Merino has a black v-neck 100% merino shirt in a women’s cut for $65.
- Anatomie has a number of high-end cute tops made from travel-friendly fabrics but they’re expensive.
- Lululemon has some decent options but many of their items lean heavily into athleisure.

Cold Weather Travel Clothing
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/xpacking-list-winter.jpg.pagespeed.ic.6ZuzlnzsMX.webp)
Most of the items on this list will work well in colder weather but you’ll want to pair them with other items to achieve maximum warmth. The key is layering—which basically means combining a few lighter layers to achieve warmth without the bulk.
Base Layers
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/xicebreaker-long-underwear-review-1024x469.jpg.pagespeed.ic.HYdS9jDmPV.webp)
A base layer is technically anything that is worn directly on your skin. Socks and underwear fall into this category but it also includes items like shirts, undershirts, and long underwear.
In the winter we’ll throw on long-sleeve merino wool or synthetic long underwear and this helps keep us warm and dry when we’re outside all day.
For the best selection, I recommend checking out REI as they carry all the major long underwear brands. If you’re trying to save a little money, check out Uniqlo’s HeatTech line of long underwear since it is cheap.
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xnanopuff-travel-mid-layer.jpg.pagespeed.ic.qlMBpq6nAg.webp)
A mid-layer is anything that is worn between your base layer and your outer layer. Its main purpose is insulation and it can be a sweater, vest, down jacket, hoodie, or just about anything. Sometimes the mid-layer can act as an outer layer if the weather isn’t too cold.
When it comes to tech-wear, the main pieces are Merino wool sweaters/jackets, fleece jackets, and down (or a synthetic variation) jackets. The piece just needs to allow internal moisture (sweat) to evaporate through the fabric. It’s also nice if the piece is lightweight and durable.
Fleece is always a popular choice because it provides a good amount of warmth, durability, and breathability without being too bulky. There is also a variation of fleece called hard fleece — which is basically a fleece with a smoother and more durable exterior. Most hard fleece garments are also more water-resistant than normal fleece.
There are hundreds of fleece jackets available on the market at all price points, so we’d check out the selection at REI and buy whatever fits your budget.
Another popular choice is down jackets — although a lot of companies now use synthetic down ( Primaloft , Coreloft, etc.) and many people prefer synthetic material to natural down. Synthetic down is incredibly lightweight, compressible, breathable, and it retains warmth even when wet.
It is crazy how compressible natural and synthetic down jackets are — some can compress to the size of a shoe. When compared to a fleece jacket, a synthetic down jacket is more water-resistant , wind resistant, packable, and lighter.
Nearly every outdoor brand makes lightweight down/synthetic down jackets. One of the most popular and fashionable brands is Patagonia — check out both Amazon and REI for the best selection. The Patagonia Nano Puff jacket is probably the most popular lightweight puff jacket on the market so it’s no wonder it’s a favorite among experienced travelers (it’s what we use).
![best travel outfit Hamburg Travel Guide](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/xhamburg-travel-guide-1024x605.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ovm9C0mE1r.webp)
Outerwear is generally the final layer and it is what protects you from the elements (wind, rain, snow, etc.). The problem with outerwear is that it encompasses a huge range of garments that perform a huge range of functions. It can be anything from a simple waterproof jacket for summer showers, to large winter coats capable of withstanding a harsh Scandinavian winter.
I’ll start off by diving into waterproof jackets since that is probably what most people are interested in learning about.
Most traditional waterproof jackets are called hard shells . These are 100% waterproof and they have that plastic-y feel and sound. If you want the ultimate protection from the elements, this is your choice.
However, being impermeable to the elements means that the material doesn’t breathe — this is less than ideal because it doesn’t allow your body’s sweat to evaporate. Basically, it traps moisture and makes you feel all clammy.
Some high-end hardshell jackets have breathable fabric, but even those aren’t as breathable as softshells (which we’ll talk about later).
Unsurprisingly, most waterproof jackets are made by outdoor companies, so trying to find a stylish one isn’t super easy. However, there are plenty of decent-looking options by Marmot, Patagonia, and The North Face.
However, in the summer I generally recommend that a traditional rain jacket is unnecessary — mainly because it doesn’t rain a lot and most jackets are too heavy for summer travel.
However, Ultralight Rain Jackets are super lightweight (they only weigh a few ounces) and they can be packed into a pocket, so they’re easy to carry around in a daypack. Ultralight rain jackets won’t have very good breathability, but you’ll only be wearing them in the rain, so it isn’t a huge issue.
The best ultralight rain jackets are the Outdoor Research Helium II , Marmot Super Mica , and the Montane Minimus (they all weigh under 10 oz).
When it comes to breathability, it doesn’t get any better than a softshell jacket. Softshell jackets aren’t technically 100% waterproof, but they’re essentially waterproof. They’re well-suited for urban travel because they’re more comfortable than a hard shell and they’re more stylish.
Again, there are hundreds of softshell jackets, so I recommend visiting REI (click here for Men’s and Women’s ) to see which ones fit your budget and style preference.
Heavy Coats
![best travel outfit](https://thesavvybackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/xwinter-jacket-travel.jpg.pagespeed.ic.iCCSGWv06y.webp)
If you’re traveling during the winter, you may consider bringing a heavy winter coat . In some instances, you may be completely comfortable by layering a base layer, a few mid-layers, and an outer layer. But, sometimes, you need a heavy coat — especially if you’re traveling to Northern or Eastern Europe in the dead of winter.
Puffy down coats provide an amazing warmth-to-weight ratio — which is always something to consider when traveling. Combine that down coat with a base layer and a warm mid-layer, and you’ll be staying toasty. Natural down is the warmest, but it becomes ineffective if it gets wet.
On the other hand, synthetic down isn’t quite as warm, but it still works if it gets wet and it dries quicker. Different coats have different amounts of water-repellant, so this is something to take into consideration.
For the best selection of insulated coats , I recommend checking out REI simply because they have the best selection. Look for one that fits your personal style.
If you’re looking for the ultimate protection from the elements, you’ll want a standard waterproof, winter coat. A lot of coats have a 3-in-1 system that contains a waterproof outer shell and an interior insulated lining. Again, REI is a good place to start your search because they have the best selection.

When it comes to finding the best travel outfit ideas ideal for long flights, cramped bus rides, maybe even adventurous boat days, and anything in between — comfort, style and a price tag that won’t break the bank can all come into play if you shop properly.
As someone who has traveled to more than 30 different countries and over 75 cities, curating a small collection of clothing to wear on planes, trains and automobiles is an investment worth making if you love to travel . You know, clothing that feels like you’re wearing pajamas but doesn’t actually look like you’re going to bed.

The pants can go with so many things, including a blazer and blouse for when you return to the office.

- Some may find the fit too baggy
When you’re on the road or in the air, it’s important to select something breathable and comfy. This stylish tracksuit set is made with a blend of viscose and elastane, offering stretch and lots of ventilation for the arms and legs. We love the ribbed detail, as well as the V-neckline of the top. Most of all, we love the price and the fact each piece can be worn separately to create multiple looks on your trip.

- Lined with fleece for extra warmth
- Works as an alternative to a heavier jacket for the airport
- Some customer reviews mention the zipper getting stuck
This won’t work for the beach and other hot locations, but you’ll be happy to have it at the chilly airport or during the air-conditioned car ride. Featuring a YK2 style and fleece lining, the zip-up jacket has an adjustable drawstring collar, deep front pockets, and a hood if you leave the hotel without an umbrella. Soft and warm, it’s also easy to stuff into a backpack or fold into a compartment of your suitcase.
Sizes: XS-XL | Color options : 23
![best travel outfit A woman in a black and white printed travel dress.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-design-2024-08-25T144144.387.jpg?w=1024)
- Made with anti-wrinkle material, making it an ideal packing option
- Front pockets
- Dressy-casual style, so you can easily transition the look from day to night
- May be too long for petite women
Finding a dress that can be worn for multiple occasions is best when traveling, and we like all the prints this maxi comes in. It has a classic V-neck cut, comes with pockets, and is stretchy in all the right places. Wear with sneakers or flats for sightseeing, and then put on heels when it’s time for dinner.
Sizes: 0-18 | Color options: Available in one print

Size: (Exterior): 30 × 21 × 11 | (Interior) 28 × 20.5 | Color options: 11
Best Travel Skirt: Real Essentials Women’s Ultra-Soft Flowy Maxi Skirt (3-Pack)
![best travel outfit Three models in matching maxi skirts in different colors.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-design-2024-08-25T154304.005.jpg?w=1024)
- Made with soft, stretchy material
- Comes in a budget-friendly 3-pack
- Slightly compressive
- Material is on the thinner side. While not see-through, we recommend adding tights for cooler climates
Some vacation items don’t easily transition back to regular life. Instead of opting for a sarong or something cliche, we suggest a maxi skirt in a classic cut that works no matter where you find yourself. This one from Real Essentials comes in a 3-pack, so you’ll have color options, plus it can practically go with anything.
Sizes: XS-2X | Color options: 8
Best for Plane: Cozy Earth Women’s Bamboo Viscose Jogger Pants
![best travel outfit Cozy Earth Women's Bamboo Rib-Knit Jogger Pants](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Rib-Knit-Jogger-Pants.jpeg?w=1024)
- Cuffed ankles that won’t drag on the airport or public restroom floor
- Causally relaxed fit
- Breathable material
- Free shipping
- Not available in petite
Yes, Cozy Earth makes more than just sheets ! These comfy joggers pair well with the brand’s matching Women’s Bamboo Rib-Knit Hoodie and are chic for early morning flights or long car rides. The bestsellers feature a thicker waistband, and banded cuffs to keep legs warm.
Sizes: XS-XXXL | Color options: 4 | Inseams: Regular, Tall
Best Travel Top: Toumett Women’s Long Sleeve Travel Shirt
![best travel outfit A woman wearing a white travel blouse and jeans](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-design-2024-08-25T145639.884.jpg?w=1024)
- UPF 50 sun protection
- Zippered front pockets and ventilated back
- Lightweight
- The shirt isn’t made with anti-wrinkle material
A lightweight top to wear with jeans, pants, or a maxi skirt is a non-negotiable for travel. This one from Toumett is our favorite for its style and thoughtful design. The breast pockets have hidden zippered pockets, while the back’s flap can be lifted to reveal tiny ventilation holes to prevent sweating. The cool/dry fabric offers protection from the sun, and Amazon customers rave about the durable material.
Sizes: XS-XXL | Color options: 9
Best Travel Bag: lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L
![best travel outfit An everywhere bag from lululemon in the color pink.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-design-86.jpg?w=1024)
- Interior pocket to hold essentials
- Exterior zipped pocket
- Can be worn around the waist as a fanny pack or as a crossbody bag
- Not waterproof
The lululemon Everywhere belt bag is the item I could not live without during my last trip to Europe in 2021. It surprisingly fits a ton of items and keeps your essentials stored away safely but still accessible.
Size: One size fits all | Color options: 14
Best Travel Shorts: PRETTYGARDEN Women’s 2-Piece Suit
![best travel outfit A woman in a matching vest and shorts, carrying a bag.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-design-2024-07-05T162550.038.jpg?w=1024)
- Lightweight and stretchy
- Can be worn to the office when you’re not on vacation
- The shorts have pockets!
- Some of the colors don’t appear as vibrant in person as they do in the product photo
For a casual but put-together look, go for something like this. Made from a blend of viscose, elastane and polyester, it’s light, flexible, and easy to care for. Wear as a matching set one day, and then pair the shorts with a flouncy top or tank. The vest looks amazing with a skirt, jeans or another pair of shorts.
Sizes: XS-XXL | Color options: 13
Best Travel Shoe: AllBirds Women’s Tree Dasher 2
![best travel outfit AllBirds Women's Tree Dasher 2](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/allbirds.jpeg?w=1024)
- Flexible sole
- Slip-on style
- Breathable mesh upper
- Based on some customer reviews, the shoes need to be broken in first. We suggest wearing them for a few days before travel
A pair of great walking shoes is a must for the airport, sightseeing and beyond. AllBirds’ Women’s Tree Dashers are great for comfort and style. They have extra traction on the bottom, as well as a thicker sole for more support and cushion. While they’ll need to be broken in, we think you’ll love their overall flexibility, especially while exploring.
Sizes: 5-11 | Color options: 14
Best Travel Shirt: Uniqlo AIRism Seamless V-Neck Long T-Shirt
![best travel outfit A woman in a white tee-shirt.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Untitled-2000-x-1333-px-15.jpg?w=1024)
- Material has a sheer feel but isn’t see-through for maximum coverage
- AIRism technology to keep you cool
An easy breezy tee is a travel must. It can be paired with a skirt, jeans or slacks, and even works as a coverup when walking to the pool. This one from Uniqlo is drapey and lightweight, plus comes with the brand’s AIRism technology design to keep the material cool even on the hottest day.
Sizes: XXS-XXL | Color options: 5
Best Travel Outfit for Women: Quince 100% European Linen Square Neck Jumpsuit
![best travel outfit A woman in a navy blue jumpsuit.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Untitled-design-2024-07-06T224144.072.jpg?w=1024)
- Soft, hypoallergenic material
- Adjustable straps
- Two front pockets, and one back pocket
- Prone to wrinkling
A jumpsuit is a wonderful travel outfit because it can be styled in multiple ways. On causal outings, wear with sneakers or flip-flops. For the evening, slip on a pair of strappy heels. This linen jumpsuit from Quince is an affordable favorite of ours. It has adjustable straps, pockets and is lightweight enough for warm climates. It also has a self-tie belt, so the jumpsuit can have a more tailored but effortless look.
Sizes: XS-XL | Color options: 8
Best Travel Hat: Free People Arizona Packable Wide Brim Hat
![best travel outfit Left: A woman in a straw hat; Right: The straw hat photographed from above.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Untitled-design-2024-07-06T232118.746.jpg?w=1024)
- Adjustable rope detail
- No UPF protection
This wide brim hat is a touch more stylish than a baseball cap, offers coverage from the sun, and can be adjusted as needed. Best of all, it can be folded to pack away in your bag! You’ll be happy to have it while lounging by the pool or touring sunny streets.
Size: One size fits all | Color options: 4
What is the best outfit to wear on a plane?
The best outfit to wear on a plane is one that is comfortable and non-restrictive.
Look for sets or pieces made from stretchy, non-irritating and breathable materials, such as cotton. Athleisure styles are generally a good option, as they’re stylish, flexible and warm enough to keep you cozy at high altitudes.
We love the lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Crop 23-Inch Leggings for travel. They’re soft, look super cute with a hoodie and sneakers, plus have a hidden drawstring for an adjustable fit.
We also love shopping for drapey pants and joggers on Amazon. The site makes it easy to filter by color, price and size, and it’s easy to find comfortable options in whatever style we’re looking for.
What shoes to wear on a plane?
The best shoes to wear on a plane are ones that are comfortable and that can be easily taken off and back on when going through TSA.
We like Allbirds Tree Dasher’s 2 . It has a no-slip heel collar for a secure fit, as well as a cushy sole for hours of walking. Most importantly, it can be slipped on and off with ease when needed.

If you're getting on a plane, compression socks will work wonders for your circulation, especially on long trips.

A Travel Editor's Best Travel Outfits for Long Flights
@sophiemiura / Instagram
There's a certain art to building the perfect travel outfit. Last year, I spent 203 hours on airplanes jetting from New York to Tahiti, Australia, Finland, Japan, and more as part of my job as an editor and travel writer. When I'm not reviewing new hotels and airlines for work, I try to squeeze in the odd trip to explore under-the-radar vacation spots at my own pace. So trust me when I say, I've had enough practice refining the best travel outfits for long flights.
I have two rules when it comes to dressing for a long-haul flight : It has to be comfortable and something I wouldn't mind being seen in if I bumped into a coworker. With that in mind, I think I've found the best travel outfit formula. Here are the exact items I mix and match on a flight, depending on my mood and the destination. Every item ticks the boxes: They're incredibly well made, stretch, don't rub, are casually stylish, and stand up to the rigors of flight after flight.
Keep scrolling for my must-have travel and airport outfit essentials—accessories included—for the next time you take to the skies.
Holdall Duffle
This is my go-to carry-on for weekend trips. I love the leather straps, waterproof material, and the fact that I'm never asked to check it in if the overhead bins are full. Made out of 14 upcycled plastic water bottles and natural cotton, it gets bonus points for being eco-friendly too.
Durable Carry-On
A recent trip to L.A. revealed that the entire MyDomaine team swears by Away luggage . The carry-on features a hidden laundry bag, not to mention, the hard shell means I never think twice about bringing a bottle of wine back from vacation.
Enclosed Lace-Up Shoes
I prefer to wear these Thousand Fell sneakers if I'm traveling for work and want to look a bit more polished. Lace-up sneakers are a must at airports: I can loosen the laces when my feet swell midair and don't feel gross in socks when I have to take them off to pass through security.
Leather Jacket
I always travel with a leather jacket because it makes my outfit look cool and styled, even if I'm wearing sneakers and leggings. This jacket by Topshop has been on my wishlist for months.
Loose-Fitting Top
We all love Madewell's relaxed basics for traveling. This scoop-neck T-shirt is loose and layers well with a leather jacket and cardigan. The price tag might sound steep for a basic tee but the supersoft Peruvian Pima cotton is worth the splurge.
No-Frills Leggings
These shape-sculpting leggings are my travelwear go-to. They are comfy, silky soft, and have a flattering high waist. Best of all, the fabric is quick-drying, which comes in handy when you spill a drink due to unexpected turbulence—or maybe just clumsiness.
Black Jeans
I prefer to wear leggings, but if I'm lucky enough to be flying in business class, I try to look a bit more presentable. Topshop's Jamie jeans are the only ones I wear on a flight. They have so much stretch and a high waistband that's comfortable even if I feel bloated midair.
Quality Headphones
Screaming babies, loud talkers, and a plane's white noise are no match for these B&O Play over-ear headphones. Not only do they muffle noisy passengers and vessels so that I can enjoy my in-flight entertainment in peace, but they look super stylish while doing so. I don't fly without them.
Opt for noise-cancelling headphones to ensure a stress-free flight.
Parachute's Merino Travel Kit makes coach feel like first class. I find the warm blanket makes it easier to get quality sleep on a flight and sometimes wrap it around myself like a scarf when the cabin is cold. Plus, it comes in a zip-up wool bag that is the perfect travel pillowcase.
Waterproof Tote
I've had this Longchamp tote for over five years, and it's lasted countless flights and adventures. The waterproof outer casing means that the contents are protected from any spills, and it folds up into a flat package to be stored in my luggage when I arrive at the destination.
Personal Handbag
This is the perfect crossbody bag for travel: It's small, but still fits a phone and passport, zips up for safety, is made from durable leather, and can be monogrammed so you'll never mix it up with a stranger's bag.
Key Takeaways
- Prioritize these three things when it comes to travel fashion — comfort, versatility, and layers.
- You can't go wrong with sneakers, a great pear of leggings (or comfortable denim) plus a solid tee with jacket or sweater for temp changes.
- Sneakers, a go-to carry-on and headphones are non-negotiables, too.

1. Designer-Inspired Travel Outfit Set
![best travel outfit Monochrome travel outfit](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/monochrome-travel-outfit.jpg)
I have to start with one of my favorite Amazon finds this year, and it’s this Spanx-inspired set for under $60! If are familiar with the Spanx AirEssentials line (it’s truly a dream) but it’s quite expensive. This comfy Set has a similar vibe for a fraction of the price.
This 2 piece set comes with a half zip sweater, and wide leg bottoms with a tie waist that feels so soft on the skin.
It’s a comfortable & chic travel outfit because it’s easy to throw on (especially for those 6 AM flights) and it just looks a little bit more put together.
![best travel outfit travel outfits sweatsuit](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfits-sweatsuit.jpg)
I recently wore this set on my flight to Miami and I can confirm it’s comfortable for being in for many hours. I even own this set in three colors, but the Light Khaki is my ultimate favorite. The color is a stunning light beige that’s so on-trend.
Fit: I sized up for a looser fit in the bottoms. Wearing an XL

2. Comfortable All Black Set
![best travel outfit Cute Travel Outfit](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/jumpsuit-travel-outfit.jpg)
When traveling opt for lightweight fabrics. If you are looking for the perfect base for any road trip or airport travel outfit, let this simple Amazon Set be it! It has a thinner oversized short sleeve top and loose-fit joggers.
This set is 1) comfortable to wear and 2) goes with everything to create different looks. So if you wanted to add in a coat, a vest, denim jacket, leather jacket, hat, etc- it will match effortlessly.
I like how this set has a looser feel so you won’t feel restricted when traveling, and it does come in multiple colors. However, I suggest getting a darker shade to blend with your other travel accessories or hide any spills, etc! (Is it just me spilling coffee whenever I travel?)
Fit: Runs true to size, size up for looser fit.
3. Black and White Travel Outfit Set
![best travel outfit Amazon Travel Outfit](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/amazon-travel-outfit.jpg)
(Before we begin, let’s not judge the last photo- it was taken at 5:15 AM) This fun color block set is perfect for travel because it gives off old-money vibes and is super chic.
This set is under $50 and looks more expensive than it is. The pants on me are a bit cropped because I am 5’10, however will fit full length if you are shorter than 5’10. I like the cutout detail on the pants and top that gives a flowy look.
If you’re looking for more colors, this Amazon set has a few options including coffee brown, ivory, and navy.
Fit : Runs true to size. Wearing a size Large
4. Lululemon Inspired Half-Zip Casual Travel Outfit
![best travel outfit Travel outfits for women](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfits-for-women-1.jpg)
If you’re a Lululemon girl on a budget, you need to add this half-zip sweatshirt to your cart ASAP! It’s very similar to the Lululemon Scuba sweatshirt but it’s more than half the price, and it makes the perfect travel outfit.
I love this for travel for so many reasons. First, there are thumb holes that are perfect for keeping your arms warm, it’s a trendy cropped style and fleece fleece-lined.
So if you’re looking for a winter travel outfit idea- this Amazon half-zip sweatshirt and leggings will keep you warm on your travels. Plus you can always add in a jacket for extra warmth. Trust me, it’s a must for your travel wardrobe.
Fit : Runs true to size wearing size Large
5. Puffer Vest
![best travel outfit travel outfits](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/puffer-vest-leggings-travel-outfit.jpg)
Another great way to add warmth to any winter travel outfit is by adding a puffer vest . I love this style from Amazon because it’s comfortable to wear and it fits better than other styles I’ve tried.
Plus you can always take this vest on and off depending on how warm you get. Another great thing about a puffer vest is that you can wear it once you get to your destination. I love the versatility.
This style comes in many different colors, but when in doubt: black is always a good idea that matches everything.
Fit: Puffer vest runs true to size.
6. Sleeveless Knit Travel Outfit Set
![best travel outfit cute travel outfits](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfit-ideas-2.jpg)
This Amazon set went viral on TikTok for a good reason it’s stylish, comfortable, and looks so similar to the Free People version for a fraction of the price.
I adore the color combination of the Khaki White set, but I know white pants and travel don’t mix well. This set does come in different colors with darker bottoms that may work for travel more.
While this is a sleeveless style, the knit material has medium fabric weight so it’s a bit warmer. This is great for year-round travel to many destinations.
Fit: runs true to size wearing size Large
7. Long Sleeve Knit Travel Outfit Set
![best travel outfit travel outfits](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/matching-travel-set-outfit-1.jpg)
Now if you love the previous set but get cold easily, especially on those airplanes this viral Amazon set comes in a long sleeve two-piece sweat set version . As soon as it came out you knew I had to have it.
For the long sleeve version, I opted for the Khaki color which comes in a monochromatic top and bottom.
I also have to note that the pants on this set are very comfortable to wear and stretchy with pockets! I know some sets on Amazon can come with uncomfortable bottom options (especially if you have wide hips like me).
I also like how the sweater material is not scratchy. It’s a 10/10 for me.
8. Blazer and Trouser Pants Travel Outfit
![best travel outfit cute travel outfits](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/cute-travel-outfits-1.jpg)
This look is for my business girlies out there, or if you just want to be dressed up. A blazer and trousers are always a good idea.
I am obsessed with this blazer from Amazon . I am proud to say that I own it in 5 colors and patterns and wear it all the time, and it’s comfortable enough to wear on long flights to Europe.
And if you thought you could only wear leggings on a plane, think again.
These trousers on Amazon feel like sweatpants and are very comfortable to wear. Now these don’t have the best reviews as users say it’s not quite figure flattering. However, as someone with wide hips, I appreciate the extra room these trousers give.
Pair the look with a pair of loafers or a pair of flats and you’ll be ready for any meeting or event.
9. Coatigan Travel Outfit
![best travel outfit travel outfits for women](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfits-for-women-2.jpg)
When a cardigan and a coat get mashed up together, you get a coatagin. This long coatagin style on Amazon is a best-seller for a good reason. It looks so chic and dresses up any travel outfit (plus it feels like a cozy sweater).
Add your favorite cotton T-shirt and leggings with this coatagin and you will be ready to go.
Note : I’m wearing this in the Light Camel color and in person the color looks pinker than it does online.
Fit: Runs true to size, wearing size Large
10. Oversized Crewneck and Leggings
![best travel outfit Travel outfit Ideas](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfit-ideas-1.jpg)
The key to any travel outfit is comfortable clothing. Look no further than this casual oversized crew neck sweater . This sweater is lined with fleece so it will keep you very warm, especially for any winter travel.
And if you love neutral colors, you’ll have fun selecting what color to get. This style comes in a variety of muted trendy colors, and the Coffee Grey color is stunning- a true dusty mauve (obsessed).
You can add this oversized sweater with a pair of leggings, or even straight-leg jeans if they are comfortable enough for the ideal airplane outfit.
Fit: runs oversized size down wearing a medium.
11. Trench Coat Travel Outfit
![best travel outfit trench coat travel outfit](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/trench-coat-travel-outfit.jpg)
Doesn’t a trench just dress up any outfit? Adding in a trench coat instantly dresses up your travel outfit whether that’s a flight or a road trip vacation.
This Amazon trench coat is my favorite because it’s extremely lightweight so you won’t get too overheated when wearing it. It’s also not too bulky-looking. I love it so much that I just got it in black.
Another benefit is that you can wear it to your destination, even in the rain!
Fit: R uns slightly oversized. Wearing it in a medium, but a large would give it a more relaxed look. Size down to be more fitted or get your true size to be relaxed.
12. Oversized Tunic Sweater Outfit
![best travel outfit Travel outfit Ideas](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfits-all-black-outfit-2.jpg)
Another casual travel outfit that looks put together is wearing an oversized tunic sweate r with leggings or straight-leg pants.
This oversized sweater from Amazon has two slits on the sides and is long enough to cover your bum. This is an easy style to just throw on for an effortlessly chic casual look.
Add in a faux leather legging for extra shine. These Faux leather leggings on Amazon aren’t too compressing, which makes them a great option for long-haul flights or long trips.
Fit: R uns slightly oversized. Wearing a Medium.
13. Black Leggings
![best travel outfit Amazon Leggings](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/leggings-outfit-travel-outfit.jpg)
I’ve gone through trial and error to find the best leggings on Amazon… and these black pair of leggings are the best I’ve found.
These leggings are very similar to the Lululemon Align leggings but are a fraction of the price. They truly feel buttery soft, hug the right places, and have medium compression for tummy control.
Plus leggings are so comfortable on any flight and they make going through airport security a breeze.
Fit : Size down for a more compressed feel. Wearing size M
14. Wide leg Pants
![best travel outfit travel outfit pants](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfit-pants.jpg)
@danaberez Airport outfit idea: The most comfortable travel pant on amazon! Wearng size L comes in so many colors #amazonloungewear #amazonfashionfinds #amazonfindfashion #airportoutfit ♬ original sound – Dana Berez
Another pant option I love to wear on long-haul flights are these Amazon wide-leg pants . The material is extremely stretchy, has some tummy compression, and pockets, and feels weightless on you. They are also wrinkle-resistant- great for summer travel!!
I have paired these pants with basic tee shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets making this a year-round travel pant. Add in high compression socks to keep your ankles warm.
Note: I’ve washed mine a few times and there is some pilling on the fabric, but they are so comfortable I overlook it.
Fit: Runs true to size wearing a size large
Travel Outfit Accessories
Here are some of my favorite Amazon travel outfit accessories to complete your look and add function and comfort that out together great travel outfits.
Weekender Bag
I have to admit I have a few favorite weekend bags on Amazon, so here are my top 2 favorites.
![best travel outfit black weekender bag amazon](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/amazon-weekender-bag-1.jpg)
This weekender tote bag seriously feels just like my Beis Weekender bag. But the best part, it’s for a fraction of the price, and it’s a bit smaller making it fit under the airplane seat in front of you a breeze. A great carry-on option along with your luggage.
I like the textured canvas exterior and wire framing adding strurcture to the bag. Plus there is a zippered compartment for your shoes.
![best travel outfit amazon carry on bag](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/bagsmart-weekender-bag.jpg)
Another favorite is my BagSmart Weekend Bag- the perfect carry-on. This bag has so many helpful pockets to keep your items organized, and I appreciate the helpful narrow laptop compartment.
While this bag does not have a shoe compartment, you’ll have more room on the inside of the bag and it has a helpful trolly sleeve to use with your suitcase. Plus the straps have held up, even after plenty of use.
![best travel outfit belt bag amazon](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/belt-bag-amazon.jpg)
I love carrying all my travel essentials in this belt bag , especially going through the airport. I keep my phone, passport, wallet, and boarding pass in my belt bag and I can feel confident knowing I have the most important things right on me.
Plus you can wear this cross-body bag to your destination as well.
This belt bag from Amazon is affordable and feels just like the one from Lululemon for a fraction of the price. Such a game changer for organized travel.
Adidas White Sneakers
![best travel outfit Adidas Travel Sneakers](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/adidas-travel-sneakers.jpg)
My all-time favorite white sneakers are the Adidas Advantage Sneakers . Over the years I’ve owned a few pairs of this style and keep going back because they are comfortable to wear (even when you first put them on, no need to break them in ).
These sneakers also match with any airport outfit and any outfit you decide to wear in your destination. This means you don’t have to pack another pair of shoes when you wear them!
Another trendy Adidas style is the Adidas Sambas . These are actually a mens style, but if you can get your hands on them they make a chic statement.

New Balance Sneakers
![best travel outfit New Balance 574 sneakers](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/new-balance-574-sneakers.jpg)
If you’re looking for another comfortable shoe, the New Balance 574 sneakers are extremely comfortable and on-trend. I also love the fact that you can wear these with so many outfits and you don’t need to break them in.
FAQ: Can you wear sandals on an airplane?
I’ve worn Birkenstock pair of sandals on an airplane, and I have to admit I did get a lot of looks. However, if you find them comfortable you can wear sandals.
I’d just bring a pair of socks to cover your feet… I find it can be a bit strange to stare at your neighbor’s bare toes mid-flight.
What about heels? For the most comfort, I’d avoid wearing heels.
Baseball Hat
![best travel outfit yankee baseball hat](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/yankee-hat.jpg)
Want to know a way to look stylish at the airport or traveling? Wearing a baseball hat is so genius because you don’t have to worry about doing your hair, and it looks super cute.
I love these sporty baseball hats on Amazon because some teams have neutral color options making it easy to match with any travel outfit.
Sunglasses & Jewelry
I believe that sunglasses just hide any sign of being tired, which is perfect for long travel days. Plus it adds a sophisticated touch to any outfit!
Add in dainty jewelry like small earrings, rings, and a pendant necklace to dress up your outfit.
Oversized Scarf
![best travel outfit Oversized scarf](https://danaberez.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/travel-outfit-accessory.jpg)
Another accessory to bring is an oversized scarf. This is a fall winter travel essential because you can cover your shoulders and neck when you need to, and stow away the scarf when you don’t need it!
And once your car, bus, or airplane starts blasting the cool air conditioning you can always grab your oversized scarf or packable jacket!
A cashmere scarf is luxurious and keeps you warm.

Best Real People Airplane Outfit Ideas
Table of contents.
Mastering the right outfit to wear on an airplane is no easy feat. You have the plane climate and destination climate to consider, and you want to still look stylish while feeling comfortable.
One of the key ways I come up with flight outfit ideas is by creating an interchangeable capsule wardrobe . Not only does it help with simplified packing, which can easily fit into a carryon suitcase, but I can revolve what I wear on the airplane to sightseeing, nature excursions, and even nights out on the town.
A travel capsule wardrobe should be composed of soft, yet packable fabrics that can compress and be organized into packing cubes . And each item should mix and match with each other, be super versatile, so that means I can pack less but still cover all my activities. And, of course, have nice styling details too!
Anyway, recently I felt moved to think about the best airplane outfit ideas due to people-watching at the airport and noting some real-life travel looks that fit well in capsule wardrobes. (They basically rocked!)
Regardless of your style, we’ve recreated these looks that may spark something in you as well:
- Easy Comfort
- Glam Globetrotter
- Easy Breezy
- Rocker Chic
- Pretty in Pink
You can also take a peek at my personal airplane outfits by season:
Fall: Comfy Jetsetter Airplane Outfit
Winter: indie edge airplane outfit.
- Winter: All-Black Chic Airplane Outfit
Spring: Sleek Airplane Outfit
Summer: light and breezy airplane outfit.
Now, check out some of the best airplane travel outfits for each of these looks, along with my own!
Best Airplane Outfits for Women
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-1.jpg)
Cardigan | V-neck | Leggings | Boots | Duffel
Easy Comfort Airplane Outfit
This by far is the easiest airport outfit for anyone to duplicate. Easy to wear basics in neutral interchangeable colors plus a few stylish accessories – simple flight fashion!
The perfect formula for an easy to wear comfortable airplane outfit is a classic combo of fitted tee plus leggings. Pair with a cute yet cozy layer such as a long cardigan and shoes that are easy to remove to go through security.
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-2.jpg)
Button Up | V Neck | Jeans | Boots | Earrings | Jacket | Suitcase
Editor’s Tip Pick for an Airplane Outfit
This look is definitely for the ultra-glam jetsetter. I saw this airport outfit on a woman as she went through security and I couldn’t help but stare in awe at her elegance and designer style. I’m not sure I could pull this off but cheers to you if you can!
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-3.jpg)
Dress | Scarf | Sandals | Handbag
Airplane Outfit for a Beach Vacation
One of the loveliest airplane travel outfit ideas—what a great look if you’re headed to a warm destination! I’d definitely carry a cardigan with me in my personal item for the in-flight chills but this is sexy, sophisticated, and a cool take on this season’s neutral – military green.
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-4.jpg)
Boots | Pants | Shirt | Jacket | Bag | Carry-On
First Class Airplane Outfit
This outfit is definitely more up my alley, at least when traveling to cities. The one issue is the metal on the jacket and boots but they’re easy to take off as you go through the security line. Totally worth a little effort.
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-5.jpg)
Trench | T Shirt | Denim | Trainers | Purse
Casual yet Chic Airplane Outfit
Understated elegance, this classic look seems to be a timeless airport outfit in Europe since I saw women of all ages sporting an ensemble such as this. The trench was EVERYWHERE at Heathrow airport in November and rightfully so. It’s an investment piece that’s sure to stand the test of time. Seriously, one of the top outfits to wear on airplane trips!
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-6.jpg)
Boots | Sweater | Jeans | Coat | Handbag
Feminine Airplane Outfit
I absolutely love this airplane style outfit and can imagine an epic picture in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The neutral wardrobe is offset by the bold statement coat which is a great travel strategy when traveling in the winter. After all, your pictures will mostly be of you in a coat, why not make it a great one?
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/travelfashiongirlpostphotos/Polyvore/airplane-outfit-7.jpg)
Trousers | Top | Boots
Boho Cozy Airplane Outfit
This look took me by surprise but I really like the unexpected combination. Easy to wear, comfortable pieces with weather-friendly boots , and a few key boho pieces that exude editorial-worthy confidence. Love it!

Wearing my All Saints leather iacket with Delsey Suitcase during my flight to Thailand
Fall can be a tricky time of year. I try to avoid going full-on winter and in this case, I was traveling to Thailand during October, so knew I’d shed things like scarves for an airy tank top upon landing.
I love this look because it’s clean and easy to put together. The pants have a give and the coat is fitted but I can move my elbows and arms with ease. A scarf is particularly topical for fall because when there’s a slight chill it instantly warms me up.
My flight from US to England with All Saints leather jacket , | Ankle Boots ( similar ), Delsey suitcase and Rebecca Minkoff backpack
While I tend to wear simple colors, I still like a bit of rock n’ roll edge to my look every so often!
For this airplane outfit, I was traveling during the wintertime from the US to England and wanted some warmth, so I wore a leather jacket and layered a shirt underneath that. I then put on my fave jeans and then slid in some funky low-heeled ankle boots. I was comfy and cozy I tell you!
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://travelfashiongirlpostphotos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/2020/Airplane+Outfits/airplane-outfit-12.jpg)
Blouse | Spanx Leggings | Tory Burch Flats | Longchamp Tote | Delsey Suitcase
This beauty is my new fave airplane outfit that’s awesome for spring (or early fall)!
The look is super stylish but seriously comfortable. I prefer movement and stretch in my pants when I fly and these Spanx faux leather leggings have give in the elastic waistband and knee area. They’re kinda my go-to’s now!
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://travelfashiongirlpostphotos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/2020/Airplane+Outfits/airplane-outfit-13.jpg)
Spanx Moto Leggings | Ankle Boots ( similar ) | Delsey Suitcase | Nomad Lane Bento Bag
Good flight shoes are a must so I seek out flexible flats, comfy boots, or slip-ons that don’t pinch my feet and can be easily removed through security. These Tory Burch Minnie flats were a new buy and so surprisingly comfy and I walked from terminal to terminal with no problems!
Check out reviews for both the Tory Burch Minnie flats and the Spanx faux leather leggings !
Wearing Spanx leggings and black ankle boots as my favorite airplane outfit
Editor’s Winter Favorite: All-Black Chic Airplane Outfit
This is by far, my FAVORITE and best outfit for airplane travel during the winter! It’s warm and layered, so I can take things off/on when needed, and I still feel fashionable.
I was actually going from cold to warm weather, so I wore my heaviest items on the plane and changed once I arrived at my destination of Bonaire. And when I say “heavy” that refers to my coat and boots.
The secret to a capsule wardrobe is to include packable items. My coat is Anatomie, it’s well made and can compress down fairly well, and my boots were a little bulkier but I always look for ones that are as lightweight as possible. And these ones are waterproof so it can handle the elements and still look cute!
Feel free to check out the best waterproof ankle boots for more inspiration!
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://travelfashiongirlpostphotos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/2020/Airplane+Outfits/airplane-outfit-14.jpg)
Jacket (similar) | Top (similar) | Pants (similar) | Slip-ons (similar) | Messenger Bag
I wore this when I hit Europe in the summertime and it was a durable, adorable ensemble I remember fondly!
For me, it’s important to have a comfy flight outfit, and I usually re-wear the same outfit for travel days thereafter, whether I’m flying or taking a train. If I’ve really nailed down an outfit that works for me, then it’s a keeper!
I swear by using lightweight pants and jacket . It has lightweight fabrics that don’t retain moisture so I feel airy in hot climates. For a top, the sleeveless blouse comes with me for every summer trip! It’s comfortable and breathable, and I can layer it with a cardigan or light jacket if need be.
Again, shoes need to feel right, on or off a flight, and I discovered these Skechers Mary Jane slip-ons ( which are now sold out but here’s a similar one ) because readers raved about them for years! Their memory foam insole means my feet feel cushioned all the time!
More of My Airplane Outfits
I hope you found these cute airplane outfits motivating to begin piecing together your own personal capsule wardrobe that can move from “up in the air” to “on the ground!”
![airplane-outfit airplane-outfit](https://travelfashiongirlpostphotos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/2020/Airplane+Outfits/airplane-outfit-16.jpg)
Aside from the wardrobe choices above, what stood out above all was that all these travelers had freshly styled hair and makeup, which really adds the finishing touch to even the most casual of airport ensembles. Don’t forget that a good blow dry and mascara goes a long way!

I love these travel outfit ideas! I want to be comfy when I travel, but I also want to look cute and not lazy or sloppy. These outfit ideas are just what I need to help me put together the perfect travel outfit for myself!
Wait! Thanks so much for sharing these outfit ideas, it feels so easy to recreate when you have it with pictures like this. I travel a lot and my outfits can be hit or miss haha
Love these polished yet comfy outfit suggestions. So key to be comfortable yet still stylish even when traveling on those long haul flights. Love them all.
Most of my flights are between the US and Southeast Asia – so I’m usually just focused on how to be as comfortable as possible for 30+ hours. I love Vuori joggers (so soft!!) and a tank top for if I get hot with a jacket for if I get cold. I do need to step up my game when I fly in the States so I appreciate all the stylish ideas!
So many cute options. Thank you for sharing both the suggestions as well as some personal examples. It’s always fun to get new ideas of combinations that will look cute and travel well.
Luv this article! I have followed travel fashion girl for several years. I found a video on U-tube on how to pack for 10-days in Europe using a carry-on bag. Guess what? It worked. Have been using capsule wardrobe concept ever since. I use solid hair products at home too. Always great to see the latest thoughts on fashion forward looks.
This is so helpful! I am very impressed by those that can wear upscale, polished blazers, jeans and dresses when traveling. I appreciate that you have practical but stylish options for us leggings and cardigan sweater gals! Wish the Skechers slip ones were still in stock.
Love wearing my go-to and heavier items on the plane – jean jacket, white tennies for spring/summer, and Chelsea boots for fall/winter. Always bring a layering piece in my personal bag, and tie a scarf on my personal bag too. The temp always seems to fluctuate between boarding and in flight, so it’s nice to have options.
My go-to outfit is leggings and a merino wool t-shirt – super casual, but I want to step up my airport outfits so this post was super helpful with ideas!
I love all of these outfits! To me, the airport is one of the best things about travel and I look forward seeing, walking, exploring as much of it as I can. Therefore, the most important part of the travel outfit are the comfortable shoes!
I’m all about comfort on an airplane. These suggestions are great!
Taking my first International trip in a few months. I’ve never taken a night flight and didn’t know what to wear since we arrive in the morning and will be on the go right away! These choices are all so helpful! Now to only decide, I love them all!
I recently bought a couple of pairs of Old Navy high waisted power soft wide leg pants in navy and in black. These have been perfect for travel. Super comfy on the plane, and they look nice enough for conferences. I love all your looks here!
So many great tips! I’ve used your packing lists to successful pack for a two week Italy vacation in a carryon. I was able to put together plenty of fashionable interchangeable outfits and I’m so grateful that I packed light! My red eye travel outfit was perfect and included layers. A tank, lightweight linen tee, scarf that doubled as a blanket, and a pair of athleta Brooklyn heights joggers. Their joggers and trousers are perfect for flying.
Love seeing all these options! Such variety for any style of airline travel and any type of style. Great inspiration.
Thanks for this article! Having had flight cancellations where I ended up in the same clothes for a couple days, I always think about what outfit would serve me well – versatile, comfortable, and will look okay a bit mussed or wrinkled… These outfits look chic and fit my style, too. Thank you!
Thank you for this article, super helpful and I completely agree! More and more I’m learning about capsule wardrobes and how important they are!
Great ideas for travel outfits…comfort and style. Using a lot of these ideas for my Fall European trip! Appreciate all the great tips
I love all of these ideas for outfits to wear when flying on a plane. Two of my favorite pairs of pants to wear for flying are a pair of Quince linen pants which I purchased upon recommendations from readers of Travel Fashion Girl and also the Eddie Bauer Departure pants. I get so may great ideas for clothing and what to pack, etc. from these blogs.
I love all these options. I struggle with choosing an airport outfit with pieces I can wear again. Thank you!
Love all these great options!
I’ve learned so many great tips from TFG as well as the TFG Facebook group. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Great ideas. I always layer because I am always hot, but then it can get cold in the airport or plane!
What to wear on the plane, especially a long haul vacation, is always a challenge. Stylish yet comfortable, easy to wear yet not sloppy, arriving at your destination not looking like you have spent hours in the plane. Loved the outfits by season! This site never disappoints! What a gem 💎 ✨️!
I love all of these, especially the understated elegance. You have such beautiful taste and have inspired me, not only with my travel wardrobe, but also in my everyday wardrobe!
I love this blog post and go back to it often depending on where I am going. You make planning for travel so much fun, and a different sort of adventure for certain. I also love spotting fellow TFG travelers by their airplane outfits as well.
Love these ideas!! I am traveling out of the country for the first time next month and, thanks to TFG, I have put together my perfect outfit! I will be comfortable and well put together. Ordering the last piece today (also a TFG recommendation). Love this site!!
Love these ideas. Always looking for ways to be comfortable flying, while also looking stylish.
What fantastic ideas! I always struggle the most with plane outfits because I want comfort but don’t want to look sloppy or old! Thank you for doing all the legwork for us!
Love these ideas! Thank you for sharing.
It’s always a challenge finding items that travel well, are comfortable, and leaving you looking “pulled together” after a flight. These are great ideas – thanks!
Loved all of your airplane outfits. Going to South Africa and looking for comfy outfits for 15 hour flight. Great ideas. Thanks.
You ROCK! This ‘1-stop’ travel trove of wisdom, REAL-life help, and tips is a God-send! I’ve ordered many items you & other readers recommend (espec. on major holidays/Black Fri. sales). As a woman on a budget it’s a bit tough w/ all the expenSive sites (Nordstroms, JC Crew) so I appreciate you adding “Quince” as they seem to cut out the middleman/advertising. As the founder of a charity every dollar counts, thus a $340 trench coat is out, yet on Quince it’s much much less (& they have free returns!) I just ordered my 1st item from Quince & looking forward to wearing it as you highly recommended it! Thanks for ALL you do, Cathleen (RN)
Love all the outfits! Is there an updated plus size article for the over age 60 group.
I have my favorite airplane outfit: long pants (lightweight for summer, heavier for winter), sleeveless top, cardigan, tennis shoes with low rise socks.
This is a post that I keep coming back to again and again every time I travel. I have recommended this blog and Facebook group to many of my friends. I consider the Facebook group to be the single most helpful group that I am in. Of course I do live and love to travel lol.
I’m always looking for airport outfit ideas! Love all the different options and styles. Thanks for sharing!
I love the variety of options too as well as the total look that includes everything to create the outfits even lipstick.
I love this post. Especially the black and blue with leather jacket. I love options for women of all ages and sizes. I can never color coordinate, so I appreciate the ideas!!
I honestly think the “airplane” outfit is the hardest one of all – LOL!! Since I’m west coast based all my flights to Europe are 10+ hours so… a VERY long day of travel! The Easy Comfort” outfit is definitely my style – cute, comfortable and practical since it features two bulky and hard to pack wardrobe items – a long cardigan and boots! A variation of this look is going to be my choice when traveling to London and Croatia next spring!
Always love your ideas! I find that my travel outfits change based on where I’m going and what I’m doing once I arrive. But often some iteration of what you’re showing.
I travel in Athleta Brooklyn pants that I found because of this site. They dress up or down and are super comfortable and also can be washed in the shower and dry overnight. Awesome travel staple
While I have yet to do a carry-on-only trip, I’ve learned so many valuable tips from your site! I now have the best travel pants and a wardrobe capsule that mixes and matches beautifully! Thanks for all you do!
All of these are great options, thank you! Soooo much nicer looking and just as comfy as some of the traveling outfits I see at my job as a flight attendant! Love your ideas!
I love these outfit options! I usually wear a short DVF wrap dress with leggings and shoes that are easy to slip on and off for travel. But I definitely want to try a few of these amazing looks.
I have followed Travel Fashion Girl for some time and I cannot even tell you how many times I have read about the best shoes for travel and the best bags (handbags, backpacks) that are secure and stylish. It is because of you that I discovered Travelon. This post about what to wear on the plane with accompanying photos really hits home. We are traveling to Europe at the end of this week and I had vacillated between wearing stretchy Ponte pants that unfortunately have not pockets and blue jeans. After reading some posts on Facebook and seeing these pictures (and knowing how much I rely on pockets), the jeans have won out. Plus, not having to pack them will reduce the weight in my suitcase. Please know that even those of us who are not very chatty usually are reading and enjoying TFG and are very thankful for this resource. May all your journeys be happy ones.
I’ve been following Travel Fashion Girl for some time and love all the tips and real life scenarios. I’m in my 60’s and am mostly into being comfortable with some fashion thrown in. I love that the styles shown are for the younger women all the way up to us traveling seniors! I can always find something here that works for me.
I bought the tee and joggers from Sexy Modest Boutique. I have traveled in them for the past year. They are comfortable, breathable, and I can create different looks with jackets, shoes, scarves, etc…I have black in both pieces. When worn together it looks like a jumpsuit which I like, but I also use each piece with my other clothing to create outfits, so they are part of my capsule. I just recently traveled to Europe and was very comfortable on the long flights (felt like pjs).
I’ve been looking at these. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on wearing for travel.
I love this post! So informative and the photos make such a difference in seeing how it all works together.
I tend to wear long dresses on flights. That way my legs are covered if it’s cold but also, I’m not too hot when I get off the plane. My go to has Spaghetti straps that I paid with a cardigan or jean jacket. That is the ultimate in comfort for me!
I’ve been following Traveling Fashion Girl for the past year. Joined the group after my husband surprised me with a trip to Italy. Love to travel but struggle with overpacking and never seeming to be able to put together an outfit. Your blog has been soooo helpful and I’ve learned so much! Thank you for all the interesting information and truly helpful advice!!! Love it!
I love everything about Travel Fashion Girl! The tips on packing and clothing are spot on. So glad to have found you. Keep traveling!
Your blogs and fb group have helped me be a better Travel Fashion Girl, thank you so much for your advice and suggestions! I love this community.
I wear a lounge set from Duluth Trading Co. on long-haul flights. It’s a tank top with a built-in bra, it’s very comfortable! It’s a monochromatic look so it looks chic.
Such cute outfits! I am inspired to get some new travel outfits!
I’m definitely an easy comfort kind of traveler, haha. My go-to’s are either Fabletics leggings or Anatomie pants (always stretch!) with 2-3 layers on top, typically a tank or tee with a long sleeve shirt or sweater over and optional scarf because I am always cold on the plane but hot in the airport. I’m an options girl for sure! I do try to style up with my tops though so I look put together vs frumpy.
So many good ideas. I love having a pulled together travel look, rather than just any old sweats and t-shirts that I see so much of. That way I can hit the ground running when I arrive and not have to change.
I have read and re-read so many of the blog posts. I have purchased a few items from the FB group and the TFG favorites…and I had considered myself a well seasoned frequent travel expert!
The easy comfort type is the way to go for me. I mostly travel with kids si ability to be comfortable is key. Joggers, loose T-shirt, cardigan or jacket and running shoes.
Every year I fly at least once to Europe and once to Hawaii from KY. At 72, I’ve discovered that my favorite flying outfit is is midi length sleeveless black jersey dress with knee length slits on both side seams. Flexible enough to wear as a jumper, or wear it with a scarf, add a sweater, or a jacket, or a pull over sweater. It’s easier to use the toilet on an airplane but pulling something up then pulling down pants and attempting to keep them off the bathroom floor.
Wish more of the travel clothes came in tall.
Thank you for elevating the idea of what’s appropriate for travel. With so many options, it’s possible to be comfortable and pulled together. It always amazes me to see what fellow travelers wear to board an airplane….and not usually in a good way 😞 Those who take the time to look nice stand out in a positive way, and that’s what I aspire to. So grateful for all of the resources here!!
As someone who wears skirts 300 days of the year, I always have trouble with my airplane outfit- how to style pants?! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love these tips plus all the others you post!
Where is that chunky silver necklace from?
Hi Nikki, it’s from By Aris. I loooooooove their metal jewelry so much!!!! And they evenmade this custom necklace for me and named it after me. 😊 The “Alexandra” necklace: https://byaris.com/products/alexandra-necklace/
Love your blog and all the Facebook group ideas and recommendations!!
Great suggestions. After many years I have finally come up with my go to airport outfit. Long sleeve or short sleeve stripe tee, cardigan or blazer, black comfy pants and loafers with a scarf!
Hello – Thank you! Trying to figure out exactly which long grey cardigan that is in first pic…the Amazon link shows several.
Hi Catherine, I have had a look for you but unfortunately it looks like this cardigan is sold out.
We do have more options on this post which you might like: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/best-cardigans-for-women/
I am flying Tuesday night to Sweden for a 2 week road trip. Your article helped me choose my “flying” outfit from my Classic 12 piece capsule. Thanks to you and all your readers for taking the anxiety out of packing for my first trip since before Covid.
Love the Casual and Chic look featured above. Comfort with a pop of color!
Thank you for giving me inspiration for my airplane outfit. I have been working on it for the past month or so . . . I like to be stylish, yet comfortable. Since it will be a long 36 hours of flying/travel time, I will be changing to some comfy wide leg pants for the overnight leg, but plan on being more stylish for the first part wearing my EB black Ponte pants, Departure 2.0 long sleeve white shirt, and jean jacket. Still deciding on which shoes to wear!
Jeans are not the best thing to wear on a plane. There are lots of comfy trousers with flexibility and look a heck of a lot better. Open toes is a no-no, loafers or boots better choice for footwear. Otherwise, thanks for posting cute travel outfits for all of us!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us Christina! ?
I love all of these ideas. I do not know if I am just old-school or still believe in fairytales, but I always try and be comfortable while chic. Using my Delsey Chatelet bag ( recommended by TFG) and a faux leather backpack, I keep thinking I will be invited to First Class for a glass of champagne. lol
I found scarves to be a TSA tag. They ask me to remove, so they know you’re not carrying something around your neck. Even a bandanna.
Thank you for sharing your travel experiences with us!
I like the boots in the Editor’s Tip Pick for an Airplane Outfit. They are black with buckles. Can you send the exact link to find these?
Hi Natalie, I am sorry about this but unfortunately the boots featured were the Ugg Simmens boots which have recently become unavailable. They are similar in style to the Ugg Wilde boots featured here: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/best-waterproof-boots/ We are looking to update many of our articles so thank you for bring this to our attention. I am sorry we could not have been of more help ?
Thank you for the other options. Going on an Alaskan cruise and I was told to have waterproof shoes due to the fact it rains a lot.
Hi Natalie, so pleased I was able to help! ? If you need any more tips to help with packing for your cruise, we also have this article: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-pack-for-alaska-cruise-in-august/ Have an amazing time! ?
Do have any suggestions/articles for international (long haul flights) fashion?
Hi Mary, have a look at our guide for what to wear on a flight for some ideas: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-wear-on-a-plane/ I would also highly recommend that you join our TFG facebook group and post your question there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/travelfashiongirls/ Its a fabulous community of helpful female travelers that have the best advice and recommendations to share. Happy travels! ?✈️
Thank you for keeping us updated on the latest and greatest travel styles and your recommendations for all climates and destinations! Can you suggest a great travel 2-piece dress for our warm Texas climate? Would love to mix and match prices while traveling. Thanks!

I love sleeveless, soft cotton midi dresses with a cardigan or blazer and sneakers. We fly to Italy often, so I like to look decent. I learned my lesson about wide leg pants: They touch the floor when using the bathroom! For that reason, when wearing pants, it’s best to wear skinnies or leggings.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your go-to travel outfit with us, sounds comfortable and stylish!!! Happy travels ?
Thanks for that nugget about the wide leg pants. Will save them for a night out for our trip.
Agree about wide leg pants. Slim or regular leg pants work for flights too.
Loved the article, always looking for ways to add a little style to my airplane standbys. Whose says you can’t look good and fly?
Exactly 😉 Thanks Patti!
Thank you for the wardrobe inspo. The air travel outfit ideas are brilliant!
I always travel in quality knits that will keep their shape. The picture at the top of the article looked very unrealistic. If I was wearing that tucked-in cloth blouse, I’d be a wrinkled, sloppy, uncomfortable mess at the end of a 7+ hour flight. Short hops are one thing, but I’ve yet to see someone look so fresh after a trans-continental flight.
Great point Dot! These outfits are only based on people I saw in London so I can’t really be sure of how long they were traveling. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice!! I loved every one of these outfits.
Thanks Linda!
love the military green outfit! so chic and looks comfy..
Awesome! Glad you found one you like!
My favourite! I always wear a dress…mid calf next time. Cardi, trench, rope low wedge sandals. Soo comfy, smart for any age! Dress is always loose fitting.
Any suggestion on where to get the striped wide-leg pants? The link isn’t working.
Hi Wendy! How about these? http://bit.ly/22T8DMk
Love the pictures of you at St. Pancras Station in London. Love all the outfits but especially the pink ensemble for Paris.
Thank you Claire! 🥰
Can’t wait to get ready and travel light for my upcoming trip to Croatia. Thank you for all the great tips!
I’m definitely a cross between easy comfort, french and rocker chic when I travel. Comfort if key, but I would prefer not to look like a slob.
There are so many comfortable clothes available, no need to go to the airport in sweats 😉
Since I don’t check luggage, my first rule is to wear the heaviest clothes. So for my flight from US to Europe in a few weeks, that means jeans, a sweater, and boots. I wish I could wear yoga pants to facilitate sleeping on the overnight flight!
Why not carry your yoga pants in your carryon and change out of your jeans before you board the flight? Or wear leggings under your jeans and then remove them? 😉
I’m traveling from Alaska to Spain and I would shoot myself if i had to travel in tight uncomfortable, deep vein thrombosis inducing jeans 🙂 Pack lighter and leave your jeans in the carryon. Wear leggings on the plane. The difference in weight is minimal.
Hi Irene, do you dive in Alaska? I ask because of your email 🙂 I love scuba diving so that sounds incredible!
Some lovely outfits esp like the pink. But, I wonder how did they manage , fine on the way out, but what about when they arrived….have you seen how small the plane cubicles are, and how long the impatient queues on board can be when travelling ‘cattle class’?
With the exception of the Glam Globetrotter they all seemed pretty easy to get in and out of. They’re all mostly just a nicer version of jeans and tee 😉
I love to ear comfortable but classy outfit in the plane. I have scored some upgrades a. Because I asked nicely and b. Because I looked like I was a perfect fit for Business or First Class. White London shirt and blazer or trench. Black pants and either nice loafers or boots. A scarf or pashmina. Fresh make up and hair coiffed.
Sounds like the perfect first class look!
LOVE the ideas! The military green outfit is tres chic and I can’t get over that pink coat. <3

Thanks Sara!
I’m the Easy Comfort type, although I really enjoy being all dressed up (especially for short trips). But on a flight, especially a longer one, I prefer to be comfortable…
It would be nice to travel in glamorous outfits like celebrities but how do they deal with the lack of comfort?
Maybe they change into pyjamas for the actual flight?! Not to mention the use of stylists before getting to the arrivals hall of the airport!
My recent autumn/winter travelling outfit of choice is a grey marl jersey dress with 3/4 length sleeves, which I wear with thermal tights (from Marks & Spencer’s) and a merino wool cardigan or sweater. I don’t bother with many accessories when travelling, apart from a scarf – and obviously a coat and gloves/hat if I’m outdoors! This outfit has really worked well for me, even on an uncomfortable overnight long haul flight that was delayed by 3 hours!
Most of the outfits looked pretty comfortable…with the exception of the “Glam Globetrotter” outfit that is! The jewelry, hair, and makeup made the biggest difference from casual to chic. Sounds like we have a similar winter travel outfit – comfortable dress plus tights!
Wish I could find the ARMY Green Dress for the Beach Vacation. It’s EXACTLY what I’ve been lookn for.

The aptly named Cotton Cocoon Cardigan from Jenni Kayne is a great choice when it comes to picking the perfect plane outfit , especially for long-haul flights when you’re craving comfort.

Cozy Earth’s oversized classic cardigan is just as comfortable—albeit much more fashion-forward—as your favorite sweatshirt (you know, the one that you refuse to throw out despite years of wear and tear).

Select from five neutral hues, including Juniper (dark green) and Eclipse (navy).

As such, it’s sure to keep you cozy all year long—that is, without weighing you down. The V-neckline, shawl collar, and all-over ribbing add a fashion-forward flair. Keep it casual by layering over your favorite T-shirt; alternatively, for a slightly more elevated look, opt for a button-down .

This Bonobos cardigan is especially ideal for warmer temps thanks to its lightweight, ultra-breathable construction, which features a blend of linen and cotton. The ribbed material and chunky buttons add a stylish touch, while the patch pockets are surprisingly roomy for hands-free storage of accessories like smartphones, earbuds, and the like.

There’s a lot to love about Splendid’s thermal cardigan: the breezy open-front silhouette, roomy front-patch pockets, attached hood in the event of rain or snow, and the under-$100 price tag. The versatile cardigan, which can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion (think: dark jeans and heels at night, cozy joggers and slip-on shoes during the day), features a durable, stretchy thermal material made with a super-soft blend of cotton, spandex, and modal. Oh, and did we mention it’s machine-washable?

- Best Accessories for Mediterranean Cruise Outfits
Travel + Leisure / Francesca Fasciglione
Despite traveling the world professionally for over a decade, I actually went on my first cruise fairly recently. For my inaugural voyage, I decided to do it up with a seven-night cruise through Greece with Celebrity Cruises , and, boy, am I glad that I did. I loved the variety of activities on board, along with all the stops and sightseeing. You could do as much or as little as you wanted, whether you choose to stay on board or venture off when the ship docks. My husband and I enjoyed exploring Greece's many shops and restaurants, and also equally loved dressing up for the cruise's “evening chic” dinners .
This cruise, like most, was all-inclusive, which took the guesswork out of choosing activities and dining à la carte. But, I can't say I had the same ease with my trip packing list . At first, I was concerned about all the outfits and accessories I wanted to bring, but as a seasoned carry-on-only traveler , I quickly culled down many of my options to these seven must-have Mediterranian cruise outfits, along with carefully curated (and versatile) accessories to match. Plus, you won’t have to spend a fortune to look fashionable - prices start at just $42.
Petal & Pup Devlin Linen Crop Tank
Petal & pup devlin linen wide leg pants.
Breathable fabrics like these cotton separates from Petal & Pup are ideal for Mediterranean cruises because they can be warm during the day and get cooler at night. The crop top is flirty and feminine with a square neckline and the pants have a forgiving elastic waistband. As a carry-on traveler, I’m a huge proponent of matching sets because of their versatility as they can be worn separately to create multiple outfits. Both options are available in two colors, they’re easy to care for during travel; simply hand wash them and lay them flat to dry.
Yexpine Sleeveless Cotton Shirtdress With Ruffle Hem
This cotton-linen blend shirtdress with a flounce hem is a great item to bring on vacations. The flattering silhouette is a half-button front with a swing body that keeps you comfortable while looking stylish and chic. It also works great as a beach cover-up or a tunic layered over leggings. The stand-up collar offers a dressier accent, which made it an excellent choice to wear when we went to the chic Blu Blu Cafe in Mykonos right next to the port. It’s available in seven striking colors; I liked it so much that I purchased the dress in two colors - blue and khaki. Add a belt like this one from Patricia Nash to give the dress more shape for those fancier outings.
Spanx Carefree Crepe Vest Top
Spanx carefree crepe trouser shorts.
Spanx makes some of the best travel clothing , so whenever I’m heading out on an assignment or vacation, I always pack one or two items from the brand. This button-front vest is tailored for a fitted look with faux flap pockets in the brand’s signature machine-washable crepe fabric. Pair it with the matching shorts or the linen bottoms from outfit no. 1 , and you've got yourself a bonafide cruise outfit.
These trouser-style shorts fit like a dream with an easy pull-on design and functional pockets to hold all your essentials. The longer, 6-inch inseam makes it a sophisticated piece that can be worn to elegant restaurants and museums. Match it back to the Trovata blouse listed below to create a cute ensemble for sightseeing during one of your stops. It was my top choice during our stop in Santorini visiting the Archaeological and Folklore Museums. For cooler temps, you might consider Spanx's PerfectFit Ponte Micro Flare Pant , which shapes you in all the right places for a comfortable, elevated, and flattering look.
Meetrendi Floral Midi Dress
This flowy midi-dress is lightweight and offered in 10 beautiful prints perfect for any season or cruise destination. The smocking around the waistline creates a slimming effect and the ruffle sleeves lend to romantic detailing. Made of 100 percent polyester for comfort and stretch, it’s also machine washable. It’s great for casual cruise nights and can even work for date nights and outdoor picnics when you’re not traveling. Also a playful daytime option, I wore it when we docked in Kuşadası, Turkey, and toured the ruins of Ephesus.
Anrabess Matching Two-piece Loungewear Set
Anrabess’ two-piece knitted lounge set is not only ideal for travel days, but it’s also great for morning strolls on the deck, brunch, or a spa day. The crewneck pullover tank features high-low hem details while the bottoms have a comfortable elastic waistband with pleating along the front and back. The pleating is an excellent design attribute, giving them an edge and making them appear more expensive. The top can be paired with the Anrabess linen pants or Mavi’s Kylie High-waist Twill Shorts from outfit no. 6 (see below). They’re available in 17 colors, although the rich brown hue is my favorite. It works great for the transitional season.
Trovata Della Shirt Napoli Stripe
Mavi kylie high waist twill shorts.
Trovata makes some of my favorite printed dresses and also carries a stunning collection of charming tops. This casual short-sleeved shirt is made of 100 percent cotton, which offers ventilation and is suitable for both warm and cooler temperatures. It has shirring accents along the front body and features delicate antique buttons. It also comes in two other prints to help you spice up your cruise looks.
The Kylie High-waist Shorts from Mavi offer a polished look. Made of stretch twill fabric, it has front side pockets along with patch pockets in the back. Match it with the Trovata top for daytime adventures, or pair it with your Spanx Crepe Vest Top from outfit no. 3 for an edgier nighttime look, whether it’s at the ship's casinos or for a live performance.
Grace Karin Sleeveless One-shoulder Sequin Wrap Dress With Slit
I loved getting dressed up for “evening chic” night during our time on Celebrity Cruises. Although the cruise line no longer mandates formal nights, it was fun to get dolled up and dance the night away with my husband. This one-shoulder sequin number was a great find on Amazon. I’m a fan of the side ruching and the self-belt tie. Completely lined on the inside for comfort, it comes in 15 dazzling colors and is available in sizes ranging from S to 2XL. Not a fan of sequins? No problem, take a look at Jamil’s Amra Sari Gown , an elegant one-shoulder dress made from 100 percent satin.
As much as I love coordinating outfits for my travels, I have just as much fun adding the accessories to go with them. In fact, they can even help you expand your outfit options, even when you're working with a limited packing list. Keep scrolling to see the eight must-haves I'd suggest to any carry-on-only traveler.
Best Accessories for Mediterranean Cruise Outfits:
Chicgal chiffon puff-sleeve kimono.
A refined kimono works as an opulent sleepwear robe, a beach cover-up, or a fashionable cardigan. I like to pack this one from Fable England, which is made of 100 percent sustainable wood pulp and feels soft and luxurious when draped on your skin. This affordable option from Amazon is another solid choice; wear it over your Petal & Pup’s Devlin Top and the matching bottoms (or the Spanx combo) to make the classic outfit look brand new.
Hilor One-shoulder One-piece With Asymmetric Ruffle
Finding a flattering swimsuit can be challenging, so I’m here to tell you about Hilor’s One-shoulder Bathing Suit. It has an absolutely amazing fit and comes in 36 colors, ranging from sizes 6 to 18. I recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit, but you'll be in good hands with its mesh paneling, which creates a compression-like smoothness. The swimsuit also has removable bra pads for extra coverage. At $38, compared to other brands, it’s definitely a steal.
Hoka Clifton 9 Running Shoes
Packing a pair of comfy walking shoes is a must for any trip. These are the perfect recovery and all-purpose sneakers. Lightweight, yet supportive, the Clifton 9s are Hoka’s best-selling pair. The brand’s newly launched foam creates a plush interior, allowing for miles of walking with maximum cushion support. These were my go-to shoes for long days of sightseeing and exploring. Being a fitness expert , I also wore them while cross-training in Celebrity Cruises' state-of-the-art gym.
BBjinronjy Clutch-to-Crossbody Bag
This classic clutch was the best bag to bring for my cruise. Not only did I wear it with my casual two-piece loungewear Set , but I also worked well for our “evening chic” nights aboard the ship. At just $15, it's the perfect price to buy in multiple colors, which I did (I got the nude and leopard print ones). The neutral color goes with everything while the print looks great with monochromatic solid colored outfits.
For such a compact bag, it sure does carry a lot of stuff. Measuring 8.6 inches by 1.96 inches by 5.3 inches, it comfortably fits my Samsung Galaxy, two tubes of lipstick, a perfume roller, and a credit card case. If it’s in your budget, splurge on Cuyana’s Mini Double Loop Bag in Cappuccino , which is a similar and stunning bag crafted in soft Italian leather. Despite its sleek size, it also holds a significant amount of essentials.
Vera Bradley Ripstop Packable Tote
Cruise itineraries are often jam-packed, and odds are, you'll be spending a lot of time by the pool, venturing to nearby beaches and parks for outings, or local shops to pick up some souvenirs. If that's the case, I recommend bringing a packable tote like this gorgeously printed Vera Bradley option. It can be your beach bag, shopping tote, or whatever else you need it to be. And when you're done, just fold it up and stick it back in your carry-on or personal bag item (it won't take up any precious space, I promise).
Born Libra Sandals
What I like most about Born’s Libra Sandals is the traction on the outsole. You won’t have to worry about slipping or sliding while in these adorable sandals. The cushioned footbed supports your arches for a day of activities. Choose from four colorways in sizes ranging from 6 to 11. My favorite option is the light gold metallic hue, which is such a pretty neutral color that could be worn with any of the above outfits on both casual and formal occasions.
Lucky Brand Cotton Blend Utility Jacket
A versatile lightweight jacket (like my go-to one Duluth Trading Co. or this all-around cute option from Lucky Brand) is a good idea to bring on a Mediterranean cruise. Even in the summertime, it can get cool at night, so you’ll want something to cover you up and keep you warm. This shirt jacket won me over because it’s made with cotton, offering some cozy softness and comfortable breathability. There are two deep side pockets for stashing your essentials while on the go, making it a functional and versatile piece to pack. I also love the vintage feel of the utility jacket.
Gonex Compression Packing Cube Set
If you haven’t tried compression cubes yet, believe me when I say they’ll change your life. Being a carry-on-only traveler, I rely on Gonex’s packing cubes to fit all my outfits and essentials efficiently. This set comes with four cubes, including small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. Not only do they compress all your belongings so they fit, they help you stay organized during your vacation. No more rifling through your luggage searching for that single item. I put all my day outfits in one cube, my night outfits in another, and so on. You can also organize by categories: tops in one compartment, bottoms in another, etc.
