Some may argue that traveling by plane is an occasion to dress up, but for most of us at Traveler, comfort is the main priority when planning a transit day ensemble: You want something loose enough that you won't need to readjust (or worse, unbutton) a few hours into a flight or road trip, but put-together enough to feel that you've made a switch out of pajamas and into a true outfit. Luckily, there is no shortage of loungewear sets these days.

Read on for 35 of the best loungewear sets to add to your travel wardrobe , many of which are sitting in our editors' dresser drawers. From upscale sweatsuits to cozy cashmere knits, they'll keep you comfy whether you're sitting on a plane, train, or in the passenger seat, and will get a re-wear on lazy vacation days when the only item on your to-do list is lounging around the Airbnb .

The Aerie LumberJane collection has been one of the brand's more popular releases. The collection features breathable, lightweight waffle fabric in shirts, shorts, and now polos. The LumberJane polo and short set are perfect for lazy vacation days spent shuffling around in your slippers . Each piece has raw seams along the sleeves, sides, and back that gives it a more lived-in look.

Buck Mason is at the forefront of elevated essentials. The Vintage Interloop set features an oversized crew that has a relaxed fit all around and thinly ribbed stiching on the cuffs to give more structure to the slouchy sleeves. The French terry sweatpants are slimming and so comfortable. Each set looks slightly different than the other, thanks to Buck Mason's Venice Wash technique that creates its cool, vintage look.

We're always raving about Girlfriend Collective, a size-inclusive, sustainably- and ethically-made brand. This set is made from half recycled, half organic cotton. They're available in your classic neutral colors, as well as this rich wine hue.

Kim Kardashian's shapewear and loungewear brand Skims never misses when it comes to cozy sets. The Cotton Fleece collection is a more sporty take on classic loungewear. The soft fleece shorts have an interior drawstring at the waist for a more customizable fit.

This chic pullover and sweat shorts both don the recognizable Alexander Wang logo. While the set is one of the trendiest pieces on our list, you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how soft the heavy brushed cotton terry is. Style the set with a small crossbody bag and pair of chunky dad sneakers for quick errands or walks around the city.

You can never go wrong with a simple high-waisted pant and tank top combo. The Anrabess sleeveless set is lightweight and thin, making it supremely packable in any weekender bag or carry-on. At just $30, it is one of the most affordable loungewear sets on our list.

Is there anything easier than throwing on a jumpsuit? Spanx AirEssentials jumpsuit is one of the brand's bestsellers—and it's just been restocked in more colors. We love the drawstring tie at the waist that gives the jumpsuit a more fitted and flattering look.

Traveler 's commerce producer, Paris Wilson , swears by Roots' loungewear. “I've been raving about Roots for years. It's hard to find a brand that doesn't skimp on quality,” she says. The Luxe Crew and Pintuck pant are made from a cotton and cashmere blend. While the material gives it a more chic look, the fit of the set is more relaxed and loose. This can easily be dressed up or down, and would look great with a sleek pair of white sneakers .

The loose fit of the Ramona sweatshirt compliments the brand's drawstring waist Jane shorts. The rouched terry fabric on the inside of each garment keeps you warm and cozy without overheating. As warmer days approach, the yellow dip-dye design is a must-have for your spring and summer wardrobe .

If you're looking for a more polished look, the Malibu set is for you. The set is made up of the Frank & Eileen Audrey Capelet and the Catherine Sweatpant . Each piece is made from 100 percent cotton triple fleece, making it incredibly soft. It's the perfect set for a long road trip or a chilly plane.

The Cool Stretch collection from Pact is made from breathable organic cotton. The soft, thin layers are a go-to summer fit when temperatures are high and you just want to chill inside. The tank top and shorts set comes in seven colorways and can be paired with Pact's Airplane cardigan or a cozy hoodie .

If you prefer something a little more roomy, the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant set from This is J is for you. It’s perfect for long-haul flights and road trips where comfort is at the top of your list, but you don’t want to step out in your pajamas. The soft, moisture-wicking fabric will keep you dry and comfortable whether you’re snuggled up on a train or plane.

This set is made for cold weather. The thick fabric will keep you warm and toasty whether you’re hanging inside with friends or out sightseeing. The top has a dropped shoulder sleeve that looks more oversized while the pants feature a wide-leg with a drawstring waist.. The set comes in 10 solid colors that are easy to pair with a slip-on sneaker or Ugg boots .

The soft ribbed knit of the Muse hoodie and sweatpant offers a lot of dimension to the duo. The set is lightweight enough that it can be worn over workout clothes without any bulkiness. The high-waisted joggers pair well with the cropped hoodie and offer a more chic silhouette.

You’ll be comfortable from head to toe with this ultra-soft pullover and pant set. The pants have a classic ‘70s wide-leg silhouette accompanied by an elastic waistband, while the pullover has a polo-inspired collar and a slightly cropped hem. An all-white set never goes out of style and will look great with a white sneaker .

The name tells you everything you need to know. The Coziest Cashmere Blend hoodie and jogger are ultra-soft. The fabric is warm yet breathable and the fact that it’s a blend gives you peace of mind that it won’t be ruined in the washing machine.

Traveler editors swear by Lunya's washable silk pajamas and cashmere Travel Set . The brand’s Silksweats complete its holy trinity of comfort. With a sherpa interior and thermoregulating abilities, you'll be comfortable without overheating in this set. Bonus: Both pieces are reversible so you can have two looks for one.

There's something to be said for a zip-up sweatshirt, even if they've largely been replaced by pullovers of late. For one, if your temperature flips from chilly to warm, you can regulate without bothering your seatmate while trying to take off your hoodie. We're a fan of the sweatpants, too: the deep pockets, cuffed ankles, and cashmere fabric are all plusses.

A new addition to OV's ultra-soft, lightweight, and durable CloudKnit line-up : this boxy T-shirt with a slightly cropped fit. It comes in charcoal, navy, mocha, fog white, and jasmine blue, all of which will match your go-to black leggings or joggers .

Awarded one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2020, I was eager to put on Cozy Earth's ultra-soft joggers, and am happy to report they lived up to the hype. Made of a mix of premium viscose from bamboo, acrylic, and spandex, they're smooth and cool to the touch, and have a loose but not baggy fit. I've worn them a ton on WFH days, and would happily fly in them. Snag a matching pullover if you like the matching set look.

San Francisco–based Quince launched a maternity collection, which includes a nursing-friendly long sleeve and lounge joggers with an adjustable drawstring waistband. All of the collection's pieces are made with renewable materials like Tencel lyocell, a biodegradable fiber made from wood pulp; mulberry silk, a hypoallergenic and thermoregulating fabric; the company's SuperSoft fabric, a blend of recycled polyester and tencel; and sustainably- and humanely-sourced Mongolian cashmere.

Outdoor Voices’ All Day hoodie and sweatpants set really is made to wear from dusk to dawn. It aims to be the softest pair of sweats you will ever wear, and stacks up, with a CloudKnit fabric that feels as cozy as your most worn-in pair of pajamas. The sweatpants are high-rise and more fitted toward the bottom to give the most flattering look possible, too. The pieces can be bought individually and come in six different colors, from neutral charcoal to a rich Kalamata purple.

While former Traveler editor Jessica Puckett's favorite cashmere set has since sold out, Cuyana's Pima outfit is another great option for plane travel and lounging, particularly in warmer environments, as the material is soft, smooth, and breathable.

Former Traveler editor Corina Quinn turned us on to Vuori's DreamKnit Collection hoodie and jogger set. “The DreamKnit feels like a cloud—it's so soft and cozy, yet lightweight, so you don't get too hot or too cool in them,” she says. “On top of that, because there are a few different models of jogger pants and tops, my friends and I have all found a model that's flattering for us.” For a pair of sweats that make you feel like you’re wearing a real outfit without actually doing so, Vuori’s unbelievably soft, stretchy sets are an easy pick.

Friend + Folk is a size- and gender-inclusive brand that prioritizes a limited carbon footprint, and puts it into practice by way of free carbon neutral shipping, recyclable and plastic-free packaging, limited batch-production, and more. The Joon joggers are a favorite—the fit is roomy and comfortable yet still tailored, and the zippered pockets are ideal for stashing AirPods, lip balm, and other odds and ends without worrying they'll fall out as you dash through the airport. Pair them with the Perry pullover and you've got a new airport uniform.

Lululemon may be best known for its leggings and workout wear, but don't skip over the brand's loungewear. This set is made out of a smooth Softstreme material that is stretchy and feels smooth against your skin. It's a great loungewear set to wear if you run hot.

We love this Madewell number, made of a fleece-like Superbrushed terry fabric. Wide legs and a loose fit make it just the kind of thing we want to wear on long travel days, and the patch pockets are much appreciated. Since it does have tank top-style straps, bring a cardigan or other added layer for the plane.

Some loungewear is better suited for inside wear, like this cozy ribbed shorts set. Wear the pullover, with its bell sleeves and slit in the back, over leggings for long-haul flights. The stretchy shorts have a fairly short inseam, so they'll likely be more comfortable as a sleeping short or loungewear piece to change into when you arrive at your hotel or rental house.

This two-piece set might be the closest thing to sleepwear on this list, and yet is still cute enough to feel confident while wearing through the airport. It comes in a dozen colors, from basic heather gray to bold indigo blue, and pairs slouchy, relaxed fit pants with a scoop-neck button-up henley.

Sure, all sweatpants are designed to be comfortable, but the cotton, modal, and spandex fabric Knix uses takes things up a notch. The smooth, cooling, and slightly stretchy fabric feels fantastic against skin and looks a bit more put-together than typical sweatpant material.

Image may contain: Clothing, Apparel, Dress, Human, Person, and Pants

Most loungewear tends to follow the same cut, so we appreciate Monos, a luggage brand , shaking things up when delving into clothing. This set is as soft as any sweatpants out there, with a mid-length wide-leg pant and a short sleeve V-neck tee that's just slightly cropped.

Image may contain: Clothing, Apparel, and Pants

Anything labeled Signaturesoft nails both the rest day and flying-comfortably mood we're going for. The top and bottom have a streamlined shape and the sweatpants are tapered at the ankle. Both pieces are made of a comfortable rayon, acrylic, and spandex mix, so you’ll feel cozy while still looking put together. The sweatshirt and sweatpants can be purchased individually and come in nearly a dozen colors should you want to mix and match, and the sweatshirt passes the video-conferencing-chic test, in that it looks more like a standard sweater than workout wear.

Image may contain: Clothing, Apparel, Pajamas, Human, and Person

Not a hoodie person? You might like this cowl-neck top, which comes with cropped pants, both made of a super soft jersey and spandex fabric. Shop the set in gray, sky blue, strawberry, or buttercream, and wear it on your next overnight flight to feel like you're in pajamas.

You may never want to put on pajamas again after wearing Softwear's Lounge Set. The fabric is buttery soft inside and out. Both the pullover and joggers are tailored and fitted with a clean silhouette—the top could pass for a normal sweater—while still being ultra soft. Plus, it’s long-lasting: The sustainable fabric is pilling-resistant and made to keep its shape after every wear.

Made for pregnant or nursing moms, this Everly Grey set is designed to fit a baby bump and make nursing easier with side openings on the top. Made of stretchy fabric with cuffed ankles and wrists and pockets on the hips, it's a loose, ever-so-slightly tailored look you'll wear again and again. Order it in one of four neutral colors: black, charcoal, oyster pink, or denim blue.

Spanx AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants

AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants

Sometimes nothing less than sweats will do, and here is where Spanx really excels. Oprah picked these for her 2022 Favorite Things , saying, “You might know Spanx for its shapewear, but it also does fantastic cozy clothes. When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding. It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”

Vuori Elevation Trouser in Midnight Heather

Elevation Trouser in Midnight Heather

Vuori is celebrated for its super-cozy pieces. The best thing about these pants? They look put together while the stretch-knit fabric is as comfy as your favorite Vuori loungers. The high-rise waist and loose fit of the leg give you an effortlessly stylish silhouette.

J. Crew Cashmere-Wool Travel Wrap

Cashmere-Wool Travel Wrap

Let's be honest, you can't always count on the airline's blankets to keep you warm, and some even leave annoying fluff behind. Stay warm and stylish with your own wearable blanket by way of this travel necessity from J. Crew that comes in eight different colors.

Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket Legging

Compressive Pocket Legging

Leggings are a perfect choice for traveling wear. And these have Oprah's seal of approval, as they were picked for Oprah's 2022 Favorite Things list. Eco-friendly and size-inclusive (the range goes through 6XL), these compression leggings are available in a plethora of hues. Plus, they feature double-side seaming and pockets.

Chico's Travelers No Tummy Pants

Travelers No Tummy Pants

Chico's Travelers collection is made from wrinkle-resistant fabrics in comfortable silhouettes. Thanks to a pull-on waist and front darts, these No Tummy Pants are flattering and always look put together. If red isn't your vibe, they come in three other colors as well as the bestselling wide-leg Hutton pants in black.

Dr. Scholl's Time Off Platform Sneakers

Time Off Platform Sneakers

Celebrated for their consciously comfortable footwear, these sneakers from Dr. Scholl's are tricked out with tons of features for all-day comfort. Inside, anatomical cushioning and arch support keep you covered while a lightweight, anti-slip platform sole protects on the outside. This minimalist sneaker looks just as good with a matching suit as it does a low-key sweat set.

Athleta Everlasting Button-Down Top

Everlasting Button-Down Top

A classic button-down is a travel essential that elevates any in-transit look. Athleta's Everlasting button-down has all the details you need: a lightweight, odor-control stretch fabric and longer length for coverage. Luckily, you can cover all your neutral bases with navy, black, and white. Plus, it comes in an extended range of sizes from XXS to 3X.

Hoka Transport GTX Sneakers

Transport GTX Sneakers

Hoka's sneakers are cult Oprah Daily office favorites and podiatrist-approved . Not only do they look good with just about everything, but the Transport GTX also offer quick-toggle lacing for an easy on-off, as well as a full-length EVA midsole for the highest level of cushioning and arch support.

Dr. Motion Compression Socks with Enhanced Cushioning (3 Pack)

Compression Socks with Enhanced Cushioning (3 Pack)

Compression socks are always a good ideal for traveling. We recommend these styles from Dr. Motion that offer graduated compression of 8 to 15 mmHg while providing arch support. Unlike other socks that can feel scratchy or clammy, these are soft, moisture-wicking, and subtly cushioned.

Everlane Organic Cotton Honeycomb Cardigan

Organic Cotton Honeycomb Cardigan

This gorgeous honeycomb cotton cardigan is part of the latest iteration of Everlane Editions: The Art of Spring Layering. Crafted from responsibly sourced and lower-impact materials, this 100 percent organic cotton knit is ideal for layering before, during, and after your flight.

32º DEGREES Lightweight Recycled Poly-Fill Shirt Jacket

Lightweight Recycled Poly-Fill Shirt Jacket

Sometimes a full on coat is not needed for travel, but you can never be quite sure of the weather. That's why a a little packable shacket—part shirt, part jacket—comes in. In black, olive green, or dark blue, the jacket will be your go-to for travel. Keep in mind, it runs slightly big in order to allow for comfortable layering of hoodies or sweaters underneath. There's a reason why Oprah tapped it on her Favorite Things list .

JW PEI Aylin Canvas Cellphone Crossbody Bag

Asutra Silk Eye Mask & Pillow

Silk Eye Mask & Pillow

Oprah chose this eye mask for her 2023 Favorite Things list. "Sleeping with a mask is life-changing—I cannot tell you how much the quality of my sleep has improved," she said. "This weighted 100 percent silk one stays down and doesn’t let even a pinch of light in.” Co-owned by superstar Venus Williams, Asustra produces eye pillows that are filled with lavender and flax. Whether you want to meditate or snooze during your flight, this adjustable mask will definitely relax you.

Some may argue that travelling by plane is an occasion to dress up, but for most of us at Traveller, comfort is the main priority when planning a transit day ensemble. You want something loose enough that you won't need to readjust (or worse, unbutton) a few hours into a flight or road trip , but put-together enough to feel that you've made a switch out of pyjamas and into a true outfit. Luckily, there is no shortage of loungewear sets these days.

Read on for 21 of the best loungewear sets to add to your travel wardrobe, many of which are sitting in our editors' dresser drawers. From upscale sweatsuits to cosy cashmere knits, they'll keep you comfy whether you're sitting on a plane, train , or in the passenger seat, and will get a re-wear on lazy holiday days when the only item on your to-do list is lounging around the Airbnb .

We love Pangaia at Traveller : the uber-cool clothing brand taking a science-oriented approach towards creating quality, versatile pieces that are stylish, environmentally-friendly and made to last. Last year, its flower-filled down jacket was one of our winter staples, and its tracksuit is now on perma-rotation in my wardrobe. The quality is beautiful, it washes far better than typical high street counterparts and is soft enough to keep you comfortable on even the most arduous long haul flights. I like the colour range too – there's bound to be one that catches your eye. Charley Ward, commerce writer

Gently crinkled fabric elevates this from home-wear to an airport-appropriate look. With a loose fitting design, it'll both keep you comfy on long flights and ensure you won't start sweating as soon as you disembark into hotter climes. It's made from fully recycled polyester and, as the leg length runs long, it's a good option for taller ladies.

Nothing's more luxurious to travel in than cashmere: super soft, breathable and always stylish, even in its most casual incarnations. All at The White Company is certified by The Good Cashmere Standard®, so you know you're getting something a bit special. These joggers have a smart ribbed finish, and the hoodie has roomy raglan sleeves, ensuring maximum breathability in a stuffy aeroplane cabin.

Mango has created the perfect neutral travel set: slightly oversized, with an elasticated drawstring waistline and straight leg bottoms, for a look that's chicer than your average at a very reasonable price.

If you're just not the type to leave the house in joggers, we understand. These Hush hybrid trousers strike a perfect balance between feeling like ‘real clothes’ while retaining the hallmarks of loungewear (elasticated waist, loose-fitting draped material). The slightly smarter look makes them great for sight-seeing days too.

Uniqlo's stretchy, sweat-wicking Airism range will see you through airport days to pilates class to errand runs stylishly, thanks to the brand's signature clean lines and always flattering cuts. There are a selection of matching t-shirts, but we like this oversized crew the best for travelling.

Imagine being wrapped in a big fluffy towel, but stylishly: that's what you get with this Me + Em co-ord. Towelling isn't a go-to for warm weather outfits, usually, but this set pairs a silky, fluid feel with a midweight fabric and wide-leg trousers, making this set equally suited for the plane and warmer weather alike.

Image may contain: Clothing, Shorts, Coat, Fleece, Knitwear, and Sweater

The Aerie LumberJane collection has been one of the US brand's more popular releases. The collection features breathable, lightweight waffle fabric in shirts, shorts, and now polos. The LumberJane polo and short set are perfect for lazy days spent shuffling around in your slippers. Each piece has raw seams along the sleeves, sides, and back that gives it a more lived-in look.

We're always raving about Girlfriend Collective, a size-inclusive, sustainably- and ethically-made brand. This set is made from half recycled, half organic cotton. They're available in your classic neutral colours, as well as this cheery blue hue.

Image may contain: Clothing, Knitwear, Sweater, Sweatshirt, Hoodie, Adult, Person, and Shorts

Kim Kardashian's shapewear and loungewear brand Skims never misses when it comes to cosy sets. The Cotton Fleece collection is a more sporty take on classic loungewear. The soft fleece shorts have an interior drawstring at the waist for a more customisable fit.

Image may contain: Clothing, Long Sleeve, Sleeve, Fleece, Knitwear, Sweater, and Sweatshirt

This chic pullover and sweat shorts both don the recognisable Alexander Wang logo. While the set is one of the trendiest pieces on our list, you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how soft the heavy brushed cotton terry is. Style the set with a small crossbody bag and pair of chunky dad sneakers for quick errands or walks around the city.

Image may contain: Fashion, Clothing, and Pajamas

Image may contain: Clothing, Pants, Adult, Person, and Pajamas

If you prefer something more roomy, the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant set from This is J is for you. It’s perfect for long-haul flights and road trips where comfort is at the top of your list, but you don’t want to step out in your pyjamas. The soft, moisture-wicking fabric will keep you dry and comfortable whether you’re snuggled up on a train or plane.

Former Traveller editor Corina Quinn turned us on to Vuori's DreamKnit Collection hoodie and jogger set. “The DreamKnit feels like a cloud – it's so soft and cosy, yet lightweight, so you don't get too hot or too cool in them,” she says. “On top of that, because there are a few different models of jogger pants and tops, my friends and I have all found a model that's flattering for us.” For a pair of sweats that make you feel like you’re wearing a real outfit without actually doing so, Vuori’s unbelievably soft, stretchy sets are an easy pick.

Lululemon may be best known for its leggings and workout wear, but don't skip over the brand's loungewear. This set is made out of a smooth Softstreme material that is stretchy and feels smooth against your skin. It's a great loungewear set to wear if you run hot.

We love this Madewell number, made of a fleece-like Superbrushed terry fabric. Wide legs and a loose fit make it just the kind of thing we want to wear on long travel days, and the patch pockets are much appreciated. Since it does have tank top-style straps, bring a cardigan or other added layer for the plane.

This two-piece set might be the closest thing to sleepwear on this list, and yet is still cute enough to ensure you feel confident while wearing through the airport. It comes in a dozen colours, from basic heather grey to bold indigo blue, and pairs slouchy, relaxed fit pants with a scoop-neck button-up henley.

I Cracked the Code to the Perfect Travel Outfit

knit-sets-for-travel-266412-1621628034872-main

The elusive "perfect travel outfit"—it's something we've discussed, debated, and broken down quite a bit before. What does an effortless yet polished and, above all else, comfy travel outfit really look like, and why does it seem nearly impossible to accomplish ? Non-stretch high-rise jeans are out of the question, no matter how long you're in transit. On the other hand, it's this writer's opinion that wearing straight-up leggings isn't the most stylish option. Though, I'll admit it may be the comfiest.

After countless flights and thousands of miles flown, I think I've finally found the answer to the travel-outfit conundrum: knit sets . The matching sweater-and-pants sets just might be the stylish solution to all those times you wore  sweatpants but ended up feeling less than put-together upon arrival. With so many fun, colorful sets to choose from right now, there's no reason not to feel ultra-comfy when you're traveling. (They make pretty great loungewear , too.) We love them styled with simple white sneakers and a few dainty jewelry staples. From rainbow stripes to cheery colors and clean neutrals, shop the coolest knit sets below.

These travel outfit ideas include plenty of wardrobe essentials you'll use while at home or away anyway. Think: the best joggers , high-waisted leggings , loungewear sets , and a go-to tee you'll want to wear every single day. There are great straight-to-the-office outfits, too, if you're headed right to a meeting from the airport. Of course, we also included travel must-haves like compression socks and a silk sleep mask for long plane rides.

Everything here can easily be rolled up and tucked into a bag, too. Maybe you don't need that wrap in the warm weather outside, but you'll step inside to the freezing cold air conditioning and thank yourself for being prepared. No matter where you go, remember that life is all about the journey, not the destination. You might as well look and feel good all the while. So grab these smart travel outfit ideas and bon voyage! ✈️

These rank at the top of best jogger lists because they truly are that comfortable. The fabric is super soft and the semi-relaxed fit lets you move around with ease. With over a dozen colors to choose from, you can go basic with black or gray or pick your favorite color. Either way, you'll never want to take them off.

This tee is a one-size-fits-most powerhouse. It's oversized without looking sloppy and has comfy 3/4-length sleeves and high side slits for a fashionable touch. The 100% cotton slub fabric is airy and light, making it perfect for wearing loose, tucked in at the front, or knotted at the hip. You'll want one in every color!

If you tend to get a little chilly when the air conditioning hits, you need something to lay over your shoulders and arms. Enter: this stunning cashmere and silk blend scarf! You can wear it as is, draped over your outfit, or as a scarf under a jacket.

If you need an extra layer but prefer sleeves, go with an open cardigan style. This wrap is made of breathable, stretchy fabric and it has pockets! It also comes in over a dozen colors and is available in sizes XXS to 3X in regular, petite, and tall lengths.

You can absolutely splurge on an expensive pair of leggings if you live for that kind of comfort. But when Amazon has a buttery soft pair for under $25, that means you can buy an extra one for when you get to where you're going, too. With over 20 color options, you'll have plenty of outfits to coordinate.

The great thing about a dress is you can go straight to the beach or brunch as soon as you arrive to your destination. This one is made of a soft jersey knit blend with a tie waist that you can make as tight or as loose as you want. The fabric also has UPF protection so you really can wear it straight to the sand!

A casual look just isn't quite complete without a go-to hoodie. Reformation offers an oversized yet stylish option, available in a neutral almond shade and basic black. It pairs perfectly with their boyfriend sweatpant for a matching set, but will also go with everything you have in your closet.

If you want to buy a matching set to coordinate, this option makes the list of best loungewear because of the 17,000-plus reviews, 25-plus color options, and soft, stretchy fabric. Tuck in the front of the top and scrunch up the cuffs on the bottom a little bit for a super trendy look.

Oh, you want more matching stuff, you say? How about this four-piece set? It comes with super soft cotton/modal blend reversible tank, turtleneck tunic, pants, and a duster. You'll also get a travel pouch to hold them all...so it's actually a five-piece set!

Sometimes the problem with traveling from one place to another is the drastic change in the weather. Go prepared with a packable jacket. This bestseller is water-resistant, has a hood, and wraps into a tiny little pouch for easy storage. It's also available in ten other colors!

Dr. Scholl's Knee-High Compression Socks

Dr. Scholl's Knee-High Compression Socks

If you're getting on a plane, compression socks will work wonders for your circulation, especially on long trips. The mild compression keeps them comfortable on your calves, so you don't feel like you're wearing a medical device. They also keep your feet comfy if you've got to trek through the airport.

The Perfect Pant

The Perfect Pant

Does the perfect pant exist? Spanx sure thinks so! This high-waisted flare has four-way stretch, hidden shaping technology, and doesn't have a pesky zipper or button. Just pull them on and you're ready to go from travel to meeting in no time. Oh, and they are machine washable, too.

Untuckit Button-Down Shirt

Untuckit Button-Down Shirt

If you need a dress shirt to go with your pants, look no further than this wrinkle-free, stretch cotton button-down. It also features button placement that avoids those dreaded open gaps you might get on other shirts.

Kizik Lima Sneaker

Kizik Lima Sneaker

With extra cushy foam outsoles and a breathable knit construction, you'll be able to wear these everywhere from errands to travel to checking out the sights on vacation. The best part? Though they have laces, they are actually slip-on shoes!

Silk Sleep Mask

Silk Sleep Mask

Catching some z's is tough when you're en route. Block out the light in comfort with a silk sleep mask. Not only will it give your eyes a rest, but silk does wonders for your skin. So, you don't have to worry about weird creases on your face when you wake up.

Travel Outfits: How to Look Chic When You’re Flying

travel outfits

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

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.

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.

' src=

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!)

1. Designer-Inspired Travel Outfit Set

Monochrome travel outfit

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.

travel outfits sweatsuit

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

Cute Travel Outfit

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

Amazon Travel Outfit

(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

Travel outfits for women

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

travel outfits

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

cute travel outfits

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

travel outfits

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

cute travel outfits

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

travel outfits for women

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

Travel outfit Ideas

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

trench coat travel outfit

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

Travel outfit Ideas

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

Amazon Leggings

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

travel outfit pants

@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.

black weekender bag amazon

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.

amazon carry on bag

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.

belt bag amazon

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

Adidas Travel Sneakers

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

New Balance 574 sneakers

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

yankee baseball hat

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

Oversized scarf

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.

The 7 Best Travel Outfits According to Our Readers

Do you tend to reach for one outfit all the time in your closet? The same can be said for travel outfits. Our readers share their recommendations for the all time best travel outfits so you can feel comfortable and chic wherever you go. Find out what they said!

The Best Travel Outfits

As you can guess from our name, we’re all about traveling fashionably while still staying comfortable and weather-appropriate. We’re also big on capsule wardrobes and packing minimally.

With this in mind, we asked our readers the ultimate question:

If you could only wear one outfit every single day for an entire trip, what would it be?

Here’s what our readers say are the best travel outfits:

best travel set outfit

Cardigan | Top | Bag | Sunglasses | Earrings | Skirt | Lipstick | Flats

Feminine Chic

“ A sleeveless top, cardigan, black skirt, and ballet flats . I think that could be dressed up or down for most of my activities.”

If you prefer dresses and skirts to pants, this is a great travel outfit idea for summer or warmer spring and fall seasons. This type of outfit can easily be dressed up or down, so you can take it from day or night.

For cooler seasons, swap the sleeveless top for a sweater and add tights. Another reader recommended adding a scarf to this look for a pop of color or warmth.

best travel set outfit

Backpack | Boots | Dress | Lipstick | Leggings | Necklace | Palette

Winter Romance

“ Merino wool dress or tunic, black leggings, necklace, and ankle boots. ”

When we envision strolling down the old cobblestone streets of Europe, we think of this outfit. There’s nothing more comfy and cozy yet chic and sophisticated as a dress with tights and boots.

Even if you don’t normally wear dresses, a merino tunic with leggings is a nice alternative, and is comfy enough for plane rides while stylish enough for a dinner at a nice restaurant.

For ankle boots, go for a flat heel if you plan on walking a lot, or a short heel for dressier occasions.

You can still pack your light  in a small suitcase even when you travel in winter by using packing cubes to compress your clothing as shown in this video !

best travel set outfit

Hat | Jeans | Sunglasses | Bag | Top | Earrings | Sandals | Lipstick | Sunscreen | Cardigan

Beachside Casual

“ My distressed girlfriend jeans, a white or black tee, long open cardigan, and my flip flops !”

As much as dressing up is fun, there’s nothing better than jeans and a tee. Girlfriend jeans are the most comfortable jeans style. To keep from looking sloppy, go for a slimmer fitting tee.

When you’re by the beach or in locations like Florida or Southern California, take along a duster cardigan for warmth and flip flops for shoes.

And if you aren’t a fan of jeans, another reader recommended swapping denim pants for a maxi skirt.

best travel set outfit

Top  | Scarf | Longsleeve | Bag | Earrings |  Leggings  | Spray |  Boots

Airplane Comfort

“ Comfy leggings, a soft material t-shirt, ankle boots, and my Icebreaker long-sleeve shirt layered over the t-shirt in case it gets cold.”

Planes are notoriously horrible in terms of temperature. Sometimes it’s freezing, while other times it’s stuffy and hot. This outfit is the perfect solution.

We recommend workout-type leggings, which help you keep a steadier body temperature. The t-shirt will keep you comfy if it gets warm. If it’s cold, layer with the long-sleeve shirt.

Ankle boots will keep your feet warm, too. For an easier trip through security, go for a slip-on or zip style bootie so you can quickly slip them on or off. Or, pull on some compression socks for comfort.

best travel set outfit

Cardigan  | Watch |  Top  |  Earrings  | Sunglasses | Shoes |  Bag  |  Jeans

Sporty and Stylish

“ Jeans, a tee, a boyfriend cardigan, and Superga tennis shoes .”

So many readers recommended the ultimate three-piece outfit formula: jeans, a tee, and sneakers. One recommended black jeans with a white v-neck tee for classic sophistication. Or, go for more colorful options if you’re traveling to South America, Spain, or another location known for color.

When it gets cool, layer with a boyfriend cardigan or an open chambray button down top.

And for sneakers, we can’t get enough of Superga . White is perfect for a preppy style, while black or grey is great if you’re worried about getting them dirty.

best travel set outfit

Bracelet | Sunglasses | Sandals | Dress | Lip Balm | Necklace |  Bag

Fashion Meets Function

“If I had to choose just one outfit, I’d go for a simple black dress and Birkenstocks with my favorite leather fringe necklace .”

A black dress is the perfect combination of fashion and function. Black never goes out of style, and you can go longer without washing it. You can easily transform it with jewelry and scarves.

As for shoes, we love Birkenstocks! They’re the comfiest sandals with amazing support. There are so many styles, too, so there’s something for everyone.

best travel set outfit

Blouse | Coat | Scarf | Lipstick |  Bag  | Flats | Pants

Classic Sophistication

“ Black ankle-length pants, a white button down blouse, ballet flats, a trench coat and silk scarf .”

When you’re traveling to France or Italy, what better than to take a styling cue from Audrey Hepburn! A white-button down is always a classic option, and there are a number of non-ironing styles, too.

Another reader recommended this same outfit but swapped the flats for loafers and the black pants for dark skinny jeans.

Eunice

I find it almost impossible to withstand the cold (-2-10), specifically in England, by wearing tights under a dress. I’ve tried thermal with jeans, freezing cold still. I’ve tried fleece lined pants, still very cold. I pair them with tall leather boots. I’m allergic to wool, so wool base layer is out. What can I do to keep my legs warm if I choose to wear tights? I was thinking thermal under the dress, but then I’ll bulk up and the “look” isn’t quite going to be there. ?

Alex

Hi Eunice, thanks for your question! For other options please take a look at these posts for some ideas: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/tights-for-women/ https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/how-to-pack-for-cold-weather/ https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/how-to-pack-for-cold-weather/ Hope this helps 🙂

Thank you, Alex. I’ve been following your page for sometime now and have benefitted greatly from the articles I’ve read. This is still very tricky for me. What I meant is that if I still choose to wear a woollen dress, yet still feel freezing cold with fleece lined tights, do you think it’ll work if I wear another layer of thermal under the tights? Wouldn’t that bulk up, hence less attractive looking? I don’t have ultra slim legs to begin with ?

Hi Eunice, If you’re wearing a dress I’d wear a pair of regular black tights under a pair of fleece or warm leggings. It’s warmer than you’d think :). Hope this helps!

Sue martin

I’m going premium flight to Barbados and I want to wear a dress with 3” wedges, I’ll change my footwear for the flight. I’m 5’1 and size 16. I’m aware that I’m limited but I’m going to find a creaseless fabric probably navy spot or tan. I fancy midi length. Have you any ideas please? I’m 61 years of age but still like to dress trendy.

Hi Sue, thank you for your question. Have a look at this article for some different options for dresses: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/cute-summer-dresses-for-women/ I would 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 of all ages that have the best advice and recommendations to share. Hope this helps. Have an amazing trip! ?

I Shop for a Living, and These Are the 11 Best Comfy Travel Clothes Deals for the Weekend — Up to 70% Off

Keep reading for can’t-miss deals on Vuori, Alo Yoga, and more.

As a shopping and travel writer, I’ve practically made it my life’s mission to build a wardrobe around comfortable loungewear and athleisure pieces. As such, one of my all-time favorite hobbies is browsing through my favorite retailers for cozy outfits I can imagine myself lounging around the house in, going for a hot girl walk in, and of course, wearing on flights. This weekend, my browsing is leading to actual purchases because my favorite brands (like REI , Lululemon , Alo Yoga , Abercrombie , and Everlane ) are offering up to 70 perfect off comfortable travel clothes for a limited time. 

And because I’m your in-house resident shopping expert, I spent hours going through the thousands of deals across the web to present you the best 11 comfortable loungewear and athleisure deals in terms of style, quality, and of course, savings. Deals start at just $23, so if I were you, I’d get scrolling to shop the best deals on comfortable travel pants , athletic dresses , skorts , and more.

Alo Yoga Airlift Fly Dress

Buy on aloyoga.com

Tenniscore is absolutely in, and what better way to embrace this trend than with this stunning athletic dress from celeb-loved brand Alo Yoga ? On sale in this universally flattering plum color, this dress can be sported to the courts, running errands, and even to the airport (especially if you want the unofficial title of best-dressed). Athletic dresses are the perfect garment to throw on during the hotter months, and even better this one is designed with a built-in bra so it’s one less thing to worry about.

Patagonia Baggies Shorts 

I did a deep dive on the /BuyItForLife subreddit a few months ago and found that wide and far, travelers are absolutely enamored with Patagonia as one of the “most reliable outdoor clothing brands” that “lasts forever and is made well.” Since then, I’ve been trying to add as many items from the brand as possible to my travel wardrobe, so when I saw these water-repellent baggy shorts on sale for $41, I knew I had to have them immediately. They’re an absolute warm-weather must, so if I were you, I’d add them to your cart before they inevitably sell out. 

Beyond Yoga Spacedye High-waisted Biker Shorts

Designed with a super butter-soft material and flattering high-rise fit, these wear-everywhere biker shorts from Travel + Leisure editor-loved brand Beyond Yoga are just what your travel wardrobe needs this season. I personally love biker shorts; they’re the spring and summer’s equivalent of leggings with their flexible and compressive fit that keeps everything in place when you're on the go (or settling into a long-haul flight). And this specific pair happens to be sporting a 30 percent discount this weekend. 

Lululemon Stretch High-rise Wide-leg Pants

Buy on shop.lululemon.com

Lululemon is known for its top-rated, travel-ready activewear and accessories that we can’t get enough of at T+L . And although there are plenty of must-buy items in the retailer’s “ We Made Too Much ” section, I’ll never miss an opportunity to add an incredibly soft pair of the brand's pants to my closet. I’m a sucker for anything that I can wear while lounging around the house and during travel, and between these pants' supremely soft material, high-rise design, and flowy fit, they’re a can’t-miss item to shop this weekend. 

Abercrombie YPB SculptLux Strappy-back Onesie

Buy on abercrombie.com

Lately, my go-to retailer for comfortable travel clothes is Abercrombie — more specifically, the brand’s activewear line: YPB. It can be a challenge to find quality and comfortable athleisure pieces that both look and feel good, but everything that I’ve tried from the brand has been an absolute knock out of the park. And right now I’m picturing myself frolicking around in this strappy onesie everywhere from the pilates studio to window shopping IRL. I personally love onesies for their comfort and have been able to style them with cardigans, flannels, and more to make them more versatile in my wardrobe. 

Abercrombie YPB SculptLux Curvelove ⅞-Length Leggings

Shoppers have dubbed these leggings from Abercrombie as “the best workout leggings,” expressing that they are “super compressive, soft, and very flattering.” I have more pairs of black leggings than I can count, so I’m super intrigued by this color block pair to add a bit of spice to my styling routine. I encourage you to do the same, considering they’re on special sale for $23 for a limited time. 

Everlane The Cloud Oversized Cardigan 

Buy on everlane.com

To say that I’m a fan of cardigans would be an understatement. I'm utterly obsessed with these versatile layering garments that add a bit of extra warmth to any outfit, and sometimes I’ll even roll mine up into a ball and use it as a neck rest for flights and commutes. I love everything from Everlane, so when I saw they discounted this stylish cardigan a shocking 70 percent, my jaw nearly hit the floor. Cardigans are a year-round must for me, so this textured version will be more than welcomed to my wardrobe. 

Vuori Colorblock Corset Jumpsuit

Buy on vuoriclothing.com

I don’t know what it is, but compressive jumpsuits flatter my figure more than any other garment could. Call it magic or just great design, but I can’t get enough of them. They feel almost like a second skin, and wear excellently during activities like running and yoga, yet are still comfortable enough to wear on long travel days. If you haven’t had the pleasure of wearing an active jumpsuit, then let me be the one to introduce you with this on-sale one from T+L editor-loved brand Vuori , offering a corset design for extra style and a form-hugging material that moves with you , not against. 

Vuori Bayview Thermal Crop Tank

When it comes to comfortable travel clothes, pants often get the most attention. While nobody wants to endure a hectic travel day in a pair of scratchy, overly tight pants, the same goes for an ill-fitting top. Luckily, this cropped tank solves that issue with its thermal knit material and built-in bra for a supportive, cozy fit. Rock it solo on a warm day, or layer it under a cardigan or sweater for lasting comfort.

Anrabess Two-piece Sweater Set

Buy on Amazon

Crafted from a soft and comfortable fabric, this set includes a sleeveless sweater and loose-fitting pants that can be worn as a set or apart for endless mix-and-matching possibilities. Both pieces are designed to be breathable, making them perfect for the upcoming spring season. Oh, and as an always-welcomed bonus, the pants feature two spacious pockets. Thanks to an on-site coupon, you can snag this one-and-done outfit for a mere $40.

LouKeith Tennis Skort

Having comfortable, versatile staples is a prerequisite for any good travel wardrobe, regardless of your trip. And to me, no clothing item is more of a multitasker than the humble skort. With a design as sleek as this Amazon best-selling one , skorts can be styled with virtually anything: a blouse and some boots for a night out, a pair of sneakers and a sweatshirt for travel days, or a tank top and sporty tennis shoes for outdoor activities. On sale for $27 and available in sizes XS-3XL and in 32 different colorways, I’m confident that there’s a skort for everyone.

This Bestselling 2-Piece Set Is My Airport Uniform for Back-to-Back Travel

Bestselling Two-Piece Set

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

Every now and then, my schedule gets a little busier than I anticipated. I took a peek at my calendar and realized I’d be traveling two back-to-back weekends this month. I’m heading to Texas for a baby shower and then I’ll be home for less than a week before I’m headed to a family reunion in North Carolina. I’m prioritizing comfort since I’ll be running in and out of airports.

Typically, I wear joggers or leggings with a graphic T-shirt and an oversized cardigan while I’m traveling. It keeps me comfortable when I’m waiting in lengthy TSA lines and running through terminals due to last-minute gate changes. While I love signature travel look, I’ve decided to elevate my airport uniform with the help of a bestselling two-piece set on Amazon.

ANRABESS Two-Piece Set

ANRABESS Two-Piece Set

Get the Anrabess Two-Piece Set for just $46 (originally $53) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, May 8, 2024, but are subject to change.

I look forward to serving rich mom vibes, courtesy of Anrabess’ Two-Piece Set. It features a knit sweater and flowy trousers for an effortlessly refined ensemble. The ribbed pullover sweater has a chic square pocket detail. It’s made from a butter-soft fabric that will keep me warm if the temp gets a little chilly on the airplane.

The trousers are just as impressive. They have a casual, oversized fit and look so chic on. I love the cuffed detailing at the ankles. Plus, they have a slight pleat for an added touch of sophistication. Much to my delight, the trousers have two large functional pockets, perfect for storing my phone and boarding pass.

I’m snagging this set in the khaki white style and plan to rock it with a pair of chunky dad sandals that like Birks and a pair of socks, so I don’t have to walk through security barefoot. It comes in 24 other monochromatic shades. From army green to rust and hot pink, there are so many styles to choose from.

Rave reviews from savvy Amazon shoppers influenced my decision to snag this set. “I love every detail of this outfit from its trendy look to its cozy matching pieces,” one five-star reviewer noted. “It’s charming, elegant, and comfortable, making it a perfect combination of style and practicality,” they continued. “This coordinated set let’s you express your style with its fashionable design.”

Whether you’re jet-setting like I am this spring and summer or you’re just looking for a comfortable and stylish new set to add to your collection, you should check out this bestseller. Snag it while it’s still on sale for just $46.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Jackie Cucco

A travel wardrobe is different from a regular wardrobe. How so? It should include comfy, breathable pieces made of stretchy, flexible fabrics while also being versatile, layerable, and suitable for different activities, climates, and occasions.

Finding items that check all the boxes can be challenging. To make it easy, we’ve rounded up the best travel clothing brands that carry casual, professional, weather-friendly, and active pieces alike.

The Travel + Leisure team not only trusts these featured brands but has also personally tried many of their best-selling, highly rated clothes, outerwear, and shoes firsthand. We used our extensive apparel and footwear testing process to come up with the best places to shop online for all types of travelers.

Best Overall

Unbound Merino

Unbound Merino's clothes are woven from ultra-soft, stretchy, non-wrinkling wool that wicks away sweat and promises to keep odors at bay.

The selection is somewhat limited, but it's great for basics.

When it comes to travel apparel, Unbound Merino is tough to beat. Crafted from premium merino wool boasting super-fine, silky fibers, the fabrics are not only not itchy but are also softer, stretchier, and more wrinkle-resistant than many cotton weaves. Wool is naturally antimicrobial and sweat-wicking, too, meaning it won't harbor odor-causing bacteria. So you can wear the garments multiple times on a trip without needing to wash them — the brand says you can wear its clothes for weeks without laundering them.

Unbound Merino carries lots of comfy basics that are excellent for travel, like plain tees, long-sleeves, and pants that feel like sweats but look like professional trousers. We're particularly fond of the Women's Merino Wool Travel Dress . This versatile frock can be dressed up or down, worn as-is or under a light jacket, and styled with sandals, heels, flats, or sneakers. We also like the Men's Merino Crew Neck T-Shirt , a perfect short-sleeve tee or undershirt for guys.

The Details: 90-day return policy

Best for Everyday

The brand's active-meets-casual pieces are just the thing for travel days, athleisure outfits, and sporty weekend looks.

You'll mostly find athleisure and loungewear clothing, but there are some good trousers and knitwear items, too.

Alo is technically a yoga apparel brand, but it makes some excellent athleisure and loungewear pieces for comfy everyday ensembles. The brand has also expanded its offerings to include things like work-ready trousers, knit sweaters, bodysuits, and sporty dresses.

We love Alo's 7/8 High-waist Airlift Legging on account of its extra-wide waistband and soft fabric that lifts and sculpts your curves. When going for a more laid-back look, we'd rock the slouchy Alcolade Sweatpant with a pair of sneakers.

The Details: 30-day return policy

Best for Business Travel

Madewell carries lots of professional-looking pieces, like blouses, bodysuits, button-ups, trousers, and midi dresses.

The men's collection isn't as extensive as the women's.

Madewell is known for its denim, and while we certainly love the jeans, it's also a great place to shop for a work trip. From sophisticated dresses and tailored pants to chic blouses, button-ups, and bodysuits, you'll find a range of high-quality, professional-looking pieces.

The Harlow Pant is one of our favorites for business-casual and business-professional outfits. This best-seller features a high-rise, wide-leg cut and a drapey, breathable blend of cotton and Tencel. (It's also available in a curvy fit , with a contoured waistband and extra room through the hips and thighs.)

Best Sustainable

Besides its impressive collection of classy, travel-ready clothes, we appreciate Everlane's commitment to reducing waste and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

The brand leans seasonless but has some cold- and warm-weather pieces available.

Everlane carries a mostly seasonless collection of travel-ready apparel, including jogger-trouser hybrid pants, jeans in on-trend yet versatile cuts, elegant sweaters, classy Oxford shirts, everyday crewnecks, cotton dresses, and jumpsuits. The brand is also dedicated to sustainability, with a waste-minimizing supply chain and a goal to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by over 50 percent by 2030.

The Dream Pant is one of our go-tos for travel days. These pants look like tailored trousers but feel like stretchy joggers, plus the fabric is wrinkle-resistant and (according to Everlane) "comfortable enough to nap in."

Best Athleisure

Lululemon carries not only top-notch athleisure wear, but also pieces you can wear to work that feel like lounge clothes.

Though the sizes can run a little small, the Align collection stretches to fit even if you fluctuate sizes.

We pretty much always pack at least one Lululemon item when traveling. Originally a yoga apparel brand, it now offers an impressive range of loungewear and athleisure pieces, including leggings in virtually every cut, style, and color. You'll even find work-appropriate garments, like trousers, poplin shirts, and blazers that feel like athleisure wear. The prices can be steep, but you can often strike gold in the discounted " We Made Too Much " section.

Lululemon launched its uber-popular, borderline-famous Align Pant in 2015. While we certainly like the original, the pocketed version is ideal for travel — and it's made with the same buttery-soft fabric and super-wide, high-rise waistband. We also like the slightly looser-fitting Align High-rise Jogger , which has pockets big enough to hold a smartphone .

Travel + Leisure / Alexander Huang

Best for Capsule Wardrobes

This affordable luxury brand has pieces you can dress up or down and wear in multiple seasons.

While many cashmere and silk items are machine washable, the brand still recommends hand washing.

Quince is a relatively new clothing brand but has gained a loyal following since its 2020 launch. When you browse the site, you'll find affordable pieces made from premium materials, like cashmere, natural silk, and linen. There's even a chart on each product page that breaks down exactly how it gets the prices so low. Just the thing for building a capsule wardrobe, the high-quality, multi-season garments can be mixed and matched to create endless outfits. Quince also has an almost unheard-of 365-day return window.

We like the Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater, which comes in women's and men's sizes. We're also big fans of the Washable Stretch Silk Blouse because it's not only machine washable, but it’s also versatile enough to wear with a skirt, jeans, shorts, or pants.

The Details: 365-day return policy

Best Budget

Amazon essentials.

Amazon's own clothing brand has accessibly priced travel basics, loungewear, professional attire, and swimsuits for men, women, and kids.

The "try before you buy" option is only available for Prime members.

If you're on a budget, look no further than Amazon. The mega-retailer has many private label brands, including a very accessibly priced clothing line, Amazon Essentials. There's tons of great stuff for men, women, and kids, including wardrobe basics, loungewear, dresses, sweaters, underwear, swimsuits, and even workwear. Prime members can get their items within a couple of days (sometimes even with same-day delivery) and take advantage of the "try before you buy" perk. This allows you to order items to try on and ship them back without being charged for anything if you decide you don't want them.

The Women's Short-sleeve Maxi is breathable, stretchy, lightweight, and versatile — everything you want in a travel dress. Amazon Essentials also has many affordable short-sleeve men's shirts, including henleys, V-necks, and crewnecks, like this two-pack of Regular-fit Short-sleeve Pocket T-shirts .

Best Size-inclusive

Girlfriend Collective

Many styles run from XXS to 6XL, plus they're made of stretchy, flexible fabrics that won't wrinkle in your suitcase.

The brand suggests using a wash bag or microfiber filter when washing and hanging items to dry.

Girlfriend Collective has one of the most inclusive size ranges out there — many of its styles come in 11 sizes, running from XXS to 6XL. The brand carries fitness apparel, athleisure, loungewear, bodysuits, dresses, and outerwear – all stretchy, breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and packable. Most items are made of fabrics sourced from recycled plastic bottles, and you can even recycle the pieces you're done wearing through the ReGirlfriend program.

The brand's Compressive Pocket Legging is a stellar choice for travel. We like how the soft yet sturdy fabric holds you in without restricting movement, and the deep side pockets are big enough for a phone or passport.

Best for Shapewear

Spanx has shapewear for every outfit, along with thoughtfully designed clothing items you can wear while traveling, to work, and on weekends.

Many items come in limited colors, but the selection is getting broader.

Spanx is almost synonymous with shapewear. The brand carries a comprehensive selection of undergarments that hold you in, smooth certain areas, and enhance your curves — think bodysuits, high-rise underwear, compressive shorts, tanks, and camis. Besides that, you can now get chic, comfy apparel, including travel clothes, workwear, swimsuits, and even jeans with hidden shapewear features.

Made specifically for travel, the AirEssentials Collection has cozy yet classy jumpsuits, dresses, and wear-anywhere pants. We like the Suit Yourself Boat Neck Ribbed Bodysuit because it combines core-smoothing shapewear with a sleek long-sleeve shirt you can style many ways.

The Details: 60-day return policy

Best for Hiking

This outdoor apparel brand has all types of hiking clothes, from pocketed pants and shorts to layering pieces and weather-ready, stuffable outerwear.

Patagonia doesn't make hiking shoes or boots.

If you're planning a hiking trip, Patagonia likely has almost everything you need. We're talking layering pieces, pocketed trail pants and shorts, windbreakers, rain jackets, packable puffer coats, and thick, sweat-wicking socks. It doesn't carry hiking boots or shoes, but we can tell you which ones to buy from other retailers.

We tested the Women's Chambeau Rock Pants and loved the elastic waistband, adjustable cuffs, ample pockets, silky-soft fabric, and true-to-size fit. The material is also breathable and stretchy, preventing you from overheating while offering a full range of movement on the trail. These pants did a great job repelling water, too, so you can definitely wear them on a drizzly day.

The Details: Unlimited return policy

Travel + Leisure / Lisa Pezzuto

Best Outerwear

Columbia makes a myriad of weather-ready pieces, like vests, pullovers, stuffable puffers, rain jackets, and windbreakers.

The outerwear options are more for outdoor activities than professional or formal occasions.

Columbia has been making outdoor apparel for nearly a century. When you shop the collections, you'll find practical base layers, hiking clothes, snow gear, and lifestyle pieces you can wear for travel and other casual occasions. The brand really stands out for its outerwear offerings, which include fleece pullovers, insulated vests, down jackets, raincoats, and windbreakers. Some options feature Omni-Heat technology, a foil-like lining that essentially reflects your body heat back onto itself to keep you toasty-warm when the temperatures drop.

We tried the Women's Carson Pass Interchange Jacket firsthand and were thoroughly impressed. We found it very warm and liked how easy it was to layer over various shirts and even sweatshirts. What's more, this coat has fleece-lined pockets, sleeves with thumbholes, and a hood that actually stays in place when you put it on.

Travel + Leisure / Maria Rowella

Best Swimwear

Andie Swim 

This swimwear brand has well-made one-pieces and bikinis in multiple coverage options, cuts for long torsos, and an inclusive range of sizes.

Some styles may not be supportive enough for large chests, and the return window is pretty short.

Andie is a prime place to shop for swimsuits. The brand is known for its well-made one-pieces with flattering cuts and comfortable designs that don't require constant adjusting — including options for long torsos and plus-size bodies. You'll also find bikinis, cover-ups, and various other travel accessories for women , like hats, sunglasses, and beach bags.

We tested The Amalfi One Piece and fell in love with the thick, durable ribbed fabric. It's exceptionally comfy, even when soaking-wet, and dries quickly, so you're never soaking-wet for long. Though the thin straps may not be supportive enough for those with large chests, we appreciate that you can choose from three coverage options on the bottom: medium, cheeky, or full.

The Details: 14-day return policy

Travel + Leisure / Frances Crouter

Best for Shoes

Nike's footwear selection goes far beyond trainers, with streetwear styles and walking shoes that'll keep your feet happy for hours.

The rocking outsoles might take some getting used to.

Nike has dominated the sportswear market for multiple decades. Over the years, its offerings have expanded to include athleisure clothes, streetwear, and travel-friendly lifestyle pieces. Beyond clothes, the brand has some of the best shoes not just for working out and playing sports but also for hanging out and taking a leisurely stroll.

We tried Nike's Motiva Walking Shoes , which have unique rocker-style bottoms. The shape of the outsoles took some getting used to, but it really seemed to optimize our stride in terms of stability, shock absorption, arch support, and overall comfort. We also adore the sporty-chic look.

Travel + Leisure / Kimberly Souza

Travel + Leisure / Donna Freydkin

Our in-depth testing process for clothing involves carefully inspecting the garments, assessing the materials, trying them on to evaluate the fit, and wearing them for various activities for multiple hours at a time. We rate apparel based on factors such as fit, comfort, breathability, moisture resistance, stretch, durability, care requirements, and overall value. The results for this article were compiled from multiple testers who used the products in real-life settings, often for ongoing, months-long periods.

Tips for Buying Travel Clothing

Choose versatile items.

When buying travel clothes, look for versatile pieces you can dress up or down, mix and match with different outfits, and wear on numerous occasions. Like a capsule wardrobe , this will allow you to pack fewer items and re-wear certain garments. The best apparel for travel is also suitable for multiple seasons, meaning you can layer pieces under or over it for cooler or warmer weather.

Look for travel-friendly features

We recommend prioritizing odor-resistant, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant materials, such as wool, cashmere, lyocell, performance fabrics, and cotton blends containing a stretchy fiber, like spandex or elastane. Some fabrics have built-in sun protection listed as UPF (ultraviolet protection factor).

You'll also be glad to have clothing with pockets. These will come in handy on travel days when you need to quickly stash your phone, boarding pass, ID, or cards. Strategically placed pockets can also allow you to forgo a purse or backpack (or at least bring a smaller one) on some outings.

On travel days (whether you're catching a flight, taking the train, or road-tripping), you want to avoid things that make it hard to sit comfortably for hours or quickly go to the bathroom. For some people, this includes bodysuits, jumpsuits, rompers, dresses, and overalls.

Lace-up shoes can also slow you down when going through airport security. Though some advise against wearing sandals (especially without socks), slip-on footwear such as slides or sneakers can be a good choice. Other things that can hold you back include belts, jewelry, hats, and other accessories.

The best material for travel clothing is stretchy, breathable, and moisture-wicking, meaning it'll draw sweat away from your body to prevent you from overheating. It should also be wrinkle-resistant, so you can pack it in your suitcase without worrying about creases. Fabrics that check all the boxes include wool, cashmere, lyocell, some cotton blends, and performance fabrics.

While you have lots of options for what to wear on a plane , it’s most important to be comfortable and able to move freely, with layers you can take off or throw on if you get hot or cold. You can't go wrong with stretchy jeans or trousers with a simple tee or long-sleeve and a crewneck sweater, half-zip sweatshirt, or button-down flannel. While you shouldn't wear pajamas, some people rock head-to-toe athleisure or loungewear sets, which we can totally get behind.
