I presume you are too. Picture sleek, roomy shapes, which can include traditional market totes , more spacious weekenders, and taller, upright profiles crafted from luxurious leather, suede, and hardworking nylon. For those devoted to luxury labels, Louis Vuitton, Prada , and Bottega Veneta make some of the best designer luggage . Of course, functionality and luxury unite in versions from travel brands like Rimowa , Tumi , and Monos . Then, options from labels like Cuyana , Lululemon , Caraa , and Paravel offer options that are trendy, durable, and enduring.

Best Monogram Travel Tote Bag

The long, lean profile of this leather travel tote easily slips under a seat without a fight. Even better? The top zipper to secure belongings. Plus, it comes in a range of colors and varying silhouettes to suit all preferences.

Dimensions: 12.3" x 21.6" x 5.1"

Colors: Terra-cotta, black, caramel, dark olive, and more

What reviewers are saying: “I’ve been using the original classic zipper tote for years for travel, and decided to give the new tote a try. I like the new straps, which are easier on the shoulder when I’ve got heavy items to carry, and I love the color (Biscuit). I like having the zipper for keeping my belongings in place when passing through airport security machines and for stowing under the seat in front of me on the airplane.”

I fell in love with Caraa’s durable yet sleek recycled nylon bags while trying out stylish diaper bags , and ever since, I’ve been a devotee. I love the rounded silhouette of this spacious but not overly large tote. It feels unique, is super luxe-looking, and offers tons of function, from lightweight padded design to the 10-plus compartments and multiple straps.

Dimensions: 12.5" x 15.75" x 7"

Colors: Black

What reviewers are saying: “Excellent Travel Bag. I took it on a recent trip and it was perfect. Love the mesh pockets, the passport pocket and lab top pocket. Just a perfect travel companion!”

Timeless elegance meets modern durability and function in Paravel’s consciously crafted canvas carryall. (Note the protective feet.) It’s monogrammable too—so you’ll never mix it up with another traveler’s bag.

Dimensions: 15" x 15" x 8"

Colors: Tan, black, blue

What reviewers are saying: “This bag looks like the Hermes garden bag. I took it to Sardinia and Sicily and was stopped repeatedly to ask who makes it!”

This bag was my introduction to Calpak, and needless to say, I’m obsessed. It’s so lightweight and spacious, with a secure top zipper, side zip pocket, and sleeve to stay put on my roller bag. I tend to be a heavy packer, especially when attempting only to carry on. I can fit so much in this bag, which fits easily under an airplane seat, even when it’s filled to the brim.

Dimensions: 12" x 16" x 7"

Colors: Chocolate, black, rose, oatmeal, and more

What reviewers are saying: “This bag is more spacious than I imagined it would be. I was shocked how much I could pack in it. I love the shape, structure, color, fabric, luggage sleeve, pockets, and how lightweight it is. It’s truly an amazing piece!! My 15 inch MacBook even fits in the outside pocket. It’s a tight fit, but it’s a fit. Worth every penny!!!”

There’s no designer tote bag more durable or beloved than Prada’s Re-Nylon. The black is fail-safe and great for travel, no question. But I can’t help but love this beige as a fresh alternative.

Dimensions: 11.4" x 13.8" x 5.9"

Colors: Beige

Flexible and elegant, Naghedi’s woven neoprene tote is a stunning yet durable bag for travel that comes with a coordinating pouch for small essentials. Spacious enough for plenty of snacks, a backup layer, and a travel pillow, it’s a year-round winner and can double as a water-resistant beach bag—a true do-it-all wonder.

Dimensions: 22" x 12.5" x 8''

Colors: Olive, black, white, tan, pink, and more

What reviewers are saying: “I purchased this bag 1 week ago in the Olive large size, and have not put it down since. It is beautiful and gets many compliments. Perfect bag at a great price.”

Dior’s Toujours bag was a practical standout on the Spring/Summer 2023 runway, making it the ultimate travel companion. The thoughtful details start with the spacious interior compartment and a matching pouch to organize essentials, and end with a leather strap closure to keep items secure, plus adjustable handles for versatile carrying by hand or over the shoulder.

Dimensions: 14.5" x 10.5" x 7.5"

Métier is the ultimate for premium suede and leather travel bags. Each is thoughtfully designed, like this rich tan version featuring multiple interior compartments with a minimal and elevated aesthetic.

Dimensions: 9.4" x 13" x 15.7"

Colors: Brown

Talk about utility. This drawstring tote bag is not only on-trend with the padded design, but also seriously pocketed, with a perfect spot for every one of your travel essentials. Computer? Check. Wallet and ID? Yep. A Water bottle? Oh, yes. (Obviously, staying hydrated in flight is crucial.)

Dimensions: 15" x 4.5" x 16"

Colors: Cream, black, olive, violet, and more

Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull monogram tote bag is iconic in every sense of the word. I’m loving this new khaki-green iteration—it comes with a removable pouch—as a standout update to the spacious, side-laced silhouette.

Dimensions: 12.2" x 11" x 5.5"

Colors: Khaki, cream, black

Lululemon City Adventurer Tote Bag 27L

Raise your hand if your packing was flawless en route to your destination, but can somehow barely be contained on the way home. Enter the expandable travel tote bag by Lululemon, featuring an extremely useful zippered gusset to adjust the capacity of your carry-on. Genuinely, so genius.

Dimensions: 20.5" x 7.1" x 12.6"

Colors: Trench, black

What reviewers are saying: “I loved this bag so much that I bought one for my cousin, too! I use it as a travel bag, as a diaper bag, and as a tote bag when I am walking around in Rome. It expands the perfect amount to fit more stuff in when I travel home from a destination and it has lots of great pockets for all my Airpods, lip glosses, and ID!”

Bottega Veneta Large Flip Flap

Is this the most functional travel tote out there? Perhaps not. But it’s hands down one of the most gorgeous. Crafted from soft nubuck leather, it’s incredibly spacious inside and completed with a brand-signature intrecciato leather zippered pocket—perfect for your ID, wallet, and phone. (P.S., there will be even bigger Bottega travel bags available by spring 2024.)

Dimensions: 12" x 14.9" x 11"

Colors: Green, brown

July Carry All Tote

I love the ease of a tote that sits comfortably on my shoulder and stays put while I’m dashing through airports. Beyond that, this one checks so many boxes, from the zippered top to the padded laptop sleeve compartment and hidden passport pocket with a magnetic closure.

Dimensions: 16.5" x 13" x 6.3"

Colors: Black, navy

What reviewers are saying: “This versatile tote has been an absolute game-changer for my daily activities. The design is not only fashionable but also incredibly functional, providing ample space to carry all my essentials effortlessly.”

Rimowa Vertical Tote

Business trippers and light travelers, this upright tote is for you. It features an easy-access external pocket for laptops or other electronics (so key for getting through security), as well as a roomy interior and travel strap for securing it to a roller.

Dimensions: 5.75" x 14.96" x 1.97"

Colors: Black, petal pink

Celine Cabas Drawstring Cuir Triomphe

If you favor elegant leather totes, look no further than this drawstring style by Celine for travel. It’s the type of tote that transitions seamlessly from the workweek (with polished dresses and tailoring) to weekend getaways (when you don a matching sweatsuit and sneakers).

Dimensions: 17" x 11" x 7"

Colors: Tan

Antler Chelsea Weekender

This minimal taupe weekender tote bag is spot-on for unfussy travelers. It’s made of water-resistant nylon, with well-considered details like a separate shoe storage compartment, detachable shoulder strap, and a padded pocket to keep a laptop accessible yet well protected.

Dimensions: 20.87" x 12.6" x 9.06"

Colors: Taupe, slate, mineral, black

What reviewers are saying: “A useful shapes and size bag with handy pockets and slot to fix soundly onto my luggage. I have just used it for the first time and was very pleased.”

Everlane The Luxe Italian Leather Tote

Sometimes, all you need or want is a beautifully crafted leather tote bag without too many bells and whistles. Everlane has you covered with this roomy and sleek leather tote, featuring two over-the-shoulder straps, an interior slip pocket (to cradle your phone, ID, and lip balm), and a leather-covered metal snap button closure.

Dimensions: 20.8" x 15.3" x 7"

Colors: Beech, cognac, black

What reviewers are saying: “Love the size..! Fits everything I need be it work or for traveling..! The leather quality & workmanship is top notch! Exactly what I was looking for!”

MZ Wallace Large Metro Deluxe Tote Bag

MZ Wallace is a go-to for well-made tote bags like this quilted nylon style. Perfect for travel, it’s fitted with several interior and exterior pockets, reinforced padded handles, an adjustable crossbody strap, protective feet, a luggage sleeve, and three detachable pouches.

Dimensions: 14.5" × 11" × 14.5"

Colors: Buff

What reviewers are saying: “I own a couple of these bags in different colors and I find them to be the perfect gift for special friends and family who are traveling. They are always blown away by the quality, looks, and functionality! The 3 extra travel bags are a fun surprise too!”

Chanel Large Shopping Bag

If luxury is your game, is there any other option but a Chanel shopper tote bag? Complete with a spacious interior, coordinating pouch, and interior zip pocket, this beautiful blue bag will stand out in any setting, from exotic beaches to snow-capped mountains. Choose your adventure.

Dimensions: 11.7" × 19.5" × 8.6"

Colors: Blue tweed, floral velvet

Monos Metro Weekender

This Monos weekender is larger than your average tote, but if you need lots of space, it’s the travel bag for you. The nylon twill fabric offers plenty of flexibility (more so than the beautiful and luxe vegan leather), making it a contender for airplane travel. However, it likely will not fit under a seat and will require overhead bin storage. It’s most ideal for road trips or train rides, where luggage requirements aren’t so rigid. Whichever your method of transport, it has all the details you crave for an organized trip from separate shoe storage to a laptop compartment and multiple carrying straps.

Dimensions: 19.25" × 10.25" × 14.75"

Colors: Gray, black, blue, green

What reviewers are saying: “On my flight this weekend, I decided to try out the Metro Weekender. As I walked through the airport, I was literally stopped and asked, ‘Where did you get that bag, it’s beautiful!?’ While the bag is definitely beautiful, it is also practical. There are lots of useful, easily accessible interior/exterior pockets for wallet, phone, eyeglasses, laptop, so everything was organized inside the bag. I tucked my crossbody purse inside along with a denim jacket and still had plenty of space. I liked the zipped bottom section where I put shoes. My biggest question was…will if fit under an airplane seat…and it did[.]”

The 9 Best Travel Jewelry Cases of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Keep your jewelry safe with one of these protective and stylish travel cases.

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Travel + Leisure / Jhett Thompson

Traveling with jewelry can be risky business, so it’s important to pack your accessories thoughtfully. Sure, you can always use Ziploc baggies and tissue paper, but the easiest and safest way to keep your jewelry safe is by using a handy travel-size jewelry case.

Since travel jewelry cases come in all different shapes and sizes, we tried 25 options from trusted luggage and jewelry brands. After loading the cases up with jewelry, we tossed, dropped, and shook them to see how safe the jewelry would be in situations like traveling where rough handling can be expected. From testing, we selected the winning jewelry cases that will keep your jewelry safe and organized whether you’re a jewelry minimalist or maximalist.

Our Top Picks

Best overall: cuyana travel jewelry case, best budget: bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

• Best Roll-Up: Bagsmart Peri Folding Jewelry Organizer

Best Personalization: Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case

Best large capacity: kendra scott medium travel jewelry case, best for long trips: calpak jewelry case, best compact: vee & co. small travel jewelry case.

• Best for Everyday Use: Levenger Mini Jewelry Organizer

Best Sustainable: Paravel Jewelry Case

The small, oval container is the perfect size for a weekend getaway.

It could use a few more organizational features.

Cuyana’s oval-shaped case is deceptively spacious in comparison to its smaller design. Perfect for minimalist jewelry wearers, the interior has plenty of room and designated spots for several rings and earrings, but there aren’t specific latches for necklaces or bracelets. The two slip pockets on each side of the case can hold bigger or longer pieces of jewelry, but they run the risk of getting tangled without a latch so we wish the organization was a bit better. Made with genuine leather, the case has a protective exterior with a soft suede interior to further guard the jewelry against scratching or other damage. Throughout six months of tests, we loved this case for weekend getaways and longer trips alike and found it to be the perfect size to toss in a backpack or personal item.

The Details: Italian leather | 5 in. x 3.5 x 1.25 inches

Travel + Leisure / Joy Kim

The bag is spacious yet compact and comes with a handle to carry it easily.

The quality feels a bit lower than other cases we tried.

Designed similarly to a toiletry bag, we love that this wallet-friendly jewelry case comes with a top handle to transport it to and from a suitcase with ease. The compact bag is also a great deal considering how much jewelry it can hold while still being easy to pack. The polyester material is protective and flexible so the bag can pack down to a smaller size depending on how much jewelry is inside. The interior has an earring panel, ring bands, necklace clips, and various zippered pockets for storing all of the jewelry you want to pack for a trip. While we didn’t notice any issues with quality during testing, the materials feel less durable than other pricier cases we tried. We tossed the packed jewelry case around a bit during our tests and the items remained perfectly safe without any tangling or damage. Even after traveling with the case on seven flights, trains, and throughout more than four roadtrips during our six months of tests, nothing became tangled and the case is proving to be durable and sturdy.

The Details: Polyester | 6.1 x 9.8 x 1.9 inches

Travel + Leisure / Jhett Thompson

Best Roll-up: Bagsmart Peri Folding Jewelry Organizer

The compartments roll out, which makes it easier to pack jewelry.

It was slightly difficult to put the earrings on the designated card.

Bagsmart impressed us a second time with their roll-up jewelry organizer, which was the easiest bag to pack with jewelry during testing. After six months of use, we love that it can fit a lot of jewelry and has compartments big enough for even the biggest hoops and other dramatic earrings. The envelope-style case unrolls and lies flat so you can easily see all of the pockets, latches, and hooks for storing every piece of jewelry you could ever need for traveling thanks to the larger capacity. We had some slight difficulty getting earrings into the holes in the earring card, but it was just a minor inconvenience, and there are plenty of other spots to place hoops and studs. Made with cotton fabric, the case may feel a bit flimsy, but is soft and protective, and it’s very compact since it can lie fairly flat even after it’s packed with jewelry.

The Details: Cotton | 9.06 x 6.3 x 5.75 inches

Mark & Graham

It comes in 28 color and pattern options — plus it's monogrammable.

After six months of using the case, we wish it had more space for necklaces, bracelets, and larger earrings.

Looking for the perfect gift for a traveler? You can monogram this Mark & Graham jewelry case with up to three letters for a personalized touch that makes the gift all the more thoughtful. The square-shaped case has a sturdy exterior that feels like it will hold up perfectly in a packed carry-on and the pebbled vegan leather gives the box a sophisticated look while sitting on a desk or dresser. The interior is split into two sections with a mirror divider to separate the box, which makes it slightly difficult to fit larger jewelry pieces like a watch or chunky necklace, but after six months of testing, we did like that the separate sections help you access all your items without spilling everything out. We also love that there are tons of ring pillow slots so if you’re a big ring wearer, this jewelry case is an excellent option. In addition, there are several necklace or earring latches as well as a slip pocket and sections for bracelets or broaches.

The Details: Vegan leather, linen | 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches

Kendra Scott

The large size of this jewelry box makes it useful for heavy packers or at-home use.

It doesn’t have any necklace hooks.

Jewelry maximalists will appreciate the bigger size of Kendra Scott’s jewelry case. It looks like a traditional jewelry box that sits on a dresser, but it’s also very portable thanks to its lightweight materials and design. The interior has four large compartments to easily drop in bracelets, necklaces, or watches without any hassle and there are over 10 ring pillow slots for rings or earrings. To keep all the packed jewelry safe, the case comes with a divider to prevent items from jostling around on the go. The case also comes with a small matching zippered pouch that you can keep in the box or remove for extra storage. We found this separate pouch to be perfect for use on shorter trips when you may not need to bring the full case. While we wish the box had a few more organizational features like necklace hooks or earring holes, the jewelry remained perfectly intact after we shook it around, so we’re confident that the box keeps items safely tucked away. Plus, after six months of use, the stylish case still looks new and is a great option for home storage, too.

The Details: Polyurethane, polyester | 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches

After six months of traveling with this case, not one necklace became tangled thanks to the plentiful hooks.

We wish it had more storage options for studs.

If you’re embarking on an international trip that includes a checked bag, we recommend this jewelry case from Calpak to weather the journey. Since the rectangular jewelry case is bigger, it can easily store enough jewelry for several weeks of traveling. The structured design makes it ultra-durable and our favorite part is that it has a built-in drawstring bag that does an excellent job of keeping bracelets, watches, or earrings safely secured in the bottom section of the jewelry case. The top part has a variety of necklace latches and a ring holder for even more security. When we rigorously shook the container, none of the jewelry budged from its original spots, so we feel confident that this case will protect your valuables in a checked bag with no issues.

The Details: Faux leather, faux suede | 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches

The square-shaped box is small enough to easily fit in a carry-on or backpack.

The jewelry might scratch up the mirror on the divider.

The lower price and superior functionality make this petite jewelry case an excellent option for anyone looking for a place to store their accessories. It’s smaller than a lot of the options we tested, so we think it’s ideal for travelers needing to save space in a backpack or suitcase. Despite its compact stature, this jewelry box can fit tons of jewelry from studs to a leather watch. It’s intuitive to pack the case with rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more since there are designated latches, slots, and compartments for virtually everything. When we shook the case, all of the jewelry remained packed away in its original spot without any damage occurring. The box has a divider with a mirror on one side and our only worry is that the mirror could get scratched by the metals or vice-versa, so you may want to put a small piece of fabric between the mirror just in case.

The Details: PU vegan leather | 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.97 inches

Best for Everyday Use: Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer

The small design makes it easy to store the case in a purse.

It can’t fit large jewelry pieces.

Jewelry minimalists will love this tiny jewelry case for keeping track of just a few pieces of jewelry while on the go. After six months of use, we love that this Levenger mini jewelry case has latches, hooks, and pockets to protect and organize rings, bracelets, and necklaces. It is on the small side with minimum space for studs, but light packers will appreciate the hard, durable exterior that still looks new after six months. The genuine leather exterior and suede interior feels luxurious and looks elegant, so this also makes a great jewelry case for newlyweds going on a honeymoon . We especially love the tiny zippered pocket in the middle of the case for storing extra small jewelry items like studs or stacking rings.

The Details: Leather, microsuede | 4.25  x 4.5 x 1 inches

All of the materials used to make this case are recycled.

The organizational features could be better and, after six months of use, we think it's a bit too large to pack in a carry-on.

Paravel is one of our favorite luggage brands , so we’re pleased to report that its jewelry case impressed us, too. The circular case is made entirely of recycled materials from post-consumer plastic water bottles and upcycled zippers to create an eco-friendly accessory for travel. Besides the sustainability factor, the case comes with a large drawstring pouch that makes it easy to drop in larger pieces of jewelry like bracelets or watches. The top flap of the case has a ring holder and earring post to store smaller pieces of jewelry, but we wish there were a few more organization features like necklace latches or zippered pockets. However, we love the vintage-style design and, like most Paravel bags, you can monogram the case with initials for a special touch.

The Details: Recycled canvas, vegan leather | 5.6 x 3.6 inches

Other Travel Jewelry Cases We Liked

The jewelry cases below get an honorable mention since they still performed well in testing, but fell slightly short compared to our top performers.

Benevolence Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer : This jewelry box can fit a ton of items, but you’ll want to make sure everything is secure before traveling since we noticed most of the jewelry became dislodged during testing.

Mejuri Travel Case : The case looks elegant and sleek on the outside, but the interior doesn’t offer much in the organizational department, so it’s best for minimalist travelers.

Our Testing Process

After thoroughly researching jewelry cases from trusted brands, we selected 25 options to first test out in our New York City lab. We packed each case with every type of jewelry you can think of, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, and more to get a feel for the usefulness of the organization features. Then, we tossed, dropped, and shook the cases (think Kourtney Kardashian level of salad bowl shaking) to see if the jewelry remained safely secured in place or if the pieces moved around. We also examined the cases for any scuffing or damage.

With our lab testing portion complete, we then rated the jewelry cases based on ease of use, capacity, design, and quality to determine the winners. We will continue to test the jewelry cases for an additional six months so we can see how each one performs while traveling in a more natural setting after the lab testing.

Tips for Buying a Jewelry Case

Buy the right size case.

First, you’ll want to think about how much jewelry you travel with to determine the best size for your needs. For those who travel with bigger pieces of jewelry like watches or chunky necklaces, consider getting a more structured case with large compartments. Delicate or minimalist jewelry will pack better in an envelope or binder style of jewelry case. And if your jewelry collection consists of just a few pieces, opt for a mini jewelry case to save space in your luggage.

Consider organization

Most jewelry cases come with latches, hooks, pockets, and pillows to hold pretty much any piece of jewelry you can think of. Like other types of travel organizers , some jewelry cases are more barebones than others, so you’ll want to buy a case according to your organization preferences or based on the type of jewelry you travel most with. If most of your jewelry consists of earrings, be sure to get a box that has pockets and hole cards with spots for hoops, studs, and dangling earrings.

The best way to keep your jewelry safe and organized is to use a jewelry case. The best thing about travel jewelry cases is that they often come with designated slots for all types of accessories to make packing intuitive and quick. If you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can always place tissue or fabric between your jewelry to prevent the pieces from rubbing against one another in transit.

Once your jewelry is packed into the case, we recommend placing the jewelry case between soft clothing for safekeeping or in a personal item in case you have to gate-check your bag when flying. It can be risky to place a jewelry case in a checked bag since you may run the risk of the bag getting lost, but it depends on your comfort level for flying with potentially valuable items.

Ok, fellas, so here’s the thing… while we nomads like to keep things super simple and laid-back while we travel, sometimes stepping our outfit up a notch is necessary given certain occasions.

The best travel blazer for digital nomads on our list is Haggar Men’s Smart Wash Performance Blazer

• Material: polyester/wool
• Best Use: travel/business
• Weight: Mediumweight
• Security Pocket: yes

As a digital nomad, you make your living on the road. But not being tied down to an office doesn’t mean you don’t need to have smart apparel on hand to pull off a snazzy business look should the need arise. The Haggar Men’s Smart Wash Performance Blazer looks sharp and professional while catering to the needs of a nomadic lifestyle.

The fact that it’s low maintenance is a huge selling point. The polyester/wool blend packs down easily and makes it resistant to stains and wrinkles – meaning you won’t find yourself needing to make frequent trips to the dry cleaners. The elegant navy color pairs well with anything from jeans to slacks. It adds just the right amount of chic to any outfit for business or pleasure.

You’ll have plenty of space to carry your mobile phone and other personal items, with a button-tab pocket and two interior utility pockets. Stash valuable items that you don’t want to lose safely in the zippered interior security pocket.

Plus, there are three exterior pockets, so you won’t have any trouble carrying around all your business and travel gadgets everywhere you go. If you’re willing to splurge a bit for a high-quality, versatile travel blazer you’ll feel comfortable doing business in, it’s worth the money.

• Lots of storage
• Made of durable, hassle-free fabric
• Dry clean only

Top pick for best travel blazer for music festivals is Mogu Men’s Blazer Slim Fit Sport Coat

• Material: cotton/polyester
• Best Use: travel/party
• Weight: lightweight
• Security Pocket: no

Who said you have to go to a formal or business event to wear a spiffy blazer? You can also use a travel blazer to make a statement and have some fun. If your travels involve a music festival where psychedelic experiences are likely to ensue, spice things up by sporting a turquoise, lemon yellow, or hot pink blazer. 

If those colors don’t appeal to you, not to worry; there are 22 to choose from. If you have your heart set on a green or orange blazer, those are available too! You can have any color under the sun with this slim-fit sport coat. If the music festival you’re attending is slightly more subdued – say a classical music festival – there are less flashy colors available, like black or navy blue. 

Not only can you use this travel sport coat at music festivals, but it can easily be reused during any other part of your trip; because of its slim fit, it pairs well with t-shirts, shorts or pants, and a dress shirt. Depending on how crazy you want to get with the color, you’ll likely find a variety of occasions to add this lightweight travel blazer to other outfits. And – depending on your destination – wearing a burgundy or pink blazer on a regular night out may just fit in with the latest fashion trends.

• Available in 22 colors
• Has 2 small sizes so can also fit younger, middle school-aged students
• Budget-friendly
• Very slim fit may be restricting for stockier builds
• Chest pocket isn’t a real pocket

COOFANDY Men’s Casual Suit Blazer is one of the best travel blazer for backpacking europe

• Best Use: travel
• Security Pocket? yes

While we respect the typical backpacker’s desire for comfort and utility, we highly recommend having at least one fashionable outfit on hand if you’re backpacking through Europe. Some of the world’s most fashionable cities are found in Europe – Milan, Paris , London, to name a few – and, overall, sloppy-looking clothing is not the European way. 

While you don’t have to look runway ready to fit in, sticking out as a “typical tourist” isn’t advised. Not only does it make you a target for opportunistic pickpockets searching for unsuspecting outsiders, but it may keep you from access to higher-end or trendy hotspots that you’d like to check out. Europe has tons of cultural offerings – from super casual to more refined – and you’ll want to be aptly prepared.

This casual sport coat is the best travel blazer for backpacking Europe because it looks stylish and polished without breaking the bank. It’s also practical, with a real chest pocket, two front flap pockets, and an inside pocket to stash away more important items.

It’s lightweight and minimalist, so it will easily pair with jeans, a simple tee, and casual shoes. It adds just enough style to give you that little bit of pizazz you need for any venue or event you encounter on your European travels.

• Inexpensive
• Lightweight and versatile enough to pair with all clothing
• Looks higher quality than it is
• Needs to be drycleaned
• Thinner than an average sportscoat due to quality of material

Eddie Bauer Men’s Ultimate Voyager Travel Blazer

Eddie Bauer Men’s Ultimate Voyager Travel Blazer is our top pick for overall best men’s travel blazer

• Material: 100% Polyester

What we love about this travel sports coat is how rugged and comfortable it is without sacrificing style. Not only is it odor-resistant and wrinkle-resistant – making packing in limited-capacity travel bags a non-issue – but it’s also has a water-resistant finish for ultimate versatility. The final look is polished and refined – everything a savvy traveler could want.

This travel blazer was definitely designed with the avid traveler in mind. Every detail is functional and travel-friendly, from the interior zip pocket for organizing travel documents to the zip compartment that includes a media port. It’s the perfect all-in-one solution for a lightweight travel blazer that will serve you well for day excursions and pass any fancy nighttime dress code requirements.

There isn’t much that we don’t like about it. Eddie Bauer makes top-quality items for travelers, and their travel blazer is no exception. It hands-down gets the #1 spot on our best travel blazer list.

• Has a close-to-body, active fit to accommodate mobility and style
• Works for travel and casual business needs
• Includes a detachable throat collar fastener
• Doesn’t require drycleaning
• Wrinkle-resistant but not wrinkle-free

Meet the best classic wool travel blazer: Paul Fredrick Men’s Classic Fit Wool Travel Blazer

• Material: wool
• Best Use: travel/formal event
• Weight: year-round

If you’re looking for the most wrinkle and stain-resistant fabric for your ideal travel blazer, then wool is the way to go. Made of 100% wool, this two-button blazer will suit all your travel needs without needing much cleaning and maintenance while on the road. 

It definitely fits the bill for a more classic, refined look that can be worn in all seasons. Wool is great because the fibers naturally help you regulate your temperature. It’s breathable like cotton, making it comfortable in warmer weather. It’s also insulating, so this travel blazer will also keep you warm in colder temperatures. If you’re a frequent traveler year-round – whether for business or pleasure – a wool travel blazer is worth considering.

If you’re on the lookout for a classically styled blazer for traditional events like a wedding, a formal dinner party, or important business travel, this is a solid choice. It’s available in five classic colors – one of which is a marine blue if you want to spice up the color.

Another bonus is that the Paul Fredrick travel blazer is as practical as it is timeless. There are two front flap pockets and four inside pockets, giving you plenty of space for travel documents and personal accessories. If you travel a lot in all types of weather, this wool travel sport coat is a winner.

• Made of 100% wool that is odor, wrinkle, and stain resistant
• Great value for money
• Stocked with pockets

Our pick for the best vintage travel blazer is BGSD Vintage Men’s Suede Travel Blazer

• Material: suede leather

If vintage is the way you roll, be sure to check out this BGSD suede travel blazer. Reasonably priced and made of 100% leather, you can easily use this sports coat for a wide variety of travel occasions – from a night out in a trendy cosmopolitan city to a casual business meeting. 

It has two deep front pockets that will easily fit essential personal accessories. There’s also an inside pocket to secure travel documents or other important items. This makes travel comfortable and convenient because you have space to keep everything you need on your person – no extra carrying accessories needed.

The distressed brown leather is a classic color that pairs well with anything. It’s easy to dress up for more elegant events or business or keep casual for daytime excursions. 

For an all-around classically cool travel blazer, this one won’t disappoint.

• Made of 100% leather
• Value for money
• Only available in brown

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

While we believe that the best travel sports coat choices we’ve presented above cover pretty much any traveler for any purpose, you may choose to keep looking around for a lightweight travel blazer that suits you better. If you do, we’d like to give you these things to consider to help you choose the best men’s travel blazer when doing your shopping research.

One of the main things to figure out is what material is best for the travel blazer for you –  depending on your needs and travel style. If your priority is low-maintenance in terms of washing, wool may be your best bet.

Wool is the most ready-to-wear as it requires the least amount of washing due to its natural odor, stain, and wrinkle-resistant properties. Just keep in mind that a wool travel blazer will need to be dry cleaned.

If you want to avoid dry cleaning completely, nylon is a better choice. Nylon is extremely resilient, making it a good choice for more rugged conditions. It’s not the typical material you’ll find in more traditional blazers, and it’s probably a material you think of for windbreaker or rain jackets. Because it’s water-resistant, finding garments for travel outerwear is helpful for unpredictable weather or for more versatile use.

Then there’s polyester. Polyester is a very lightweight, quick-drying material that is very wear-resistant, which is why it’s what most sports clothing is made of. It’s usually not considered the most high-quality material for more formal wear, but it’s the material of choice for keeping the costs of items lower. If you’re looking for the most inexpensive travel blazer possible, polyester will be your best bet.

A good question to always ask yourself when shopping around for the best travel blazer is: how much do you want to spend? Thin materials – like polyester and cotton blends – will be the cheapest. For a lower price, you’ll likely have to sacrifice more advanced features like ample pocket space, zipper pockets, and quality. 

If you want your travel blazer to be long-lasting and have all the bells and whistles of a top-notch travel garment, consider investing more money. A higher-quality travel sports coat will cost you more, but if you intend to use it for a long time, it will be worth the upfront investment.

Consider what you need a travel blazer for. Is it a one-off purchase to wear to a music festival, or is it a blazer you intend to use for business trips on the road? For a more professional function, you’ll want to carefully consider how the blazer looks – making sure it doesn’t look too “cheap” or ill-fitting.

If it’s to look good out on the town, you can choose a less traditional style. It should look sharp but could have a more vintage look or an edgier look. If it’s a travel blazer you intend for many nights out on the town in many different cities worldwide, consider paying more for the one you like best.

If it’s for one or two nights out for a specific trip, you probably don’t need to worry as much about the quality and durability of your chosen travel blazer.

Pockets and Storage

How important are pockets and storage space to you? If you like to travel with your travel documents and personal accessories on you at all times, be sure that your travel blazer selection has ample pockets. An inside security pocket is highly recommended for stashing away more valuable belongings.

Packability

Since this garment is meant to serve you well during travel, you need to check out how well the garment packs away. Is it bulky, and will it take up a lot of space, or does it fold down compactly? Does it pack well if it’s folded up, or will it arrive a wrinkled mess if it isn’t packed in a certain way – like on a hanger in a garment bag? For business travelers, this might be okay.

Keep in mind that if you’re a backpacker, your travel blazer will be tucked into a compact pack with a bunch of other items where space is limited. You’ll be better off choosing a travel blazer that packs down easily and is as wrinkle-resistant as possible.

Keeping your garments low-maintenance will help make your travels much easier and hassle-free – especially if you’re staying in hostels, as most don’t offer services that involve an iron or clothes steamer!

Still have some questions? No problem! We’ve listed and answered the most commonly asked questions below. Here’s what people usually want to know:

Why do I need a travel blazer?

Travel blazers are there to look fancy on the road. While you might not need it on remote trips, stepping your outfit up a notch is necessary on given certain occasions.

What is the best looking travel blazer?

We’re huge fans of the COOFANDY Men’s Casual Suit Blazer thanks to its sleek design and great fit. It’s also super light and fits in every bag.

Can you store a travel blazer in your backpack?

Yes, travel blazers are usually made to be stored easily in bags and backpacks without losing their shape or getting wrinkly. It’s best to double check though.

What should you consider when buying a travel blazer?

Think about these features: 1. Weight and Function 2. Packability 3. Cost 4. Materials and Pockets

Discover the Difference!

Three reasons to choose quality assurance travel, family-owned and operated..

Our owners run the business as if it were their own, because it is their own! That’s why every detail is handled with care and an eye toward giving you the most enjoyable bus travel experience possible.

Bus Owners,NOT Bus Brokers.

There are lots of bus brokers out there who do not own their buses and/or will subcontract your charter reservation. So you not only end up with a bus company that you may never have heard of, but you could be paying a huge mark-up on the cost of your bus trip.

Beat any reasonable quote.

Along with the service and the bus coaches themselves, we guarantee you and your group will pay the lowest bus charter rate around. Have you received a quote from a Bay Area bus charter company that seems low or even too good to be true? Send it to us and we will beat it. Guaranteed.

What are Customers are saying about us

Quality Assurance Travel is absolutely the BEST! On December 27, all of our Southwest tickets were canceled and I had to find a way to get my entire hockey team down to Riverside California from San Jose for two mandatory hockey games. So, I considered looking into a motorcoach. Our driver was so professional, so kind, and even watched both of our hockey games. The bus was as clean and as comfortable as I could've prayed for!! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to rent a motorcoach, or a bus for any reason whatsoever.

Quality Assurance Travel is always my go-to bus travel company in the San Jose area. They do an amazing job communicating and taking care of your large group travel needs. I work for a school and I know I can rely on them to safely take our students to and from field trips. Huge shout out to Elena & Javier Moreno! Elena is so helpful in booking and Javier is a very experienced driver who is also very accommodating! Thank you again to this team, I appreciate everything!

Used Quality assurance travel shuttle this past Friday for my daughter's wedding. Bus driver was very friendly. Shuttle was clean and the drive was very smooth. Pick from the fairmont hotel was on time and pick up from city hall was also on time to drive to the restaurant. The pick up from the restaurant back to the hotel was also on time. I highly recommend this company for any events. No worry about driving around SF and parking
