Best Travel Clothing Brands

Confession: I overpacked all the wrong clothes for 5 years before I finally started traveling carryon only on my long term travels .

I saw other travelers, predominantly male travelers, traveling around the world in a small little backpack, and I was envious of them – they seemed to move so freely without a bunch of baggage. I wanted to be like them. Traveling light.

However, my situation was the exact opposite. I was traveling with way too much stuff and somehow I never felt prepared for the destinations I was visiting. Based on limited packing advice online at the time, I chose clothing that was either too technical, low quality and consequently not practical for long term travels, or just not my style at all. To sum it up, I didn’t feel like my best self.

If you also feel unprepared while traveling, check out my guide to stop overpacking .

The Eddie Bauer Departure Shirt is lightweight and moisture-wicking, perfect for travel! Paired with Rebecca Minkoff Backpack and Taos Star Sneakers

In 2011, I set off on a mission to figure out how to choose the best travel clothing without sacrificing my personal style or skimping out on functionality. One year later Travel Fashion Girl was born. The idea was to show female travelers how they could be fully prepared on their travel while also feeling good about their clothes, too.

I made it my personal goal to start packing smarter, traveling lighter, and to bring the right things for my trips.

I eventually discovered that the secret to packing the right clothes for a trip was to choose things that were practical but things that also made me feel good about myself. The ideal trifecta for travel clothes are items that feature form, function, and fashion, too. While the majority of time you don’t need specialty “technical, utilitarian clothing”, travel and outdoor brands do offer so much functionality when traveling. Their fabrics tend to be lightweight, breathable, packable, wrinkle resistant, quick-drying, and so much more than your average garment.

Unfortunately, many times the designs leave alot to be desired for. They can be masculine, childish, or unattractive. The solution is to look for regular garments with technical features and combine those items with a few of the most fashionable travel clothing options available.

Non-Travel Clothing Companies that Are Amazing for Travel

While stylish easy care travel clothes can be hard to find, I’ve found several companies that do a great job of combining practicality and femininity. Here’s my list of the best travel clothing brands for women:

Shop Eddie Bauer:  Sizes XS-XXL  |  Petite S-L  |  Tall M-XXL  |  Plus 2X-3X

As I started researching hiking clothing for my various trips to national parks over the past year, I discovered Eddie Bauer , and this brand has quickly become some of the best travel clothes for women . I like many of their items for travel and every day, and so do our readers!

Readers have continually bought up the Departure Pants , which were a big hit during Amazon Prime Day! They’re lightweight, don’t retain moisture, have UPF protection, and a hidden pocket. The definition of perfect travel pants! 

Consider checking out the Departure Travel Clothing Collection , which includes the Departure Blazer , another TFG fave that works as a summer jacket with some polish. Or their ultra-lightweight and breathable summer dresses are a huge hit, such as their famous Departure Dress Collection .

Find out why TFG readers constantly choose Eddie Bauer shirts for travel in this review !

Eddie Bauer Ripstop Shirt worn with the best-selling Wallaroo Victoria Sun Hat  

I became a fan of their button-down tops immediately, including the Ripstop Shirt and the Departure 2.0 Long Sleeve . They’re both versatile enough to be paired with denim shorts , worn as a beach cover-up, and tucked into my favorite jeans.  They also have cute outerwear like my Charly Waterproof Rain Jacket (highly recommend!) 

Eddie Bauer often has awesome sales, and they also offer a range of clothing sizes, including regular, tall, petite, and plus sizes.

Read this review to learn why we and our readers rave about Eddie Bauer’s waterproof jackets, particularly the Charly Jacket.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater Sizes XS-XL

One of the top reader-favorite travel brands for key staples like pants, sweaters, and jackets is Quince . While they offer tons of great pieces, there are definitely a few faves that readers consistently rave about and recommend . Overall, they’re a leader in high-quality yet affordable women’s travel clothes that are washable and often wrinkle-resistant!

The most popular seller by far is the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater , which is super soft and versatile but still lightweight for fall and winter trips. Another reader fave is the Mongolian Cashmere Tee . Not only is it warm enough for layering, but it’s perfect to wear year-round. If you love cashmere as much as the readers do, review the full Quince Cashmere Collection .

Shop Sizes XS-XL:  Quince

Readers absolutely love their Ultra Stretch Ponte Pants to death! They’re stylish but extremely comfortable, with the look of classic trousers and the feel of yoga pants! The four-way stretch and soft fabric make them a dream to wear. They can be worn with virtually any top and look great with flats , sneakers , and ankle boots .

Quince even has jackets, such as the lightweight but warm Down Puffer Jacket , which goes with so many pieces! It can be worn with jeans ,  leggings , fleece-lined leggings , or even over your favorite travel dress . This jacket works in temperatures as low as 32° F. It’s a perfect go-to for airplane outfits, as well!

Their Washable Silk Blouse is another popular pick that readers love for its crisp and polished look that’s super low-maintenance. It’s deliciously soft and flattering and comes in a wide range of colors. Check out their entire collection of Washable Silk Clothing that is easy to take care of when traveling and includes skirts, dresses, pajamas, and more!

Shop Sizes XS-3X: Wool& Axis Leggings

The merino wool brand Wool& is becoming a fast reader favorite due to their breathable, comfortable travel clothes that span everything from basics like tees and leggings to dresses and pajamas ! 

The Addison Turtleneck is prime to snuggle up in as winter looms, and you can even layer with the popular Morgan V-Neck Tee .

Shop Sizes XS-3X: Wool& Morgan Merino Wool V Neck T Shirt

The Axis Leggings and Sloan Top are loved by readers for their cozy warmth and versatility. These thermals are made from merino wool, so they’re soft, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and temperature-regulating to keep you warm on freezing winter days.

And if you want even more cold-oriented clothing, the Aspen Hoodie and Wool& bestseller, the Everett Tunic , look absolutely inviting to wear by a roaring fire. And we can’t forget the ever-popular Maggie Dress , which is a short-sleeve number that can be a standalone dress or even a beach cover-up .

Shop Sizes XS-XL: Icebreaker Merino Tech Lite II Short Sleeve T-Shirt

Icebreaker is a traveler and reader favorite for merino wool base layers , but this brand has other merino clothing (for both men and women), such as jackets, dresses, t-shirts, and even underwear! 

If you’re traveling in cold weather, thermals are the secret to packing light and Icebreaker offers some of the best ! (Trust me, I keep buying less expensive brands then I end up spending more money because I always come back to Icebreaker.) Specifically, merino wool is a miracle fabric for winter because it’s moisture-wicking and odor-resistant to keep things fresh but also breathable.  

The most popular Icebreaker thermal bottoms are the Oasis Thermal Leggings and the Oasis Thermal Top , which can be layered underneath your winter clothing.

Icebreaker Tee, Outdoor Research Sun Cap, and Ray Ban Sunglasses

I also love their classic Icebreaker Tee , which can be worn casually to hike and camp or even tucked into a skirt and dressed up with jewelry and cute sandals.

Many female travelers also recommend dresses such as the Yanni T-Shirt or Tank Dress . Their price points are high but for the minimalist adventurer, these are a must! 

ibex Women’s Wool Aire Down Jacket  | Sizes from XS-XL

A second merino wool favorite is ibex . They not only have great base layers for winter travel but also sell other popular items like hoodies , tank tops , and tees.  

For top merino wool base layers, Woolies 2   is awesome for every kind of traveler! The Woolies Thermal Tops and Thermal Bottoms are reader favorites. They’re super lightweight while offering that necessary insulation.

Their Sweatpants Joggers are also cozy due to the merino wool terry cloth fabric and will keep you dry as these won’t trap moisture, so great for flights or staying cozy in your hotel room!

Wearing  ibex Wool Aire Down Jacket ,  Bernardo Hooded Jacket  paired with  Zella Leggings  and  UGG Lorna Boots

The  ibex packable down jacket  is a new find I’ve fallen in love with. I was shocked at how warm I was in this jacket despite how thin and lightweight it is.

I’ve worn it in temperatures ranging from 25F – 40F and layered it only over a J Crew Tee and separately just over a merino wool thermal. I’m so impressed that I now take it with me everywhere whenever I need extra layers!

Shop Sizes XS-3X: Amazon | Columbia

Columbia makes popular travel wear for women who love the outdoors. They offer easy-care clothing that is functional, light, wrinkle-resistant, and quick dry. As a bonus, this brand has affordable pricing and a wide variety of sizes, such as regular, petite, tall, and plus.

TFGs particularly love their extensive selection of travel pants, including the Columbia Saturday Trail Straight Leg Pant and the bestselling Arcadia Rain Jacket . Our readers are also big fans of their easy-to-wear dresses, especially the Freezer Dress Collection , available in a range of lengths.

Columbia Carson Pass 2 Waterproof Winter Jacket

I like Columbia for their insanely warm yet affordable outerwear options. If I’m traveling in the winter, I want to stay dry and warm so I can spend all-day sightseeing regardless of the elements. The Carson Pass 2 Waterproof Coat is one of my all-time favorite winter jackets for home and travel. Read my full review of this jacket!

Shop Athleta:  Regular 00-26  |  Tall 00-16  |  Petite 00-14

Though Athleta is known for athleisure clothing, readers say they actually offer travel clothes women love for travel, and rave about a numbe of stylish and functional pieces! 

For instance, TFGs highly recommend the Athleta Brooklyn Pants . They’re cute, comfy, and stretchy in all the right places and the ribbed waistband moves with you. And with several pockets, you can stash small essentials for a flight or a day of sightseeing. 

Shop Sizes XXS-3X: Athleta Santorini Midi Dress

Many readers also recommend the Santorini Midi Dress , saying it’s a dream for trekking around in the blistering heat while staying cool, dry, and fashionable!

The Athleta Stellar Leggings are also a reader’s top fave, made from a luxurious Italian fabric that is designed for movement, yet they have a flexible fit and feel smooth, and look flattering.

Shop Sizes XS-3X: Quilted Quarter-Zip Pullover

A brand that makes reliable travel apparel is L.L Bean . They offer solid basics and standard, petite, tall, and plus sizing options.

If you plan on camping or glamping this summer, take the Quilted Quarter-Zip Pullover to stay warm, and also pack the  L.L Bean Linen Shirt as a comfy and airy choice. Readers also rave about their Tropic Wear Quick Drying Pants that are excellent for hiking excursions or a backpacking trip, and readers say they pack easily.

Shop Sizes XS-3X:  Short-Sleeve Crewneck Pima Cotton Tee

The L.L. Bean Pima Tee is travel-ready and a huge seller! Made of Supima® cotton wrinkle-resistant fabric, it’s a comfortable and sustainable shirt that also dries quickly. It’s perfect for layering on chillier days.

If you’re looking for layering items, the Silk Long John Top and Bottoms are popular for their comfortable feel, weightless warmth, and wide size range. Terrific to stay warm for a wintry trip!

Shop Betabrand:  Sizes XS-3X  |  Petite XS-3X  |  Short Petite XS-3X  |  Long S-3X

Betabrand is best known for their Dressy Yoga Pants , which look polished but feel as comfortable as yoga pants! While the fabric is thicker than most traditional travel clothes, it’s their durability and versatility that make Betabrand pants a good option for travel. 

In addition, their Canopy Dress is also popular for female travelers looking for longer hemlines, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, and a classic cut you can wear anywhere!  Betabrand has a vast size selection, including XS-3X Plus and their paints offer four inseam choices: regular, short petite, petite, and tall.

Shop Sizes Petite-Maxi: The Chrysalis Cardi Convertible Dress

Encircled is a Canadian company that specializes in sustainable, stylish, and packable travel clothes that are versatile for everyday wear as well. You probably know them for their popular Chrysalis Cardi , a garment that can create 8 different looks, such as a skirt, dress, cardigan, or wrap. Talk about reducing how much you pack!

Read my Chrysalis Cardi Dress review !

The Chrysalis Cardi with Comfort Sandals (similar)

Some of their other bestselling pieces are their Dressy Sweatpant Jogger , Evolve Top , and the Long Sleeve Revolve Dress .

Their travel clothing line has expanded to include shirts, blouses, pants, jumpsuits, skirts, jackets, and more!

Shop Sizes XS-XL:  Toad&Co  | Zappos

Toad & Co.

For some of the best travel clothing for women , Toad & Co. offers casual basics and vacation-ready dresses in breathable fabrics that are oh-so-comfortable.

The stylish Toad&Co Taj Hemp Pants have UPF 25+ for ultimate sun protection, so you won’t need to overdo the sunscreen. And they’re moisture-wicking and dry quickly in the heat, all hallmarks of travel pants worth packing.

Toad and Co. Sunkissed Dress: Toad&Co | Amazon  in Sizes S-XL

I’ve worn the Toad&Co UPF sun protection dress .  The lightweight fabric is water-friendly, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking, plus it is UPF 40 protective. It’s made from recycled polyester and waterless dyes, so you can rest assured you’re doing your bit for the planet.

If you prefer a shorter length, the lovely Cue Short Sleeve Dress features cap sleeves, a tie at the waist, and a flowy skirt, making it a stylish and versatile option that still gives you the practicality you’re looking for in a breathable dress. Their clothes ae endlessly unique but accessible for travel!

Their clothing is also available on Amazon !

Shop Sizes 00-18 Petite, Short and Tall: Amazon | Prana

prAna was first introduced as yoga wear, but it has since expanded into a line of comfy women travel clothes that come in a range of sizing, inseams, and moderate price points. 

Their best selling Halle Travel Pants   are endlessly stretchy, durable, and versatile for more activity or dressing up for dinner. If you’re looing for a pair of convertible hiking pants, try their popular Monarch pants . Here’s a full review of why these are great for outdoor excursions!

Shop Sizes XS-XL: Jewel Lake Dress

Another highly touted item that readers love are prAna’s ultra-cute yet practical travel dresses , like the Jewel Lake dress ! It features a comfortable high neck with criss-cross straps in the back, and the bust features an interior shelf bra with mesh lining.

So it makes sense they also make some of the greatest t-shirts, including their popular Foundation Short Sleeve V Neck Top .

Shop Sizes XS-XXL: Chico’s No Tummy Pants

Chico’s is a new favorite for their classic, versatile clothing. This brand has a dedicated Travelers Collection , with no-wrinkle, easy-to-pack fabrics. Some faves are the  Travelers Classic No Tummy Pants , which have a pull-on, elastic waist for an easy-chic look, and the Classic Short Sleeve Maxi Dress that’s stylish and super versatile, and looks fab with white sneakers or sandals .

Shop Sizes XS-XL: Chico’s Eyelet Tank Tops

Chico’s Tank Tops are also popular and ideal for layering; they’re versatle and soft to the touch. Chico’s also has a No Iron Shirt Collection , so you can wear a blouse right out of your suitcase without annoying wrinkles to contend with! 

If you want clean lines and a more sophisticated look, this travel clothing brand is highly recommended! 

Shop Sizes PP-3X:  Eileen Fisher

Eileen Fisher 

Eileen Fisher  has been a long time favorite of the TFG readers, particularly those that are looking for functional yet elegant basics in longer lengths and wider designs. While I didn’t own any of the brand’s clothing despite how much the readers raved about them for travel, I finally got hooked when I bought their linen tunic shirts on sale!

Eileen Fisher Linen Shirt with Wallaroo Sun Hat  

Like the Eddie Bauer button-down mentioned before, I discovered this Eileen Fisher linen dress and fell in love with it for hot and humid destinations! It’s SO versatile and chic, and the best part, the linen keeps me nice and cool. I wear it as a blouse tucked into my denim, worn as a tunic over jeans or leggings, and as a beach cover-up dress .

Shop Sizes XS-XL: REI Co-op Sahara Shade Hoodie 

REI is a wonderful source for adventure travelers to stock up on comfortable clothing that’s durable and lightweight, but overall, this retailer is fantastic for general travel gear—be it clothes, shoes, or backpacks .

A true hiking staple, the REI Co-op Sahara T-shirt wicks sweat, dries quickly, and shades you with solid UPF 30 sun protection. While the REI Co-op Sahara Shade Hoodie  is built for the trail with a tech-tee-like knit that wicks moisture and provides shade.

REI is a wonderful source for adventure travelers to stock up on comfortable clothing that moves as you do, but overall, it’s just a fantastic option to grab general gear for travel, be it clothes, shoes, or backpacks .

Shop Sizes 0-26W: REI Co-op Sahara convertible Pants

If you love rushing streams and tricky switchbacks, then REI Co-op Sahara convertible Pants are ideal. They even convert into shorts easily while on the trail! For airflow and freedom of movement, it’s hard to beat a dress—especially one designed for hiking, like the cool, stretchy, multi-pocketed REI Co-op Sahara dress .

Shop Sizes XS-XXL: Uniqlo

This Japanese brand is especially noteworthy for their AIRism and HeatTECH collections, which are available at a low price point. AIRism fabric is light, breathable, and quick-drying. Their tanks, camis, and tees are the perfect absorbent, anti-odor underlayer.

They take up almost no space, are easy to hand-wash, and dry quickly. There are also AIRism bras, panties, and leggings. HEATTECH innerwear has heat-retaining properties and is great to wear as a base layer in cold climates. 

One of TFG’s writers likes wearing her HEATTECH tights under jeans during winter travel, and another loves their lighter layers. Read her review here !

Shop Sizes XS-3X Regular, Petite & Tall :  Spanx

Spanx is previously known for shapewear, but they’ve since expanded into clothing that’s functional, fashionable, and flattering!  

Readers particularly love their comfortable, lightweight pants, specifically the AirEssentials Wide Leg Pants , which are perfect for traveling in a car, plane, or train. Feel free to check out the entire AirEssentials Collection , especially the stretchy and cute AirEssentials Jumpsuit , which is an all-in-one outfit for travel!

In addition to AirEssentials, we can’t forget the Perfect Pants , which are more polished but still have their famous stretch and comfort. The entire Perfect Collection is ideal for those wanting to travel to Europe due to its sophisticated, simple pieces or for frequent business travelers or remote workers.

Shop Sizes XS-3X: Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

Other popular traveling pants styles are the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings . While leggings are not as in style as they used to be, they’re still popular for travel overall. I love their faux leather leggings because they’re comfy yet stylish and versatile—able to be worn dressed down or up. I wear them as a part of a plane outfit, all the way to sightseeing or dinner out. Here’s my full review of them!

In addition to travel apparel brands, there are certain regular brands that are absolutely amazing for travel, too.

Shop Sizes XXXS-3X:  J.Crew Eloise Travel Blazer

If you want chic women’s travel clothes for Europe , TFG readers recommend J. Crew’s classic styles and quality that will last for years. In fact, one of the recurring comments about their Classic Denim Jacket is its long-lasting quality.

This J.Crew Cecile Blazer is similar to the beloved Eloise Blazer and is made of a cotton and merino wool blend. While it’s super cozy and great for layering during the fall and winter, it’s lightweight and versatile for year-round wearing, yet the sophisticated look is balanced out by an easy, relaxed fit.

Shop Sizes XXS-3X: J.Crew Vintage Cotton T-shirt

The top selling Vintage Cotton T-shirt features a drapey fabric that’s insanely comfortable, plus a figure-flattering slim fit. This is the perfect chic option to pair with cute pants and flats for a fashionable day wandering Paris .

And finally, peruse the J.Crew Dress Collection , because readers swear by their stylish selection for any season, but especially for spring and summer!

Shop Anthropologie:  Sizes 23-34  |  Tall 23-34  |  Petite 23-34  |  Plus 16W-26W

While Anthropologie has a more trendy vibe, I’ve discovered a few pieces that I’ve fallen in love with. One is the Colette Collection by Maeve , which includes comfy pants and shorts that come in an endless variety of colors, fabrics, and inseam options. Furthermore, many brands carried at Anthropologie also have inclusive sizing, such as regular, petite, tall, and plus.

I own the Colette Linen Wide Leg Pants and wore them on a recent trip; I felt so put together for my travel day without sacrificing comfort — they were very airy, and seriously felt weightless!  They have the feel of sweatpants but look incredibly chic and polished and they’ve now become my go-to pant for everything – including travel, flights, conferences, and everyday wear.

 And while their Vacation Dress Collection has some on-trend pieces, there are also more simple lightweight choices that are ideal for a beach vacay or a hot destination!

Shop Madewell Wide Leg Jeans:  Nordstrom  |  Madewell  (Sizes 23-33)

Madewell is an eternal reader fave due to their sustainable, comfortable clothing and inclusive sizing. Readers love their Cropped Wide Leg Jeans , with one saying they’re “so comfortable and so flattering and versatile”.

Another reader-approved pick is the Madewell Wide Leg Linen Pants . They’re airy but have a more polished look that can still be dressed casually.

Shop Sizes 00-16: Madewell Layton Midi Slip Dress

While TFGs love Madewell for their pants (and lots more), it’s their Dress Collection that they flock to during the summer. You can choose from short, midi,  maxi, and printed dresses. 

A great example is the chic and cute Midi Slip Dress pictured. While it’s on-trend, the lines are still simple and versatile, and would look amazing with black sneakers , sandals , or wedges ! 

Shop J Jill:  Regular XS-XL  |  Petite XSP-XLP  |  Tall ST-XLT

Readers love J.Jill for their timeless, mature clothing and bonus, they offer a broad size range including regular, petite, and tall. 

The Wearever Black Slim-Leg Pants are voted by TFG readers as some of the best pants for travel! They’re knit, made with an elastic waist for movement and stretch, and create a flattering shape. 

They wash very easily, dry quickly, and are wrinkle-resistant. A must-have travel pant!

Shop Sizes 24:33:  Lululemon City Sleek 5 Pocket High-Rise Wide-Leg Pant

Lululemon isn’t the most affordable brand, but many women swear by their apparel. They don’t just make amazing athletic wear for the gym, but they also make comfortable clothing that’s perfect for traveling and long-haul flights. Readers say investing in a pair of Stretch High Rise 7/8 Pants are worth it! They’re comfy, cute, and will last years. 

These Lululemon Comfortable Travel Dresses are also a great pick because they’re wrinkle-resistant, sweat-wicking, and have quick-drying properties, so you can wear them throughout your trip and stay fresh!

Do you really need “travel” clothing?

For most types of travel, you won’t ever need specialty travel clothing. You just have to follow some simple guidelines to shop your own closet. ( Download my free guide here .) On the other hand, there are some trips that require clothing with more technical fabrics and construction such as active adventures, long-term travel, or  round-the-world trips .

If you’re going on vacation, certain types of travel clothing can also help you pack lighter and more efficiently, too.  Many times, the fabrics in the clothing are breathable, quick dry, compact, and lightweight. Others offer clever ways to get more use from your clothing such as reversible features or multi-way styles.

Enjoying  Rome  in my  Gevomir Halter Summer Dress with my  Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody Purse and Taos Plim Soul Sneaker

The challenge is that most of the brands that create functional clothing forget to think about the needs of the woman wearing the clothing. Sometimes I think they forget the woman part entirely and just make smaller versions of mens clothes.

Over the years, I’ve tried just about every brand out there, in search of the trifecta of fashion, form, and function and I’ve found that some work far better than others. That’s why you’ll hear so much about certain brands repeatedly on the blog – they’re just so good in comparison to the rest. And that’s also why you never read about certain  other  brands – I’m not a fan of gimmicks and I know you aren’t either.

I would like to know what brand of grey flat shoes you are wearing in the photo.

Hi NikkiB, I am wearing my Skechers Pureflex Skechers Mary Janes flats: https://amzn.to/3jPVJi2

Good piece, thanks! Another brand that you might mention is Sympli, a Canadian line of clothing. It’s spendy but the fabric and quality are outstanding. I have several of their basic pieces and all make great, non-wrinkling travel options. The only drawback is that they’re not always fast-drying, so I bring them on short trips or trips where I won’t be changing hotels every night.

Hi Kathi, thank you for your comment, so pleased you enjoyed the post!! Thank you for sharing your review of the brand Sympli with us! 🙂

I love Sympli, but the fabric is heavy. If you are concerned about the weight of your suitcase, only bring a couple of pieces.

Thanks, for that. This is the really good article for the traveler. Who wants to travel anywhere and they have no idea which type of clothes should take it.

Hi Nick, thank you so much for your lovely comment, so pleased you found it helpful!! 🙂

These all look like great brands, but all US companies. I guess most of your readers are in the US but the rest of us could do with some help too! Ordering from the US can be expensive, with import duties, plus returns are problematic so what about including some great European brands?

Hi Kate, thank you for taking the time to share your insight! Let me look into this for you 🙂

It has probably been said a million times already, but EnCircled is da bomb. Their Dressy Sweatpants, Chrysalis Cardi, Evolve Top and Everyday Twist Top, and you’re good for the weekend!

Hi Tania, thank you so much for sharing your insight! 🙂

And how about sophisticated plus size travel wear in great fabrics? Unicorn. 😉

Suzanne, search for “plus size” here at TFG – there are several articles written by several of us who are members. Hope that helps you!

He best travel clothing I have found is Tilley. It is packable, can be washed and hung to dry overnight and lasts forever! Their travel jersey is versatile enough to wear casually or dress up .. cant be beaten as far as I am concerned!

I”m sorry, this stuff is just yoga clothing and much of it is either really cheap, or cheap and slutty. You’re going to get on a business class seat in that Anatomie stuff? Seriously. Prana is fine, but isn’t there somebody out there that makes sophisticated clothing that is still in packable fabrics?

Hi Nancy, sorry you feel that way. We’ll let you know if we find anything more suitable to your needs.

I think Nancy’s comment is a little harsh…..but, I would like some great travel clothes that are not clingy and you don’t have to be pencil thin to wear. I’m not a plus size but I am curvy so many of these clothes are not going to look good on me. Any other ideas for clothes with some structure but won’t wrinkle?

I love theLuLuwrap It is the perfect travel accessory. It’s so versatile you can wear it eleven different ways easily creating a chic and stylish look for any ensemble, anytime, anywhere!

Linda…could you link to this? I’m trying to find it but there are several things that sound kind of like it and not sure which item yoyre referring to. Thanks!

Also great is TravelSmith catalog!

thanks for the tip!

Icebreaker dresses are my go-to for travel! I also love SmartWool: a little pricier but lasts even longer!

Great brands!! Love both of them!

17 Best Travel Clothing Brands for Men and Women

With so many travel clothing brands out there, we understand that you don’t want to waste your time (or money) on the wrong gear. This list will help you make the right decisions!

Are you looking to revamp your packing list for an upcoming hiking trip? Maybe shopping for some winter gear for a journey up north? Or perhaps you’re simply on the hunt for standard cotton tees to add to your travel wardrobe.

Buying from a reputable clothing brand means you won’t have to replace the clothes you own year over year. I believe in investing in quality gear that will last a lifetime.

I know that looking for travel clothes can be a little overwhelming. Not only that, but it’s easy for outdoor and travel gear to get expensive quickly.

Biting the bullet and dropping some cash on that shirt or dress can feel daunting. Just remember: buying the right travel clothing now means not having to do so again for a long, long time.

I want to help you make your search for new travel clothes easier. In this list, I’m covering my favorite travel clothing brands of all kinds, to help you find the best quality gear. I personally wear these brands all the time.

Here is a list of the best travel clothing brands for both men and women.

• Best Travel Clothes Overall: One Golden Thread
• Best Budget Travel Clothes: Columbia
• Best Adventure Travel Clothes: Arc'teryx
• Best Ethically Sourced Travel Clothes: Patagonia
• Best Business Travel Clothes: Bluffworks
• Best Athletic Travel Clothes: prAna
• Best Travel Underwear: ExOfficio
• Best Merino Wool Selection: Unbound Merino
• Best Stain-Resistant Clothes: Ably
• Best Women's Travel Clothes: Athleta
• Best Travel Shoes: Vessi Footwear
• Best For Travel Baselayers: Icebreaker
• Best Men's Travel Clothes: Western Rise
• Best Travel Pants: KÜHL
• Best Travel Socks: Darn Tough Socks
• Best Travel Jackets: Eddie Bauer
• Most Durable Travel Clothes: Mountain Hardwear

One Golden Thread : Best Travel Clothes Overall

One Golden Thread makes functional, fashionable clothing with feeling. Made from a blend of regenerative Beech Tree fiber and combed ring-spun Cotton, the OGT lineup has perhaps the most comfortable threads I’ve ever worn. Seriously. After I got my Crew Neck Tree Shirt and the Tree Pant , I wore the set for three days straight.

Equally functional and stylish, these clothes will work just as well on a long-haul flight, a light hike, a day at the beach or a night out in a new city. They’re highly versatile and seriously soft. I’ll never wear another set of clothes on a flight ever again.

Alongside the cut, it’s the Beech Tree fiber that really makes the OGT lineup stand out. As far as I know, no other company is producing clothing from this material. That means there’s a good chance you haven’t felt the level of comfort these threads provide. With a 30-day return policy, you might as well try—you’ve got nothing to lose.

Their versatility allows for more minimalist travel. You can bring fewer things for more possibility.

From their 5-pocket Tree Pant , to the 98% five-star review Tree Shirt , wear the feeling of home wherever you roam. And for every item you purchase, One Golden Thread plants a tree. So, as you travel, you are a part of, as they say, re-generosity. It’s so golden.

Columbia : Best Budget Travel Clothes

Columbia has been a household name for travel clothes in North America for a long time and continues to earn that distinction. Most of you have probably owned Columbia gear at one time or another. If not, you absolutely should. Everything is reasonably priced, and you can wear it for every stage of your trip, even to chillier destinations.

Columbia’s Omni-Heat fabric is perfect for colder climates, and I’ve found this technology to be especially useful when applied to their pants. I personally own a pair of Omni-Heat pants, and I wear them all the time for winter and snow-related activities.

Columbia also produces a large selection of standard cotton shirts that you can wear for just about any occasion. They’re very budget-friendly and the cotton is lightweight, breathable, and cozy for long days on the road. They also make one of the best rain jackets out there, and it doesn’t break the bank.

On a broader scale, all of Columbia’s fabrics are comfortable and adequately durable. Take note, however, that I’ve found the lower price equals slightly less durability for some of their products. While I love how Columbia clothes fit and function, I’ve also found them to wear out earlier than other brands.

Arc'teryx : Best Adventure Travel Clothes

If you’re interested in the most up-to-date technological innovations in outdoor gear and travel clothing, consider Arc’teryx . More than other travel clothing brands, they focus on the performance of their clothes, along with a ruggedly practical design.

Their bread and butter is technical adventure gear for sports, like climbing and mountaineering. Therefore, you’re guaranteed durable and performance-driven garb designed to be put through the wringer.

While all their technical information can be daunting, Arc’teryx does its best to deliver easy-to-understand details about its features. You should be able to make the most informed decision about the best travel clothes to buy.

Plus, their selection is hardly limited to extreme sports. They also have a large variety of general outdoor clothing—everything from trail running pants to innovative hiking boots—making Arc’teryx one of the best outdoor clothing brands on the market. I love this company for this reason, along with the fact that they tend to inject very snappy colors into their clothing designs.

Arc’teryx is also a fantastic resource for cold-weather gear, and their incredibly warm snow pants and jackets are phenomenal. They also offer an array of bags for city and backcountry adventures.

Patagonia : Best Ethically Sourced Travel Clothes

My packing list for  anywhere  will forever and always include Patagonia , and so should yours. In terms of travel clothing, Patagonia has just about every essential item you could need. Their clothes are an integral part of my travel wardrobe, whether I’m transiting an airport or hiking up a mountain on a chilly morning to catch a sunrise.

Patagonia uses a variety of high-quality fabrics while staying committed to fair business practices. What’s more, they are incredibly active in nature and wildlife conservation efforts around the world.

Patagonia’s quality is unparalleled. They use the highest quality fabric and manufacturing processes available for their gear (which is why they make some of the best midlayers out there). Furthermore, they’re very transparent about where they source those materials, and it’s all ethical.

In terms of style, Patagonia likes to use bright patterns and colors in their designs, making each item very distinguishable and snazzy. Both men and women will also have plenty of choices in Patagonia’s massive catalog. I’ve found the colors and wide range of options fit my style perfectly, and many of my favorite clothes come from here.

One of those favorites includes a pair of durable pants that I’ve used for both sleeper trains and long days on the trail. I wear these travel pants (along with my other favorite Patagonia clothing items) all the time. They’re durable, they look great, and they carry well.

Amongst all the labels listed here, I have to say that Patagonia is definitely one of the best for stylish travel clothing combined with high durability and a great warranty. Plus their charitable program, Patagonia Action Works, has been supporting conservation efforts for over 40 years. Their brand ethically sources all its materials and labor, so you can feel good about where your money is going.

Bluffworks : Best Business Travel Clothes

Bluffworks combines high fashion with durable travel clothing that can be worn anywhere, especially at the office. They aim to unite your travel wardrobe with your everyday wardrobe to make lasting yet fashionable clothing.

They successfully combine performance, style and fabric quality. I’d wear their clothes just about anywhere in the world. If you need stylish clothing for travel and everyday wear, Bluffworks’ travel clothing line is a great option.

You should note that they have a small catalog, but the quality more than makes up for the lack of choices.

Bluffworks is perfect for traveling in cities because they use moisture-wicking and wrinkle-resistant fabrics, so you can explore for hours while still looking presentable. Their aesthetic isn’t flashy by any means, but their clothes are well-made and high-class.

Bluffworks certainly takes no shortcuts when it comes to their materials. In my opinion, it’s the style and quality inherent in every one of their products that distinguishes Bluffworks and earns them a slot on this list as being one of the best travel clothing brands .

prAna : Best Athletic Travel Clothes

If you’re packing lightweight and looking for stylish but athletic travel clothing, look to prAna ! They specialize in sustainable yoga clothing that’s also fantastic for travel and outdoor use. They’ve been doing so for years. They also place a premium on durability and quality, both of which are essential attributes for travel-friendly clothing.

You might have heard the buzz about their leggings and pants—they’re comfy, moisture-wicking, they have an athletic fit, and they last forever. Although prAna clothing has plenty of styles (they have an incredible selection of patterns and colors), their most significant focus is on performance.

First of all, prAna’s clothing has tons of comfort. prAna uses super-soft fabrics and smart designs to keep you comfortable during almost any activity by wicking away excess perspiration and providing ample breathability in warm climates. For example, they make excellent travel dresses for women featuring very lightweight cotton fabric that’s perfect for a night out or a day exploring nature.

Like many of the top travel clothing brands, prAna places a big emphasis on sustainability. They use recycled and natural fabrics like hemp, organic cotton, and recycled polyester, and they make timeless pieces that are designed to last.

They also have a performance-oriented cut that promotes a full range of motion and an athletic fit. If you’re looking for comfortable yet durable travel clothes that can keep up with you wherever you go, whether it’s a hiking trail or a new city, Prana is an excellent choice.

ExOfficio : Best Travel Underwear

I would wear almost anything from the ExOfficio lineup. They have been part of the outdoor community since 1987, and their primary market is insect and sun-repellent clothing. For that reason, hiking and backpacking travelers should check out ExOfficio for all their active gear.

ExOfficio also offers an excellent array of travel clothing accessories like bug-repellent hats and bandanas and underwear utilizing comfortable fabrics built specifically for travel. It’s all in the details, and I think that’s where ExOfficio shines.

They also use a range of eco-friendly materials in their underwear and base layers.

ExOfficio is very passionate about the science behind their products. They used advanced fabrics like merino wool clothing and high-tech anti-microbial treatments. I highly encourage you to look at ExOfficio for practical outdoor travel clothing—especially their underwear!

Unbound Merino : Best Merino Wool Selection

Unbound Merino is a brand that takes advantage of one of the best clothing materials available out there—merino wool. They’re one of the best merino wool brands on the market, using very high-quality merino wool, which further boosts the quality of their final products—spectacular travel clothes, especially when it comes to shirts and tops.

But let’s talk fabric for a moment. Merino wool is a particular type of wool with spectacular temperature regulation and anti-bacterial properties. It is a wrinkle-resistant fabric that keeps you comfortable in warm or cold weather. It’s also a natural material and is one of the most sustainable fabrics out there!

Unbound Merino has harnessed this merino wool perfectly. They keep fashion in mind when designing simple garments with all the power of this glorious fabric. One shirt can take you from the airport to a city tour to a nice dinner on the town, and still look and smell great at every stage of the day thanks to the anti-bacterial properties.

Unbound Merino has become my go-to for merino wool clothing, largely because of their versatility. They pack in a great travel style that’s ready for everything from urban travel to lounging in the hotel room.

Unbound Merino also pledges to use high-quality fabrics and to avoid fast fashion tactics. In terms of spectacular textile and lightweight clothing, Unbound Merino is undoubtedly one of my favorites for comfortable travel.

Ably : Best Stain-Resistant Clothes

Ably is another one of those brands that value smart and practical clothing for people who are often on the road. They are a Seattle-based brand whose mission is to design odor-, sweat-, water-, and wrinkle-resistant clothing that will be your go-to for any situation.

That’s a tall order, so how do they do it? Ably uses a unique lightweight fabric called Filium. It’s moisture-resistant, odor-blocking, and fast-drying. Together, these attributes work together to form stunning travel clothing, especially for those of you prone to spilling drinks on your clothing (guilty as charged).

I’m particularly fond of the neutral style of Ably clothing—you can mix and match most items. This easy pairing allows you to pack fewer pieces of clothing so you can fill up your suitcase with souvenirs instead!

Furthermore, unlike many mainstream clothing companies, Ably truly cares about quality, and their clothing shows it. Ably has high-quality items that resist spills, sweat, stains, and nearly all other travel-related unpleasantness.

Athleta : Best Women's Travel Clothes

Athleta is one of the more mainstream websites on this list and boasts an extensive catalog to match. This brand is consequently one of my top recommendations for the casual female traveler (and my female team members agree!).

From bottoms to jackets and t-shirts to dresses, Athleta undoubtedly has something for everyone. Athleta also uses durable materials in tandem with quality manufacturing, so you’ll get the same level of comfort in a maxi-dress as you would with a pair of yoga pants.

The aesthetically pleasing yet subtle style is best deployed in cities—taking in the sights, catching a show, having relaxing evenings out, or just chilling in everyday life. However, Athleta’s performance-focused apparel easily earns its place on more adventurous excursions or simple trips to the hotel gym.

Athleta seems to have chiseled out a strong following amongst yoga aficionados thanks to their durable, comfortable, and breathable active leggings and tops. The apparel doesn’t come cheap, but it’s still an excellent travel clothing brand that covers the entire field from casual to activewear.

Vessi Footwear : Best Travel Shoes

Vess i Footwear is an innovative brand that took the typical sneaker model and made it four-season. Their travel shoes are designed for rainy or snowy weather thanks to remarkable waterproofing technology. And yes, I do mean waterproof⁠—I’ve tested Vessi shoes myself, and they’re remarkably watertight.

What’s more, the unique knit material has all the comfort of your favorite pair of slippers for unparalleled foot comfort while traveling. You have three types of sneakers to choose from: the Everyday Sneaker, the Cityscape, and the Everyday Slip-On. All three versions come in both men’s and women’s versions, and each has particular strengths.

Check out my complete review of Vessi footwear if you want to know more.

Vessi literally designed these shoes from scratch as a startup and funded their project through a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. The science behind the waterproof knit pattern is incredible, and the shoe cushion is anti-bacterial. No stinky feet!

These travel shoes are perfect for just about everyone out there. From snow to rain and casual to classy, these shoes do everything.

Icebreaker : Best For Travel Baselayers

Icebreaker is another excellent company that uses merino wool for the vast majority of their products. While they have a broad range of general clothing that’s perfect for travel days, they also produce a very intriguing line of performance clothing aimed at hiking and adventure.

This diversity means that Icebreaker can be your one-stop-shop for all your travel clothing, casual or otherwise. Merino wool is their material of choice because it naturally inhibits bacterial growth and thereby reduces odor while at the same time providing excellent temperature regulation.

The properties of Icebreaker’s high-tech fabrics will keep you warm in colder weather but also help cool you down in the heat by staying breathable and wicking sweat away from your body. This is a huge advantage over cotton t-shirts, which absorb sweat and don’t dry quickly. They also offer great sun protection for long days outside.

Merino is genuinely a fabric unlike any other, and any brand that focuses on wool clothing is a prime target for your wardrobe. I’m particularly fond of Icebreaker’s wool baselayers. They’re great for staying warm on chilly planes or layering up for a colder day exploring a new city or landscape. I include a pair of wool pants for just about every trip I take, and I never regret bringing them.

Overall, Icebreaker makes high-quality travel clothes designed to roll with the punches and stick with you wherever you go. Trust me, merino wool will change your entire outlook on travel clothes. There’s no other material out there that will look so stylish and suitable for any occasion, and yet work so hard to keep you comfortable and smelling great. In fact, they make several of our favorite travel shirts.

Western Rise : Best Men's Travel Clothes

Western Rise is a perfect brand for the minimalist male travelers out there. They focus on neutral and durable clothing that will work in many different capacities. While you won’t see many bright colors or patterns, you will get high-quality clothing that will match with anything else in your wardrobe.

Though their clothing may be simple, it has so many different uses and benefits to make so much more than your standard tee. For example, Western Rise cotton shirts include odor and wrinkle-resistant technology, allowing you to dress with confidence for every situation.

The secret behind this odor and wrinkle-free material? Merino wool! Did I mention that I love merino wool? Recall that wool fabric is naturally odor-resistant and less prone to wrinkles than plain cotton. Western Rise, therefore, produces an excellent blend of the two materials that allow you to wear their products just about anywhere.

Their pants are just as impressive, with a nylon-elastane blend for ultimate comfort and durability. Western Rise is a brand that genuinely allows you to go from the city to outdoors in the same outfit.

Their basic design approach also helps with overall travel outfitting, allowing you to easily dress up their clothing without having to include separate fashion outfits while packing.

So remember, Western Rise is absolute wardrobe basics, but the nicest basics you can buy. I’m also a sucker for a company that cares deeply about its material quality, and Western Rise makes a definite point of addressing its design and material selection process on its website.

The company is also very interested in social responsibility and is working to become a net-zero carbon emissions company. Western Rise is perfect for travelers who need minimalist clothing that will work in many different scenarios for many trips to come.

KÜHL : Best Travel Pants

KÜHL is one of my favorite travel clothing brands. They produce clothes for men and women that are well-made with a particular focus on hiking. They’re well known for their travel and hiking pants , which feature a trim yet rugged design that’s durable enough for any trail but minimalist enough for a day navigating city streets.

What I mean by “minimalist” is that these travel pants don’t feature any overt logos, bulkiness, or patterns. Just a simple, well-made design that extends to all KÜHL products. That makes them perfect travel pants.

For all you women out there, KÜHL even has an exciting activewear dress collection. The fabric ranges from mighty merino wool to standard cotton, but each one is incredibly cozy and perfect to wear on the road.

I also love that KÜHL has many products that combine all the benefits of technical fabrics with understated designs that can fit your personal style. That’s great for anyone who likes to pack light for one-bag travel and needs travel clothing that can fill multiple purposes, from hiking to dressing up to go out for the night.

All in all, KÜHL is ideal if you need some simple, well-made pieces to incorporate into your wardrobe. Also, because the clothing isn’t bulky, it won’t take up too much room as you’re packing. These travel clothes are ideal for anyone who likes well-made clothing designed by an independent company that will fit perfectly in their suitcase!

Darn Tough Socks : Best Travel Socks

Socks are essential, and Darn Tough is a well-known sock brand from Vermont, USA. Without a doubt, these are my go-to socks for any occasion, and I love them. I’ve owned at least five pairs, and I never leave home without them.

These merino wool socks genuinely live up to the company name, and they’ll last trip after trip and season after season with hardly any signs of wear and tear. They are durable, warm, and breathable, and they feature merino wool’s natural odor resistance. Merino is the best material for base layers, and that includes your socks!

The natural temperature-regulating properties of wool also makes these socks ideal for both cold and hot weather. Their designed to keep your feet comfortable no matter the temperature. They also sell a wide range of sock thicknesses, from super lightweight running socks to thick, cushy winter ones.

Darn Tough invests a tremendous amount of effort in sourcing high-quality natural fabrics and craftsmanship for these socks. They’re not limited to outdoor adventure either⁠—the comfortable, moisture-wicking, and durable design is just as useful for airports, cities, and museums.

Simply search on their website, and I’m sure you’ll find a pair you love. Darn Toughs has a considerable array of sock styles and designs, but they all feature merino wool’s signalture soft feel and comfort.

The best part of Darn Tough is their warranty. Unlike many brands, they really stand behind their products. If you ever wear out your socks, send them back and they’ll ship you a new pair. No questions asked, no receipt needed. While these socks seem expensive, that extra cost is actually quite affordable pricing considering you are buying a pair of socks that will last the rest of your life!

If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I am a huge fan of Darn Tough socks. Get some! You might even be able to pass them down to your grandkids.

Eddie Bauer : Best Travel Jackets

Eddie Bauer is an extremely well-known travel clothing brand with plenty of options for both men and women. For my part, I love their travel pants think they’re one of the best jacket brands out there. Their Guide Pro pants are water-resistant, stretchy, and very swish. Meanwhile, the jackets are lightweight, breathable, stylish, and perfect for men or women.

I also have an Eddie Bauer down parka that I love. I can wear it during the day and stay comfortable without overheating. Meanwhile, my favorite pair of Guide Pro pants look at home on the trail, in a restaurant, or just lounging around.

My emphasis on their pants and jackets is not to imply that I’m not a fan of Eddie Bauer shirts, however. They offer a wide variety in both technical and cotton that are appropriate for casual or activewear. Take note that I feel that their shirts are a little on the boxy side, and they wouldn’t be my first choice to dress to impress, but they’re functional nevertheless. In particular, I think Eddie Bauer makes great shirts for sun protection while hiking in warmer weather.

Eddie Bauer designs all their clothing with versatility in mind. Their clothing is ideal for camping, fishing, hiking, and general travel. You can wear their clothes anywhere, anytime.

Eddie Bauer also believes in sourcing the raw materials for their clothing responsibly, and so they partner with other associations to make sure they’re doing their part for conservation efforts. By and large they use eco-friendly fabrics and ethical manufacturing.

Let’s review the basics: Eddie Bauer is an outdoor and travel clothing brand has comfortable, stylish clothing that’s perfect for men and women travelers for a vast range of activities, and they also focus on conservation efforts! Who doesn’t want to shop there?

Mountain Hardwear : Most Durable Travel Clothes

Mountain Hardwear is one of those cool brands that craft tough gear that you’ll want to wear forever, and it will last just as long. Seriously, I have a fleece from Mountain Hardwear that I’ve worn up mountains on four continents over five years, and it’s still on the top of my packing list for every trip.

Generally speaking, Mountain Hardwear has a wide range of impressive clothing that will fit just about any traveling dress code. Their travel clothing line includes casual shirts for run-of-the-mill use, heavy-duty adventure gear crafted from exceptionally durable fabrics, travel pants suitable for mountains or museums, and more stylish tops and button-up shirts to dress up for a night out.

Mountain Hardwear’s usefulness for travelers extends beyond clothes. They make an impressive line of backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags to fully equip the adventurous folks out there.

Finally, their fabrics are designed to last in the long run (just like my traveling fleece). Every piece of clothing exhibits excellent construction and quality, making Mountain Hardwear a trustworthy purveyor of all things travel clothing related.

There you go, travelers! We’ve covered the very best travel clothing brands out there to make sure you’re fully kitted out for your next adventure, wherever that may be.

There are plenty of durable and reliable choices, no matter if you’re visiting a city or a remote backcountry trail. We’ve likewise covered plenty of style options ranging from subtle and minimalist to more flashy and snazzy, depending on your taste.

The Very Best Travel Gear of the Last Year, According to Our Readers

By Madison Flager and Meaghan Kenny

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

2023 was an incredible year for travel— new hotel openings , emerging destinations , and trending food scenes brought us further around the world. And with all that travel comes lots of new gear that editors and readers alike loved. From carry-on essentials and cozy loungewear that make long-haul flights a little more comfortable to supportive walking shoes built for those days when you're clocking 20,000 steps, we tested out some pretty great travel gear this past year—and recommended our favorites to you along the way.

As we plan our next big adventures, we're taking a look back on the products that resonated most with Condé Nast Traveler readers in these last 12 months. Below, you'll find the 16 most-purchased Traveler -recommended items of 2023, from lightweight travel pillows and noise-canceling headphones to tote bags you'll wear everywhere. Consider these our best travel gear recommendations of the year, available to shop now in case you missed any the first time around.

Find the best travel gear by category:

In-flight essentials, versatile travel bags, comfortable walking shoes, cozy loungewear, leakproof toiletry bottles, noise-canceling headphones, a supportive exercise dress, waterproof gear, a portable steamer.

Our readers could not get enough of this travel pillow from Trtl this past year. It's much different than your classic travel pillow : shaped like a supportive wrap for your neck, it takes up little space in your carry-on and weighs only 4.5 ounces. Bring this on your next long-haul flight, train ride, or road trip—your head and neck will thank you later.

If you're headed on a red-eye flight, a sleep mask is a non-negotiable. You loved this one for its unique, contoured shape: It has raised sections over your eyes so it's not too restrictive or uncomfortable to sleep in, but lies flat around the nose and eyebrows to effectively block out light while you catch some ZZZs. It's easy to see why this Amazon bestseller has racked up over 71,000 five-star reviews.

Never eat off of a dirty airplane seat tray again! This $30 travel essential is a complete game changer—especially when you're stuck with limited space in the middle seat. The slim, lightweight cover slips over your seat tray like a pillow case, lending you a clean surface to eat and work on. It also features a few handy compartments to hold your Kindle, water bottle, earbuds, and any other in-flight must-haves.

Is there a more stressful feeling than thinking you've lost your luggage? Our readers clearly think not, since Apple AirTags were among the most-purchased travel gear in 2023. Slip one of these tiny tags into your checked bags, duffels, or backpacks so you know exactly where your personal belongings are each step of the way. Use the Find My app on your phone to track your tag and never worry about where your luggage is ever again.

Is there a travel bag more versatile or more chic than good leather tote? Traveler contributor Lydia Mansel raved about Cuyana's popular Classic Easy Zipper Tote . The brand gave the Easy Tote a little facelift in 2023—it can now be fully zipped, making it an even more secure travel companion. It's lightweight, sleek, and the quality speaks for itself. You'll have this thing for years to come.

Calpak's Luka duffel is the perfect travel bag for weekend trips or long-haul flights (we like to use it as a personal item ). Carry it by its soft top handles or by its long adjustable strap. Features we love: the separate shoe compartment, trolley sleeve, and the several internal pockets to keep you organized. I've used many duffel bags over the years, but this one reigns supreme.

Every packing list has to have a pair of comfortable walking shoes on it. We appreciate the effortless cool look and feel of New Balance shoes, especially the 547 Core sneaker. There's no break-in time needed and I've never gotten any blisters after wearing these—even after a long day trip.

If you haven't tried a pair of Allbirds yet, what are you waiting for? The brand is known for its ultra-lightweight, comfortable kicks—the kind that make sightseeing all day long on your feet a breeze. The Tree Runners are versatile enough to pack on any trip and take up little suitcase space.

We all need some comfortable loungewear, whether you're working from home, boarding a long flight, or just relaxing in your hotel room. We love matching sets like one from Cozy Earth—the pullover and joggers are supremely soft, cool to the touch, and offer a perfectly relaxed fit without being too baggy.

When it comes to packing toiletries like shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and moisturizer, you're going to need some leakproof, reusable travel bottles . Our editors swear by Cadence capsules: These airtight, magnetic capsules stay neatly together in your Dopp kit , take up little space, and are designed without any right angles or edges, so you can get as much product out as possible (this also makes them so easy to clean). Customize everything about your Cadence set—from the color and size to the number of capsules to what each label says. And while the original small capsules are a nice size for short trips, you can also grab the The Extender —an add-on that allows you to increase the size of the bottle when you need more room.

When Amazon Prime Day rolled around in July and then again in October, noise-canceling headphones were scooped up in droves. There are a lot of popular options on the market we love, like the Beats Studio3 wireless headphones. They'll block out all that extra noise on your next flight and let you comfortably listen to all your favorite movies in peace.

More noise-canceling gear we recommend: the Apple AirPods Pro wireless ear buds. If you haven't tried these yet, now is the perfect time. These tiny earbuds come in an ultra-compact case that is small enough to fit in a crossbody bag or running waist pack. I use these every day—while I'm hiking, running, commuting to the office, and everything in between.

Exercise dresses are still having a moment. The sporty yet feminine dress is reimagining activewear—it can be worn just as effortlessly to a workout class or a game of pickleball as it can be to a lunch date. Of our favorite styles, you loved this option from Outdoor Voices most. It offers breathable built-in shorts, adjustable straps, and side pockets, with a flattering silhouette that's neither tight nor restrictive. We have a feeling these will be just as popular again come spring.

Packing an umbrella seems like a waste of space, until you find yourself in a downpour without one. Traveler contributor Claire Volkman put a dozen options to the test ; this sturdy, wind-resistant, lightweight, and compact option from Weatherman was her favorite overall.

Keep your phone safe while at the beach, in a kayak, or on a boat with this waterproof pouch from Pelican. It comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck, but if it does go overboard, you can rest easy knowing it'll float on the surface.

It's nearly impossible to keep clothes wrinkle-free in your suitcase. This becomes especially tricky when you're traveling for a special occasion, say a destination wedding , and you need to touch up formal wear upon arrival. This lightweight, portable steamer was a huge hit with our readers—and we see why: It weighs less than a pound, is easy to pack in your suitcase, and offers 10 minutes of continuous steam. The Nesugar steamer comes with a convenient wall mount, too, so you can keep it neat and tidy back at home.

Out of stock, baltic warmth..

When the weather turns your city into the Arctic Circle this winter, slip into the Parajumpers Women's Moscow Down Parka and stroll down wide, snow-lined boulevards in warmth and style.

A faux fur lining and raccoon fur hood add more softness to the parka, while a full-length front zipper and hand pockets add a dash of practicality.

• Prepare for Arctic temps with this warm parka
• Relaxed fit accommodates chunky knit layers
• Down fill insulates against icy temperatures
• Laminated shell shields against water and wind
• Full-length zipper and 2 hand pockets for convenience
• Item #PJM001E

Kyle Richards Said These ‘Soft and Cozy’ Bestselling Leggings Are a Travel ‘Essential’

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

From all of the trips that have come with being on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to the ones required of being on set as an actress, Kyle Richards knows how to dress for travel like a pro. With all of the trips she’s taken, we have to assume she’s put hundreds of clothing items to the test to find out which ones work best while on the road. So to know she’s called a pair of $23 leggings a travel “essential” — we know they’ve got to be good.

In an Amazon livestream showcasing her “Vacay Getaway Essentials,” the 55-year-old shared that the Fullsoft High Waisted Leggings were some of her favorites. She noted that she pairs them with a white hoodie for a cozy-but-cute airport outfit.

“These are essential to wear when traveling, these soft pants,” she said. “They’re leggings, but they don’t feel like workout leggings. They’re so soft and cozy.”

Get the Fullsoft 3-Pack High Waisted Leggings for just $23 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, April 11, 2024, but are subject to change.

One of the features of the leggings she likes the most is their tummy-control waistline. “They have this high waist here,” she said. “That’s always good to have, a little band here that holds my stomach in, so I like that.” But we also have to assume she loves their non-see-through, four-way stretch fabric too, made of a polyester-spandex blend.

Richards is far from the only one who’s fallen into the hype of these leggings. On top of being an Amazon bestseller, over 20,000 shoppers have come back to the site to give the product a five-star rating, usually accompanied by a rave review. Not to mention, over 1,000 packs of these leggings have been bought just this last month.

Fullsoft 3-Pack High Waisted Leggings

Backing up Richards’ claim, this shopper said they wore these leggings “for two long haul flights and for walking all over Japan.”

“They are super comfortable and flattering, and the waistband lays flat to wear under dresses or tunics (which I did),” they said. “I am short and curvy, and the stretch and softness is just perfect. [They’re] easy to hand wash and line dry quickly.”

Shhh, Madewell Is Having an Under-the-radar Sale on Spring Clothes Right Now — Shop 12 Picks Up to 71% Off

Just don’t wait too long, these deals are selling fast.

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

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

No matter the season, Madewell has long been the shopping destination for classic, breezy apparel that channels an effortless vibe through elevated basics and thoughtful silhouettes. However, the retailer is particularly well-suited for the warmer months, as its offerings for spring are some of the most stylish we’ve seen this year — as well as perfect for building a dream packing list for your upcoming travels. 

Below, we’ve rounded up the 12 best travel wardrobe pieces hiding within the Madewell sale section, from flowing maxi skirts to the best, packable crossbody purse for avoiding theft. Whether you prefer to equip your suitcase with the basics or are instead looking to add some fun prints into your repertoire, there’s sure to be something for everyone here. And with discounts up to 71 percent off, you’ll be able to stick within your budget as well. 

The Emmett Wide-Leg Crop Pant

Simple denim will never go out of style, but if you really want to upgrade your travel wardrobe this spring, these bright cotton pants will certainly do the trick. A best-seller at Madewell, these cropped pants add a bold pop of color to any outfit, instantly creating a more visually interesting look — all while keeping you comfortable while you’re sightseeing, shopping, or going out to dinner. The high-waisted design is effortlessly flattering on a wide range of body types, and a forgiving stretchy material ensures you’ll never feel restricted by your clothing. Best of all, the style is also available in petite and tall sizes.

Pleated Short-Sleeve Top

Veer away from simple T-shirts this season with this stunning pleated top that shows that the resurgence of the peplum trend doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. Another best-seller, this adorable top is adorned with buttons down the front and the perfect cropped fit to hit at just the right spot above your high-waisted pants. Wider sleeves allow for a comfortable range of movement if you’re wearing this on a flight and need to be able to remove your suitcase from the overhead bin with ease, and with five gorgeous shades to choose from (at varying sale prices), your wardrobe is about to get a major upgrade. 

The Piazza Crossbody Bag

Everyone needs a reliable purse to bring on every vacation that will keep their belongings safe, and we’re confident that the Piazza Crossbody Bag is just that. By nature, a crossbody is one of the most secure purse styles to ward off potential theft, and with a long adjustable strap and a drawstring and magnet closure, this pouch is practically made for travel. Plus, it’s large enough to carry everything from the basics (wallet, phone, and keys), to a tablet, a camera, or even a book if you desire.

Cropped Cargo Jacket

If you struggle to find the perfect jacket for spring that’s just warm enough without causing you to overheat, fear not, because this cropped cargo jacket is here to save the day. The casual design makes it well-suited to wear with anything from a simple pair of jeans to a flowing maxi dress for all of your upcoming occasions. Seeing as it’s made from 100 percent cotton, you can rest assured that this jacket will be with you season after season while staying in impeccable condition no matter how many trips you pack it for. 

Satin Maxi Slip Skirt

There are few pieces quite as versatile as a breezy maxi skirt, so we suggest snapping up this best-selling essential while it’s on sale for as little as $74 in four spring-ready shades. This wardrobe staple is made from a breathable blend of polyester and viscose that creates the perfect drapey finish that elevates anything it’s paired with. An elastic waistband keeps this skirt comfortable above all, so from the airport to the streets of your destination, you’ll be able to take it all on in style.

Katrina Crop Vest Top

Menswear style isn’t going anywhere this spring, and this endlessly cool vest top is guaranteed to become one of the most reached-for pieces in your closet whether you’re traveling or getting dressed up for a day of running errands. A blend of tencel and polyester keeps this top from wrinkling as much as other fabrics (a major win for travelers), and while the flattering fit makes it easy to dress up, it can also be worn with something as simple as a pair of jeans and sneakers to give your street style some edge.

Crinkle Cotton Dolphin-Hem Shorts

Denim shorts are certainly not loved by everyone, so if you still want to show off your legs this season without slipping into rigid, unforgiving material, these best-selling cotton shorts are for you. The pull-on design makes them ideal for travel days when you’re in a hurry or are simply aiming to build an outfit that’s both comfy and cute, and a mid-thigh length means chafing will be kept to a minimum. Just snag the matching button-up shirt and you have your new go-to travel outfit for spring.

Ribbed Polo Cardigan Sweater

There’s a special place in any wardrobe for a cozy cardigan to wear from your flight to a day of activities during your travels, and this ribbed option from Madewell is here to vie for that spot — especially while it’s on sale for $80. This top stands apart from other cardigans due to the polo-style collar and pocket details, while a slightly cropped length is great for when the weather begins to warm up if you don’t want to be swimming in excess fabric. Wear it with jeans, over a dress, or styled with a maxi skirt, but you can rest assured that this sweater will always allow you to look your best.

Superbrushed Pull-On Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are one of those styles that always look pulled-together while still capturing the comfort that’s essential to any good travel wardrobe. This pull-on, cropped jumpsuit is no exception, and just in time for spring it’s now on sale at Madewell for $75. Its ultra-soft, brushed material is one of the major highlights of this piece, while the pull-on design promises to maximize your overall comfort while flying, so you don’t have to worry about too-tight fabric digging into your skin. It’s perfect for layering or wearing on its own, but no matter how you style it, this best-selling jumpsuit is sure to be an asset.

Signature Poplin Oversized Shirt

Whether you choose to wear it as a beach cover-up or a breezy top layer for a day of sightseeing, this oversized button-down shirt is guaranteed to play numerous roles in your spring wardrobe, and right now it’s available for just $40 at Madewell. A simple striped shirt will never go out of style, and the quality cotton that this option is made from only further confirms that it will occupy a valuable slot in your closet (or packing cubes) for years to come. This shirt is the peak of versatility as it can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, so no matter what’s on your agenda, you’ll always be prepared when you have it in your suitcase. 

Madewell x Reebok Unisex Club C 85 Sneakers

Take your sneaker game to the next level this spring with this comfy and cool collaboration from Madewell and Reebok that’s so stylish, it’s selling out fast. Currently on sale for $68, these well-cushioned shoes boast durable leather exteriors and cushy, padded tongues that will feel comfortable from the very first wear. Supportive insoles provide everything you need to feel fresh on your feet during a long day of touring a new city, and spacious toe boxes give you space to spread out for a more natural fit. The reign of plain white sneakers has finally come to an end. 

Wide V-Neck Midi Dress

It’s a safe bet that at least one night during your travels you’ll want to go out for a slightly nicer dinner, and when that time comes, you’ll be happy to have this stunning midi dress in your suitcase, ready to go. Now on sale for a whopping 71 percent off, this lightweight and classy dress is the perfect spring go-to thanks to the delicate cap sleeves, tasteful side slit, and flattering V-neck cut. While the brown floral pattern is sporting the most significant discount right now, the dress is also available in three other shades that will all be welcome additions to your spring capsule wardrobe.
