We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. Slouchy overalls made with lightweight fabric *and* deep pockets, which are both essential while traveling. And the fact that you can wear these with so many different shirts underneath (we're talking tank tops, T-shirt, long-sleeved, turtlenecks), means this is a versatile piece you'll wear several times during the trip.
Some reviewers recommend sizing down, unless you're tall!
Promising review: "The pocket in front is very handy. It feels like I'm wearing nothing. The overalls are light and flow-y. The fabric quality could be better — it may not last long, but it's inexpensive. I get so many compliments when I wear them. I wore them for plane travel and on the beach in Maui and Mexico and were perfect for all. Would I purchase again? Hell yeah. Size down possibly, they are slightly large." —Jamie Pauluk
Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 17 colors and prints).
2. A pair of affordable high-waisted leggings so comfortable, you may never step foot on a plane without them on your body, as one reviewer swears. They're made with 5% Spandex and have an option that has pockets so you don't misplace your boarding pass right before your group is called.
Promising review: "I travel a lot and now won't get on a plane without wearing them. They are comfortable and thick enough and they have a deep pocket on each side. I put my boarding passes, ID, and credit cards in one pocket, and my phone and ear piece in the other so I'm hands free and can put my purse in my carry on without having to open it. The leggings look great with tunics or longer tops/sweaters and boots. They're also great for road trips and of course everyday use. I have them in navy, brown, and black so far. I also have the shorts version in pink and light blue to go under sundresses in the summer. I highly recommend these leggings." —JoJoBrew
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and plus sizes, three lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).
3. An off-the-shoulder maxi for an effortless look you can quickly grab when you spend too much time at the pool and have approximately five minutes to get ready before your dinner reservation. Reviewers confirm this maxi is stretchy, easy to wear, and (one of the best parts), has pockets!!
Promising review: "I bought this dress for my trip to Hawaii. It was my favorite dress I wore on this trip!! I bought a large thinking the medium may be too tight, but I could have been fine with a medium because of how stretchy and comfortable the material is. Buying more colors for sure!!!"—Maria E. Montoya
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 17 colors and prints).
4. A pair of ankle pants you can wear on planes, trains, and buses, as one reviewer confirms. They're also wrinkle-resistant, which means you won't have to pack a steamer (because that's always more work than you need to deal with when your OOO is set).
Promising review: "I wore these pants on a vacay to the EU and UK. They are so comfortable! They were part of my attire on the day we went to see Stonehenge, so I wore them on trains, buses, and on the Tube in London. I usually have reservations about buying clothing online without trying them on, but these pants are like a dream! Lightweight and stylish to boot! Will be a lifelong customer!" —Julie S.
Get them from Anatomie for $248 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors).
5. A long-sleeve boho dress about to be your new favorite because it's super fun yet easy to wear. It's perfect for a nice dinner out or even a day of exploring. And as a bonus — it doesn't wrinkle so you don't have to worry about ironing during your trip.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS DRESS. I was hesitant to buy this because it was for a vacation. Because it's made of rayon, I was concerned about how well it would travel. I shouldn’t have worried. I iron a LOT of our clothes, but I can honestly say that this dress came out of the suitcase really nicely. I just hung it in the closet and the few wrinkles fell away. I wore this dress more on our vacay than any other one because it’s so diverse. Even when it got wet, it dried nicely and quickly. It’s a winner! Will be ordering more soon." —Sheri Terrell
Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 color combos).
6. A pair of paper bag belted pants reviewers swear are comfy enough to travel in because sometimes you don't want to wear leggings on the flight (yes, it does happen.) And if you're traveling for work, these are perfect to wear while you give that big presentation you've been working so hard on.
Promising review: "I wore them for five hours of travel plus lots of movement, and they were great. I thought they looked reasonably polished with a tucked-in blouse and a cardigan. I don't need them in different colors, but if I did, I'd buy another pair." —Amy
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 16–24 and six prints, also in two-pair sets).
7. A fitted sports and yoga tank with a padded bra perfect to wear with high-waisted leggings (or jeans) and any sweater or sweatshirt over it. Then once you get to your destination, and it's too warm for the second layer, you can just wear the tank on its own.
Reviewers recommend ordering one size up for a more comfortable fit.
Promising review: "It’s very comfortable for working out and traveling, too! It looks great on. I’m a small in tops, but I ordered a medium, and it fits perfectly fine. It’s super comfortable, not super fitted, but just about right." —Kevin Shah
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors).
8. A two-piece tank top and shorts set that's super darling and pretty much guaranteed to get you a TON of compliments. And the best part is that you don't even have to put thought into putting an outfit together — just throw on the top and bottom, and you're G2G.
Promising review: "I got so many compliments when wearing this set on vacation in Hawaii! The top is very comfortable and cropped at just the right length. The shorts were a little see through, but for the price, they were very comfortable." —Courtney Smith
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors/patterns).
9. A button-down A-line skirt for a cute style that will still keep you covered enough that you don't have to add a scarf over your outfit when you go into a European church with a dress code.
Promising review: "This skirt is so versatile. I usually have a hard time finding skirts because I have wider hips so skirts that are longer create a weird silhouette. This skirt is not that. I have been able to wear it to work and feel super comfortable. The fabric is sturdy, and it has a little of a wrinkled look so it is great to travel with. I would recommend this skirt to anyone who is looking for some flare in their wardrobe but doesn't want to break the bank. I got this skirt in red and plan on getting it in a few more colors. Also, it was true to size." —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
10. A knee-length halter dress available in a variety of colors and prints, so you'll for sure be able to find one (or two) that fit the vibe of your vacation. Whatever you pick, you'll have a great option that'll keep you feeling cool, comfortable, and stylish the whole time.
Promising review: "A friend of mine got this dress, and it looked gorgeous on her, so I went ahead and ordered it. I love this dress, and I am so glad I ordered it. It’s lined and has a removable matching belt. I washed mine separately and hung it to dry, and it looks like new. This dress is easy for travel and pretty wrinkle-free. I have ordered 3 more prints, and I can’t wait to get them. Highly recommend." —sherrie
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 46 styles).
11. A pair of Reebok classic shoes I can personally say are great travel shoes because they're basically all I wore during a trip to DC/Philadelphia. Not only are they super stylish, but they're comfortable and look good with everything from jeans, to leggings, and even dresses. A true 10/10 shoe.
I was really trying to not bring a lot of shoes on my trip (because they take up SO much luggage space), so I decided to bring these and two other pairs. I ended up wearing these every day of the trip and was comfortable the whole time, even the day we walked more than 20,000 steps. I wore them with semi-dressy and more casual looks, and I didn't feel like they clashed with anything. You really can't go wrong with these on-trend shoes.
Promising review: "These shoes are comfy enough to be on my feet for eight hours at a time for work, and they're still stylish. After my first ones lasted me two years, I have come back to buy a second pair. These shoes are definitely more suited for normal to narrow feet, and I wouldn't recommend them if you have particularly wide feet. They are also super easy to clean in the washing machine or with a wet wipe in a pinch." —Ommy
Get them from Reebok for $90 (available in sizes 5–16.5 and in five colors).
12. A flowy tank dress that's essentially made with the same material as pajamas. This means you can wear it on the flight with your favorite jean jacket and be comfortable the whole time, but still be ready to go as soon as you step off the plane. Vacation starts N-O-W.
13. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans here to make you feel so on trend without compromising on your comfort. And the best part about these jeans? They'll instantly elevate any top you already have packed in your suitcase.
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime you can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I was on the hunt for that perfect 'French girl' jean for my trip to Paris to wear with a white button-up and trench coat. and I’m shocked that these fit. I’m 5’0 and have short legs, long torso, and these are the perfect length, just brushing the top of my shoes. So comfortable with stretch stretch but also enough structure. I may buy another pair when I get home from France!" —Melanie Abrams
Get them from Amazon for $55.60+ (available in sizes 22–32 Standard and 35–39 Plus and in 16 washes).
14. Or a pair of pull-on Levi's jeans reviewers love because they look like jeans but feel like sweatpants. And the best part — they maintain their shape for several wears, which is essential when you have limited packing space.
Promising review: "Do these jeans make my butt look AMAZING??? Why yes, yes they do. These are amazing. Great for travel because they are comfy, yet don’t get loose and stretchy. They maintain their shape for several wears between washing. You can dress them up or down. My new go-to jeans. Ordered my usual size, and they got like a glove. I have a short inseam, so these fit me a little below the ankle." —Kettlebell Swinger
Get it from Amazon for $20.37+ (available in sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 18 colors).
15. A stretchy drawstring jumpsuit so comfortable yet stylish, you won't mind staying in it for the rest of the day after the flight lands. Plus, it can totally double as a swimsuit cover-up when you head to the pool!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this romper. The stretch is amazing! I originally ordered a large based on reviews and it was way too big so I decided to order the medium and even that was big so I decided to order one more time and did the small and that fit perfectly! This romper is sooo comfy, perfect for traveling, running errands or just lounging in." —Yvonne
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors/prints).
16. A two-piece midi dress outfit you'll be ~dying~ to wear as soon as you get to your destination — as a beach coverup or just a great dinner outfit. You're bound to have a great time when you wear this amazing outfit.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this outfit!! It is cute, sexy, and comfortable to wear. I bought this outfit as a 'travel outfit' to wear while going to the beach!! I should have bought two at the same time, but I didn't! I definitely will be ordering more colors next time."—Moni
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XL–5X and in 38 colors and patterns)
17. A Hackwith Design House shirt actually made to be worn six different ways. This fact alone makes it a great shirt to travel with. But you're going to like the styles so much, I can pretty much guarantee you'll wear it more than once during your trip.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
18. A printed cover-up that will be the pop of color your travel wardrobe needs. Throw it on over your swimsuit, put it over a dress with a belt, or even with just a plain T-shirt and jeans. The possibilities are endless.
Promising review: "I love a good coverup that can make my travel wardrobe versatile. I took this on vacation and was able to wear it with cotton Capri leggings, shorts and even over the top of a black dress for a little extra coverage in a cold restaurant." —Janna
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in one size fits most and in 44 colors and patterns).
19. A cami jumper one reviewer calls the "best travel outfit of all time." You can wear this on its own, or with a bralette, tank, T-shirt, or even long-sleeved shirt. Think about all those possible outfits!
Pssst! Reviewers also say this is a great option during pregnancy because it's bump-friendly and works long after baby is born!
Promising review: "This romper is so comfy. It is the best travel outfit of all time. You can dress it up or down. Wear it out for dinner or just to get groceries. I’m buying more in other colors!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in 20 colors, prints, and styles).
20. A pair of joggers actually made with wrinkle-resistant fabric, so it doesn't matter has small you roll them up to fit in your suitcase because they'll still look perfect when you get to your destination. And the high-quality fabric means you can wear these in both casual and dressy settings.
Promising review: "This material is the best thing to happen to my wardrobe in a long time. So comfortable, packable, wrinkle resistant, gorgeous colors. Great for casual office days, evenings and weekends. I wish the Delaney joggers were just a wee bit longer; at 5'10" they hit a little higher on leg than I'd prefer but all in all, wonderful pants that get a lot of wear!" —Rebecca H.
Get them from M.M. Lafleur for $90 (originally $225; available in sizes XS–XL and in two colors).
21. A hoodie made with a built-in eye mask. Talk about a game-changer. Put on your hood during your flight, close your eyes, and you'll be there in no time.
It also has a hidden pocket inside the kangaroo pocket to safely hold your valuables (phone, keys, headphone case). Reviewers do say it has an oversized fit, so size down if you want a closer fit.
Pond Los Angeles is an Asian- and woman-owned small business that creates bags and clothing perfect for traveling.
Promising review: "I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flight. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game-changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early morning flight and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It’s comfy, cozy, oversized, and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over-ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER!" —Heather G.
Get it from Pond Los Angeles for $102 (originally $128; available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors)
22. A patterned V-neck skater dress you can totally wear with both sandals and sneakers, making it an incredibly versatile option that will look great in all the pictures you take.
Promising review: "This dress traveled well and was the appropriate knee length for entry into the Vatican and Roman churches. It can be dressed up with a sweater or scarves or dressed down with a jean jacket and sneakers or sandals. These are great all-around dresses, and I have them in solids and floral prints. Great buy!" —JJ
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 28 colors and patterns).
23. A wrap top about to ~wrap~ up any fears you have about not having anything to wear while traveling. This machine-washable, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant shirt can be worn in so many different ways — from a wrap-around style, to a tie front, and even just left long, to name a few. You'll feel like you're wearing a different shirt every time you put it on.
Aday is a woman-founded small biz that creates beautiful and timeless sustainable fashion.
Promising review: "I really like this shirt because of how multi functional it is. Not to mention, it is so breezy during this very hot summer we are experiencing. It doesn’t crease, so it's great for traveling as well." —MI
Get it from Aday for $160 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors).
24. Cozy joggers better to wear while flying than leggings because these are just as comfortable but have super convenient pockets, which you always need more of while traveling.
Promising review: "These pants are amazing. I have worn them in the airport for a full day of traveling and to work with a pair of heels and a jacket. I love the packets, I love the fit, and I get compliments on them all the time. If you are on the fence, to get off of it and go place your order!" —ellen knecht
Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes S–XL, 1X–3X and 20+ colors and prints).
25. A Lululemon scuba half-zip hoodie made with a naturally breathable cotton-blend fleece fabric to keep you warm without overheating. Because I'm convinced that's one of the worst feelings ever, especially when you're on a flight.
Promising reviews: "Found the perfect travel sweater! Very warm and comfortable on airplane rides." —aloha
"Stop debating...just buy it! I have this in pink and black, and it is absolutely my go-to sweatshirt. I wore it as a beach coverup on vacation; I wear it lounging with some joggers, or I love it with my higher-rise leggings." —HeatherRich
Get it from Lululemon for $118 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).
26. A water-resistant packable puffer meant to fold up small (into the included pouch) so you can take it on your adventures and know that you're always covered if it gets a bit colder (or windier) than you expected.
Promising review: "This is the PERFECT travel jacket! It's lightweight but nearly windproof. This coat SAVED ME in the blustering DC spring winds. It folds up into a tiny roll, so it takes no room in your bag. It’s surprisingly warm for such a lightweight coat. So happy to have had it!" —GMS
Get it from Amazon for $34.50+ (available in sizes XS–6X and in 19 colors and patterns).
27. A open-front blazer you'll want to have in your suitcase if you're traveling for work and don't want to show up in a wrinkled jacket. Plus, you can totally wear it with a pair of jeans and feel comfortable enough to hit the highlights of the city during your small chunk of free time.
Promising review: "I love this jacket! It's lightweight and can travel very well! I didn't have to worry about it getting wrinkled when shoving it into a bag on my last work trip." —Erica Robyn
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in sizes 4–22 and 31 colors).
28. An asymmetrical T-shirt dress actually made with a Peruvian cotton blend fabric that is pilling resistant and has incredible bounce-back. You can wear it during the day with sneakers and then swap in some heels for dinner. Vacation is actually the only time I take the same looks from day to night.
Promising reviews: "I was given this dress as a gift about two years ago. It gets a lot of wear — dressed up for nights out, dressed down with flip flops for casual weekends. It’s still in excellent shape and is SO great. I might gift myself some more colors." —Jaime
"I love this dress! It's a perfect dress for taking on a travel adventure because it looks great and packs well. I wish there were more colors available because it sold out fast." —Amy S.
Get it from Universal Standard for $88+ (available in sizes 4XS–4XL, three styles, three sleeve-lengths, and 10 colors).
29. A tie-front midi dress you can wear all day long in even the hottest of places and feel comfortable. Just be prepared for random people to stop you and compliment you in this number.
Promising review: "I got this dress in two colors. They are made from different materials, but I love them both. It feels like your favorite comfy t-shirt. I wore it to travel in, and I was very happy. It looks great, too — the little peekaboo under the bust is just perfect. It stays tied if you knot it well. I like tying it in a bow, but a double knot would be cute. This also means you can adjust the fit for your bust. 10/10 on this one; I want to get more colors/patterns." —Kellyann B
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S-XL and in 15 colors and patterns).
30. A stretchy mid-length pencil skirt reviewers confirm is as comfortable as wearing leggings but looks so much nicer. If you travel a lot for work, or just need a nice bottom option for dinner, this will be your go-to.
Promising reviews: "I really like this skirt. Great quality…I ordered it twice just because I wear it so much for work and travel. It fits true to size. The color, material, fit, and style did not disappoint. I highly recommend!" —Dione
"Love, love, love this skirt!! I would normally wear a medium, but after reading some reviews about how small it ran, I ordered one size up. When I took it out of the bag today and looked at the waist, it looked so small I thought, NO WAY! But, the fabric is so soft and has so much give that it was fine. In minutes, I felt like I was walking around in my PJs! Yes, it’s THAT comfortable! From the side the fit is very close; it looks like I’m wearing leggings. If you think this would feel or look too tight for you, I would try two sizes up rather than one, although the thigh and leg area is the part of the skirt that fits the closest. But, I’m fine with it, and my husband said I look 'great' in it — sleek and well-dressed but not too sexy which was what I was going for since I’ll be wearing it to church! Came back online just now to order more in different colors but decided to write this review first!" —Lisa S.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 22 colors).
31. A rib-knit ruched crop top that has a drawstring down the middle that's adjustable, meaning you can customize it to show as much (or as little) skin as you want. Combine this feature with the soft fabric and trendy style, and you've got yourself a winner of a top.
Promising reviews: "I bought this top for my trip to Paris, and it fit perfectly! The material is very soft and comfortable. Would definitely recommend." —Manee Her
"I love this shirt. You can wear it at several different lengths. It is a soft stretchy material. Not see-through at all. Very comfortable for wearing all day and night. Pair this with a skirt or cute pair of jeans!" —Katrina
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in six colors).
