Inevitably I hit a point in every long travel trip when I start to run out of things to wear. I will admit that I am not the best at packing! One thing I have found interesting is when I start to have that ‘welp, I have worn every planned outfit’ feeling, I begin to shop my suitcase and force myself to be more creative. I look at items differently and pieces I didn’t intend to wear together start to make sense. I end up forcing myself to be a bit more imaginative and many times will create looks that I love much more than the original looks that I had in mind.

I still have more content to share from NYC and Prague, but today I thought I would share some of the ways that I mixed and matched this Tuckernuck skirt while visiting Prague. And, if you like leopard also check out this piece, this piece and this piece). Let’s break it down below…

Since we are talking about packing, I’ll highlight a few of my traveling must-haves. These are the RTW, shoes, and accessories that I pack on every trip I take. They aren’t necessarily the most photographed pieces, but are the true workhorses in my suitcase(s). The items that I throw on to go grab coffee in the morning, for a late night ice cream stroll, or what I’ll wear to and from the airport.

A GREAT PAIR OF FLATS // Recently these and these are the flats that have been packed time and time again. These flats are a recent addition to my rotation, but the brand has been a forever favorite. The new shape and colors feel super fresh – check out that forest satin! I am only packing flats that I know will be comfortable and help avoid blisters from long hours of walking!

A CASHMERE SWEATER // I run cold so even in the dead of summer I am packing a cashmere sweater. The Marin sweater is my go-to!! I will also occasionally throw this in my carry on bag as a blanket/scarf option. I always find myself shivering on a airplane, cold car transfer ,or ice box feeling restaurant.

EASY DENIM // Easy denim that is truly throw on-the-go is a non negotiable. They need to be loose fitting, cropped, and have an easy waistline. These are by far my favorite (15% off with code BLAIR15). I first picked them up late in 2024 and have since gone back for more washes.

MY FAVORITE BUTTON DOWN // I am so sad that this style is sold out in so many sizes, as I receive so many DMs about it. The Veronica Beard button down that is fitted but extra long is a great, easy layering piece (as witnessed above). I hesitated putting it on the list as readers hate when I link to pieces that are practically sold out, but it felt like a big miss to not include it!

When I’m traveling, I want to look put-together, but feel like I’m wearing pajamas because there’s nothing worse than being stuck in an uncomfortable outfit for hours on end, dealing with cramped airplane seats, fluctuating cabin temperatures, and the general chaos of travel. After countless flights wearing everything from restrictive jeans to overly casual sweats (that don’t get me an upgrade to first class), I’ve decided to curate a list of comfy airplane outfits from Amazon with fabrics that travel great, won’t wrinkle easily, and can adapt to cabin temperature changes.

After researching Amazon’s best brands and testing several sets on my own adventures, I’m confident I’ve found picks that will transform your flying experience. From soft knit sweaters to breathable cotton blends, these outfits prove you can look presentable while feeling completely comfortable from takeoff to landing and beyond.

Comfortable Airplane Outfits

Wiholl Crewneck Sweatsuit Lounge Set

This upscale tracksuit can be worn together as a coordinated set or mixed with other items in your wardrobe. What I love most about this set is how the sculpted cut is super flattering and effortlessly put-together, making it ideal for transitioning from airport to destination. The front pockets are practical for storing travel essentials, and the sporty yet stylish design means I can wear it for morning walks, running errands, or even casual dinners. Plus, it’s machine washable, and the fabric doesn’t add bulk when layering, making it perfect for packing light.

Lillusory Knit 2-piece Set

I have this set in multiple colors and get asked about it constantly. While the fabric feels slightly heavier than synthetic blends, the dense cotton weave is specifically designed to keep you cool and fresh, making it perfect for summer destinations or stuffy airplane cabins. I like the tapered pants (which feel like sweatpants) because they look more refined than typical wide-leg styles. You can dress this Amazon set up with ankle boots or keep it casual with sneakers. While it does require hand washing or dry cleaning, I found that you can throw it in the wash on cold in the gentle cycle, and it still holds up beautifully.

PrettyGarden 2-piece Skirt Set

This chic striped pullover and midi skirt combination provides perfect coverage for chilly cabin temperatures. One Amazon reviewer called the fabric “soft and buttery,” which is ideal for those inevitable mid-flight naps. I like that it looks polished enough for business travel but offers just enough stretch and movement for comfortable sitting. The striped pattern is classic and cleverly disguises any wrinkles that might occur during your journey. This set can be worn together for a coordinated look or mixed with other items, giving you multiple outfit options from just one travel set.

Bb&kk Knit Sleeveless 2-piece Set

If you’re heading to a warm-weather destination, consider this sleeveless design (paired with a cardigan as needed). Unlike heavier fabrics that can leave you looking rumpled after hours of sitting, this set won’t wrinkle easily, making it ideal for those long-haul flights where you want to step off the plane looking refreshed. One Amazon shopper noted how “lightweight and cozy” the fabric is, and appreciated that washing the set didn’t affect sizing, which is a plus for frequent travelers who need pieces that maintain their shape after repeated washing and packing.

Codmc Knit Sweater Pullover Matching Set

I have this set in the khaki color and I love that it makes sme look instantly put-together without being overdressed. The soft knit makeup of this sweater combo feels gentle against the skin during long flights, while the pullover design eliminates any fussy details that might dig in or become uncomfortable when you’re seated for hours. The matching pieces take the guesswork out of coordinating your outfit, which is especially helpful when you’re packing light or dealing with early morning departures. Just pull on and go! I wear these pieces separately and together, which allows many different outfit combinations.

I’ve learned from years of experience that your choice of bag has the power to make or break an outing while traveling. Bringing along something too big, like a tote or carryall, can result in accidental overpacking or back aches. But you run the risk of not having enough space if you only pack smaller, trendier styles, like a micro bag, for a day on the go. Thankfully, there are some amazing shoulder bags on the market for fall—all designed to work hard in your travel wardrobe— so you no longer have to forgo function for fashion.

To determine which style is best suited for your time away, you must consider not only the destination you’re heading to, but also your itinerary once you arrive. Those that are exploring the great outdoors need something that can really do it all, which is where something like Bagsmart’s Reiki hobo bag comes in handy, thanks to its leakproof compartments and expandable design. Verified’s Eclair bag, on the other hand, is a perfect pairing for your next work trip, and all the various activities that might come along with it. Other standout styles include Telfar’s genius interpretation of a classic plastic shopping bag (you’ve got to see it), which has a surprisingly well-organized interior that makes it ideal for travel.

Whether you’re looking for something to carry while en route to your destination, or a style you can wear every day once you’re on the ground, there are plenty of stylish and practical options available right now. Read on for our top 10 picks for the best shoulder bags to travel with this season.

In a perfect world, you could pack multiple jackets—leather, quilted, raincoats, jean jackets—on every trip. After all, jackets are the easiest way to elevate casual outfits and tone down overdressed ones. But unless you’re traveling with multiple suitcases, packing more than one or two per trip really isn’t feasible. Because of this, the ones you do pack need to pull their weight.

This fall’s trends make finding the right packable jacket a bit easier. Popular outerwear is leaning toward both sophistication and performance wear—a tough combination to pin down, but one that bodes well for mixing and matching outfits. The shift toward basics can be seen in both high and low-brow spaces: At this year’s New York Fashion Week, Calvin Klein debuted a Fall/Winter collection that called back to the simplicity of the ’90s and early 2000s. Simplicity isn’t just trending in street style and high fashion; it’s a practical way to look great in the outdoors, as evidenced by brands like Aritzia and Lululemon making athleisure cooler.

Our inspiration also comes from fashion creators who are embracing practicality in their respective cities with ease: Emelie Lindmark is sporting lightweight trench coats in Barcelona, Moya Mawhinney highlights the rugged, lived-in ease of workwear in Paris, and Manu Rios shows off a timeless leather jacket in Madrid. Pulling from their looks and keeping practicality in mind, we’ve compiled a list of lightweight, packable jackets that make passing through airport security, enduring rainstorms, and trudging through wind look chic.

This Gap T-shirt, on sale for $14, is made with a lightweight, organic cotton jersey fabric that’s been pre-washed for a super soft, lived-in texture.

Madewell Women’s Whisper V-neck T-shirt

We love Madewell’s selection of high-quality wardrobe essentials, and this 100 percent cotton T-shirt is no exception.

Quince Women’s Cotton Modal Scoop Neck Tee

Soft? Check. Stretchy? Check. Wrinkle-resistant? Check. This 50/50 cotton-modal blend tee from Quince checks all of our boxes for reliable travel staples.

Uniqlo Women’s AIRism Cotton T-shirt

This Uniqlo tee looks like a plain cotton T-shirt, but it’s actually made with a quick-drying polyester-cotton blend fabric that’ll keep you cool and comfortable on sweltering days. The boxy, open short sleeves and side slits on the hem also help to promote air flow. All of these qualities, along with its versatility, make it the “best summer shirt,” according to one five-star reviewer. 

Trendy Queen Women’s Square-neck T-shirt

If you’ve been wanting to try the square-neck trend for yourself, check out this highly-rated Trendy Queen T-shirt from Amazon. Unlike many of the shirts featured on this list, this top isn’t made from cotton.

And despite being listed at just $10, plenty of shoppers share that the material is plenty thick and not see-through.
