Travel Clothing
Here’s the deal: some clothes work better than others for traveling. But just because you’re packing a suitcase, doesn’t mean you should leave your style at home.
I love finding versatile, packable clothing pieces that are chic and stylish, and putting together travel capsule wardrobes to make packing light super simple. With the right pieces, you can combine them in creative ways that allow for efficient packing.
My tried-and-true clothing stapes are listed here. Click for even more posts about travel fashion!
Recommended Travel Clothes
- Leggings: Yes, you could buy cheaper leggings. But I’ve had these for nearly a decade and they still look brand new. I promise they’re worth it.
- Jeans: Jeans with stretch are a must when it comes to travel. I can’t get enough of these Madewell jeans!
- Leather jacket: If you only buy one jacket, buy a black leather jacket. I wear mine more than anything else in my closet, and it comes with me on every trip.
- Sneakers: I love Veja sneakers because they’re chic, go with everything, and are also sustainably made.
- Cardigan: There’s no better cardigan than the Chrysalis Cardigan from Encircled. You can wear it 8 different ways, including as a dress!
- Dress: Lately I’ve been loving tank dresses for travel because I can dress them up or down, and they don’t wrinkle when I pack them.

In Flight essentials
Packing the right in-flight essentials for a long haul flight can mean the difference between being miserable and actually enjoying the ride, and it’s also important to know what to pack in your carry on vs checked bag.
When you’re flying long haul, a well-packed carry on bag will keep you comfortable, cozy, and entertained.
Here’s what to bring (and what to leave at home!):
Shop Carry On Essentials
- iPad: I use my iPad to download movies, books and magazines that keep me entertained during long flights.
- AirPods: Headphones on any flight are a must, and I absolutely LOVE my AirPods Pro. The noise cancellation feature is a total lifesaver.
- Foot hammock: Nothing makes coach feel like first class more than this foot rest!
- Cozy scarf: Made from the coziest of fabrics, this scarf adds the perfect finishing touch to any travel outfit and keeps me warm on the plane.
- Trtl neck pillow: The Turtl neck pillow is a cult favorite in the world of travel bloggers, and there’s a reason why!
- Eye mask: Essential for trying to get some rest during your flight. This one is form-fitting to your face so it blocks out the most light.
