Because no one likes to spend precious vacation time ironing, wrinkle-resistant clothing is a travel essential. These easy, low-maintenance pieces are especially ideal if you tend to overpack (and end up with creased clothes) or simply don't want to deal with a travel steamer on the road. Since wrinkle-free fabrics are less prone to creasing, they're also perfect for all-day wear, whether you're stuck in an airplane seat for hours or wandering around a new city from morning to night.
As a fashion writer who loves experimenting with style, I've consistently returned to Anthropologie's aesthetic time and time again. The brand's mix of eclectic details, boho silhouettes, and richly textured fabrics creates the kind of postcard-worthy wardrobe I've always dreamed of as a traveler. But those whimsical pieces often come with a splurgy price tag that would stretch my travel budget more than I'd like.
Spring cleaning came early this year thanks to Madewell's long weekend sale. I'm finally donating my old T-shirts and ratty sweatpants that I used to travel in, and I'm replacing them with Madewell's selection of soft sweaters and a pair of cute track pants. With up to 70 percent off its sale section, Madewell is offering steals on everything you need to revamp your travel wardrobe (just remember to use code NEWYEAR at checkout).
If you were in grade school at some point during the 2000s, then you likely remember the absolute chokehold Abercrombie & Fitch had on hallway fashion. I remember collecting their fur-lined parkas, lace-trimmed camis, lightweight Henley sweaters, and low-rise yoga pants like Pokémon cards-by the time I graduated high school, I must have amassed nearly 100 different Abercrombie sweatshirts, all varying only slightly in color and design.
Amazon reviewers have discovered the ultimate oversized sweater to wear on flights and around toasty fires on upcoming chilly weather trips. It's slouchy. It's as soft as butter. And it's on sale for $28 right now, so you might be enticed to add it to your fall travel wardrobe, too. The cozy Anrabess knit has 7,600-plus ratings and more than 5,000 five stars. The top is made to drape like your favorite three-sizes-too-big sweater picked from the men's section. It has a chunky neckline and hem, side slits, exaggerated drop shoulders, and roomy batwing sleeves.
You can still build a streamlined packing list even if you're not shy of color and texture-just ask California-based men's fashion buyer Emily Kitts. As Kitts explains, "My style definitely doesn't lean minimal and I don't subscribe to the idea of a capsule wardrobe. However, I love saving space in my suitcase for goodies and souvenirs so I try to be strategic with my packing but still show my personality through my clothes."
When my landlord informed me that she'd be doubling my rent, I didn't run to Streeteasy or other apartment rental apps like most New Yorkers would. With a job as a travel editor that has allowed (and encouraged) me to work remotely from all around the world and three months left on my eligibility to be in the European Union, I decided to put all my belongings in storage and set off for a three-month-long
Prep is back-just in time for fall flights and weekend leaf-peeping getaways. According to Pinterest's 2025 Fall Trends Report, searches for preppy staples are skyrocketing as folks embrace this polished aesthetic. From breezy button-downs and plaid skirts to cozier staples, like striped cardigans and chunky, cable-knit sweaters, dressing like you went to a New England prep school is in-even if you've never stepped foot in New England.
Every year when Labor Day rolls around and end-of-summer sales start, I make seasonal upgrades to my travel gear to prepare for fall trips. That means swapping my breezy linen for cozy layers, sandals for sneakers, and sundresses for sweaters. Mostly, I stick to classic travel clothing pieces instead of trendy ones so they can stay in my closet year after year.
The Hoka Clifton 9 GTX Sneakers are beloved for their arch support and comfortable cushioning, and thanks to the black design, they will look brand-new after countless adventures.
