    16 Travel-Ready Pieces That'll Match Just About Everything

    And they won't wrinkle, either, so they're a win-win.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 

    1. A plain white Madewell tee you can wear again and again and again because there's really no wrong way to pair it. Like seriously, I'd like to see an outfit it doesn't make sense with.

    Promising review: "The perfect white T-shirt. Comfortable. Good quality. Not too expensive. I’ve worn it time and time again. Relaxed fit." —Bartow

    Get it from Amazon for $18.50 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 15 colors). 

    2. A padded tank that 1) looks incredibly cute and 2) eliminates the need for a bra. If the pandemic has taught me anything about myself, it's that #2 is my new way of life.

    Promising review: "I was so skeptical of buying these, as I’m not a crop top kind of gal and don’t trust built in bras! These shirts are magic. I bought two colors. I wore one to a theme park and it held me in and kept me comfy ALL DAY. I can’t recommend these enough for traveling, lounging, and everyday wear." —Nikki

    Get it from Amazon for $18.39 (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).

    3. Some budget-friendly high-waisted leggings if you've sworn off jeans and any other bottoms without at least 5% spandex.

    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 $11.99+ (available in standard and plus sizes, three lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).

    4. An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with over 33,900 5-star ratings and rave reviews from flight attendants!

    Promising reviews: "This is perfect for travel. I've worn it as PJs, on a plane with a blazer, and for a nine-hour car trip. Super comfortable and goes anywhere. I'll definitely be getting more!" —My Cat Steve Judges My Purchases.

    "I bought the navy blue to take on vacation after reading an article about how easy care these jumpsuits are. I loved it so much I bought the green. I take them out of my suitcase, hang them up, and they are ready to go in a few hours, no ironing needed. I get compliments every time I wear one of them." —AKSunshine

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 35 colors/patterns). 

    5. Or a pair of pull-on skinny jeans if you're someone who doesn't like leaving the house in something that could be considered loungewear but you do want to *feel* like you're wearing loungewear nonetheless.

    Promising review: "OK, I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical about these pants. I hate buying clothes online without trying them on first, but the reviews here said that they run true to size, so I trusted them. I am SO GLAD that I did. These pants are everything I ever wanted. Make my butt look cute? Check. No nasty zipper to dig into my gut? Check. Perfect length for any season? Check. I can wear these with a cute blouse as a teacher, and still look professional, while still being comfortable. I feel comfortable wearing these basically any time, and I think that if you're lacking a pair of them and thinking about it, you should go get a pair. They're AMAZING." —AlySedai

    Get them from Amazon for $24.64+ (available in sizes 2–28, in three lengths, and 18 washes). 

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give these a spin before you buy them!

    6. Croc platforms that *may* just be cute enough to convert the Never Croc-er™ amongst us. They're ultra-comfortable, waterproof, and can take a serious beating, too, if you need to shove them in the exterior water bottle pouch of your backpack because you bought more souvenirs than anticipated.

    I have these in all black (as pictured above) and I am OBSESSED with them. They are my go-to travel/all-day walking shoe. They have gone around the world with me and walked 20,000-step days in NYC without so much as a hint of a hint of a blister. They're super easy to get on and off, v cushy, and are impossible to stain. I had my last pair for two years and they didn't even scuff at all — I had just completely worn off the soles so it was time to replace them. 

    Promising review: "These sandals are a game-changer. One of my friends got a pair and I thought they were the cutest shoes ever, I did a double-take when she told me they were Crocs. Really? That ugly clog-making company? Well, call me a Crocs convert because I want a pair in every color. I’ll die in these shoes because I’m never going to take them off. It feels like you’re walking on clouds, they’re so comfortable and supportive. The gradual platform looks edgy but is super easy to walk in, it does not feel like heels or wedges — I can still run after my toddler all day. These elevated sandals have changed me life. They go with everything — jeans, shorts, dresses. Buy the shoes, guys." —oh no

    Get them from Amazon for $51.10 (available in sizes 4–11 and in 18 colors/patterns; check out additional colors here).

    7. A Pashmina scarf ready to be fashioned into a blanket or pillow when flying; a wrap when you're cold or need something modest for visiting cultural sites like temples; or even a shield from the sun as it offers UPF 50+ protection!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this wrap!! It is the perfect weight and size for travel. It didn't leave my side on an 11 day backpack trip through Europe and was used as a scarf, blanket, towel, and wrap all throughout the trip. Fashionable enough to dress up a basic travel day outfit, warm enough to keep away a chill on a cooler night, and light enough to pack away small into a bag or tie around a purse strap. I can't say enough great things! I am buying these as gifts for everyone I know who travels." —Jenn

    Get it from Amazon for $46+ (available in eight colors).

    8. A pair of cropped, feather-light pants that do 👏 not 👏  wrinkle 👏, offer UPF 50+ protection, and dry in a flash in case you need to wash 'em in the sink before the next leg of your trip.

    Athleta

    I have these in black and they are my go-to pants for travel days — especially ones that involve flying. The wide-leg design/silky fabric is ultra-comfortable, the pockets are large enough for smartphones, boarding passes, and passports, and the elastic waist/drawstring sitch guarantees there's no pinching or bagging even if you're sitting and/or standing for an incomprehensible amount of time. The sides also have some subtle darting that take them up a notch in the ~fashun~ department. 

    Promising review: "I can't think of anything I don't like about this pant. The material is wonderful and easy to care for. I like the crop as you can so easily dress them up or down. I have found traveling with two pairs of these, four or five tees, a wrap, a pair of sandals and flats, and wearing sneakers I can be gone for a week in a carry-on only. Couldn't live without them." —LaVon V

    Get them from Athleta for $89+ (available in sizes 0–26 petite, regular, and tall and in two colors).

    9. A trusty pair of Reebok Club C Sneakers that 1) are hella comfy and 2) match just about everything so you have no excuse to pack multiple sets of shoes when one can do the job.

    I have three pairs of these babies because they're just so comfortable straight out of the box. You don't have to worry about blisters and they don't look out of place with dresses and skirts. They're also simple enough to slip on and off when going through the airport so they check all of my travel boxes!

    Promising review: "Love these shoes! I saw them in store at UO but they didn't have my size. Obviously I turned to Amazon because what doesn’t this site sell, and lo-and-behold, y’all had it. I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they’re so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car and these were only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn’t cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend! But one thing hurts my heart...the creasing at the front of the shoe that comes with loving these shoes so much.😢" —Alli J

    Get them from Amazon for $59.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and in various colors/patterns).

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give these a spin before you buy them!

    10. A Levi's denim jacket. Full stop.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket!!! It goes with just about everything, and is comfortable. I went up a size after reading some of the reviews, and that worked out well for me. The length of the jacket is also a nice feature, it hits right about the hip, and is not a midriff. I'm really glad I ordered this jacket, it's so cute, and I know it will last a lifetime, Levi's makes the best denim wear as far as I'm concerned." —Jo Packer

    Get it from Amazon for $62.65+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 1X–4X and in 13 washes).

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give this a spin before you buy it!

    11. stretchy tank top jumpsuit so comfortable and stylish, you can wear it on your flight and then roll right out of the airport and through the rest of your day without a wardrobe change.

    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 14 colors, prints, and styles).

    12. Hackwith Design House shirt that can be worn ~six~ different ways so you don't have to lug around a large checked bag or wear the same exact outfit every day.

    Hackwith Design House

    Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business. Their sustainable designs are made to order and sewn in their Minnesota studio. Their sizes run from XS–4X. On Mondays, they also release limited-edition designs so you can be one of only 25 people to own a piece! 

    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). 

    13. A pair of bike shorts you can wear on hikes — you know, those that go up literal mountains — or under dresses and skirts as an anti-chafing measure when your exercise du jour is waiting in a TSA line that snakes through the entire airport.

    Promising reviews: "Amazing! I wore mine while traveling and the pockets are just so convenient! Amazing fit and comfortable." —April Smith

    "These are SO good. I waited to leave a review because I wanted to wear and wash them for awhile, but after wearing these all summer for workouts, walks, hikes, and general out and about stuff — and after all the washing and drying associated with this much wear — there is NO pilling or wear on the crotch and inside thigh. These still wear and look like new. I am going to order longer pants from this company for the fall and winter." —dawbygirl

    Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors).

    14. An airy linen dress so simple, you can layer it with quite literally anything else you've packed.

    Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE. I probably wear this dress too much because it's so comfy! Easy to wear and so cute!" —Lauren

    Get it from Whimsy + Row for $168 (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors/prints).

    15. A simple flat that's easy to slip on and off at the airport and takes up next to no room in your bag so you can go ahead and pack that sweater that you def won't need on your Caribbean trip but... like... what if you do and then you regret not bringing it??

    Those 40,000+ 5-star ratings don't lie!

    Promising review: "I bought these for traveling as I wanted something comfortable and easy on/off for the airport. They totally exceeded my expectations! These flats are very comfortable. Fit is great. I have a wide foot and the wide width in my size was perfect. The snakeskin print looks very nice in person." —Allyson Cohan

    Get it from Amazon for $24.60 (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 33 styles). 

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give these a spin before you buy them!

    16. And a simple V-neck blouse with a rounded hemline and chic, crinkled fabric reviewers say does not wrinkle because if all my fave travel tops have one thing in common, it's definitely that.
