Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A two-piece lounge set worth investing your hard earned dollars on — once you finally get settled on the plane for a long flight or in the car for a road trip you're going to want to live in the utmost comfort. This set will certainly check that box.
Promising review: "This is a cute and comfortable two-piece set. The fit was as expected, and these pieces could easily be worn for travel or just lounging around the house. They washed up nicely, but I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dryer due to possible shrinkage." —H. Brien
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors).
2. Iconic Lululemon Align yoga leggings made from fabric that is so ridiculously soft you likely won't want to wear regular pants ever again. These babies can be worn to work out in, sure, but there's absolutely no reason why you can't lounge around in them as well.
I wore these throughout my pregnancy — they were stretchy enough to fit through all nine months comfortably! BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde also finds these leggings to be comfy enough to consider them her go-to travel pants:
"If someone told me 'you could only wear one pair of pants on planes for the rest of your life,' I'd pick these leggings in a heartbeat. I have five pairs of them, and for every single flight I've been on for the past six years, I've worn these with a sweatshirt or oversized sweater, most recently on a eight-hour overnight flight to Naples, Italy. They feel like you're wearing nothing (in the best way possible) while also offering great compression that doesn't show any lumps or bumps. The high waistband also offers great comfort and very rarely ever rolls down, which means no awkward adjusting while you're packed into an economy seat. There's a reason people rave about them despite their high price point — they're just that good. Trust me — I've literally put the miles in."
Get it from Lululemon for $98+ (available in sizes 0–20, 3 lengths, and 18 colors).
3. Sweater pants, because why should your arms and torso have all the fun??? Let your legs join in on the coziness by enveloping them in these bad boys.
Promising review: "SO COMFY. These pants are literally so amazing and such an awesome material...It’s a nice comfy brunch outfit or lounge outfit...they’re my favorite pair to wear right now." –Kyrene Galanis
Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
4. A drawstring jumpsuit, perfect for anyone who wants to lounge *most* of their flight but also wants to look put-together the moment they step off the plane.
Promising review: "Originally, I wanted a comfy outfit for air travel and bought this before my last trip to Mexico. As soon as I put it on, I fell in love with it. I now live in it. It's comfortable and fits perfectly. I will be purchasing more!" —Meg Fanslow
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors and styles).
5. An oversized crewneck sweater you can comfortably wear with leggings during a road trip where you still want to feel just a little dressed in case you want to grab lunch when you arrive at your destination.
Promising review: "This is a great loose fitting sweater. So comfortable. Great to lounge around the house in sweats or throw on some leggings or jeans and run errands. I wear it a lot." —Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 32 styles).
6. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set reviewers have praised as being delightfully similar to Skims. (Apologies, Kim K!) A must-have if you want to test run the style before potentially treating yourself to the real thing — or just another set of these in another color!
Promising review: "This is by far the best money spent on clothing! I love this outfit, it's so comfortable! I will say the tag was a bit itchy on the top piece so I had to cut it off, but otherwise 20/10. This outfit is what I treat myself to on my self-care days and relaxing moments. Personally, I don't think I'd wear it out and about, but around the house it is just so perfect! And what I look like in my own house doesn't matter, but my comfort definitely does!" —Wendy
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $52.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 29 styles).

7. A padded tank so you can go about your travel day bra-free — which sounds like an absolute dream, TBH. It'll provide you with enough support and layer beautifully under your go-to oversized cardi.
Check out this activewear essential on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I’m so glad I committed! It’s extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don’t have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" —Kristyn Long
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
8. A Lizzie McGuire–inspired oversized tee that *really* might just be what dreams are made of! Its retro vibes are just what you need in your loungewear lineup. (Especially if you're headed to Disneyland!)
Official PJ Company is a small business based in California that sells fun apparel, mugs, keychains, and more.
Promising review: "I love how the shirt looks and it brings back so much nostalgia! Jordan was incredibly helpful with my questions and I will definitely purchase from her again. 100% recommend." —Grace

Promising review: "These pants are amazingggg. I was hesitant after trying a few similar styles that were super sheer but lemme tell you, you won’t regret this purchase! Super soft, wash really well (cold on delicate, I don’t put them in the dryer), and wear even better." —JWH
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).
10. A two-piece sweater-and-shorts knit set that'll likely become your road trip uniform — the top is stylish enough to keep you looking put together when you run into a coffee shop while the bottoms are just comfy-cozy.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these sets. This is my second time purchasing one, and I practically live in them at home. It fits true to size, and the waist is adjustable and stretches! I also wear the tops with high waisted jeans or joggers since it is cropped. Definitely can be worn and styled differently." —Mae
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 26 styles).
11. High-waisted leggings, because structured pants are *not* welcome to join in on your travel day. Sorry, not sorry.
Promising review: "If you’re on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair (plus size) to see how they’d fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH when I bend over!! I’ve *never* found leggings that weren’t sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors and they all are the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later I bought two more black pairs!! I recommend these leggings to everyone I hear talking about the difficulties of finding good leggings. I swear I wear these to work three times a week, at least. I love them!!" —hali howard
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and plus sizes, 3 lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).

If anyone in my life is reading this I *need* this sweatshirt in hot pink for my birthday. Thanks. Anyways, Oh Sarah Jean is a small business based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, that sells embroidered apparel.
Promising review: "This sweatshirt is great quality and so cute!! I’m so happy with it. I’m in between sizes usually medium-large and I decided to go with a large just in case it shrank and I wanted a baggier look. It’s perfect!" —Kelly Hendricks
Get it from Oh Sarah Jean on Etsy for $41+ (available in unisex sizes S–XL, 2X–4X, and two colors).
15. Richer Poorer recycled sweats, because everyone should have *at least* one pair of ridiculously comfortable sweatpants in their lineup.
You can make it a matching set with this recycled fleece sweatshirt.
Here's more from my colleague Emma Lord:
"Before these sweatpants, I had three rotating sweatpants that each had, like, One Good Thing about them, but weren't overall great. After I got these Richer Poorer sweatpants, I straight up got rid of all the others, because this pair has it all. I'm talking ridiculously soft fabric on the inside, and — be still my millennial heart — the aforementioned POCKETS. I tend not to go outside in sweatpants, but I do occasionally have to run down to the lobby of my building to pick up deliveries, and these make me feel very ~sweatpants chic~ (and the deep pockets are truly appreciated for holding things like my phone and keys and face masks). I can tell these are going to be a favorite of mine for a loooong, long time (unless I end up getting it in other colors, in which case it might tie for my favorite with those, lolol)."
Get it from Richer Poorer for $76 (available in sizes XS–L and five colors).
16. Colorful leggings with side pockets (!!!) you can keep your phone in — so when you're running to the airport trying to gather your snacks, a novel, and a water bottle you won't *also* have to stop and search for your phone.
Promising review: "These leggings are AMAZING! Not only are they soft, comfortable, and squatproof, but they look so good on! I have a hard time finding leggings that are big enough around the thighs/butt area but fitting enough around the waistline. I can’t believe the price and the fact that my new favorite leggings are from Amazon." —MLK
Get them from Amazon for $25+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors).
17. An oversized pullover V-neck sweater made of a cozy waffle knit material you won't be able to get enough of — it'll look just as cute with leggings and it will with your fave pair of broken in jeans.
Promising review: "This is my new favorite go-to top for ANY occasion. I bought it to wear with heels and distressed jeans out with my fiancé, however the day turned into us and our daughter heading to a Mexican restaurant so I simply changed from heels to my Birkenstocks and it was just as cute. I’m buying every color. LOVE THIS SHIRT!" –Katie
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in a variety of colors).
18. Cushioned crew socks to encourage you to kick back, put your feet up on the dashboard, and relax a bit after swapping seats with your partner to let them tackle the next few hours of driving.
Promising review: "I love socks and am also very picky about socks. These socks checked all my boxes! They're comfortable socks, they're thick but not too thick, and I wear them all the time. I will be coming back to order some more soon!!" —Abi Tamburro
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in sizes 6–12 and four styles).

20. An oversized waffle knit top — essential if you want to feel comfortable but aren't quite sure what direction your day is headed — whether you make perfect timing and get to your destination as scheduled or end up with a flight delay, you'll be super comfortable.
I have this shirt in gray and violet and it's fantastic! It's lightweight so you won't find yourself overheating if you're running around in it, but cozy enough that you'll also feel snug as a bug! I've been living in this shirt all winter but will totally wear it into spring as well. Definitely a piece worth adding into your loungewear wardrobe.
Promising review: "I love this shirt! It’s such a great layering piece and can be dressed up or down. It’s warm but not overly so, and it does run a little big, but it’s cute oversized. I plan to order other colors and maybe will size down for a bit of a different look." —Supe
Get it from Aerie for $50 (originally $50; available in sizes 2XS–2XL and 12 colors).
21. A quarter-zip pullover, so even when you're dressed for comfort you can still layer on your necklaces and show 'em off when taking selfies for your Insta story.
Promising review: "I am so in love with this pullover. I am usually a L, but I sized up to XL to get an oversized fit, and it is PERFECT! The material is so comfy, and it is long enough to wear with leggings since I sized up. The color is also accurate to what is advertised. I want to buy one in every color now!!" —Abbie Liee

Get it from Good Scout Supply on Etsy for $39.80 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and seven colors).
24. A sweatshirt and shorts set for antisocial moms who would love nothing more than to be gifted a few hours of peace during a road trip to close their eyes or watch something other than Songs for Littles (though we absolutely adore you Ms. Rachel).

26. An oversized knit cardigan in an array of gorgeous colors — ideal if you're someone who *waffles* between being too hot and too cold and loves nothing more than a go-to layering option.
Promising review: "I have these cardigans in three different colors, need I say more? They are thick and heavy, which I like because I bought them for winter, but since it’s cotton, I feel like they will be comfortable in spring and fall too. They keep their shape and quality after washing. For sizing comparison, I have them in S, and I usually wear US S in tops." —Anonimous
Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 27 colors).
27. A two-piece set, so you can look put together for your super early morning flight without actually having to think about whether what you're throwing on matches. You're welcome.
Promising review: "For those of you who like to go to Walmart in your PJs and flannel pants, order this set! You will still be comfy but look great. These sets are lightweight but not see-through.

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 the plane. 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! Like other reviews have said, it is big, so size down if you want something a little more snug. It’s a little big, but I love my stuff oversized, so I am fine. I have been wearing it every day at home and can’t wait to get the black and blush one!" —Heather G.
Get it from Pond Los Angeles for $102.40 (originally $120; available in sizes XS–XL and three colors, including black and cream).

My husband loves his Carhartt beanie so much we got a matching one for our baby! So cute — and so warm.
Promising review: "WOW! I did NOT expect to like this item so much!! I have never been someone who could ever pull off a beanie, or so I thought ... until I found this hat! I hated all beanies of this style because of that 'alien head' look they give you, but this one DOESN'T! (since you can fold the hat to your desired thickness). I am buying one in every color!! If you're hesitant like I was — DON'T BE! This hat is so comfy this time of year!!" —Kelly Toledo

I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've purchased so many as gifts as well!

Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!" —Caroline Morris
