"I just wanted to tell you that I have used my carry on cozies in one form or the other every day of the last week in Greece. Several people stopped me to compliment it. It’s a perfect travel companion to Greece, especially when I get to Santorini! Thanks to Diane for her gorgeous and super useful designs!"

What to wear in Canada: Packing List for Canada
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you click one of them, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We know how hard it is to keep track of all the things on your mind while traveling, so we made a quick list of items that will help make your trip easier and more enjoyable. Whether you are going in the summer or winter, spring or fall – our Canada packing list has got you covered!
- Tops (shirts, blouses, etc)
- Dresses and skirts
- Bottoms (pants, shorts, etc)
- Lightweight waterproof jacket
- Light cardigan
- Walking and/or hiking shoes
- Moisture-wicking socks
- Thermal wear or Long johns (winter)
- Waterproof warm parka (winter)
- Scarves (winter)
- Gloves
- Warm toque (winter)

All of the items are available on Amazon Prime so they can be at your door in two days or less!
Canada is very welcoming, and there are no specific dress codes for any place. The dressing is very casual, and you will find people wearing athleisure clothing when they are out and about. If you know me in person, you will see me wearing Lululemon leggings and my denim jacket (sometimes with a scarf!).
Hoodies and jeans are very common, so are shorts and comfy hiking sandals in the summer months.
At a workplace, or formal event you can opt for semi-casual, or business casuals to fit the mood and location. This can be a nice black dress with heels, minimal makeup, and jewelry.
When our parents visit from India, they are equally comfortable wearing traditional Indian Wear without raising any eyebrows. So the main thing to keep in mind when packing for Canada is to be mindful of the weather and temperatures and dress appropriately.
Certain places in Canada are super cold with dry winds and some are rainy/gloomy – your outfits will be different for each destination. In the same way, if you are heading for a hike, or planning to snowshoe your packing list will vary.
In this Canada packing list, we will cover all the seasons and also include important tips!
Seasons in Canada:
- Spring : March 1 to May 31
- Summer: June 1 to August 31
- Fall or Autumn: September 1 to November 30
- Winter: December 1 to February 28
Packing list for Canada in the summer
Summer months are from June to August in Canada. During this time, the temperatures are warm, days are longer and you will find plenty of picnic spots and festivals to enjoy the lovely weather and the outdoors.
Here is what you need to pack for Canada in summers,
Tops (blouses, shirts)
You will need to pack a couple of light tops or flowy blouses for summer in Canadian cities. They are perfect for sightseeing, tours and they also help you look great in Instagrammable shots!
If you are planning to hit the trails opt for moisture-wicking tops – we recommend bringing in one half and one long sleeve t-shirt. In certain parks, mosquitoes are common (like Saskatchewan) and long sleeves will protect you from bites and UV rays!
Bottoms (trousers, pants, shorts, leggings)
Pair your pretty blouses with fitted jeans, and a nice belt! Jeans, cotton pants or trousers are great for summer sightseeing.
You will also find locals wearing capris, and cotton shorts, enjoying the warm summer days.
For hikes and outdoor activities, you can wear shorts and leggings. I LOVE my Lululemon leggings!
Dresses, skirts, jumpsuits
I am not a ‘shorts’ person, so when I am out and about dresses and skirts are my go-to. You can bring your prettiest lightweight dresses, and pair them with comfortable sandals to enjoy walking around in downtown areas, go museum hopping or explore outdoor museums!
Short dresses made of moisture-wicking material are great for short hikes and strolls in cities, parks, and road trips!
Whether you are enjoying a hike in Banff National Park or wandering Gastown in Vancouver , a lightweight waterproof jacket is handy all year round. I like this Marmot minimalist jacket in black for travel and everyday use!
You can also bring in a windbreaker (that is made of waterproof material) and use it to layer on over your tops/shirts when needed.
Light cardigan or hoodie
Unless your jacket has light insulation, we recommend bringing in a cardigan, just in case.
When our friends and family visit us from Asia and Europe, they are usually cold in the evening (in Canadian summers). This might be due to winds, a drop in temperature at night, or in destinations up north and high altitudes!
So, do carry a light cardigan, or a hoodie. A hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood . They are warm with a thin fleece lining (just like a sweatshirt and most hoodies will also have deep pockets).
When we are heading to national parks or road tripping in Canada , we always pack a hoodie with us! Here is my favorite scuba hoodie from Lululemon
For all practical purposes, a pair of comfortable hiking shoes is all you need to enjoy Canadian cities and parks alike.
If wearing a dress, white shoes look the best. And they also go well with hiking clothes. Brands like Nike , KEEN , Merell and Reebok are our favorites for casual and hiking shoes.
When at the beach, flip-flops are great. If you wish to add a second pair of shoes to your Canada packing list, you can opt for a hiking sandal or flats (like these ones from TEVA) for summers – they are great for city-hopping, road trips, etc.
Pack a few moisture-wicking socks for your hiking shoes. These socks will help prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi when you are out and about touring a city, or on day-long hikes.
You can buy socks like this one , and they also reduce the risk of blisters and sores. These are a must-have for those planning to hit the trails in Canada on a regular basis.
Whether you are chilling at a resort or an Airbnb , pack a couple of loungewear for the duration of your trip!
Additional items : Pack a cute swimsuit if you are booking a hotel with a swimming pool or planning to relax in a hot spring or thermal spa!
What to wear in Canada in winter: Canada winter packing list
Winters in Canada are anything, but boring. And we love everything about it – the snow, warm cocoa, bright scarves, and festive decor!
Just imagine – the view of snowy landscapes from hotel (or apartment) windows, or on road trips awaiting you!
Canada is home to world-class skiing resorts, with miles of snowshoeing trails and frozen landscapes for you to marvel and enjoy!
Watch out for destinations like Whistler, Banff, Lake Louise Ski Resort , or Revelstoke on the west coast to Mont Tremblant Ski Resort in the east.
Not into winter sports? You can still have a great time checking out Christmas festivities in places like Quebec City, Vancouver , Toronto and Charlottetown!
Canada in winter is BLISS! And you can enjoy Canadian winters too, just ensure you pack the right clothes.
Thermal wear or long johns – Baselayer
I often get asked how I am posing for Instagram photos in the winter, smiling without a care in the world. Well, I am wearing SUPER warm thermal wear underneath!
Layering is important for winters, and your long johns/thermal wear is your base layer. So I wear a thermal top , and a thermal bottom underneath my jeans, or double up with leggings.
When participating in outdoorsy activities like skiing, you do need to layer on with ski pants.
Hoodie, sweater or a fleece jacket – Midlayer
After your base layer, you must wear a mid-layer, like a hoodie , sweater, or fleece jacket.
Waterproof warm parka or winter coat – Outer layer
Wear outerwear like a warm parka or a wool coat with waterproof coating. Ensure it is waterproof, this is 100% important!
Wool coats are a good option for indoor sightseeing, or on early winter days, but in the thick of the cold-weather season, you do need a power parka.
Parkas are equipped with a waterproof material, have deep pockets (interiors and outside), and a hood.
Hoods also come with fur trim, and this saves your pretty face from snowy elements. Cuffs also keep you warm, by not letting the cold air sweep in.
Here are my favorite outerwear winter clothes from The North Face and Lululemon .
Snow pants
For the most part in cities, you can get by with a pair of jeans and fleece lined leggings, but to enjoy winters outdoors, you may want to add a snow pant to your Canada winter packing list.
Snow pants provide you with the most warmth, and they are more durable, and breathable when you are active. You can layer snow pants with leggings underneath them. Get this snow pant from The North Face here
A nice warm scarf can instantly brighten your outfits, and also keep you nice and toasty.
Choose infinity scarves that are super warm covering your ears and neck. Rectangle scarves are also great to pull an outfit together, especially if you are wearing an all-black parka with boots.
You do need a pair of warm gloves to protect your fingers against the harsh winter elements. It might be an easy Canada packing list item, but it is often missed (and many times lost), especially if you are not used to the cold weather.
So yeah, you need warm gloves, preferably something with tech fingers so that you can use your smartphone or tablet with ease!
We recommend packing 2 pairs, and when you are out and about ensure you keep them inside your jacket pocket or purse so that you won’t lose them 🙂
Check out this pair from UGG here
A toque, a beanie, a warm cap/hat, are all the same item, eh! I LOVE a nice warm beanie – just like a scarf, they can instantly make your outfit all adorable and snow-worthy!
Pack 3-4 beanies in different colors, with and without pom-pom, and wear them to spice up your winter clothing.
I own a few toques from Amazon, and so LOVE them! Check them out here
Warm socks
In the winters, pack a mix of moisture-wicking and merino wool-based socks . You do need thick socks to wear underneath your winter boots to keep you warm especially when you are outdoors for prolonged hours!
Winter or snow boots
Over the years, we have tried a lot of winter boot brands, from one available in Walmart to SportCheck (similar to REI in the USA) and reputable brands, and let me tell you get what you pay for.
Do invest in a good pair of sturdy winter boots. Here is what you need to look for
- ankle-length is better to layer on
- choose a pair with insulation like fleece (look for signs that say “up to -30 degrees”, etc. citing the cold threshold)
- pay attention to the outsole, ensure it gives you a good grip to walk on icy surfaces (parking lots, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, etc.)
- carry your warmest socks to the store when you are trying out boots!
- Our favorite picks : The North Face , Sorel , UGG , Timbaland (my new favorite)
Canada Packing list for spring and fall
Spring months in Canada are from March through May. In March, we do spring forward (we lose an hour due to daylight savings) and days are slowly warmer, and everywhere there is slush – with the snow melting!
For most places, March is still fairly cold , and if you are new to the country you might feel the need to layer on, and that’s okay. So bring your winter goodies like a warm sweater, socks, beanie/toque, scarf, and of course a jacket.
April and May are warmer, and now you can surely leave your winter parka, gloves, and beanies at home. Packing a sweater and a scarf is still a good idea!
September to November are the fall or autumn months in Canada, oh and it’s our absolute favorite! From the smell of apple cinnamon to pumpkin spice lattes – fall in Canada is delightful!
September for the most part remains warm, with temperature drops in the evenings and early mornings. A waterproof jacket or a cardigan is handy during this time. Throw in a scarf too!
October and November weather is pretty crisp and chilly. Prepare for shorter days, and cooler temperatures – and do bring in your winter wear (jacket, thermals, scarves, beanie, sweater, socks, and boots).
In the early fall months, you can wear stylish ankle-length booties. Late October to November calls for warmer winter boots as many cities and parks will experience colder temperatures with snowfall. So prepare like you would for a winter trip!
- Bottoms (leggings)
- Light cardigan or fleece jacket
- Thermal wear or Long johns (early spring and late fall): Bottom and top
- Warm parka (early spring and late fall)
- Scarves (early spring and late fall)
- Gloves (late fall)
- Warm toque (early spring and late fall)
- Warm socks
- Winter boots (late fall)
- Cute ankle-length booties (fall)
- Toiletries (sunscreen, cold cream or moisturizer, etc.)
Miscellaneous items to pack for Canada
Other than the clothing items, you will also need some additional things as you travel from the east coast to the west coast of Canada.
For hiking and camping,
- Water bottle : Bring a water bottle for use on hikes, and day-long sightseeing excursions or road trips!
- First aid : Another important travel essential when you go camping, hiking, fishing, or just out and about
- Also, add bug spray, bear spray, mosquito repellent
For skiing,
- Ski socks : Pack smart wool based ski socks
- Face mask, or balaclava , and goggles for protection
*We recommend that you rent ski gear when visiting in the winters.
Packing cubes: We absolutely love using packing cubes to organize and store our clothes, cosmetics, and other travel essentials. Traveling light also allows you to start exploring as soon as you land in a new city/destination. Doesn’t matter if you use a suitcase or a backpack like us, packing cubes are a must!
Electronics to pack for Canada
We have compiled all the electronic items for your Canada packing list below,
- Adapter: Canada uses two associated plug types – A and B. Plug type A has two flat parallel pins and B has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin. It also operates on a 120V supply voltage and 60Hz. So when traveling from the UK, EU or India, you will need to use a convertor and adapter duo to charge electronics in Canada.
- Multi-port charging cable: This is our favorite travel accessory – a multi port charging cable to charge our iphones, Kindle and camera! One cable is enough for all of our electronics, plus it isn’t expensive. Check out this cable here
- Power bank: Get a solar powered bank to charge your phone and camera on the go (hikes, sightseeing tours, etc). Buy yours here
- Noise cancelling headphones: Our favorite ones from Bose
- Camera gear: We carry our Sony a6000 and Sony a7III on all of our trips! Don’t forget to pack yours!
What to pack for Canada: Toiletries
When it comes to toiletries, these are our absolute must-haves for travel
- Moisturiser
- Body lotion
- Deodorant and/or perfume
- Facial wash
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Lady products
- Medications with a first aid kit
What to pack for Canada: Travel Documents
We have compiled all the essential items for travel in this section below. If you are visiting Canada for the first time, you will find this information useful.
Tourist visa: Most countries like the USA, EU members, Australia and New Zealand do not require a tourist visa to enter Canada. You need to apply for an Electronic travel authorization (ETA) prior to arriving here. ETA is not a visa and takes less than a day to process online.
An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada by air. – Canada.ca
For non-visa-exempt passport holders, a Canada Tourist Visa is required. You will have to apply for it prior to your trip and from your home country.
Depending on your departure country, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a month and it requires you to submit your rough Canada itinerary, financials, your hotel/accommodation for the duration of your trip, and local contact information.
Typically visas are given for 10 years (or until your passport expires. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months when you apply). You can stay in Canada for a maximum of 6 months at a stretch on a tourist visa unless there are any restrictions as outlined for your situation.
Travel Insurance: For your visa approval, and otherwise, travel insurance is important. This document will protect against medical emergency-related expenses, or in the event of baggage loss or flight delays.
Cash and credit card: Canada uses Canadian dollars. Cash and credit cards are widely accepted everywhere. Some restaurants and stores may accept USD in certain cities.
Other documents : Do save a copy of all of your hotel bookings, tours, and other related activities. Don’t forget your driver’s license too!
Packing for a trip can be stressful, especially when you’re going somewhere new. You want to make sure that you have everything you need and don’t forget anything important. That’s why we created this packing list for Canada!
Our goal is to help take some of the stress out of planning your next vacation by providing helpful tips on what clothes and accessories are best suited for each season in Canada.
If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

The Best Travel Clothes for Curvy Women
Ok ladies, let’s talk travel wear. The strappy dresses, string bikinis, and pretty convertible tops that seem to be featured on every packing list, round-up, and Instagram feed. Yes, they are adorable. And I’m sure they look amazing on many women. However, as a curvy girl who is often caught between regular and plus sizes, I regularly find that these ‘perfect travel clothes’ really aren’t the best travel clothes for curvy women.
More often or not, when I look at these ‘must have’ lists I end up mentally knocking off half the items because they won’t look good on my figure. Only to find out that those that I think might actually work on my body come in limited sizes. It’s a pain in the butt. Just because I’m curvy doesn’t mean I don’t want pretty clothes. I deserve to feel good in a swimsuit. I want to look cute in my photos. And I know I’m not the only one feeling left out when it comes to travel fashion, but the fact is that plus size travel clothing is hard to find.
Thankfully there are some brilliant brands that recognize that women of all shapes and sizes like to travel and look good while doing it. So from one curvy traveller to another, here are my recommendations for the best travel clothes for curvy women.
Best Convertible Travel Wear for Curvy Women
Convertible clothing and capsule wardrobes are perfect for travel, especially since airlines are getting so strict with luggage. And while many brands offer these types of designs, most of them target those with slimmer figures who are willing to show more skin. Personally, that’s not my style, which is why I love the chic and elegant designs from Diane Kroe.
Diane Kroe offers a range of items from shirts to dresses to pants, all of which can be worn multiple ways. My first two Diane Kroe pieces were the Origami Top (above) and the Carry On Cozy , both of which I love. Both pieces transformed into multiple looks as tops and dresses. They washed and wore well, and were very obviously a quality make. Plus, I loved how they looked and felt on. The Origami top is perfect for dressier events and I love the Carry On Cozy for the plane and for having on hand to cover up my shoulders in more conservative places like temples.
I have since added a few more Diane Kroe pieces to my wardrobe including the butterfly wrap and Mariposa kaftan which are lightweight coverups perfect for the beach or to cover up a little more at more conservative sites. I took my butterfly wrap with me to Egypt and used my Mariposa over my swimsuits in French Polynesia.
Diane Kroe is a Canadian brand based in Toronto. All clothing is created in-house by staff, and custom orders are accepted. Pieces can be ordered online at: https://dianekroe.com and regular sizes run from 2-20 (US sizing) but custom orders are welcome, making it one of the best plus size travel clothing choices. Worldwide shipping is available. Use code HANNAH10 to save 10% off your purchase!
Best Casual Travel Essentials for Curvy Women
If you have been following me for a while and paid attention to my photos you might have noticed that, for the past few years, I have worn the same black t-shirt on every single trip I take. It’s the encircled Evolve Top and it’s easily my favourite t-shirt. The sleeves are adjustable to give it different looks, it’s a bit dressier than a normal t-shirt, and it washes and wears SO well.
I have also recently fallen in love with their Dressy Sweatpant pants which are cuter than leggings but as comfortable as PJs and can be dressed up for down. I have also declared them the ultimate airplane pants because they are super comfortable, cute, and, while not thick, provide a bit of warmth. And yes, they have pockets! They also come with me on every trip.
Encircled clothing is ethically made in Toronto, Canada. Women’s clothing ranges in size from xs-xxl and can be ordered online at: www.encircled.ca
Best Dresses for Curvy Bodies
While I used to be a tomboy as a child, I am now 100% a dress girl. Part of it is because I think they are so pretty, part of it is because it is so easy, and part of it is because I found a brand that has a huge collection of styles and colours that fit my body really well. The brand is City Chic and I have a closet full of their dresses right now.
City Chic has stores in the USA and Australia but does offer shipping abroad. As a Canadian, I can sometimes find their products at The Bay, but the best selection by far is online on the official City Chic website. They have dresses for every occasion and in a variety of styles so whether you want something loose and flowy or tight to hug your curves, you’ll find options here. City Chic is made for mid and plus size women so their sizing goes from size 12 (XXS) t0 24 (XXL).
Another cute place for size inclusive dresses (xs-4x) is Cherry Velvet . This brand is Canadian and create vintage, pin-up style pieces that are super cute and can be fun to travel with as well (although you might need to iron them before wearing!).
Best Jeans for Curvy Women
I hate buying jeans. I have thick thighs and a big butt and a smaller waist and nothing ever seems to fit properly. However, on suggestion from some friends I finally tried American Eagle curvy jeans and immediately bought three pairs. These are the only jeans I have found (so far) that actually work for my body. They have all kinds of styles but, being a millennial (who also lives in Canada where you want to be able to tuck your pants into winter boots) I’m partial to the skinny jean. The Ne(x)t level ones are super stretchy and comfortable. Recently I’m also loving the wide leg dreamy drop styles which are super soft and actually comfortable. American Eagle offers sizes up to 24 and a variety of inseam lengths.
Best Leggings for Curvy Women
Like jeans, I struggled to find leggings that fit me well. Again, the whole smaller waist and bigger bottom led to lots of fit problems. Usually, waist bands sliding down which meant every time I hiked/walked/worked out I would have to stop to pull up my pants. I tried all kinds of brands and styles before landing on one very specific pair from lululemon: The Wunder Train tights. They don’t fall down and they aren’t see through and I cannot recommend them enough. Lululemon currently carries up to a size 20 but keep in mind the fit on their leggings is very different than jean size. I wear 18 jeans and 12 in these lululemon leggings, so keep that in mind when figuring out sizing!
Best Travel Swimsuits for Curvy Women
Swimsuits and wetsuits have been one of my biggest pet peeves as a water love and scuba diver. Especially when, on top of travel, I live on a lake at home in Canada during the summer months. I’ve tried tons of swimsuit brands over the years and have several favourites. In fact I created a whole blog post about my favourite swim-wear brands. You can find it here.
Best Travel Outwear for Plus Size Women
Outerwear can be another pain in the butt to buy, but being Canadian I have to have several different coats for the different seasons. I’ve bought coats from plenty of brands throughout the years, but when it comes to keeping warm or dry, my favourite brand is Columbia.
I currently have two Columbia jackets; a warm winter one perfect for those -40C days (yes, I said -40C. Welcome to Canada) and a lightweight waterproof rain coat. The raincoat is perfect for travel because it folds up into its own pocket, is lightweight, breathable, and most importantly: it is waterproof.
Columbia products can easily be found in sporting stores as well as online on amazon. The raincoat I’m wearing above can be found here.
Best Anti-Theft Pieces for Curvy Women
As a solo female traveller, I think that Clever Travel Companion is one of the coolest clothing lines out there. Their products; which range from underwear to pants to tank tops to hoodies, are all pickpocket proof. Secret pockets that are perfect for cash, passport, and banking cards keep your important items safe and concealed.
While the colours and designs may be plain and simple, the designs are flattering. I tried out their travel tank with 2 secret pockets a couple years ago and it’s now a staple in my luggage. Check out my review for it here .
Clever Travel Companion clothing can be ordered online at: clevertravelcompanion.com . They will ship around the world, and sizes run from XS-XXXL.

Great post. I found many of the sites suggested very intriguing. I will definitely be adding to my travel wardrobe. With the checked bag fees and carry-on space crush I need to minimize my travel gear.
These brands are all lightweight and pack easy as well! I love them all and take them with me everywhere.
I’m traveling to Ireland and was excited for your post but most things listed are no longer available. Super bummed.
Not sure what you mean? I just checked them all and the only thing currently unavailable is the Lululemon leggings I recommend. I’ve been keeping an eye on them since Christmas and I’m not sure if they are just out of stock or being discontinued. I have ordered a new style to try and it should be coming next week- will share if I love them. But everything else I’ve listed is available.
So refreshing to read some tips for us curvy girls!
I thought it was about time 😉 I’m not the only one!
I think you did an excellent job by covering the topic of travel outfits for curvy women without compromising their chic style
Yassss thank you!! As a fellow curvy girl I know it can be extra challenging to find clothes that are comfortable and functional enough for travel. Some awesome ideas here I’m def going to try out!
Yes! I am so grateful to have found these brands so happy to share with my fellow curvy travellers 😉
some really great suggestions here Hannah. I split my (only pair) trousers on our trip to Australia. Couldn’t face trying to replace them to patch job and how for the best. Can’t predict all drama when travelling!
Oh god thats my fear when I go to Asia haha
That’s my biggest fear. My sister and I are going to Thailand later this month and we’re both 6′ tall so if our pants or shoes give out we are S.O.L.
haha yeah sometimes its worth it to pack extra 😉
Side note, good for you for putting a swimwear shot up. I took some shots in Bangkok at a swish infinity pool and haven’t yet found the confidence to share them publicly. Bravo curvy sister, bravo.
haha thanks 🙂
How do you find the Cherry Velvet dresses, in terms of wrinkling? I have four or five of them, but hadn’t really thought about taking them travelling, as I thought that they’d just wrinkle up, and I usually stay in hostels that don’t have irons readily available!!
I am starting to love SweetLegs — I just wish that they were a natural fibre, as I usually try to avoid the synthetics in the crotch area, especially in the hot sweaty summer! But I definitely ordered a bunch today with their 20% off sale this weekend:)
Definitely checking out the other suggestions here!
I find if I hang my cherry velvet dresses over a door or in a closet it helps get the wrinkles out. Can also hang it in the bathroom when you shower- the steam will help 🙂
I love Eddie Bauer’s Girl on the Go insulated trench. It stands up to all sorts of weather. I’ve worn it in pouring rain in summer without the lining and stayed dry, and in the snow and wind in winter with the lining and have stayed warm. It’s low profile enough for city travel.
Good to know! I have a couple things from EB but they only carry plus online (with ridiculous shipping) or in the USA.
I found this site yesterday and love it! My husband is very uninterested in traveling outside of North America and I can’t contain my wanderlust anymore. When you travel solo, do you try to keep it down to a large carry on for most trips or do you check your bags every time?
Thanks Dana! It depends on how long and where I’m travelling. For 1-3 weeks I do carry ons. But when I do multi-month trips I tend to check my bags.
I just found your site and really enjoy it. Great pictures!
One of my favorite travel pieces is the Columbia Pardon My Trench. It’s a belted jacket with trench detailing and a hood and zip up pockets. It’s sleek enough to work in a city but sturdy enough for light hiking, trekking. And it fold up very small. Runs up to 3X.
Columbia have awesome coats
Glad I found this post! Planning a 3 week trip to Italy and Greece (includes a 12 day cruise). I’m sure your suggestions and websites will help me. Great to see fellow Canadian suggestions too.
ooh fun! Definitely check out Diane Kroe pieces for that! The convertible aspects will help you pack lighter + her clothes are beautiful.
Thanks for these ideas. One cmpany I like for clothing is Blue Sky. Available online or in person in BC, this company makes bamboo clothing in real people sizes. I especially like their skort which is knee length with pockets. It can be dressed up or down. My travel wardrobe is almost 100% Blue Sky.
I’ll have to check them out. Thanks!
Thank you so much, thanks to you I’ve found cute swimdresses and city chic was awesome for me!
Yay! glad to help
Thank so much for this article. I will definitely be checking out all of these sites!
Happy to help!
[…] My journey towards self-acceptance and body positivity has been one hell of an adventure but it’s incredible how much has changed over the past few years. I enjoy checking myself out in the mirrors that I used to avoid. I buy more form-fitting clothing, I have a drawer filled full of swimsuits, including multiple bikinis, and I feel adorable in sundresses. (PS: You can find my picks for curvy-friendly travel clothing here) […]
I love your sandals. Where are the from
The gold ones? Birkenstocks!
Curvy and plus, fine, but I am also TALL. Almost impossible to find the combo. Most talls only add leg length and do not add to rise.
Have you tried American Eagle curvy jeans? I’ve tried them since I wrote this and they are now my new favourite. They come in a taller length and my friend who is 6 feet LOVES them
[…] For more of my clothing picks, checking out my list of the best travel clothing for curvy women. […]
Please expand to include those of us above 24/3X. I’m glad the industry is starting to be more inclusive, but apparently they think travel and life stops at size 22/24. It’s even worse if you happen to be short (like me) or tall.
Some brands on this list to go to larger sizes but, agree, the sad fact is a lot of brands don’t. I continue to update this list as I can to be inclusive but I also focus on highlighting brands that I know and use and trust. I don’t just list random brands because they offer certain sizes.
Looking for lightweight dresses. Love some of the ones you wear. But have been bitten with shipping to Canada. When you order to Canada and have delivered by DHL do you get a charge from them to clear customs plus the customs cost? When I looked it up, it looked like a 13% customs fee. Worth shipping to Canada if on sale?
yes the shipping and duty can be brutal. I try to keep anything purchased from abroad under $100 to avoid the duty fees!
Hi, I’ve been reading a lot of information about good travel wear for curvy, larger ladies and one thing I’m having trouble finding is anyone discussing good bras for those skinny strap dresses and tops. I would love someone to give me some insight.
I live in Alberta, Canada so it would helpful to have some information on bras I can purchase in Canadian funds. Thank you.
My go to is Dessee brand (Penningtons carries them). They have a convertible bra that works really well for me. I usually go strapless under my thin-strapped dresses.

Your last-minute guide to Monday's total solar eclipse
A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday , offering millions a rare opportunity to see afternoon skies temporarily darken as the moon blocks the face of the sun.
Tune into NBC News NOW as Lester Holt hosts a two-hour special at 2 p.m. ET Monday from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The eclipse's path fortuitously cuts across Mexico, 15 U.S. states and a small part of eastern Canada. In all other states in the continental U.S., viewers will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, with the moon appearing to take a bite out of the sun and obscuring part of its light.
Here’s everything you need to know about the rare celestial event.
What is a solar eclipse?
Solar eclipses occur when the sun, moon and Earth align. The moon passes between Earth and sun, temporarily blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on Earth.
A total solar eclipse is when the moon fully obscures the sun, whereas a partial solar eclipse means it blocks just a portion of the sun’s face.
Solar eclipses occur only with the new moon. Because the moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted, the three bodies don’t always line up in a way that creates an eclipse.
“Imagine if the moon’s orbit were in the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun — if that were the case, then every new moon, you’d have a total solar eclipse and every full moon, you’d have a lunar eclipse,” Neil DeGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, told NBC News. “So, because things don’t always align, it lends to the rarity of the event and the specialness of the event.”
Where and when will the eclipse be visible?
This year’s eclipse will follow a slightly wider path over more populated areas of the continental U.S. than other total solar eclipses have in the recent past.
NASA estimates that 31.6 million people live within what’s known as the path of totality, where the total solar eclipse will be visible. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path, according to the agency.
The path travels through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Tiny parts of Michigan and Tennessee will also be able to witness totality if conditions are clear.
After the eclipse crosses into Canada, it will pass over southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, at the eastern end of Nova Scotia.
Those outside the path of totality can still take part in the astronomical event by viewing a partial solar eclipse — visible throughout all 48 states of the contiguous U.S. — or a NASA livestream.
The timing, including how long totality lasts, depends on the location, but some spots will see the moon fully cover the sun for up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds.
Below is a list of timings for some cities along the path of totality, as provided by NASA . A number of other resources, including NationalEclipse.com and TimeandDate.com , can also help people plan.
- Dallas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:23 p.m. CT and totality at 1:40 p.m.
- Little Rock, Arkansas: Partial eclipse begins at 12:33 p.m. CT and totality at 1:51 p.m.
- Cleveland: Partial eclipse begins at 1:59 p.m. ET and totality at 3:13 p.m.
- Buffalo, New York: Partial eclipse begins at 2:04 p.m. ET and totality at 3:18 p.m.
- Lancaster, New Hampshire: Partial eclipse begins at 2:16 p.m. ET and totality at 3:27 p.m.
How to safely view a solar eclipse
It is never safe to gaze directly at the sun, even when it is partly or mostly covered by the moon. Special eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors are required to safely view solar eclipses and prevent eye damage. Failing to take the proper precautions can result in severe eye injury, according to NASA .
Eclipse glasses are thousands of times darker than normal sunglasses and specially made to enable wearers to look at the sun during these kinds of celestial events.
Sky-watchers should also never view any part of the sun through binoculars, telescopes or camera lenses unless they have specific solar filters attached. Eclipse glasses should not be used with these devices, as they will not provide adequate protection.
However, during the few minutes of totality, when the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to look with the naked eye.
Beware of fake eclipse glasses. On legitimate pairs, the lenses should have a silver appearance on the front and be black on the inside. The manufacturer’s name and address should be clearly labeled, and they should not be torn or punctured. Check, as well, for the ISO logo and the code “IS 12312-2” printed on the inside.
If you don’t have eclipse glasses, you can make a homemade pinhole projector, which lets sunlight in through a small hole, focuses it and projects it onto a piece of paper, wall or other surface to create an image of the sun that is safe to look at.
All you need is two pieces of white cardboard or plain white paper, aluminum foil and a pin or thumbtack. Cut a 1- to 2-inch square or rectangle out of the center of a piece of white paper or cardboard. Tape aluminum foil over that cut-out shape, then use a pin or thumbtack to poke a tiny hole in the foil.
During the eclipse, place a second piece of white paper or cardboard on the ground as a screen and hold the projector with the foil facing up and your back to the sun. Adjusting how far you hold the projector from the second piece of paper will alter the size of the image on the makeshift screen.
What to look for while viewing the total solar eclipse
For people along the path of totality, there are some fun milestones to keep track of as the total solar eclipse unfolds.
As the eclipse progresses and the sun gets thinner in the sky, it will start to get eerily dark, according to Tyson.
When the last beams of sunlight are about to become obscured, look out for the “diamond ring effect”: The sun’s atmosphere will appear as an illuminated halo, and the last light still visible will look like the diamond of a giant ring.
As the sunlight decreases even further, an effect known as Baily’s beads will be created by the moon’s rugged terrain. Tiny “beads” of light will be visible for only a few seconds around the dark moon, as the last bits of sunlight peer through the moon’s mountains and valleys.
When the moon is fully blocking the sun, it is safe to remove eclipse glasses and look at the total solar eclipse with the naked eye.
Some lucky sky-watchers may even catch a glimpse of a comet .
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks — nicknamed the “ devil comet ” because an eruption last year left it with two distinct trails of gas and ice in the shape of devil horns — is currently visible from the Northern Hemisphere as it swings through the inner solar system.
The comet can be seen in the early evenings by gazing toward the west-northwest horizon. During the eclipse, when skies darken during totality, it may be possible to see the comet near Jupiter, but its visibility will depend on whether it’s in the middle of an outburst and thus brighter than normal.
Most likely, all eyes will be on the alignment of the moon and sun.
“Most people won’t even notice,” Tyson said. “But if you know to look, it’s there.”
When is the next solar eclipse?
The next total solar eclipse will be in 2026, but it will mostly pass over the Arctic Ocean, with some visibility in Greenland, Iceland, Portugal and northern Spain. In 2027, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Spain and a swath of northern Africa.
The next total solar eclipse visible from North America will be in 2033, but only over Alaska. Then in 2044, a total solar eclipse will cross Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, parts of Canada and Greenland.
The next total solar eclipse to cross the continental U.S. coast-to-coast in will occur in 2045. The path of totality for that eclipse will cut through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan
Picking your travel uniform is one of the most important parts of trip planning. You need apparel that can handle a lot of walking, sitting, and sprinting (for those close layovers), and is equally comfortable. Long days in transit mean cozy clothes are a necessity.
We sifted through dozens of brands, styles, customer reviews, and tried and true styles to find the best gear for your suitcase. From shirts to socks, we’re confident these clothes will keep you looking and feeling your best wherever your travels take you.
Best Long-sleeve Shirt
Cuts ao long sleeve curve-hem tee.
Its simple look makes it wearable in just about every setting.
It runs small, so double-check the sizing guide.
The bestselling long-sleeve shirt from Cuts Clothing is made of a buttery-soft performance blend that has a four-way stretch and doesn’t pill. Designed in the brand’s signature fit, the AO Long Sleeve is meant to help you look good at all hours of the day — fitted around the chest with a slimming profile through the waist. Its curve-hem cut sits comfortably below the hip, so you don’t have to worry about it bunching up or your skin showing. A hint of stretch means the shirt will move with you as you reach into the overhead compartment or run through the airport terminal.
Its pre-shrunk fabric lets you easily throw it into the wash with your other laundry worry-free. The wrinkle resistance ensures a clean look, even after it’s been packed in your carry-on or backpack. We also love the color options – classic black and white, along with muted pastels – to ensure you’ll find a shade to pair with any outfit.
The Details: S to XXL | 62 percent polyester, 33 percent cotton, 5 percent spandex
Best Collared Shirt
Ministry of supply apollo raglan sport shirt.
Ministry of Supply
This shirt looks like a standard raglan, but has wrinkle-free fabric great for commuting.
It fits better untucked than tucked.
Ministry of Supply, the innovative apparel brand known for its materials derived from NASA technology, delivers a classy but comfortable option with the Apollo Raglan Sport Shirt. Made with a signature performance fabric, this shirt is 19 times more breathable than traditional woven fabric and offers next-level temperature control — great for long days on the road.
It’s naturally wrinkle-resistant, so caring for it is easy. Simply throw it in the washing machine – no dry cleaning or ironing needed. Its front pocket offers a professional touch and extra storage for AirPods or loose change. Be sure to reference their sizing guide as this shirt tends to run small.
The Details: XS to 3XL | 54 percent polyester, 46 percent propriety-treated polyester
Best T-shirt
Rhone element tee.
It’s fitted, but not too tight.
You may experience some fit issues with the neckline.
This basic tee from Rhone makes for reliable everyday wear. Its organic cotton blend is soft and stretchy, while also incorporating the brand’s signature anti-odor technology (especially handy if you’ll be in warmer climates during your travels). Pairing well with shorts or pants, the Element Tee is available in a crewneck or V-neck and a wide variety of colors. This staple shirt is perfect for no-fuss packing; stuff a few in your backpack and you’ll have style for days. Follow the care instructions when cleaning because the organic cotton can shrink — the brand recommends washing the shirt on a cold setting.
The Details: S to XXL (most colors) | 70 percent cotton, 23 percent polyester, 7 percent spandex
Best Sweater
Nadaam the original cashmere men's sweater.
You can personalize it with a monogram.
It runs small.
Most people love a good cashmere sweater, but no one loves taking care of a good cashmere sweater. Durable and cashmere don’t naturally go together, after all. However, the Original Cashmere Sweater from Nadaam combines 100 percent cashmere luxury with the low-maintenance ease of cotton. The ribbed collar and cuffs won’t stretch out with wear, making it a safe bet for cashmere fanatics who are always on the go. It comes in over 10 core colors (plus limited-edition colors every season) and best of all, it’s less than $100. It’s also machine washable (lay flat to dry) — making for one of the most durable cashmeres for travel we’ve seen.
The Details: XXS to XXL | 100 percent cashmere
Best Jacket
Nomatic the outset jacket.
It has a full set of comprehensive features that make it ideal for hours of transit.
It’s not made for extremely cold weather.
From popular travel brand Nomatic, The Outset Jacket offers as much functionality as their bags and luggage. This lightweight jacket has four-way stretch, breathability, and a water-, stain-, and wrinkle-resistant fabric. Perforated armpits provide extra airflow for when you’re rushing from place to place. The hood adjusts to your preference and the whole jacket can be folded into a small travel pillow for when you need to catch up on sleep during a flight. With pockets on the left chest, inside the zipper, and fleece-lined hand pockets, you’ll have plenty of space for your passport, wallet, and other essentials.
The Details: S to XXL | 100 percent polyester (primary body); 85 percent nylon, 15 percent spandex (secondary body)
Best Peacoat
Alo wool gameday overcoat.
It’s simple, while still making a fashion statement.
It’s only 25 percent wool, so peacoat purists may prefer other materials.
Great styles from rapidly growing yoga brand Alo aren’t a surprise at this point, but the Wool Gameday Overcoat is nothing short of timeless. It has a relaxed fit, ideal for layering, and comes in black, heather gray, and a limited-edition camel colorway that looks straight out of a fashion magazine. It has all the classic peacoat features like a waist belt, notched lapels, and a front button to hold it all together. Its wool blend fabric sits right in the middle of the warmth spectrum — it’ll keep you warm, but won’t overheat you. But be sure you’re ready to make the investment, the Gameday Overcoat will set you back well over $300.
The Details: XS to XXL | 50 percent polyester, 25 percent wool, 20 percent viscose
Comrad Combed Cotton Crew Socks
They work for any activity, including workouts, so you won’t need to change for different settings.
There’s not much compression in the ankle.
Frequent travelers would be hard-pressed to find a better pair of socks for the road. The Combed Cotton Crew Socks feature cushioning in the spots that get the most impact when walking, like the heels, balls of your feet, and toes. A snug fit at the ankles and calf help them stay in place and the compression band ensures your arches will get the support they need when the days (or flights) get long. The classic crew length will pair well with sneakers or dress shoes, and the combed cotton is cozy and breathable.
The Details: S to XL | 65 percent cotton, 30 percent nylon, 5 percent spandex
Best Sneakers
New balance men's 574 core sneaker.
New Balance
It’s extra versatile and pairs well with many outfits.
The mesh upper is susceptible to getting dirty.
The New Balance 574 is the epitome of a classic sneaker. While it looks good, the real magic is in the thick cushioning. This sneaker was built to be versatile. The mesh upper offers breathability and the rugged sole provides traction for brisk walking and even light jogs if you forget your usual running shoes and want to exercise away from home. Its padded collar and tongue is supportive, and it's available in a wide range of colorways so you’re sure to find a pair that suits you.
The Details: 4 to 18 | Suede and mesh upper, polyester components, rubber outsole
Everlane The Slim 4-Way Stretch Organic Jean
They offer both function and style.
They can be skinny in the thighs.
If you love jeans but don’t like the time and effort that comes with breaking them in, Everlane’s stretch jeans feel great right out of the box while still boasting that classic look you’re after. The organic Turkish cotton is dyed sustainably using an innovative method that reduces water consumption by 55 percent.
The brand offers four different shades of blue and two shades of black and they look good cuffed or uncuffed, meaning you’re never short on versatility. Ringing up at an affordable price point, you may even want to buy a few pairs in different colors. Best of all, they’re backed by Everlane’s 365-day guarantee — if anything happens to them, they’ll replace your pair.
The Details: Various waists and lengths | 94 percent cotton, 2 percent elastane, 4 percent other fiber
Best Joggers
Vuori sunday performance jogger.
The additional front and back zipper pockets are great for extra storage.
They’re lightweight, so not meant for extremely cold climates.
The Sunday Performance Jogger is our top pick for travel joggers for its technical fabric, fit, and features. While the tech specs are impressive, what’s more impressive is just how soft they are from the very first wear. The material is a polyester-elastane blend that is breathable, warm, and suited for high-paced movement or just relaxing on the couch. They feature a tapered leg with elastic cuffs, making them flattering for most body types. For trips, we love the zipper pockets on the left thigh and back that make stowing our valuables easy. The elastic waistband and drawcord make the fit adjustable — perfect for when you’ve just finished wolfing down a local delicacy and need some extra waist space.
The Details: XS to XXL | 88 percent polyester, 12 percent elastane
Best Chinos
Bonobos original stretch washed chino 2.0.
You can pick from a wide range of colors and fits.
The length is only available in 2-inch increments.
A good pair of chinos can replace almost all of the pants you would normally pack on a trip, whether it’s for work, pleasure, or both. Bonobos made a name for itself with its popular chinos and then leveled up, dropping this updated version that is perfect for when you want a comfortable pair of pants, but don’t want to commit to fully “performance” materials. They’re made of non-iron, four-way stretch cotton that also wicks moisture. With quality accents, different fit options, and a multitude of colors, you’ll look so stylish your fellow passengers won’t even realize how comfortable you are. An extra zip pocket is discreet — perfect for your most valuable possessions.
The Details: Various waists, fits, and lengths available | 92 percent cotton, 8 percent spandex
Best Shorts
Lululemon t.h.e. linerless short 7”.
It has a slim profile, unlike baggy basketball shorts.
It’s not the best option if you prefer shorts with a liner.
Lululemon’s T.H.E. Linerless Short 7” is a do-it-all short for training, chilling, and walking. Designed with workouts in mind (T.H.E stands for “train hard every day”), these shorts are made of an extremely lightweight fabric that stretches with you and is immensely breathable. Pockets on both sides plus an additional zipper pocket provide ample storage. We love that these shorts don’t have a liner — busy days of travel often call for changing bottoms, so shorts that don’t require undergarments can become more of an annoyance than a convenience. They come in six neutral colors and if you prefer longer shorts, there’s also a 9-inch version.
The Details: S to XXL | 86 percent polyester, 14 percent elastane
Best Underwear
Jack archer jetsetter boxer briefs.
Jack Archer
The signature modal fabric is three times as soft as Pima cotton.
They’re a bit expensive for a single pair of underwear.
We’ve seen few briefs that offer as many options as Jack Archer’s Jetsetter Boxer Briefs. Whatever your preference is, be it mid-length, long, or short, you’re sure to find an option that’s perfect for you. The flat waistband won’t curl up and the compression fabric stays in place, but isn’t too tight. Anti-odor material ensures you’ll be fresh all day, a must for when you’re going from place to place. Every detail was thought out, with soft threads that won’t irritate your skin. Plus, all of those performance features mean you don’t have to worry about overpacking — these briefs can go the distance if need be (but please do change into a new pair every day!).
The Details: S to XXL | 92 percent proprietary modal, 8 percent elastane
Best Swimsuit
Fair harbor the anchor.
Fair Harbor
The prints and patterns are fun and unique.
The sizing can be hit or miss.
The Anchor Short from Fair Harbor offers an athletic fit with a signature non-mesh liner. Swimmers everywhere rejoice: no more chafing. The fabric is water-repellent and dries quickly. With plenty of design options, you could take these from a pool party to cocktail hour and still look fashionable.
Made with recycled polyester, Fair Harbor uses 12 recycled water bottles for each pair in the manufacturing process. Preppy nautical designs don’t need to be reserved for summer getaways to the Hamptons or Martha’s Vineyard – with the Fair Harbor Anchor trunks, you’ll also feel right at home in Cancun or floating in your local river.
The Details: S to 3XL | 88 percent recycled polyester, 12 percent spandex
Best Hoodie
Buck mason hooded sweatshirt.
The 322-GSM (grams per square meter) French terry offers a soft but strong touch.
It’s not fleece lined, like a lot of hoodies.
It’s hard to find a more timeless top than Buck Mason’s Brush Loopback Hooded Sweatshirt. Modeled after collegiate sportswear of years past, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with a better vintage rendition, even from the titans of sports apparel.
It has a classic, easy-wearing fit with thick drawcords and a large kangaroo pocket that’ll fit your hands, phone, and keys. Reinforced elbows ensure this hoodie will last through years of friction so you can feel confident packing it trip after trip without worrying about needing to repair it. Match it with a pair of sweatpants or jeans and you’ll be ready for a cozy takeoff.
The Details: XS to XXL | 100 percent cotton
Best Dress Shoes
Amberjack the original.
They're available in many different shades of brown.
They may be too sporty-looking for truly formal occasions.
Dubbed as “The World’s Most Advanced Dress Shoes,” Amberjack’s The Original packs in a whole lot of features without sacrificing the clean look you’d expect from a standard dress shoe. An A-grade leather upper combined with a dual-density outsole and heel support make these especially good for business travel, whether that means long days on your feet or long hours in an airplane middle seat.
Once you reach your destination, if you find yourself going from meeting to meeting, you’ll definitely appreciate the sneaker-like comfort that these provide. Made in one of Portugal’s top factories, finding shoes this nice at a lower price would be nearly impossible.
The Details: 7 to 15 | Leather, sheepskin, thermoplastic polyurethane
Best Sandals
Birkenstock atacama birko-flor.
Birkenstock
It incorporates all the things that make Birkenstock iconic into a performance sandal that's great for motion.
They have velcro straps rather than the typical pin buckles Birkenstock is known for.
Birkenstock is synonymous with sandals for good reason. Because leather sandals may not be the most comfortable for covering the high walking mileage that comes with travel, the brand’s Atacama Birko-Flor is our pick for the best travel sandal (though you can’t go wrong with the brand’s Bostons or Arizonas , either).
Made with a proprietary synthetic upper, the hook-and-loop straps won’t be abrasive on your skin, even as the days grow long. Their polyurethane (PU) sole and footbed provide enough bounce for guys spending all day on their feet. Plus, as with all their models, the brand has incorporated its signature footbed shape for support in the areas your feet need it most, from heel to toe and everywhere in between.
The Details: 6 to 13.5 (batched sizing) | Synthetic leather, PU
Tips for Buying Men’s Travel Clothes
Prioritize versatility.
When you’re on the road, your bag will only hold so much. So when you’re choosing what to wear on a trip, be it for work or vacation, pick apparel and accessories that you’ll be able to wear more than once.
In an ideal world, you could rock the same shoes every day and rotate a couple of pairs of pants, plus a tee or two. If you need more than that, think about how you can optimize your travel space, whether that means wearing your suit trousers on travel days or relying on your favorite hoodie for workouts and colder days at the office.
Consider care instructions
If you’ve ever traveled for more than a day or two, you’ll know that sometimes you need to do laundry while you’re out on a trip. Bring apparel that is either easy to wash or doesn’t need to be washed frequently.
Prioritize performance fabrics that are moisture-wicking and antimicrobial to keep sweat and stink at bay. Undershirts you can wear more than once and socks that don’t pick up a stench after a few hours will come in clutch.
Choose your materials carefully
Much like the specifics of caring for your clothes on the road, you will want to focus on the materials your clothes and accessories are made out of. Merino wool, for example, can go much longer without getting smelly than Dri-Fit and other similar performance materials. A cotton hoodie may be good for the first few days but lose some steam when the trip gets long.
Also, make sure you wear clothes that are comfortable during transit. Linen is an ideal material for wearing on an airplane or in a car because the nappy, wrinkly look comes naturally — nobody will question your linen suit for its wrinkles because they’re supposed to be there.
You want to dress for comfort without looking like a slob. Think flexible, stretchy pants and a well-fitting crewneck sweatshirt or your favorite pair of jeans paired with a vintage blazer. Both outfits will look great but will keep you comfortable throughout the journey. Consider adding compression socks to help reduce swelling in the feet and legs on long flights.
Like we mentioned, think about pairing some broken-in jeans with a comfy, roomy blazer or pick up a nice pair of joggers that don’t leave you looking like you just hopped out of bed. Make sure your clothes fit comfortably and correctly, then decide what materials will hold up to the rigors and constant movement that comes with travel.
For long-term travel, or even a two-week jaunt to a warm climate, you’ll want to figure out which services you’ll have at your disposal when it comes to cleaning your clothes. Some places offer complimentary dry cleaning and washer/dryer service, but most places will have you searching for quarters and a laundromat. Just do a bit of research before you head out and pack accordingly. Heading on a week-long trip with no washer? Pack your bags full of socks and underwear. Headed to a five-star resort? You can be a bit more economical when packing.
