They say it's about the journey, and not the destination... but when it comes to traveling in uncomfortable clothes, the journey can feel like it's taking forever!
Few things are worse than being stuck on a long flight in too-tight pants, or crammed in the car in a top that doesn't breathe. Or what about those times where you have to rush from the plane to your first destination in an outfit that looks like it's never seen an iron? That's why we went hunting for the most travel-friendly clothes, from movable dresses to breathable pants to tops that will look as fresh and crisp as the day you bought them, even after a trans-Atlantic flight.
Shop our picks below, and pack up! 'Cause adventure is out there...
The Japanese GoWeave Sleeveless Wrap Dress
Heading to an event the moment you step off the plane? This is the dress for you. With a waist-cinching tie and a flattering V-neck, this wrap dress has style to spare, but the best part? It's made from their special wrinkle-resistant Japanese GoWeave fabric, so you can toss it in your suitcase without fear, or wear it on the plane and buckle up without worrying about wrinkles.
Brooklyn Plaid Ankle Pant
Wear 'em dressy, wear 'em casual, wear 'em however you want, 'cause these pants are ready for anything.

They're both packing and machine wash-friendly.
Ora Set
Go lower key in your travel gear with this comfy set that's shapeless, sleeveless, and basically says, "I'm on vacation!" It's effortless dressing at its finest, with wide-leg pants sporting an elastic wasitband, side pockets and a high rise, and a corresponding cowl-neck top with dramatic side slits for a little fashionable oomph.
High-Waisted Jegging
When you want the look of jeans, but you don't want to wear 'em on a flight, jeggings are the answer. With a ton of stretch and just the right amount of structure, these will keep you comfy on a long flight, holding their shape like authentic denim, but without the restriction. Go ahead and have more plane snacks!

Equal parts chic and cozy, this sweater is the best of both worlds to suit all your travel needs. It's made of 70% recycled cashmere, so not only is it super soft, but it's doing good for the environment.

RecTrek Pant
This is the definitive go everywhere, do everything pant! With a relaxed fit and slight crop, these are made of OV's stretch-woven RekTrek fabric, so these pants will move with you whether you're fighting for extra leg room on the plane, or scrambling your way up a mountain during your spring break getaway.
