A pair of deep-pocketed slouchy overalls made with ultra lightweight fabric
Promising review: "The pocket in front is very handy. It feels like I'm wearing nothing. The overalls are light and flow-y. The fabric quality could be better — it may not last long, but it's inexpensive. I get so many compliments when I wear them. I wore them for plane travel and on the beach in Maui and Mexico and were perfect for all. Would I purchase again? Hell yeah. Size down possibly, they are slightly large." — Jamie Pauluk
A reversible packable puffer jacket designed to fold up into a convenient travel pillow
Promising review: "I had been looking for a bomber jacket for awhile. I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I was more than impressed. It's warm without being too thick. I travel a lot, so I love that it becomes a pillow and saves me loads of packing space. A real steal at the price" — Ian P.
An off-the-shoulder maxi with pockets for an effortless look you can quickly grab
Promising review: "I bought this dress for my trip to Hawaii. It was my favorite dress I wore on this trip!! I bought a large thinking the medium may be too tight, but I could have been fine with a medium because of how stretchy and comfortable the material is. Buying more colors for sure!!!"— Maria E. Montoya
A fitted sports and yoga tank with a built in padded bra
Promising review: "It’s very comfortable for working out and traveling, too! It looks great on. I’m a small in tops, but I ordered a medium, and it fits perfectly fine. It’s super comfortable, not super fitted, but just about right." — Akshita
A button-down A-line skirt that can be dressed up or down
Promising review: "This skirt is so versatile. I usually have a hard time finding skirts because I have wider hips so skirts that are longer create a weird silhouette. This skirt is not that. I have been able to wear it to work and feel super comfortable. The fabric is sturdy, and it has a little of a wrinkled look so it is great to travel with. I would recommend this skirt to anyone who is looking for some flare in their wardrobe but doesn't want to break the bank. I got this skirt in red and plan on getting it in a few more colors. Also, it was true to size." — Christina
A pair of classic Reebok shoes that are comfortable and pair well with jeans, skirts and more
Promising review: "These shoes are comfy enough to be on my feet for 8 hours at a time for work, and they're still stylish. After my first ones lasted me two years, I have come back to buy a second pair. These shoes are definitely more suited for normal to narrow feet, and I wouldn't recommend them if you have particularly wide feet. They are also super easy to clean in the washing machine or with a wet wipe in a pinch." — Ommy
A flowy tank dress with adjustable that's made from extra soft material
Promising review: "This dress has adjustable straps. It hugs you but isn't bodycon, which I liked. I paired it with a denim jacket for versatile temps of the airport, and it was great for travel." — Keeli
A pair of pull-on Levi's that look like jeans, but feel like sweatpants
Promising review: "Do these jeans make my butt look AMAZING??? Why yes, yes they do. These are amazing. Great for travel because they are comfy, yet don’t get loose and stretchy. They maintain their shape for several wears between washing. You can dress them up or down. My new go-to jeans. Ordered my usual size, and they got like a glove. I have a short inseam, so these fit me a little below the ankle." — Kettlebell Swinger
An extra comfortable and stretchy drawstring jumpsuit
Promising review: "I absolutely love this romper. The stretch is amazing! I originally ordered a large based on reviews and it was way too big so I decided to order the medium and even that was big so I decided to order one more time and did the small and that fit perfect! This romper is sooo comfy, perfect for traveling, running errands or just lounging in." — Yvonne
A pair of abrasion-resistant shorts made from quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabric
Promising review: "I had been eyeing these for a while, and I am so glad I purchased them. The wide waistband is so comfortable. The material is great for travel — dirt and liquids brush right off. The zippered pockets are great to keep things secure when on the go." — Rachel G
A two-piece midi outfit that fits perfectly into tropical places
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this outfit!! It is cute, sexy, and comfortable to wear. I bought this outfit as a 'travel outfit' to wear while going to the beach!! I should have bought two at the same time, but I didn't! I definitely will be ordering more colors next time."— Moni
A printed coverup to wear with swimsuits or other clothes

A pair of suede sneakers that are super lightweight, waterproof and antimicrobial
Promising review: "I have had my eye on these shoes for quite some time. They seemed minimal, good quality, and a great everyday shoe that I could throw on yet still look classy. Despite my love for them prior to receiving them, they still blew my expectations out of the water. They are all the things I anticipated, becoming a quick wardrobe staple, but they are also just so dang comfortable. 'Travel' does not just pertain to their packability, I could totally see myself walking 20,000 steps around Amsterdam with these shoes on my feet." — Kristen K.

A pair of extra comfortable joggers made with wrinkle-resistant fabric
Promising review: "This material is the best thing to happen to my wardrobe in a long time. So comfortable, packable, wrinkle resistant, gorgeous colors. Great for casual office days, evenings and weekends. I wish the Delaney joggers were just a wee bit longer; at 5'10" they hit a little higher on leg than I'd prefer but all in all, wonderful pants that get a lot of wear!" — Rebecca H.
A tie-dye maxi you can wear on its own or with a jacket
Promising review: "I bought this dress to travel to Mexico. It's the perfect travel dress. I wore with sneakers, leggings under, and jean jacket over because was in the 30s when we departed. I am only 5'3½", so I tied the front and back together in a cute little side knot for using airplane lavatory. Once you arrive, grab your sandals from your carry on, pop in the bathroom and ditch your leggings, throw on some sunglasses and you are good to go!" — EA

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 flight. 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!" — Heather G.
A patterned v-neck skater dress that pairs well with both sandals and sneakers
Promising review: "This dress travelled well and was the appropriate knee length for entry into the Vatican and Roman churches. It can be dressed up with a sweater or scarves or dressed down with a jean jacket and sneakers or sandals. These are great all-around dresses, and I have them in solids and floral prints. Great buy!" — JJ

A pair of chic Chelsea-style rain boots that are comfortable to walk in
Promising review: "I got these boots for my trip to Holland since the weather is unpredictable and rainy. They were the perfect boots that were cute enough to wear with anything, jeans, dresses, etc., and they did their job of being completely waterproof. I did a lot of walking in these boots, and I will say that I did end up taking the inside soles out bc they kept scrunching up. After that, they were perfect. They held up perfectly for all the walking and still basically look new. I am very happy with my purchase." — Shannon Bly
A water-resistant packable and portable puffer meant to fold up small into a small included pouch
Promising review: "This is the PERFECT travel jacket! It's lightweight but nearly windproof. This coat SAVED ME in the blustering DC spring winds. It folds up into a tiny roll, so it takes no room in your bag. It’s surprisingly warm for such a lightweight coat. So happy to have had it!" — GMS

"I love this dress! It's a perfect dress for taking on a travel adventure because it looks great and packs well. I wish there were more colors available because it sold out fast." — Amy S.
A pair of essential Birkenstock sandals that are made with a lightweight waterproof material
Promising review: "I've had a number of Birkenstocks in the past, but I wanted a pair I could get wet and worry about. These sandals are great! Just as comfortable as the classic Birks, but you can walk in the sand and water, and they don't smell. I've traveled with them, walked all over cities, all day and my feet feel great." — esther porcella
A denim sherpa lined jacket for those cooler days on your trip .
