Before I jet set off on a recent work trip, I found myself struggling to put outfits together – not just for my day-to-day once I arrived, but for the actual plane ride itself. I had a busy itinerary, which meant that I’d need to jump into several meetings and activities immediately after I landed – and all while coming off of a long haul overnight flight.
Naturally, the whole scenario left me with more questions than answers: Do I dress professionally and sacrifice a comfortable night’s rest onboard the plane? Can I get away with wearing loungewear to a work meeting? Are there any wrinkle-free travel clothes I can pack into my personal carry-on and quickly change into once I’ve landed?
Dare I say, travel outfits might be the most complicated thing to plan for ahead of a trip (yes, even moreso than booking flights or hotels). Fortunately, the experience not only forced me to do some serious research on the best travel outfits, but it also introduced me to the best brands for finding functional, versatile attire – beyond my usual favorites like Nordstrom or Spanx. Whether you’re gearing up for a busy work trip or hoping to unwind on your next red eye flight, there are so many options to shop online.
Ahead, I rounded up the best travel outfits for women, with styles that range from comfy wardrobe essentials to wrinkle-free options and plane travel outfits that you can wear from the airport to a work event and beyond. These pieces come from top brands like Alo Yoga, Revolve, and more. Keep reading to shop my selects for the best travel outfits for long flights.
