No matter whether you are travelling by air, land or sea, you will want to look effortlessly chic while ensuring you are comfortable throughout your entire journey. 

Below, you will find the best travel clothes for women and outfit inspiration for all of your trips, whether you’re taking a quick road trip or a long haul vacation.

I know that travel is harder at the moment, but parts of the world are opening up. Many of us can’t wait to travel again. If you are going on a trip soon (when it’s safe to do so), read on for some travel clothes inspo.

Best Travel Outfits
You may consider getting a few designated travel outfits. Investing in stylish travel clothes for women can help you to put together a “stylish travel clothes uniform”. You’ll also find your travel outfits work well for day-to-day wear and running errands.

Before you build the perfect women’s travel wardrobe for your needs, consider these three points below when choosing your own signature travel outfits:

  1. Fabrics For Travelling

    The material of your clothing makes all the difference in the world when choosing travel clothes for women! Natural fibers like cotton and linen wrinkle easily, so you may wish to avoid wearing 100% linen or cotton fabrics if that bothers you. The best wrinkle-resistant fabric options include:
    • Polyester (although you may wish to consider whether you will be too hot as this doesn’t breathe)
    • Wool
    • Cashmere
    • Tencel
    • Lycra
    • Knits
    • Jersey
    • Spandex

    A blend of any of these with a natural fiber like cotton would be perfect, giving you the stretch you need for long period of sitting while still looking crisp.

    2. The Best Fit For Your Travel Wear

    Loose fitting, easy tailoring is the best choice when travelling, especially regarding your pants or bottoms of choice.

    You don’t want to deal with tight, constricting pants when you’re in a small cabin for a few hours.

    Choosing materials with some stretch to them further adds to your comfort level. In Calgary, Mountain Equipment Co-op is a wonderful source for travel clothes!

    3. What To Wear When Travelling – Colour

    Go with patterns or darker tones when travelling. You’re likely to be crammed into a public seat that may not be 100% clean. And coffee spills from those wobbly tray tables happen.

    If you’re travelling to a foreign country, darker or earthy, neutral colours help you blend in and look more low-key, too. Save the white clothes for when you get there.
