Moshe Flowy Tank Top
For easy, carefree travel style, pack a few loose tank tops, like this Moshu style. Not only will they take up very little space in your suitcase, but they can easily be paired with denim shorts or leggings, depending on your plans. One shopper said the breathable fabric made it the perfect tank top, while another praised its flattering fit.
Athletic Works Bike Shorts
Full-length leggings might be too hot depending on your destination, so opt for bike shorts instead. This $11 style from Athletic Works combines a stretchy waistband, moisture-wicking fabric, and a 5-inch inseam to prevent painful chafing. One reviewer says they offer great support around the tummy and feature buttery-soft fabric.
Scoop Ultimate Scuba Knit Cropped Sweatshirt
A cozy sweatshirt is a must-have for plane travel, especially if you’re prone to cold. One shopper called this cropped sweatshirt the softest ever, while another said it features a smooth knit that’s luxurious to the touch. To complete the set, get the matching pants, which are just as comfortable. Many customers love this style so much that they own it in multiple colors.
Temophon T-shirt dress
A t-shirt dress is an easy outfit to take from day to night. You can wear it casually with sneakers or dress it up with sandals for dinner. If you want to pack light, this comfortable dress is a must-have. You can wear it over and over again, and it doubles as a swimsuit cover-up. Plus, it folds up small to fit in your suitcase.
