Four Essential Travel Outfits For Summer

If you have plans to get away for the summer, you’ll need my list of FOUR essential travel outfits that are equally adorable as they are affordable!

I love to travel. Okay, let me be honest here by saying I really haven’t done too much of it. I have the travel bug (like, really bad) but I’ve only been off the East Coast once in my whole life! The most traveling I ever did was when my husband I were still dating long-distance. I would fly from Virginia to Florida once a month to visit him, and I got really good at packing. I also learned which pieces in my closet made for the best traveling outfits.

If you’re flying, comfort is key. So is practicality. You also want to stay warm, make the walk through security as simple as possible, and still look cute. Sounds like a lot of work, right? Honestly, it’s not nearly as challenging as you might think. I did some deep-diving through American Eagle‘s website to round up FOUR essential travel outfits that you’ll be able to rock through the summer season and beyond!

These are perfect! As someone who travels quite a bit, I can vouch and say that these would all be so perfect for travel!

Candace Hampton

This is definitely helpful! Traveling is fun, but it could also be really exhausting. I once spent 11 hrs on an airport, so I know how important is to be comfy and to travel lite. Thanks for sharing!

I will always need a classic T-Shirt and a pair of denim to get me though the week. When traveling, I keep it very simple with neutral colors so everything can work together if needed. Thank you for sharing these ideas for inspiration!

Erin

I love traveling too and packing is the worst for a family of 5. The amount of stuff I had to pack to go to DC this past weekend for 2 days was insane!

I lovvvvvvvve your outfits that you put together here!!!

Anna English

I need that french fries tee, ASAP!

Carolyn

Yes, girl! I LOVE this travel outfit inspo! I’m going a couple more places this summer and looking good while being pretty comfy is important to me. I love the skirt look the most! Maybe because it’s monochrome and I love neutrals haha. Either way, big fan!

Love all of these travel outfits, especially the first one!

Becky

I think the “colorful and cute” one is my favorite! I’m definitely a fan of colors.

Renee || Getting Fit Fab

These are such cute travel outfits. The nearly dressed up would be perfect for a casual dinner.

Carrington Barfield

Loving these outfits girl! These would work for so many different vacations. The “nearly dressed up” is probably my fave, I could 100% see myself wearing this!

Xx, C

Laura

I absolutely LOVE these four outfits! It’s so hard to actually pair outfits together, so this is the perfect collage! Loved this post!

Morgan

The almost PJs looks SO comfy– that’s so perfect for travel, especially when on a plane. Love these!!

Kait | Slumber & Scones

These are great travel outfits! I always want to be comfy when I’m traveling and tend to just throw on leggings, but these are way cuter.

Kileen

These outfits are so cute and chic babe! Definitely ideal for traveling in comfort and style! My favorite is the “almost pajamas!”

Jamaria Johnson

Super cute outfits! Thank you so much for sharing! xo

Greta

What a great guide! So perfect for travel.

Monica

I have a trip coming up to CA, so these options are perfect! I’m packing my bags this weekend and will use this as my guide. I love being cute and comfy when traveling. (Although when I get off a plane, I never look cute lol)

Taylor Mobley

Ok I would wear every single one of these. I love the almost pajamas one. LOL

Crystal // Dreams, etc.

The muted monochrome is totally my go-to when I travel. And it needs to be comfortable, because… I don’t want to sit in a car or on an airplane for a while in something that isn’t comfy!

TianShanae

Excellent choice on these pieces. They are all equally cute – relatively casual, simple yet chic. I completely agree that comfort is key when it comes to travel, especially when flying or going on long road trips. My go to is definitely a denim jacket or cardigan, and for sure no belts. Great post!
