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!

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 says

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

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!

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.

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 says
Ok I would wear every single one of these. I love the almost pajamas one. LOL
Crystal // Dreams, etc. says
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 says
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!
