These 12 Wrinkle-free Travel Clothes Will Be the M.V.P.s of Your Suitcase — and They’re Starting at $23

They pack like a dream.

Travel + Leisure

I’m one of those people who can’t leave the house in good conscience with wrinkles all over my outfit. But it’s hard to avoid when you travel. I’ve tried every method — rolling things up Marie Kondo-style, laying each item flat and piling it, using packing cubes — but wrinkles are just a reality of the jet-set lifestyle. Sure, I could bring a travel steamer or mini iron, but there's not always room for one in my carry-on. Or, I could curate a wardrobe packed with wrinkle-resistant tops, bottoms, and one-pieces . That way I can skip the part where I have the ironing board set up and my travel companions are impatiently scrolling through their phones because they’re inevitably ready before me.

Some clothes are specially constructed to be wrinkle-resistant, and you’ll find that in the product messaging. But other times, you just have to look at the materials on the label. Some fabrics, like linen and cotton, though great for the warmer weather, are notorious for wrinkling at the drop of a hat. Others have the natural ability to resist and repel wrinkles. These fabrics include (but are not limited to) Supima cotton, lyocell (brand-name Tencel), an eco-friendly acetate called triacetate, charmeuse, and certain types of polyester. Luckily, a lot of your favorite brands are already on board with the convenience of wrinkle-free clothes. Among them are Athleta, Everlane, Madewell and Summersault. And of course, you can dig around Amazon and find your fair share of wrinkle-resistant clothes that travel well, too. 

Below, I've rounded up 12 of my favorites, from tanks and polos to rompers and cover-ups. Bonus points for the pieces that include other travel-friendly features, like UPF protection and moisture-wicking fabrics. Bottom line: packing these pieces will make your trip go a lot smoother. Your travel buddies can thank me later.

Timeson Three-quarter-sleeve Blouse

A crisp white blouse is a travel M.V.P., but it’s usually made of quick-to-wrinkle cotton. Not this sheer Timeson blouse from Amazon, though. It’s got wrinkle-resistant polyester (with a touch of stretchy spandex) and has a more relaxed silhouette than a traditional Oxford shirt with its tunic-style design. My white blouses are in constant rotation when I travel because they’re so versatile, and this one is unique in that its precise length allows it to look great tucked in or left loose. Plus, it pairs nicely even with yoga pants. Take it from this shopper : “I packed this blouse in a suitcase for a trip and it didn't wrinkle." 

PrettyGarden Midi Summer Dress

Twirl your way through the vineyards in this pretty poplin PrettyGarden dress made with wrinkle-resistant polyester. Its pleated skirt, ruffled hem, and keyhole front make it fun and flirty for any warm-weather destination. And, you can dress it up or down depending on your accessories, so wear it straight out of your suitcase for whatever's next on your itinerary. According to one Amazon customer , it “washes well, never wrinkles" and is "very classy and feminine." 

Babaton New Power Blazer

This long, versatile blazer by Aritzia-favorite brand Babaton is my go-to for travel and the perfect layer to help any outfit transition from day to night. I’ve worn it to elevate a white-tee-and-jeans look and over a bodycon dress for a bit more modesty. Its open front, collarless design and ruched, three-quarter sleeves keep it looking chic instead of stuffy, and the fabric is made of eco-friendly triacetate with a touch of polyester — which is the reason why I can literally ball it up in my suitcase and it will never wrinkle. 

Summersalt The Silky Luxe Beach to Brunch Wrap Skirt

With Summersalt's Beach to Brunch Wrap Skirt, You can pack up your beach bag with all of the essentials and not have to worry about your swimsuit cover-up getting smushed by your towel, books, snacks, and sunscreen. It's made with silky charmeuse fabric and is specifically designed to resist wrinkles. As the name implies, this skirt can be worn as part of your post-beach outfit thanks to its stunning print, stylish details, and maxi skirt length that provides the right amount of coverage for a restaurant or walk around the city. 

Amazon Essentials Lightweight Open-front Cardigan

I’m so glad cardigans are on-trend again because they truly come in handy when I visit places that are hot during the day and chilly at night (Mexico City and Lisbon, I’m talking to you). Roll up this lightweight, best-selling Amazon Essentials cardigan and pop it in your tote without worry because it’s got modal and polyester mixed in, so it won’t look crumpled when you pull it out at night. A reviewer confirmed that it's “wrinkle-resistant and packs well,” and you have your choice of 20 colors and prints to help it maximize your travel wardrobe. 

REI Co-op Sahara Bermuda Shorts 

Outdoor activities in warmer temps call for shorts that are comfy and rugged, and this pair by REI Co-op is the brand’s answer for Bermuda shorts fans. Not only are these water-repellent, stretchy, and outfitted with UPF sun protection, but they’re also wrinkle-resistant thanks to their resilient nylon construction. I’m not even a regular hiker, but there seems to be a spontaneous hike on almost every extended trip that I take, so this pair is going in my cart for summer. 

Madewell Pull-on Wide-leg Pants in Softdrape

Another great fabric option for the wrinkle-free travel life is lyocell — also known by its brand-name Tencel — a sustainable type of rayon that’s known for being super soft, durable, and breathable. That’s what Madewell’s Softdrape fabric is made up of, making its elastic-waist Wide-leg Pants the perfect pair for all-day wear. They can be dressed up or down and paired with anything from a T-shirt or tank to a button-down blouse or bodysuit. According to one reviewer, "They're so comfortable, flattering and stylish. The material is super lightweight and flowy. They'd be flattering on any body type." 

Lands’ End Moisture-wicking UPF Sun Curved Hem Tunic Tank Top

Land's End 

A soft polyester blend fabric is responsible for making sure that this performance tank top won’t wrinkle, and its UPF 50 sun protection helps shield you from UV rays on long walks and hikes. The ribbed top also wicks away sweat and resists odors, comes in eight cute colors, and pairs perfectly with leggings and shorts. I wore a top just like this to go off-roading in a military tank in the Czech Republic, and wish that I had it for my jeep tour of Sintra, Portugal. It also would have come in handy during my Kenyan safari. Moral of the story? Your travels will often present you with hot-weather, open-sun activities, so you’ll never regret packing a top that does as much as this one does. Use the code " FAVORITES " to get select colors on sale for as little as $23. 

Athleta Essential Tee Dress

You’ll always find an occasion to wear this T-shirt dress from Athleta, a brand that masters the intersection between stylish and high-performing activewear and travel clothes. The dress has a playful, flowy shape constructed of breathable, wrinkle-resistant Supima cotton and comes in four colors, including classic gray and black (plus bold hues like orchid pink and rosewood red). The dress makes getting ready a breeze, too — just put it on and pair it with sandals or sneakers, and you’re good to go. One customer wrote, ”I took to Hawaii for spring break… [it was a] comfortable, cute, easy-to-pack, pretty dress." 

Basudam Golf Polo Shirt

If a round of tennis, pickleball, or golf is on the agenda, this wrinkle-free polyester polo shirt should be in your suitcase. Its modified V-neck collar gives it a visual twist to make it more fashionable than your average polo. It’s also moisture-wicking and stretchy enough to handle a day filled with sports, but polished enough to keep you looking put together for post-game drinks or grub. “Female golfer here," an Amazon shopper began their review. "This shirt will be my go-to and I plan on buying every color. It's lightweight, super cute, and comfortable."

Everlane The Supima High-neck Riviera Dress

The importance of a comfy midi or maxi dress that doesn’t cling can’t be overstated. I’ve had at least one in my luggage since I became a travel writer, and this High-neck Riviera Dress from Everlane that's made with wrinkle-resistant Supima cotton fits the bill beautifully. It’s the perfect style to pair with Birkenstocks or with your favorite pair of white, all-day walking sneakers. “I am not usually a huge dress girl, but I will definitely be wearing this for spring and upcoming summer months, too," an Everlane shopper raved, adding that they "have already paired it with a jean jacket and black slides." 

Athleta Brooklyn Utility Romper

Another wardrobe essential that I’d never travel without is a romper or jumpsuit, as one-pieces just make an easy no-brainer for getting dressed and looking put together fast. They also cinch my waist and skim my figure in a way that leaves me feeling confident and securely covered to handle whatever's on my itinerary for the day. Athleta’s Brooklyn Utility Romper takes it the extra mile by being wrinkle-free, too. Plus, it has UPF-protective fabric and resists snags and rips. According to one reviewer, it's “lightweight and simple" and you can "dress it up with a jacket or just go sleeveless."

The Best Wrinkle-Free Women’s Clothes for Travel, According to Frequent Fliers

You’ve tried packing cubes and rolling your shirts up Marie Kondo –style and yet, most likely, all your clothes still come out of your suitcase wrinkled when you reach your destination. Or maybe you have an important meeting right after landing , and your once-polished outfit looks rumpled after hours in economy . Like other travel dilemmas — finding a bag that’ll fit under the seat in front of you or trying to sleep on a transcontinental flight — arriving with a suitcase full of wrinkly clothes can be solved. To avoid pricey hotel dry-cleaning services, or risky sessions with your in-room ironing board, we asked nine women in the travel business to recommend the best pieces to wear and pack while you’re away.

Best wrinkle-free pants for travel

For travel pants that are comfortable, stylish and low-maintenance, Jeralyn Gerba, co-founder and editorial director of Fathom , likes easy pieces from Eileen Fisher . “She’s known for researching and developing materials that are responsible, sustainable, and high-performance while also being crazy chic,” says Gerba. “I love her uncrushable Tencel, a tree fiber textile produced with near zero waste — the drawstring pants and blazers look really good after long-haul flights.” The adjustable drawstring allows for in-flight comfort while the textured crepe lends them a sophisticated look.

A similar pair at a lower price point, these slim, drawstring pants are a favorite of Sarah Corsa, a trip designer at Journy . She likes that they’re “lightweight and rarely wrinkle.” Gerba also looks to Athleta for “casual basics with the occasional flair,” and says their athleisure pieces offer “a nice alternative to the straight-up sweats uniform” while traveling.

Outdoor Voices, makers of our favorite “sleek and tailored” sweatpants, are another frequent flier go-to for easy-to-wear pieces that’ll look fresh after a long journey. Journy co-founder Leiti Hsu, calls the RekTrek pants “the ultimate in comfort.” She says they “stay crisp from laundry cycle to laundry cycle” and “look way more pulled-together than yoga pants.”

“I have a few pairs of stretchy but tailored trousers from The Row that are incredibly comfortable and easy to pack,” says Jen Rubio, co-founder and chief-brand officer of Away . They’ll give an outfit more polish than a jogger-type pant while still being wrinkle-resistant and non-constricting on long flights. Rubio says she’ll pair hers with a T-shirt and leather jacket.

Based in San Francisco, the clothing start-up Betabrand sells pieces based on crowd-sourced designs, like these trouser-style pants that come highly recommended by Larissa Hayden, deputy director of events at Atlas Obscura . She likes that they’re crafted “with comfort, durability, and professionalism in mind,” and have all the comfort of stretchy sweats.

Best wrinkle-free leggings for travel

If you’d rather go the leggings route, Melissa Hie of Girl Eat World swears these jeggings “look exactly like jeans but are very stretchy and comfortable like leggings.” She says, “I would just pair this with a comfortable button-up shirt if I need to look somewhat put together straight off the plane.”

For leggings that can be dressed up, Hsu likes this expensive-looking (but actually quite affordable) faux -leather pair. “Tuck them in your carry-on for a sexy go-to that [can go from] day to dinner in any city,” she says. “They’re secretly lined with cozy fleece on the inside; all the better to brave your next winter dining adventure.”

Best wrinkle-free tops for travel

Travelers love Uniqlo’s affordable and durable pieces for comfort and style. Hie says their button-downs are perfect for wearing with leggings to easily look put-together. And while she normally prefers natural fabrics, when it comes to travel she says, “I go with polyester-blend fabrics since they don’t wrinkle as much.” Like polyester, rayon is far more wrinkle-resistant than cotton or linen.

Also polyester, but with a silky feel and sweet ruffle details, this packable top is one of Corsa’s favorites. “It can be worn in basically any climate, for tons of occasions,” she says. “It never wrinkles and still looks new after years.”

Gerba calls Uniqlo’s warming Heattech turtleneck, an essential layering piece for cold-weather travel or even ice-cold planes, “basic, but solid.” In warmer climates, Stephanie Park, co-founder and vice-president of operations at Journy, likes the brand’s AIRism line. “Not only do the breathable base layers release heat and moisture to adapt to different weather conditions, but they also remain remarkably wrinkle-free, even after long flights,” she says.

According to Rubio, Theory’s “crepe knits will never wrinkle, no matter how much of an overpacker you are,” which is good news if you need to look professional right after a red-eye flight.

Best wrinkle-free dresses for travel

Simple, packable slip dresses were called out by several travelers as highly versatile items. Hie opts for colorful ones from Singapore-based, women-founded brand Love, Bonito. “They are made out of a polyester blend and [don’t] t get wrinkled even if they are straight out of the suitcase,” she says. “I love them because they are very basic, which means I can pair them with accessories to dress them up or down.”

Rubio counts her black Nili Lotan slip dress as ones of her perfect travel pieces that’s “practical and comfortable, yet stylish and versatile so that my look can easily transition from day to night.” She’ll wear it with a blazer and loafers on the plane, and switch to boots once she lands. And while it may seem like a fussy pick, Gerba says she frequently packs silk because “it looks good, weighs nothing, and its wrinkles fall out easily.”

For a fraction of the price, Journy trip designer Lauren Witte likes this bright Everlane wrap dress which, she says, is also “made out of wrinkle-resistant fabric,” and can work for both casual and dressier events.

If slip dresses aren’t your style, Hsu says she’s “obsessed with Wolford’s selection of stretchy dresses that roll up almost as tiny as hosiery.” Since it takes up barely any space she says they’re the ideal “just-in-case” dresses to pack if the need to dress up arises, and she calls her simple, black sheath “a lifesaver.”

Best wrinkle-free layers for travel

Like the Eileen Fisher pants recommended by Gerba, this blazer is made of Tencel and can withstand long flights and not-so-tidy packing. Plus, as several of our travel pros noted, blazers play well with basics like lightweight tops and cami dresses, giving you some mix-and-match outfits for your journey without having to overpack.

“A black versatile cashmere wrap is a must-have for my busy travel schedule,” says Elizabeth Fuller, director of marketing and partnerships at Black Tomato . “It doubles as a blanket on a chilly flight and won’t wrinkle if you stow it in your carry on to go through security.” She likes the very elegant. fringed Loro Piano version, but if you’re on a budget, the under-$100 silk-blended wrap from cashmere startup Naadam will also do the trick.

Like Fuller, Hsu thinks quality cashmere is a worthwhile travel investment. “Compared with other fabrics, cashmere doesn’t require washing all that often and is naturally temperature moderating,” she says, making it a natural fit for an on-the-go lifestyle. Her favorites are classic cuts with unique details from brands like Reformation and Rag & Bone .

My Travel Capsule Wardrobe: Best Wrinkle Free Travel Clothes for Women

Last Updated: April 9, 2024

Sharing is Caring!

I have this thing. If I have really nice clothing – like, favourite stylish travel clothes, I tend not to wear them as often as I’d like to. Instead, I still wear wrinkle-free travel clothes – but cheaper, older, less comfortable, or less stylish clothes and I justify keeping my favourites in the (proverbial) closet (which for me is actually my luggage ), so I can save them for a more “special” occasion.

I saw Loretta LaRoche speak at a conference. She grew up being told by her mother that she could only wear her nice underwear on special occasions. Thing is, there was never an occasion special enough to put on these “party pants”. She also poked fun at people who have sitting rooms they never sit in, with nice furniture covered in protective plastic. Her theory was that we could all love life a lot more if we enjoyed the things we have rather than perpetually saving them for another day….a day that may never come.

I’m here to say it’s time to wear our party pants.

I have traveled with two tiny packing cubes of easy care travel clothes from Anatomie Travel Clothing for three weeks, in true capsule wardrobe fashion. It changed the way I will travel (and live!) forever.

And for the fellas: Here’s your own Travel Capsule Wardrobe for Men !

NOTE: This article was originally published in 2016, and gets updated regularly – at least once a year. Some of the styles pictured here have been discontinued; I’ve replaced some with newer shots, but I also wanted to show that I’ve been wearing Anatomie clothes for over a DOZEN years! Even though some styles come and go, the signature materials, design ethics, elevated style, and travel-friendly properties remain constant.

My Journey With Anatomie Travel Clothing

The birth of the Anatomie capsule wardrobe idea

I visited Anatomie Travel Clothing’s headquarters in Miami. I’d been a fan of Anatomie for years already; they sent me my first outfit in 2012 – an outfit that is still going strong, all these years (and abuse) later. (See also: Anatomie – My New Favourite Travel Clothing )

Shawn and Kate (Anatomie’s co-founders) talked about cost-per-wear. While doing some math, I realized that their prices (a stumbling block for me) weren’t as high as I’d initially thought if I worked out how many miles I could get out of them – literally and figuratively. So, I threw out my jeans .

I returned to Anatomie’s headquarters a second time with a furrowed brow. My favourite travel pants – the Kate Skinny Cargo pants, which I got just a couple of years prior – had worn in the strangest of ways. It led to concerns about the quality of their travel clothes on the whole. My original capris were doing great! Why had the Kate pants deteriorated like this in a fraction of the time?

Anatomie was churning out a huge number of new styles at the time, becoming a highly-recognized brand name in the luxury market as the ultimate travel clothes for women. Had they grown too big for their own good?

Luckily, my concerns were assuaged when I received a brand new pair of Kate pants and was assured that any customer with a similar problem would be afforded the same treatment. They said that occasionally material from the end of a roll could do funny things like this, and while they hadn’t seen this particular problem before, they would look out for it in the future.

While Anatomie may be growing exponentially, they still pride themselves on superior service and developing long-term relationships with their customers, as evidenced by the expedient replacement of my defective pants, their personal style concierge service, and more.

Not only did they replace my Kate pants, but they loaded me up with a whole bunch of new styles and Anatomie “ Travel Essential ” pieces. (Travel Essentials are styles they carry year after year because they’re so popular, and customers get angry if Anatomie stops making them.)

With this gift of new clothes, they issued me a challenge: pack and wear only Anatomie clothes for my next trip. So, I did; the next opportunity I had to leave my big suitcase I armed myself for three weeks with two wee packing cubes of Anatomie clothes.

Here’s what I learned about what makes for the best wrinkle free travel clothes for women. (See the end of this post for an exact list of what I traveled with, so you can design your own ideal travel capsule wardrobe).

Before we go any further, I must tell you that I have received a ton of Anatomie clothing for free since the beginning of my partnership. I’ll also add that I’ve bought many styles for myself at retail prices. I put my money where my mouth is, and I endorse Anatomie for having terrific travel clothes for women. As such, if you click on any of the links in this post and buy Anatomie clothes, I will receive a small commission. It doesn’t affect your price, and it helps me keep running The Professional Hobo . I appreciate your support in advance!

Use the discount code NORA20 to get $20 off your order! (Minimum order amount is $120 to qualify. Enjoy free shipping on all domestic orders.

Quality travel clothing will go the distance – literally and figuratively.

My Cargo Capris (since discontinued, though keep an eye on the Anatomie website – they occasionally revive them for a season) are still going strong since getting them in 2012. This is one style that I haven’t saved for special occasions; over the years, I’ve worn these pants more than any other pair of pants I’ve owned. Like, ever. After all these years of abuse, the material is softer and even comfier.

I’ve washed them in dodgy washing machines around the world, and they’ve even seen a few dryers (which you’re not supposed to do, FYI). The only thing I can say is that the material has thinned out a little (but not so much as to be a problem), and has also stretched out a little (due to my own weight gain/loss/gain/loss/etc. over the years).

Regarding fit in general, Anatomie advises that you can expect that the signature stretch wrinkle-free material used for their pants will stretch over time (it’s what makes Anatomie pants a custom fit, as it stretches to hug your curves perfectly). More on this later.

Washing and Drying

If you’re traveling with a limited (capsule) wardrobe, washing and drying must be easy.

Need to dry your pants in a hurry? A simple hairdryer will do the trick in just a few mins! (Almost) everything Anatomie offers is machine washable in cold water.

Machine dryers, in general, are horrible on your clothes (they exponentially accelerate deterioration), nor are they particularly environmentally friendly. Luckily most Anatomie styles dry quickly, usually overnight.

Wrinkle Free Packing

Packing light means not having a lot of space. Irons are not an option.

Are you worried about cramming those expensive duds into a packing cube ? Don’t. Anatomie makes easy care travel clothes, and although some pieces may come out of your luggage looking wrinkled, the wrinkles easily fall out as soon as you put them on. You will love their wrinkle resistant fabrics, life-changing!

Other styles made of crazy comfy jersey and mesh (here are their current lightweight jackets and wide variety of shirts ) are truly wrinkle free in all respects. Scrunch it up in a ball in your bag. I dare ya.

Comfort Vs. Style

There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortable. Except perhaps, being underdressed.

Luckily there’s no compromise! I’m just as comfy in my Luisa skinny jeans  on a plane as I am in a pair of leggings. Except, I’m wearing something considerably more stylish than leggings. 

Even the Andrea Contrast Panel leggings are more-than-leggings.

For me, the perfect travel wardrobe has stylish travel clothes, without being pretentious. Regardless of whether you’re dressed up or down, you’re comfortable. Travel throws you enough curveballs; you’d better be comfy in your second skin.

On the topic of comfort, their Pima Cotton Tank Tops  are made from Pima cotton, from Peru. I was ambivalent when they suggested I try it out ( it’s a plain tank top….kinda boring right? ), but it quickly became my absolute favourite top to wear. It’s suuuuuuuper soft, breathable, won’t shrink, goes with everything, and just like most of Anatomie’s styles, can be machine washed (on cold), and will dry fast.

Staying Warm

Cool/cold weather is the biggest challenge to packing light. The secret is in layering.

Most of Anatomie’s travel clothing styles are very lightweight – which is both a selling point and a challenge. The signature stretch fabric used to make most of their pants is light as a feather, which means it won’t weigh you down as you take off, but if you’re taking off to chilly places, you might be cold.

Over the years, I’ve found ways to circumvent these challenges:

Layer Under. While most of Anatomie’s travel pants are slim-fitting, there’s still room for a pair of leggings underneath for added warmth.

Layer Over. This is where Anatomie’s travel jackets shine. While one of their mesh jackets is ridiculously comfortable over a tank top and takes the edge off a summer night, it’s also warmer than it looks and can be worn over a long-sleeved top (which also shows through the mesh, and looks very nice).

The same goes for the Kenya Safari Jacket , which is hands-down their most popular travel jacket , and for good reason. It’s roomy enough to go over thicker under-layers, yet form-fitting enough to be super stylish and flattering.

If you find yourself in even chillier climes, they have a selection of quilted, cashmere, and even leather styles. I still have a style of an Anatomie travel jacket (which they don’t carry anymore) that is ideal for shoulder season climates.

2024 UPDATE: I spent a whole winter in a snowy mountain town, with the help of Anatomie’s new Cozy Essentials lineup ! Their fleece-lined signature styles (like the Kenya Jacket and Skyler Pants) are literally the comfiest clothes I own – super stretchy and soft. And lucky for me, they’re also the most stylish clothes I own. Best of all worlds!

Free Returns and Clothing Guarantees

Spending a lot of money on the perfect travel capsule wardrobe? Free returns are critical.

I’m still leery of ordering clothes online. Even with sizing charts, you just never know how something will fit.

Anatomie understands this, and orders placed in the U.S. include free returns . And rumour has it they’re going to offer free returns to Canadian customers very soon too!

So if you’re curious about how that shirt or pair of pants will fit, there’s no risk in ordering it and finding out first-hand.

The same goes for clothing defects. While normal wear and tear are on your own dime, if there’s a problem with an Anatomie style, they’ll send you a new pair, as I experienced myself. Anatomie wants you to be 100% happy with your clothes, as they’ve demonstrated to me repeatedly.

Travel Clothing for Women with Curves

Most people aren’t models. So how do we know if those pants will actually fit AND look good?

Over the years, I’ve grown, and not just emotionally! While I’m not disproportionate or overweight, my measurements baffle many sizing charts.

While trying to order pants and a shirt from (another) online clothing company, I couldn’t figure out which sizes to get. According to their sizing charts, I was somewhere between a Small and Medium for the shirt (but my bust measurement said I should be Large – and believe me, my boobs aren’t that spectacular). 

When it came to my lower half, my self-esteem “bottomed” out. While I was accustomed to being a size 6-8, my recent weight gain put me in the (8-10) category. This particular clothing company’s size 12 looked like it would still be too small. And….size 12 was their largest size. Who does that?!?! I have no idea what other curvy women would do if they tried to order anything from this company. (To their credit, my complaints inspired them to change their sizing charts, which is why they shall remain nameless in this post.) I simply share this story here as an example of how screwed up sizing is across the board, especially when it comes to women’s pants.

Shawn (Anatomie’s co-founder and chief designer) stood by while I tried on a huge variety of clothes, and he told me how they’re supposed to fit and made specific sizing recommendations.

Even though I wanted to err on the side of caution with larger sizes, Shawn warned me that most of Anatomie’s pants stretch up to a whole size over time ; and my older Anatomie pants are testament to this. So, if your own Anatomie travel pants are a bit tight to begin with, never fear: their signature stretch fabric is a bit of a miracle-worker and will mold to your curves perfectly with time.

Here are some observations about how Anatomie’s stylish travel clothes are made for curvy women :

• The Suzette Skort  has built-in jersey bicycle shorts. While this does add a bit to the packing weight and bulk, my thighs thanked me; can you say “ no thigh rub?? ” (Not a fan of the short skirt? I get it. Here are their current dresses , which include some super classy styles. I own their Marine Travel Dress , which is super flattering for all figures and made of a material that can literally be balled up and stuffed into a corner of my luggage and come out ready for the runway).
• I asked Shawn which styles of Anatomie’s travel pants are best for the curvy woman; he said the Kate Pant  (which I can attest to). More recently, Anatomie has come out with a whole line of pants for curvy women! You can now shop their entire site by body type , which is very useful. 
• Not all women appreciate tight shirts. While I do recommend having at least one somewhat form-fitting tank top and long-sleeved top for layering underneath jackets and such, I also like having a “let it all hang out” sort of top. Anatomie has a selection of looser-fitting tops that will turn heads; just have a browse through the store to see their latest designs, as their styles are always changing.

Not sure yourself? Here is one of the many bangs you get for your buck with Anatomie, in addition to free returns and quality guarantees: their personal Style Concierge will assist you with personalized fit and styling tips . You’ll find their personal email on the Contact page of the website, and their assistance is very valuable (and of course, free).

Anatomie Wrinkle Resistant Clothing Recommendations

Here is what I packed when I took the challenge to travel with only Anatomie clothing. Note: many of the exact items I took with me have been discontinued. I’ve switched them out here with new items (that I own) which are comparable replacements. Depending on the climate at your destination, you might want to adjust this selection. For example when visiting a hot climate you’ll want to switch out a jacket or long-sleeved shirt for another tank/tee. This travel capsule wardrobe is ideal for warm temperate weather.

Bailey Mesh Jacket (it won’t wrinkle, no matter how hard you try!)

Kenya Safari Jacket (stylish, can be worn with sleeves rolled up or down, zipped up to the neck, etc)

Calista Rollup Henley Top (pima cotton, long-sleeved), AND/OR

Alida button-down Poplin Shirt (I love this dressy shirt because the front panel is a structured material, and the arms and back are soft stretchy jersey)

Jackson Pima Cotton Tank (a staple for any travel wardrobe, perfect on its own and for layering)

Flo Tee (note: here’s their current collection of tops to choose from )

Suzette Skort (with built-in jersey bicycle shorts)

Luisa Skinny Jean OR Kate Skinny Cargo Pant (I own and adore both, but I choose just one per trip)

Darby Pant (new in 2024 to their lineup; a looser-fitting pant made with their signature stretch light material)

BONUS: My Top Packing Tips Video

I know, I know. I must sound like a psychotic cheerleader. I promise, I haven’t been drugged, nor unduly forced to write all these accolades. Anatomie approached to develop a long-term relationship, much like they do with all their customers. (The difference being, they started me off with a free outfit, which inspired my love affair with them. Lucky me!).

And as much as I love Anatomie, they love me too, and they’re fascinated at how I traveled with carry-on luggage only for two whole years! While I was visiting Anatomie’s headquarters this year, they turned on the cameras and got me to share my top packing tips for ultralight travel. Here’s what I had to say:

Noted for my wife Nora. I dig the party pants analogy. Good to know of the wrinkle free aspect too; sometimes we travel outside of the tropics. Humidity in places takes care of wrinkles fast but outside of the tropics you need quality, wrinkle-free clothes. Or an iron and board which ain’t happening around much of the world.

That is, unless you practice “extreme ironing”….in which case…..bring on the ironing board! LOL

This is a great post, with the exception of all the body shaming. What’s up with the “real” woman stuff? Is a model a “fake” woman? You’re a great writer, and I know there’s a better way you can get your point across without making some women feel like they don’t qualify as “real” women.

Hey Beck, Great observation – thank you! While curvy women seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to body image issues and persecution on a variety of levels, you are right in that I haven’t acknowledged skinny women as being “real”. I’ve removed all language that isolates any body type as being “real” or otherwise.

Thank you! It makes a difference 🙂

I’m sorry But HAVING mainly ANOREXIC MODELS EVERYWHERE ADVERTISING LADIES CLOTHING IS NOT REALISTIC AND DOES NOTHING BUT PUT UNREALISTIC IMAGES on how we should LOOK and THAT’S wrong because yes they ARE FAKE THEIR ANOREXIC AIRBRUSHED BLOWN UP/ DEFLATED ETC ( REFERRING TO DIFFERENT AREAS OF BODY) Therefore We have TOO MANY GIRLS GROWING UP WANTING 2 LOOK LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF BEING HAPPY WITH WHO THEY ARE SO THEY WIND UP DEAD!!!!!! FROM STARVATION. DEPRESSION OVERDOSE PREGNANT ALL DUE TO UNREALISTIC TOOTHPICK IMAGE MEDIA PLACES ON HOW FEMALE BODY SHOULD LOOK

AMEN TO ALL LADIES OF ALL SIZES WHO ARE NATURAL WITHOUT ANY COSMETIC SURGERY DONE!!!

I am very happy 2 see women of all sizes are finally being noticed and admired!

Nora, I was ready to like this company you love in spite of the big price tags. Just thought you should be aware how an ordinary customer is treated. I found this in the reviews from the Skyler Skinny Pant. I’m afraid that you get special treatment from the company. If they really backed up their products for defects it might be worth it. But 10% discount is nothing to compensate this woman for a messed up zipper on a very expensive pair of pants.

hannah poor policy I have purchased a pair of Anatomie pants and was very satisfied with the product, until I had the inner seam of the zipper seperate from the fabric so they are no longer wearable. I have worn the pants no more than 10 times, but being outside of the 30 days they would not help me. Since this was obviously a quality issue I feel like this says something about the company as a whole. Anatomie >> replied: Hannah, thank you for contacting us; we apologize for the inconvenience. We looked into the matter and since the pants were purchased about a year ago, and that particular style is no longer in production, we will not be able to issue a replacement. But we would like to offer you 10% off your next purchase for the inconvenience encountered. If you have any other questions, please contact us at [email protected] , we would love to help!

Hi Linda, Oh my! That’s not good. I’ve contacted the team at Anatomie to look into this. I hope there’s another side to this story, because indeed, this contradicts what I understand their customer service policy to be.

I wonder if perhaps she bought the last of a line that was being discontinued and was thus on clearance sale. Anything on super clearance wouldn’t likely be subject to the same return/exchange policy.

Nora, since I wrote the above post, I have given Anatomie a try. Customer service has been wonderful, namely Raquel. It’s very difficult to get the style and size right on first try and she’s shown some flexibility. I tried the popular Skyler pants and am lukewarm about the fit. I’m going to give your Luisa Skinny Jeans a try! (Did you by any chance try the Lora Nylon & Fleece jacket? Seems to be one of their Italian items.)

Anyway, I love your blog! I signed up for your emails and am loving your writing and all the helpful information. I’m simply thrilled!

P.S. We’re going to Cuenca January-February! We’re putting the house on the market and hope to find house-sitting gigs while we are here in the Atlanta area to give us more flexibility. We had part of this plan in process when I landed on your blog. You gave me the extra push I needed to try house-sitting and work-aways. We had already signed up for WorkAway and my nephew uses WWOOF. We’ll probably try both!

Hi Linda, I’m so very glad that you gave Anatomie a shot and that your experience has been positive! I didn’t really like the Skyler pant fit either, so I hope you like the Luisa in contrast (I think you will). I haven’t tried the Lora jacket, but it looks beautiful.

And thank you for reading! Good luck with the sale of the house (and all your stuff in it – ha ha), and I hope you enjoy your time in Cuenca. It’s a gorgeous place.

Happy Travels!

From being stylish to help you get through your daily workouts, leggings have got it all.

Amen to that!

I keep asking for someone to post a blog for clothes for women over 60. Everything I see is for twenty year old. Travelled to over 65 countries. Now in my seventies cannot wear the ridiculous clothes and shoes., no one writes for older women. Pity.

Hi Sue, I’m sorry you feel under-represented and under-served by myself and other sites. I would have thought that at least some of the styles offered by Anatomie are ageless. Many are conservative, and most are classy – especially the jackets and tops.

It seems you are raving about quite a few garments no longer made. Perhaps you should update and let us know how the replacement garments actually pack and hold up.

Lastly, cost-per-wear is simply semantics for overcharging. Much can be done with less expensive clothing. You just gotta throw on a pashmina or a bright scarf over inexpensive tops and slacks/skirts.

This is not to say expensive travel clothing doesn’t have its place. I definitely have some expensive regular clothing, since I show dogs. (Take a look at the womens’ suits worn on the Westminster telecast, including St. John’s.) But I’m buying less expensive travel clothing so I may spend my money in Florence. 😎

Hi Jennifer, I think the very fact that I’m still wearing styles I got 10 years ago (that have since been discontinued) it testament to how long Anatomie clothing lasts! I haven’t had to replace them. New designs by Anatomie (and they’re constantly updating their lineup as many fashion brands do) continue to use their signature stretch material and other travel-friendly materials. So it’s safe to assume their new styles pack and hold up just as well as all the garments I’ve gotten over the last 10 years.

As for cost-per-wear and choice of travel clothing, all that boils down to your budget and your priorities. Spending less money on clothes so you can spend more money in Florence is a perfectly justifiable decision!

As a former national sewing instructor and alterations expert, I have to respectfully disagree. Cost-per-wear is a valid calulation, but one easily forgotten in these days of disposable clothing. (I’m not talking about overpaying for a logo, but buying true quality.) Compare a dense wool winter coat or jacket with proper interfacing, interlining, thermal lining, appropriate stitching with durable high-quality thread and natural horn buttons V. a trendy coat from a big box or mall store made from a cheap blend that beads up, little if any interfacing, thin rayon lining, long stitches of flimsy poly thread and plastic buttons that doesn’t combat the cold or breathe like a natural fiber. Real quality means buy it once, take care of it, wear it for years. Or… buy cheap where only pennies of the price are spent on overseas labor and oil-based, polluting materials while the rest is spent on polluting transportation and trendy marketing, just to result in pilling within a wash or two, and sweat and stink that clings to the cheap fabric, then toss it in a landfill where it sits unchanged for generations or crate it on a pallet and ship it yet again to a poor country where starving children pick for rags. A quick google will provide a thorough and absolutely shocking education on how cheap fashion has degraded people, industry and our environment — all for a $10 pair of sweat pants that won’t last a season. If people focused their closets (and suitcases) on a classic, high-quality, long-lasting classic capsule wardrobe and supplemented with very few, cheap trendy pieces, they’d be much more comfortable, cause a lot less damage… and spend a LOT less in the long run. So the next time you compare prices, think about what went into producing the garment, the quality of the materials and construction, how long it will last, how it will hold up over time – and do that cost per wear.

Very well said and something not enough people think about. Unfortunately people on a low income (such as myself) can’t often afford to spend a lot on clothes. I am a larger women, so my choices of where to shop are limited. I wear my clothes until they wear out and hardly ever buy new clothes. I don’t have the money and find it hard to find something that suits.

This was amazing. I always seem to have the most trouble with my clothes wrinkling. I am very excited to try out your advice and see how they stand up against my clothes.

So thank you for this 🙂

– Sara

Time to remove or update this post. Cannot count how many times you said an item was discontinued and I wasted time trying to find the meat of this article.

Thanks for the feedback, Laura. I update this post regularly (which is why I discuss how items have been discontinued – that’s an update!) to show that I have owned and continue to own pieces over the long term – and how long they last, and what the various styles look like. If you click through to Anatomie, you’ll see they offer a ton of new styles, but overall their look is consistent. Also, I just checked all the links I provided – they are up to date!

Ever realize while packing for a trip that you’re only grabbing the clothes that you know won’t be a wrinkled mess when you unpack your suitcase? Even if the hotel room has an iron, it’s time to start packing more wrinkle free travel clothes—because no one wants to spend vacation time ironing.

Wrinkle Free Travel Clothes Perfect for Travel

When it comes to wrinkle-free travel clothes, there are a lot more options out there than you might think. Clothes billed as wrinkle-free are a good start, but there are also a lot of less-obvious items that won’t wrinkle simply because they’re made from high-performance fabrics. From casualwear to business-appropriate button downs, these are the wrinkle free travel clothes you need in your suitcase.

Cotidie Harper Shirtdress

Made out of Cotidie’s unique LunAir fabric, the Harper Shirtdress repels wrinkles while being incredibly comfortable. The lightweight material is breathable, stretchy, and machine-washable, making it the perfect dress to throw in your suitcase.

Everlane Heavyweight Tee

Love wearing soft cotton but hate how easily it wrinkles? Look for heavier weight cotton fabrics, which are less likely to crease and still perfect for sensitive skin. Everlane’s Heavyweight Tee is made of two-ply cotton that fits the bill and still breathes.

Bluffworks Gramercy Blazer

As a men’s clothing brand that’s big on wrinkle-free travel clothes, Bluffworks offers truly wrinkle-free workwear that includes the Gramercy Blazer . It’s available in both classic and slim fits so you can customize to your fit. It’s also quick-drying,  lightweight, and has 10 pockets perfect for storing necessities—which might make you wonder why you’ve wasted more money on any other traditional work blazers.

Orvis’ Wrinkle-Free Cotton Button Downs

Didn’t think there was such a thing as a no-iron cotton dress shirt? Orvis’ Wrinkle Free Cotton Twill Shirt for men will prove you wrong by staying crisp throughout the longest business flights. It’s 100 percent cotton with a soil-release finish, has a chest pocket perfect for travel, and comes in tall sizes for men who need some extra length in both the body and sleeves. Orvis also offers women’s versions like the Wrinkle-Free Traditional Plaid Tunic .

J.Crew Factory Gigi Pants

Stretchy leggings can look office appropriate, include pockets, and be wrinkle free thanks to J.Crew Factory’s Gigi pants , a raved-about style from the brand’s more-affordable outlet stores. The synthetic nylon and spandex won’t fade in color as fast as rigid fabrics like cotton. It also makes them comfy and fast-drying.

Leota Dresses

Need a fancier-yet-cozy travel dress? Forget steaming it in the vacation rental’s bathroom while you shower, or using the hotel room iron. Leota travel dresses come in dozens of patterns and styles (including plus sizes) and are made from synthetic fabrics like spandex, which means they won’t wrinkle even if you toss them unfolded into your suitcase.

Prana Brion Pant

Another fabric-conscious retailer offering wrinkle-free travel clothing, Prana uses Stretch Zion material, which is coated with a quick-drying layer that also makes it wrinkle less. Still stretchy enough to be comfortable on the plane, the Prana Brion Pant comes in a sleek slim fit with added UPF 50 sun protection, and the water repellent finish will also save you from spills.

Best Travel Clothes for Men

Best Travel Clothing Brands

Just because a brand is known to make travel clothing doesn’t mean it makes great travel clothing or that their entire line is good. We’ve had pants we love from one company, but end up hating their shirts. These are the brands we’ve found that have the most reliably good clothing.

With some, like Bluffworks , you can have total piece of mind that the clothes will always be top of the line in quality and value.

Wrinkle-Free Men’s Travel Polo Shirts

Mott & bow sueded polo.

This Mott & Bow polo pairs easily with just about any pants. One of the best features of this shirt is how incredibly soft it is. It’s a Jersey suede material that’s 100% cotton fabric but is brushed to give a soft, premium feel.

I’m pretty particular about my polos and this one really fits the bill. It’s flexible around the shoulders so you can stretch and not have the shirt bunch up. It has a slight curved hem along the bottom so less stomach shows when you lift your arms.

I have three pairs of Mott & Bow jeans that I pair this with. It comes in four colors – white, navy, black, and dark grey. Between the jeans and these polos, I have everything I need to pack for a 5-7 day trip.

Bluffworks Knit Polo

I’ve always loved Bluffworks clothing, as you can probably tell from all the options we’ve shared on our site. This polo shirt is one of their best.

It’s machine washable and fast drying, so you can wash it easily on the go. It’s pretty wrinkle resistant so you don’t have to worry about ironing.

The material is breathable and odor resistant, plus moisture wicking, and it has a UPF 50+ sun protection.

As with all Bluffworks clothes, there are 2 pockets, including a hidden side zipper pocket. It comes in 4 colors, slim or classic fit, so you can find the one that’s right for you. Pair it with Bluffworks jeans for the perfect look.

The Perfect Jean Crew-Neck

They took the same superior standard of stretch, hand-feel, and comfort we love in the Perfect Jean and made the perfect crew neck t-shirt.

It’s made with organic cotton, in a high-quality 180 GSM fabric with a 5% stretch spandex.

They have a deal where you can buy 3 or 5 shirts for a discount, which is a great way to fill out your travel wardrobe quickly.

Aviator Air-Dry Merino Wool Polo

Aviator is one of my favorite travel clothing brands. They really care about the fabric and the feel of the clothing during wear.

Their Merino Wool Air Dry Polo shirt is moisture wicking, wrinkle resisting, breathable, and antimicrobial, which makes it a perfect travel shirt that you don’t have to worry about when on the road.

Aviator sources their wool from New Zealand because of their strict laws protecting their sheep.

This polo looks really good on and can be dressed up or down so you don’t have to pack so many things. It pairs very well with Aviator’s travel jeans . See our full review of their jeans.

Unbound Merino Polo (Merino Wool)

Another great Merino wool polo to try is this one from Unbound Merino. The wool is naturally anti-microbial and wicks away moisture and odors, so it’s a great option for traveling.

This polo is one of the most lightweight that I’ve tried. I was worried it might be a little see-through (I have the Dove Grey color), but once it’s on you can’t tell. It’s actually a plus because it’s very airy.

You definitely don’t have to wash this polo every wear. It doesn’t wrinkle easily either.

It comes in 5 colors, and it’s a more fitted shirt, so order a size up if you don’t like a form fitting shirt.

SCOTTeVEST Bamboo Polo

This is a bamboo fabric polo shirt that’s great for travel. It’s made with 65% Bamboo, 30% Cotton, and 5% Spandex. If you haven’t worn bamboo before, you’ll be surprised by how soft and comfortable it is.

This shirt is even more versatile because it has 3 hidden pockets: an inner breast pocket, a zippered side pocket, and a slip pocket near the buttons. It comes in 7 different colors and a range of sizes to fit all.

SCOTTeVEST is known for their utility shirts and vest, so be sure to check out their range of vests , jackets , and hoodies . They’re great for everyday travel.

Men’s Wrinkle Resistant T-Shirts

Bluffworks performance t-shirt.

If you don’t already have a Bluffworks travel capsule wardrobe, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. They’ve just added a performance t-shirt to the collection, and it’s exactly the type of t-shirt you want for travel.

It’s moisture-wicking, quick-dry, and has odor-resistant technology so you can wear it with confidence, no matter what you’re doing.

My favorite thing about it is how soft and moveable it is. The material is a 66% Polyester, 29% Lyocell, and 5% Elastane blend that gives it it’s super powers.

It also offers UPF 50+ sun protection. It comes in 5 colors, both crew neck and V-neck.

Mott & Bow Tee

Not everyone likes a tight necked t-shirt, so I like that Mott & Bow has three different styles – a crew neck, curved, and v-neck, so you can choose what you like.

You’re going to like these so much that you’ll also be glad they have the option to buy in a 1, 3 or 6-pack. They come in 6 different colors, so why not go for the 6 pack and make it easy.

I’ve never had a t-shirt that’s as soft as these. It’s a unique material – truly buttery soft – made of Peruvian combed cotton.

It comes pre-washed, so it won’t shrink. I can’t say enough good things about this t-shirt. Seriously. It’s that good.

Bluffworks Wrinkle-Free Dress Shirt

Like the rest of the Bluffworks clothing line , the dress shirt is wrinkle-free, machine-washable and well-designed. Not only is it wrinkle-free, it’s also breathable, so I don’t end up sweating as much. Let’s face it, one of the worst part of wearing dress shirts is that they’re stuffy and restricting. When your shirt starts showing pit sweat, you’ve lost the battle.

This shirt isn’t cotton, though. It’s made with a 98% technical, breathable quick-dry polyester. That means it’s more like a sports shirt than a dress shirt. The classic fit shirt looks good on and provides a good range of motion. They have a tailored fit too.

The pattern and colors of the shirt match both the Bluehour Classic Fit blazer and the charcoal Chino pants , that I have. Even though they’re all different colors, they look nice together.  I thought the shirt might be a bit much for my casual office, but it wasn’t.

Whenever it’s too warm out for long sleeves, I just rolled up the sleeves. When I rolled the sleeves down later on, they aren’t crumpled from having been rolled up for so long.

Mens Travel Pant

Mott & bow men’s slim jeans.

When I received these jeans and tried them on for the first time, I was pretty surprised that they all fit as expected. My order included three pairs – the slim fit Mercer , slim fit Watt, and straight fit Wooster. All three pairs fit great.

These really have become my go-to jeans or most occasions. I like that the fit falls somewhere between a straight and a “skinny” jean. They are sleek looking, lengthening, and slimming. All good things to have in jeans.

Plus, they have a bit of stretch to them. I’m not sure why all men’s jeans don’t include stretch. It’s a revelation. They are just easier to move around in, and way more comfortable for long hours of wear, like when you’re on a plane or at your desk.

There are tons of choices with these jeans – you can get slim, straight and skinny in a number of different fits, like the Wooster, Watt, Mercer, Crosby, Warren, and Stone. There are only subtle difference between these, and of course they come in all different colors, like medium blue, light grey, dark blue, light khaki, and black (to name just a few.

These are probably the best pair of jeans I’ve had in years. They have a ton of stretch to them, so they fit like a glove, but in only the good ways. They aren’t too baggy or too tight, with just the right amount of stretch and flexibility to be comfortable and stylish at the same time.

This company, The Perfect Jean, is totally down to earth and unpretentious. I don’t know why, but that makes me like them even more. Online shopping isn’t all that fun, but when you can get a laugh from the website copy, it’s worth it.

Their sales campaign is “the perfect jean for the perfect and imperfect man.” I think that’s very fitting because these jeans are meant to be flexible so anyone can feel comfortable in them. I prefer the slim fit that sits low on the waist, and is slightly fitted through the hip.

Like most premium jeans, they do stretch about 1/2 a size as you wear them. I’ll admit I only wash my jeans once a week. By the end of the week, they need to be washed back into submission. Washing is easy. If you’re like me, I just throw them in the wash with everything else. No issues so far.

Aviator Jeans

(“The best travel jeans in the world” – USAToday)

These are probably the best pair of travel jeans I’ve had in years. They fit very well – being neither too baggy nor too tight, with just the right amount of stretch and flexibility to be comfortable and stylish at the same time. 

They are made to be lightweight, breathable and fast drying. In summer weather, I rarely ever wears jeans because they are too hot and constricting, but I doesn’t mind wearing these Aviator jeans, because of their breath-ability. There are two pockets that are zipper protected and hidden away inside other pockets.

You can easily store your valuables in these pockets. One of them is even large enough for your passport. The front and back pockets of the jeans both are large enough to fit a Kindle.

One of the worries I have about jeans is that they’ll stretch out of shape and start to fit awkwardly while traveling. But I find that the material recovers well and doesn’t stretch out too much. Aviator jeans come in a straight and original fit and eight colors: Dark Indigo, Medium Indigo, Faded Indigo, Jet-Setter Black, Khaki, Camo, Navy, and Steel.

They are made in a family-run factory in Los Angeles. If you order the wrong size, it’s not a problem. You can return them for a new size. Worldwide shipping is available.

Bluffworks Men’s Travel Pants

Bluffworks Chino pants are made from a quick-dry polyester that looks and feels like cotton, but has a bit of stretch and is wrinkle resistant. These are just the kind of pants I need for travel. I can fold them up in my suitcase (they’re really lightweight!), then pull them out and wear them immediately without worrying about wrinkles.

They are comfortable , flexible and, most importantly, breathable . Another feature of the Bluffworks pants that I really like is the abundant pockets . The front pockets appear to be normal-sized pockets, but there is a hidden interior, zippered pocket where you can stash important things.

My entire wallet fits inside that zippered pocket, eliminating the fear of losing it to pick-pockets. There’s also a hidden loop on the inside of the front pocket where you can clip a badge or keys. The back pocket is deep and wide enough to fit a Kindle.

• Uncompromising comfort and style
• Quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant
• 100% technical, breathable polyester
• Zippered security pocket, hidden pocket, and security loop
• Handcrafted in the U.S. (can be shipped worldwide)

Elevated Everyday Jogger – SCOTTeVEST

These are my go-to fall and winter joggers. They have a nice heavy weight to them, so they offer more protection from the wind and chill. Maybe not ideal for summer because of the weight, unless you’re in a cooler environment.

One thing they do really well is pockets. These joggers have 10 perfectly placed and purposeful pockets, including hidden and zippered pockets. I really like the look of them – they are elevated after all – so they don’t look too casual.

Breeze Pants – Free Fly Apparel

I call these my comfy pants. They are absolutely perfect for long plane rides, a day out on the boat, or long road trips. They lightweight material is very breathable and they are UPF 50+ to provide a defense against the sun, if you’re out there all day. I like the casual style and how stretchy they are.

They have two seam pockets and one secure back zippered pocket. They come in 7 neutral colors, up to a size 3XL. For the Black, Blue Fog, & Cement colors, Free Fly suggests sizing up. I have the Storm Cloud color and my usual Medium fits perfect.

Men’s Shorts

Bluffworks casual shorts for men.

If you’re looking for a great pair of travel shorts, these are great. As with all Bluffworks, there are plenty of pockets to keep all your items tucked away safely. The material is a breathable, technical fabric that washes well and doesn’t wrinkle. They stay fresh pretty long. I find them to be just the right length, and have a good stretch to them, without losing their shape.

Aviator’s Non Stop Travel Short 3.0

Another great pair of shorts that I wear all the time is the Aviator Non-Stop Travel Shorts 3.0. For me, they are the perfect length, well tailored, and they are very lightweight.

I’ve been wearing these Aviator shorts for a while, through all of the iterations, and I have to say that the 3.0 style is the best yet. They have an added front right hidden zipper pocket, which is great. They are packed with features and made from an upgraded premium fabric that’s more durable, breathable and comfortable.

Mens Travel Blazers, Vest and Jackets

Bluffworks men’s travel blazer.

There are times when you need a blazer or jacket when you’re traveling, but packing an expensive wool blazer in a garment bag or carrying it over your arm for a long flight isn’t practical. That’s where the  Bluffworks blazer  comes in.

I found this fantastic blazer right about the time I was becoming fed up with having to pack a blazer that would inevitably be wrinkled upon arrival. Instead of resigning myself to this fact, I gave the Bluffworks blazer a try.

It was well worth it. Despite folding the blazer and packing it down in a packing cube with the rest of my clothes, it came out looking almost completely wrinkle free. I’ve even thrown the blazer in the washer and had it come out wrinkle free.

The Bluffworks blazer is not wool. It’s a quick-dry polyester fabric with a perforated back lining that’s made to be light and breathable. Plus, the sleeves aren’t lined, which also adds to the lightness of the fabric. The material is really smooth, soft to the touch, and nicely mimics the look of wool.

Inside the blazer you’ll find 10 pockets. Some of them are so well hidden that I almost couldn’t find them. It’s great for storing away important things that have no chance of being pick-pocketed.

The Bluffworks blazer currently comes in three different colors.

Bluffworks Como Quarter Zip Pullover

For those times of year when it’s just not cold enough for a coat, Bluffworks has a great pullover with a zip top. The pullover is lightweight and easy to match with all the other pieces in the Bluffworks’ clothing line.

As with all Bluffworks travel clothing, the pullover is machine washable. It’s breathable and wrinkle-resistant, made with an amazingly soft heathered wool blend that resists pilling.

Another regular feature on Bluffworks clothing is the pockets. This pullover has 2 discreet zippered pockets, one at each side seam.

It has a nice fitted design that I think looks great with whatever I’m wearing. There are three colors currently available: oak, heather grey, and blue. The blue one is perfect for mix and matching with other Bluffworks clothing. It even goes well over their dress shirts for your commute to work.

Other Clothing Items We Love

Arc’teryx atom hoodie.

The Arc’teryx Atom Hoodie is one of the best lightweight travel jackets I’ve owned. It really lives up to its name in that it’s super light and can easily be stuffed into a backpack while traveling.

Just because it’s light doesn’t mean it’s not warm. It has a thin layer of internal insulation, topped with a super soft outer layer that is water resistant and protects against wind.

The hood is treated with a water repellent and it’s insulated, so you can trust it will hold up in all conditions. Really, it’s perfect for mild conditions where you just need a light layer to keep warm, but you don’t want to carry around a bulky fleece or jacket.

How to Choose the Best Travel Clothes for Men

As mentioned, we’ve tested quite a few different brands looking for the best travel clothing for men and, in the end, the decision comes down to just five things:

This category includes things like the feel of the fabric (scratchy and irritating is a no go), breath-ability, moisture-wicking, flexibility and fabric weight.

You don’t want to end up with a travel wardrobe that looks like you pulled a bunch of stuff out of your dad’s closet. Travel clothing doesn’t have to be that way. Steer clear of the convertible pants and you’ll be fine!

When you’re out traveling, there are all kinds of activities you’ll put these clothes through – they have to hold up to rock climbing, hiking, bungee jumping, etc. 

Convenience

They have to be wrinkle-proof, quick drying, and have enough pockets to hold everything – oh, and the pockets have to be deep enough that your cell phone and wallet don’t fall out when you sit down – preferably with zippers.

The clothing you take on vacation needs to be lightweight and easy to mix and match, so you can get the most out of your luggage space.

We love these versatile and stylish travel clothes to form a wardrobe that can go anywhere with you.

Quick. Check these necessities off your prep list!

The quince pants are amazing! I got a few after seeing this post. Quince has a lot of great travel essentials like tops & jackets…really awesome staple pieces

I love the Athleta cargo pants! The zippers add a nice touch and make them fun to wear. Very versatile and comfortable. Great for travel.

Some good leads on my quest for the ideal travel pants 👖 😊

Ripely Rader pants are my go to when I need a wrinkle free pant that is great for travel and also can be dressed up. They are stretchy but very fashionable. They look great with runners or sandals. The wide leg is chic and they are super long which for this 5’11” girl is important but they are easy to cut or tailor down if needed.

I’m 6’0 so I’m always looking for great pants. I’ll look these up!

Athleta Brooklyn pants get my vote. Stylish and comfortable. After a long day of travel , they still look great.

I agree. I have been wearing them all day today n the heat of Lisbon and they look like I just put them on. They also take up very little room in the suitcase.

I purchased the Jjill pants and love them.

I am open to minimalist packing but my biggest worry is pants, being able to go from lots of walking to a night out on the town, with less wrinkles as possible. Especially if they are to be reworn before being able to rewash. I am excited about these options !

A very complete list. I have the lululemon and several Athleta pants. All work wonderfully for travel. Also 7 diamonds are also great

OMG! As one who wears pants 99% of my life, and more specifically black pants, I loved learning about the wrinkle free pants! I am excited to purchase the Betabrand Wrinkle Free Dress Pants and the Athleta Brooklyn Lightweight Wrinkle-Free Pants. My travel wardrobe just changed and your articles are always informative and l learn something new! Thank you! Dr. DJ

Thank you for putting together such a great list of different cuts of travel pants!

This gives me so many ideas for shopping when I get to SoCal. I should then have the perfect travel pants for the trip home!

This is excellent advice! I have a few of your suggestions (Eddie Bauer Departure and Brooklyn Athleta pants), but will explore the other options.

Thank you for all of the suggestions! These are a travel game-changer!

It’s great to know that there are so many choices! I plan to purchase the Eddie Bauer pants for an upcoming trip to Europe.

Fantastic article with great ideas! Thank you TFG!!

I have both the departures and the brooklyns and they are so comfy! Thanks for the recommendation!

Great article

The Eddie Bauer pants are my favorite. I have at least 1 pair in every color

I’m all about the Eddie Bauer pants! They’re compact and wrinkle-free, two things that are a necessity on longer trips.

Loved traveling in my new Quince ponte pants-the weight of the pants was a little heavier but they looked amazing and didn’t lose shape.

Love these suggestions! Target sometimes also has wrinkle-free pants in their All In Motion line. I’m also interested to check out the Uniqlo ones.

As we mentioned earlier, lightweight wrinkle-free travel clothes are available in a variety of options. They come in different styles, sizes, and material types. Your job is to choose which ones will work great during your trip and get them in your trunk. While some of you may be interested in how to pack wrinkle-free clothes, let’s talk about that a bit later.

So, to help you choose the right product, we’ve researched and investigated on a small scale. As a result, we conclude that there are at least three crucial factors that you need to pay attention to when looking for the best wrinkle-free clothes for travel. Without much further ado, let’s get started!

First of all, you need to know that lightweight wrinkle-free travel clothes are made using different types of fabric. Merino wool is the best possible option, as they’re breathable, has decent insulation, and is great at warding off odors. Next, we have polyester, a magic fiber with incredible wrinkle-resistant capabilities. Apart from these two, there are nylon and denim. While they do look great on your body, these fabrics aren’t 100 percent crease-free.

And speaking of fabric, you might need something special to deal with more demanding conditions. In the case of a ski trip, you can check out our list of the best men’s waterproof ski jackets . These beautiful waterproof jackets are a reliable option that can help you stay toasty and mobile at the same time.

Those who travel a lot will agree that luggage space is precious. You need to make sure that you’re only going to pack essential things. As for the best wrinkle-free clothes for travel, it’s highly recommended to forget about bright colors. Go with neutral tones, especially for bottoms. We’re talking brown, black, or khaki here. They’re known to blend well with almost anything, so you can pack more efficiently.

Another thing to pay attention to when you learn how to pack wrinkle-free clothes is the pockets. See if the outfit you bring has enough of it. This will come in handy, especially when you can only pack a couple of garments. As an illustration, shirt pockets would be great for tickets and other smaller items. Meanwhile, trouser pockets can be used as temporary storage for passports and small cash.

Which Cloth Does Not Need Ironing?

Fabrics such as nylon, polyester, and Lycra are some that don’t require ironing. As for your information, they’re all man-made materials. But over time, there are some blends that get wrinkle-free treatment, such as cotton/poly and cotton/lycra.

Is It Better to Fold or Roll Clothes?

Folding is better because rolling the clothes will make them wrinkle more easily. Especially if you plan to pack cotton or linen clothes. Whenever possible, fold them according to the existing creases.

And if you really want all of your clothes to be crease-free, you can check out our list of the best travel steamers for clothes . Avoid showing up with wrinkles at dinner, just hours after landing. Let these amazing tools save your day!

How Do I Choose Fabric for Clothes?

First of all, make sure about the characteristics of the fabric. It’s highly recommended to check the GSM index (grams per square meter). This way, you’ll know how heavy or light the fabric is. Next, see how much they’ll stretch. And last but not least, check the drapes to see how they flow.

Best Wrinkle-Free Clothes For Traveling

There is nothing more annoying than planning out your travel clothes, thinking about the most comparable and stylish combinations, packing your bags, and heading off on your way, only to find that upon arrival, you notice it looks like someone has taken your clothes and screwed them up into a ball.

Indeed you’ve been in this position before? With or without packing cubes (I ALWAYS use them), I have been in this position too many times, so now I always look into buying wrinkle-free clothing for my travels instead!

As the name on the tin suggests, wrinkle-free clothing means that your travel clothes remain free of wrinkles and creases during, or at least they unwrinkle on their own.

As a result, you’re less distracted with your appearance on the go, you feel more comfortable, and perhaps you can even wear them again, e.g., a cardigan, etc., without panicking about stretching or wrinkles.

I recently partnered with Amazon and have been testing a whole bunch of Amazon-branded clothes to see what wrinkles the least, or as I said, unwrinkles without using an iron!

So here goes, here are the best Amazon wrinkle-free clothes for travel.

Skip Ahead To My Advice Here!

Amazon Brand – Find. Women’s Floral Ruffle Top

Ruffles are ideal for travel because they hide the fact that your clothes might be a little crushed from a long-haul flight or from being jammed in an overpacked suitcase while still looking on-trend and comfortable at the same time.

This particular top I am wearing above is perfect for travel , as it has a loose-fitting yet stylish design, with long sleeves and a round neck. It’s great for cooler weather.

Since adding this to my collection of no-wrinkle travel clothes, I’ve worn it dozens of times.

I have worn this shirt speaking at an event, or out to dinner, and I have even worn it paired with a pair of sneakers and jeans for a day sightseeing! It is super versatile – and it is 100% wrinkle-free.

Amazon Brand – Find. No Wrinkle Women’s Trouser

These wrinkle-free pants for travel are the ideal choice for women who want a comfortable pair of no-wrinkle trousers.

Made of a viscose, polyester, and elastane blend, these are very stretchy. The slight stretch in these trousers makes them far more comfortable than they look, I promise! Trust me, they hold in backside very well.

With button and zip close, the slim design is super fashionable, and the highrise is flattering on your belly. You can machine wash these crease-free pants on a cold wash without worrying about shrinking or losing their shape. 

Amazon Brand – Find. Women’s Wrinkle Free Knit Cape

I love this knit cape; it is cozy yet extremely fashionable. I have worn mine a lot this past fall and winter, and it’s one of my favorite non iron travel clothes!

This cape is ideal for cooler weather and looks fantastic with jeans or leggings. Perfect for dressing up during the evening, heading out for sightseeing days, or being cozy when traveling on a plane! The cape is made of spezzia knit wool and is 100% acrylic. 

The cape also can be folded into an excellent travel pillow!

You don’t have to worry about keeping the cape clean as throwing it in the washing machine is possible.

The loose-fitting design and mid-length sleeves are super flattering, regardless of your body type. Of course, the knitted design also means it’s not going to crease, no matter how crammed your suitcase is .

Amazon Brand – Find. Women’s V Neck Floral Top

This super stylish and extremely comfortable top can be worn for travel, nights out, and days out sightseeing.

I wore this for my birthday lunch (hence the champagne glass). With a slightly loose fit, the top has long sleeves with an elastic cuff and a V neck. The floral design is bang on trend, and you can easily transition from day to night with just one outfit.

The perfect piece of versatile, lightweight wrinkle-free travel clothing, if you ask me!

Find Women’s Wrinkle-Free Bomber Jacket 

The great thing about this particular jacket is that it could easily be worn as a longline jersey top, too; you need to zip it up. The coat is long sleeves and long line, too, with a round collar and a padded jersey fabric. The weave pattern is raised and embroidered, which helps it stay crease-free in your suitcase – or on the plane .

Choose between khaki green, white or black. The jacket also has two zipped pockets, one on either side, and the zip is heavy-duty, so this jacket is going to keep you warm and secure during your activities out and about. 

Brands We Use And Trust

Amazon brand – find. women’s floral wrap mini dress.

A short wrap dress is perfect for travel on a plane – as it is loose – yet tailored for extra comfort. Extremely in fashion at the moment, this dress could easily be worn for nights out as much as travel days , made of polyester, and features a deep V and long sleeves for comfort. The dress is also comfortable for all body types, with the wrap tie adjusting quickly.

This is very short on me, so I have to wear 300 denier tights underneath (I am 168 cm tall), so keep that in mind.

Find Women’s Pointed Collar Shirt No Wrinkle

Who doesn’t love a checked shirt? This particular option is ideal for day or night, and it’s a material that isn’t going to crease in your case and never needs ironing even after pulling it out of your suitcase.

You can choose between a white canvas with a black stripe or go for the opposite with a black canvas. 

This shirt has a fashionable pointed collar and is a button-up, so you can wear it with something underneath if you want to add layers. Made from 100% polyester, the material is crease-free and easy to wash, and durable. The long sleeves will also keep you warm during the cooler weather but can be rolled up if you feel a little warm. 

MERAKI Women’s Crepe Midi Wrap Dress

This crepe midi wrap dress is ideal for ladies who want to be super-fashionable while on the go. The polyester and elastane mix means it’s not going to end up creased in your case, meaning you can grab it and wear it whenever you please.

It’s also easy to dress up or dress down; you can opt for boost or heels for the evening or throw on a pair of canvas shoes or sneakers for the daytime.

You can choose between black or a navy shade, and it has a bleed middle section in a slim-fit design and long sleeves. This is a super-flattering dress and one which will take you through countless on-the-road occasions!

Mine is black and looks great with boots and tights at night or with sneakers for the day.

So, if you’re looking for women’s no wrinkle travel clothing that’s stylish and fancy, you should definitely check this one out.

The fashionable trousers are available in eight colors, all neutral, so they go with most colors and patterns.

Wrinkle-Free Fabrics To Look For

The best wrinkle-free fabrics to look out for when deciding on your travel outfit are:

Cotton might be cool and breathable while traveling , but it’s also the material that is most likely to wrinkle and make you look a hot mess. For that reason, stick to the options above for a wrinkle-free travel day !

How To Pack Clothes To Help Avoid Wrinkles

Of course, it’s not just your travel day outfit that you want to remain free of creases and wrinkles, but the outfits in your case too. It’s no fun when you spend time planning what to take, pack them and then arrive at your destination with your wardrobe looking like it all needs ironing again. Nobody has got time for that!

So, how can you pack your clothes in a way which aims to reduce or even avoid wrinkles and creases?

The first idea would be to pack clothes that aren’t going to wrinkle in the first place, so the fabrics we’ve just mentioned are ideal. Other than that, you have the following options:

Roll Your Clothes

Rolling takes up less space, so you can actually fit more in your case, but it also helps avoid creases. If you do want to take items made of cotton, rolling will help to reduce wrinkles.

Overlap Delicate Items

Folding materials that are classed as delicate, including pants, will increase the chances of wrinkles. However, if you overlap them/layer them in your case, you’ll notice less in the way of wrinkles when you arrive at your destination.

Use Plastic Garment Bags

Plastic reduces the amount of friction that the material is subjected to while the case is moving around, so if you have items that are pretty smart, e.g., a dress or pants, or you have items that are quite prone to wrinkling, then pack them in an individual plastic garment bag to help cut down on creases.

Best Wrinkle-Free Travel Clothes for Your Next Cruise

Raise your hand if you're tired of having to iron your clothes on vacation. Cruising is supposed to be worry-free -- and that includes the moment you unpack. Whether you're a folder or a roller, rest assured these five clothing items will be ready to wear, as soon as they come out of your suitcase.

On This Page

Lucille cardigan, v-neck dress, sleeveless blouse, chino pants, button-down shirt.

Layers are key, when it comes to packing for a cruise. So why not invest in a high-quality cardigan that's versatile and stays wrinkle-free? This stylish cover-up by SCOTTeVEST can be worn casually, or over your dinner dress if you start to get chilly. The lightweight fabric has been specifically engineered to stay wrinkle-free, negating the need for an iron. We also love all the pockets, including two that have zippers -- perfect for your hiding your phone or lipstick, if you want to stay hands-free.

Travel clothing company, TravelSmith, specializes in creating high-quality threads that are easy to pack. One of those packing perks is that items such as this V-neck wrap dress stay free of wrinkles; it's ready to wear as soon as you unpack it. What's even more flattering than a wrinkle-free dress is the slimming front-wrap detail and sexy yet classy v-neckline. All you need is the perfect pair of comfy heels.

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but we think this blouse is the best friend you never knew you needed. Made of a cotton performance fabric, the "Taylor" by Foxcroft stays crisp and wrinkle-free, even while you sweat. Choose from myriad solid colors that match with everything, and enjoy practical features such as a tailored-seam finish, stylish collar and a fitted shape that doesn't expose your undergarments.

For many men, it can be hard to find a pair of chino pants that not only fit well, but also remain wrinkle-free throughout the day. This straight-fit pair by Amazon's own Goodthreads is an exception. Made of a non-iron fabric comprised of cotton and elastane, these pants are comfortable and easy to care for, and can be worn either casually or dressed up for formal night. Pair them with a T-shirt, collared shirt or button-down dress shirt to achieve your desired look.

Whether on a walking city tour or dining in a specialty restaurant, men will love this versatile button-down shirt and its wrinkle-resistant, and stain- and soil-repellent qualities. The combed cotton and polyester fabric is lightweight, comfortable and perhaps best of all, does not necessitate any ironing. Solid earth tones complemented by a chambray neckband, yoke and cuffs also give it a stylish flair.

Wrinkle-Free Travel Clothes To Take On Your Next Adventure

We’ve all been there. You assembled the perfect wardrobe, meticulously planned, carefully packed, hopped on a plan, and landed. You’re exhausted, ready for a shower, and likely in need of some food. You open your suitcase for your favorite button down top and pants, only to find them horribly wrinkled and basically unwearable until you find an iron or some wrinkle-release spray. The suitcase wrinkles strike again.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Thanks to new fabric technology, travel-wear companies are creating ways to not sacrifice fashion for function, creating pants and tops that are wrinkle-resistant and iron-free.

If you’re ready to pack the perfect summer wardrobe without the wrinkle hassle, read on below for our top travel brands below.

Other Wrinkle-Free Fashion Considerations

Beyond the brands above, consider checking tags for fabric to determine whether or not an item will be wrinkle-resistant. In general, fabrics such as lyocell, polyester, knits, spandex, and rayon tend to be better at resisting wrinkles compared to natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and hemp. For natural and wrinkle-resistant fabrics, both Tencel and twill are plant-based and plastic-free for a more environmentally-friendly option.

Next time you take a trip, don’t let wrinkles hold you back from enjoying your time away. Invest in easily packable wrinkle-resistant clothing to let your wardrobe work for you wherever, whenever.
