Sustainable Womens Silk Shirt: Numi The Simone

This is a new favorite of editor-in-chief Alex. Read her mini-review, “I am so excited!!! I THINK THIS IS THE BLOUSE I’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR!!!  Over the past decade, I’ve been working to create my perfect capsule wardrobe . Because I’m a frequent flier, every clothing item I own (or the majority) has to work for everyday and for travel as well. I don’t own just “travel clothes” but I look for clothes that are functional, fit well, and make me feel good when I look in the mirror. In this search, I’ve discovered that a simple button down blouse with concealed buttons is an essential part of what’s now becoming my signature look. I can wear this type of blouse any day for almost any destination and it works for me.”

Alex says the Numi silk blouse is airy, light, and featherlight, making it incredibly packable! She explains further, “ I ordered a size small, but I was worried it would be too small for my bust. It works very well but the shoulder seams don’t line up where they should fall. Being petite, this is just a standard part of my experience with clothing and it’s not an issue with Numi. While I’ve never tailored a button down blouse, this is one that’s definitely worth the effort to make it the quintessential wardrobe staple in my capsule for a clean, chic appearance.”

Made of sustainably sourced silk, this is available in four colors and sizes XS-XL .

After reading this post I ordered an Eddie Bauer Departure shirt, and I loved it so much I now have a second! They wash and wear well and do not wrinkle. Best of all, they come in tall sizes, which is great because I have a long torso. I always travel with one of these shirts, and they are in my regular rotation at home, too. Thank you for the recommendation!

Wish you showed patterns.

I love the Eddie Bauer Departure Shirt!

This has been so helpful. I have never travelled with shirts as I loathe ironing. Will be checking out the wrinkle free options!

After reading all your travel shirt and white shirt blogs, I ended up deciding on the Eddie Bauer Departure shirt. I absolutely love it! No wrinkles, even when I tuck into my pants, not see through, super lightweight, and tons of stretch so it’s super comfortable yet structured. Thanks so much for the recommendations!

Thank you for including plus size options.

So many good choices. I have been thinking about several on the list for an upcoming month long trip to Europe. Love the comparisons.

I love the packing shirt ideas! I have bought a hole from Eddie Bauer.

After reading the reviews, I’ve added 2 Eddie Bauer Departure 2 shirts to my travel list for my Australia cruise. They will be easy to pack and versatile.

Thank you for the reviews! I too purchased the Eddie Bauer Departure shirt. It has exceeded my expectations and love I wearing this at home and while traveling

Thank you for this! Shirts are an area in my wardrobe where I really struggle. All of these look like great contenders for a new addition to my closet!

Thanks for this review! I found the Eddie Bauer ripstop shirt at Costco, I’m packing it for upcoming trip to Scotland.

Those white Eddie Bauer shirts look like just what I’ve been looking for, thank you so much!!!!

Love this list. Looking to add a button up top to my wardrobe. Starting with this. Thanks!

Absolutely love the Eddie Bauer Departure shirt! I have it in tow colors and it’s been the workhorse of my recent trip to Ireland. So many different ways to wear it.

I am so grateful that I found TFG blog and FB page! I am getting ready for 10 days in Italy in mid-October and was so stuck on what to pack and also wanting a capsule wardrobe. This blog has been tremendously helpful in pointing me in the right direction. I am wondering if it’s ok to wear jeans with “fashion rips” in them when in Italy? I have an awesome pair of black jeans but they do have a rip in the knee. Are Italians wearing ripped jeans??

I have two Eddie Bauer v-neck tank tops and a pair of pants from the Departure line that I love. They hang/drape nicely on the body. They’re lightweight, dries within hours after hand washing, wrinkle resistant and are UPF rated. My next purchase will be the long-sleeved shirt. If it wasn’t for this blog, I wouldn’t have known about the line. Thank you!

Love reading what is best for packing as I plan my trip to Europe next year!

I’m looking to build a travel capsule and love all the input on the perfect shirts. I will definitely be linking over to some of your sites to purchase. Thank you for all your wonderful tips.

I love your posts! I especially love your choice in tops. I have sometimes felt left out when I read about women who wear tops meant for tiny people. Your swimsuit and blouse choices are super classy and fashionable. Thank you for pointing the way to having better style when traveling. I especially love your Anatomie jackets. So cute!!

I love packing cubes I’ve labeled mine with embroidery for tops, bottoms, undies, bras

I LOVE the EB rip stop shirt!! It’s been my go-to in the summer for sun protection and when I just need a layer to chase away a chill. Great for travel and it washes and hangs dry like a dream. I have white and am looking at more colors. Great recommendation from TFG!

I truly appreciate the curated list of shirts. I bought the Eddie Bauer. Love that you can wear alone or as a quasi-jacket. We are headed for safaris in Africa and then later to the Galapagos. I’m sure the shirt will be well-used. Thanks!

Wow, I’m so happy to learn about all the different brands for great travel clothing! My favorite is Anatomie. I bought two of their Buddha blouses for a recent trip and felt so pulled together when I wore them.

The reviews are so helpful. I’ve struggled for years to find the “just right” white button down. In a recent post someone suggested I have one altered. Brilliant!!! Now I’m looking at the Numi and thinking hmmmmm!!! ❤️

I love the Eddie Bauer shirts

Absolutely love Anatomie brand clothing. I’ve been wearing the brand for over 12 years. Highest quality and so easy for travel. Machine washable too.

I only recently added a. button-up shirt to my wardrobe but I’m really happy that I did – the shirt can pull double-duty as a swim cover-up!

I just bought the EB departure shirt in white, have not worn it but can’t wait to take it on a short trip next month.

Thank you for all your awesome recommendations! I look forward to your emails (especially the Nordstrom anniversary sale posts!) Been following for a few years now and your ideas came in very handy on my last trip to Europe!

Just picked up the EB departure shirt at Costco. While I have not worn it yet I can’t wait to take it on a test “trip”.

I always find the posts so informative. Lots of detail and very honest critiques.

I’ve purchased so many recommendations from reading here and the FB page but my most recent have been the EB Ripstop ( have in 2 colors now) and the EB Departure shirt in white which I love even more for how stretchy and classy looking! Thank you for all you do to share with us!

I love the elevated look of the Anatomie Alida! Think I need to add it to my closet and my suitcase.

Thank you! I have an Eddie Bauer dress and packable down jacket that I love for travel. I may need to try some shirts.

I always appreciate the summary and shopping info at the end of your blog posts. That way I can immerse myself in the descriptions and then check for the details on my favorites at then end. There are always a couple that are new to me— in this case, I will be keeping an eye on sales at Nordstrom for the TB shirt!

I really love that you have reviews for clothes women have tried and loved.

Thank you! I always like TFG’s posts. Very detailed and useful. They even tell us how to pack the shirts. After reading this article I’ll try the Eddie Bauer Departure.

Always so helpful and great layout for seeing options, learning more about them and learning about where to buy them! I so admire you and love your newsletters and blog posts! I love to travel, travel for work and fun and to rotate with siblings for caregiving for our aging parents. Thanks to your advice, I have learned about and purchased several items that are spot on how you describe them. So thank you so much for sticking to your dreams!

Wow! 10 yrs! Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to get lucky and get one of the giveaways!

I love Coolibar UPF t-shirts for travel. They keep my skin protected, and the darker colors are easy to dress up in the evenings, if needed.

I love the Lands End shirt!

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect packable button down; thanks for the curated list!

Great list! I love my Lands End long sleeve no iron shirt in blue and white stripes. It has been a staple in my closet for years and still washes and dries wrinkle free. I also have a couple of long sleeve button up shirts in linen from Tommy Bahama. I’m a petite 4-6 and both of these brands offer petite sizes.

I’ve read a lot of comments from readers about the Eddie Bauer Departure. Going to try that one for my next trip.

Thank you! I’ve actually been wondering about 2 of these in my own and now I’m going to try them out.

The best travel shirts all share qualities that make them ideal for travel. They must wick away sweat, fight odors, resist wrinkles, and of course—look stylish. Here are our top picks for the best travel shirts for men and women.

UNTUCKit Flannel Sherwood Shirt

It can be tough to find casual men’s shirts that don’t look sloppy, but UNTUCKit nails it with their Sherwood flannel . Like all UNTUCKit shirts, the shirt is designed to be the perfect length when worn untucked. The soft brushed cotton fabric is ultra-cozy, making it comfortable on even the coldest days. Choose from a regular, slim, relaxed, or tall fit to get the perfect cut for your body type.

Ibex Journey Long Sleeve Crew

Available in a men’s and women’s version, the Ibex Journey Long Sleeve Crew will be the most versatile shirt in your travel wardrobe. Made from merino wool and nylon fabric blend, this shirt is warm but never itchy. The merino wool makes the shirt odor-resistant, thermoregulating, and breathable.

Nathan Tempo Quarter Zip Long Sleeve Shirt

The Nathan Tempo Quarter Zip is the perfect layer for active trips. Made from a soft knit fabric, the shirt is slim enough to layer under a jacket or sweatshirt, but still extremely warm. Thumb holes, reflective details, and flat lock seams make this quarter zip the shirt you’ll reach for every time for cold weather workouts.

Public Rec Go-To Polo

Public Rec’s Go-To Polo is as comfortable as a T-shirt but looks classier—so you can wear this from a meeting to drinks afterwards. Made from a blend of pima cotton, TENCEL, and spandex, this ultra-soft shirt packs easily, feels great, looks awesome, and stands out as one of the best travel shirts.

Bluffworks Azores Blouse

A women’s button-down that doesn’t gape at the buttons can be hard to find, let alone one that doesn’t wrinkle and is actually comfortable. Bluffworks’ Azores Blouse magically meets all those requirements, with plenty of pockets thrown in as an added bonus.

Tasc Carrollton Long Sleeve

Made from a bamboo/cotton/spandex blend, Tasc’s Carrollton Long Sleeve shirt wicks away moisture, prevents odors, protects you from the sun, and is ultra-breathable—plus, it’s unbelievably soft. With a clean crewneck design, this shirt can be worn for both workouts and sightseeing without looking out of place.

Title Nine Grace Long Sleeve Top

For an active trip, you’ll want to pack Title Nine’s Grace Long Sleeve Top . Made out of a trademarked Buttah LT fabric with StinkStopper treatment, the shirt feels smoother than butter and resists odors even if you subject it to multiple workouts without a wash. Details like a ruched back and space-dye design make this shirt wearable outside of the gym.

Unbound Merino Classic Button-Down

Unbound Merino’s Classic Button-Down beats a traditional button-down on several fronts: It’s short enough that it can be worn tucked or untucked without looking odd, it’s made from a merino wool/organic cotton blend that’s odor-resistant and breathable, and it’s fast-drying so you can wash it and re-wear it on a long trip.

Coolibar Hightide Swim Shirt

Protect yourself from the sun without overheating in long sleeves with Coolibar’s Hightide Swim Shirt . Made to be worn in the water, this shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, won’t float up while you swim, and won’t fade from chlorine or saltwater. This lightweight and silky-feeling shirt can be worn out of the water as well, when you need to save yourself from the sun on dry land.

Alternative Apparel Everyday V-Neck

Alternative Apparel’s Everyday V-Neck is not only soft, but it’s also eco-friendly. The trademarked Lenzing fabric used to make this travel shirt is a sustainable cellulose fiber that comes from beechwood pulp—resulting in a material that’s twice as soft as regular cotton.

PFG Zero Rules Long Sleeve Shirt

Ever wished you could wear your own personal air conditioner? Columbia’s PFG Zero Rules shirt comes close to achieving that dream. This long-sleeve travel shirt actually lowers your body temperature. The Omni-Wick technology wicks sweat and moisture away from your body and keeps you dry, while Omni-Shade blocks UV rays and heat.

Patagonia Short-Sleeved Capilene Cool Trail Shirt

Patagonia’s Short-Sleeved Capilene Cool Trail Shirt is a shirt that all other T-shirts should be modeled after: a lightweight, breathable fabric that’s moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and soft. Plus, it’s made with anti-odor technology to keep the stink away. The design offers just the right amount of fashion while still keeping it classic.

Stantt Performance Dress Shirt

Get the perfect fit (no tailor required) with Stantt’s Performance Dress Shirt . This innovative brand offers shirts in 99 different sizes. Simply take a 30-second quiz on Stantt’s website to find your ideal size. The Performance shirt is great for travel, as it’s wrinkle-resistant but still soft and stretchy, so you’ll look good and feel comfortable as you step off the plane.

No iron? No problem. These uncreasable clothes are ideal for packing.

Wrinkle-resistant clothing is ideal for making a travel experience easier and more streamlined. When your clothes don't crease, you can use compression organizers and ultimately pack more in your suitcase. And when it's time to get dressed, you won't need an iron or steamer.

The most low-maintenance pieces are made of at least somewhat stretchy fabrics with flexible weaves that hold their shape. This allows you to roll or fold your clothes and even wear some items multiple times without worrying about them looking, well… worn .

We've researched the best wrinkle-resistant clothing for travel, from versatile tops and bottoms to dresses, jumpsuits, and outerwear.

Best Button-down

Columbia women's boundless trek layering long sleeve shirt.

This stretchy, moisture-wicking, endlessly versatile button-down can be worn as-is, layered over another shirt, or used as a swimsuit cover-up.

It's technically a hiking shirt but can also work for travel days and most casual outings.

Columbia's Boundless Trek Shirt is the perfect button-down for travel — I was glad to have it with me on my last trip. It's made of a stretchy, wrinkle-resistant blend of polyester and elastane. Beyond that, the fabric draws sweat away from your body, repels stains, and even offers UPF 50 protection from the sun.

It's technically a hiking shirt, but I think it's ideal for travel days, sightseeing, shopping, and other casual outings as well. Thanks to the long length and relaxed fit, I was able to wear it both as-is and layer it over tanks and tees. You could even use it as a swimsuit cover-up. I also appreciate that there's a front chest pocket and a hidden internal pocket that fits an ID, credit card, or room key.

The Details: XS to 2X | Polyester, recycled nylon, elastane

Best Long-sleeve Shirt

Athleta ascent seamless top.

The Ascent Seamless Top is ultra-soft, lightweight, and breathable, with a close-to-body fit that makes it a great base layer.

It's 42 percent wool so it may be best for cooler temperatures.

Athleta's Ascent Seamless Top is just the thing for travel. This long-sleeve shirt is woven from a blend of nylon, merino wool, and spandex. The fabric is wrinkle-resistant, lightweight, and oh-so-soft, while the close-to-body fit makes for a great base layer.

Since the wool content adds warmth, it might be best for cooler weather — but merino wool is a temperature-regulating material , so you probably won't overheat. The mesh-like back panels and pointelle strip down the front offer breathability, too. Wool is also naturally antimicrobial, meaning it repels odor-causing bacteria.

The Details: XXS to XL | Nylon, merino wool, spandex

Best T-shirt

J.crew stretch linen-blend crewneck t-shirt.

This classic tee can be dressed up or down, worn as a base layer, and rocked with jeans, pleated shorts, athleisure wear — you name it.

It's a slim fit and runs slightly small, so consider ordering a size up.

Everyone's idea of the perfect T-shirt is different, but if you ask us, this one from J.Crew checks all the boxes. You get the lightweight, easy-breezy feel of linen (which, yes, is known for wrinkling) with the flexible crease resistance of polyester and elastane.

This crewneck tee can be worn with just about anything — we're talking jeans, trousers, shorts, or athleisure. You can rock the T-shirt on its own and dress it up or down by layering it under a flannel or blazer. Just a heads up, it runs a little small, and since it's a slim fit, you may want to order a size up from what you normally wear.

The Details: XXS to 3X | Linen, polyester, elastane

Best Versatile Top

Everlane the supima micro-rib scoop-neck tee.

The sleeve length, neckline, and silhouette make it easy to pair with laid-back, professional, and dressier attire.

Even though it's ribbed, the material is somewhat thin.

With elbow-length sleeves, a sophisticated scoop neck, and a slim (but not too tight) fit, this is the ideal in-between shirt for travel. The versatile design can be worn in transitional weather and dressed up with professional attire or down with jeans or linen shorts. You can also layer it under a blazer, cardigan, or button-down.

This shirt is primarily Supima cotton, a supremely breathable and naturally moisture-resistant fiber, with a small amount of elastane woven in for stretch and wrinkle resistance. Even though it's ribbed, the fabric is a bit thin. It's not sheer, though, and long-staple cotton like Supima is much more durable than regular cotton.

The Details: XS to 2X | Supima cotton, elastane

Best Blouse

Timeson chiffon v neck sleeveless blouse.

This crease-resistant, packable blouse works for professional ensembles and casual outfits alike.

It may arrive slightly wrinkled from the packaging but will relax after washing.

We're also big fans of this blouse. The fabric promises reliable wrinkle resistance, so you can fold it, roll it, or compress it into a packing cube without worrying about creases. It's also very accessibly priced and comes in nearly 30 colors and prints, ranging from neutrals to florals to bolder hues.

The sleeveless, slightly flowy design can be tucked into dress pants and layered under a blazer or cardigan. You could also wear it with jeans, either untucked or with a French tuck (just in the front).

The Details: S to 2X | Polyester

Best Sweater

Banana republic fern linen-blend raglan sweater.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic's low-maintenance yet luxurious Fern Sweater is breathable, lightweight, and packable with a modern silhouette.

The boxy cut may be hard to tuck into lower-rise pants.

Our favorite packable, low-maintenance travel sweater comes from Banana Republic. You'll get the lightweight breathability of linen, plus the wrinkle resistance of viscose rayon . The material is super soft and drapey with a luxurious feel.

This sweater has a classic crewneck, raglan-style shoulders, a relaxed fit, and a boxier cut. We love the modern silhouette, but bear in mind tucking it into low-rise pants might be tricky.

The Details: XXS to 2X | Linen, viscose rayon

Best Tank Top

L.l.bean women's bean's layering tank.

L.L.Bean

This tank makes an excellent undershirt or sleeveless top for warm weather, and you can count on the stretchy material to resist wrinkling in your suitcase.

It's on the longer side and falls past the hip.

This tank from L.L.Bean is the best of both worlds. It's 95 percent cotton, so you can bet it's breathable, moisture-wicking, soft, and gentle against the skin. Since cotton is known to wrinkle in the wash, the remaining 5 percent is spandex. The result? A stretchy sleeveless top you can roll as tightly as you want when packing your suitcase.

The cut is on the longer side for easy tucking and a little extra cover when wearing it with form-fitting bottoms, like yoga pants or bike shorts. Since this tank top is so reasonably priced, you might consider getting it in multiple colors.

The Details: XS to 3X | Cotton, spandex

Unbound Merino Travel Dress

It never needs ironing, repels funky smells, dries quickly, and can be worn in multiple seasons.

The brand suggests laying flat to dry rather than tossing it in the dryer.

Unbound Merino's aptly named Travel Dress is woven mostly from merino wool, with small amounts of nylon and spandex for durability, stretch, and extra wrinkle resistance that never needs ironing. I own one myself and can attest to these qualities. The sturdy yet soft and flexible material also repels odors and dries quickly.

Since it doesn't harbor funky smells, I've worn this dress multiple times while traveling without having to wash it — meaning I could pack fewer items. The sleeveless, midi style is great for warm locales, but you can also layer it under a sweater, blazer, or jean jacket.

The Details: XS to XL | Merino wool, nylon, spandex

Best T-shirt Dress

Cozy earth brushed bamboo midi dress.

This short-sleeve dress makes outfit planning easy while resisting creases and keeping you comfy all day.

The fabric is on the heavier side, but it's still plenty breathable.

I love traveling with this T-shirt dress from Cozy Earth. The short sleeves, crew neckline, and midi length are just right for casual outings, while the knee-high side slits give me a full range of movement. Plus, as a one-and-done ensemble, packing and outfit planning for trips are much easier.

This wrinkle-resistant dress is woven from bamboo-derived viscose, acrylic, and spandex. The fabric is on the heavier side, but I find this helps prevent creases. I also appreciate that it's totally opaque yet still plenty breathable.

The Details: XS to 3X | Bamboo viscose, acrylic, spandex

lululemon Utilitech Relaxed Mid-Rise Trouser 7/8 Length

With a jogger feel and a tailored-trouser look, these pants are incredibly stretchy and wrinkle-proof.

There are no belt loops, and the 7/8 cut is supposed to fall around the ankle but may be full-length for shorter people.

Lululemon's Utilitech Trousers are made of an exceptionally stretchy fabric that's not just resistant to creases but is actually entirely wrinkle-proof. But on account of the twill texture, pleats, back darts, and welt pockets, they look just like tailored dress pants to the untrained eye.

With a mid-rise waist, a slightly relaxed fit, and straight-meets-wide legs, these travel pants have a modern look without being too trendy. We also like that there's a hidden card slot in one of the front pockets.

The Details: 0 to 14 | Elastomultiester, cotton, elastane

Best Shorts

Spanx stretch twill shorts 6".

These pull-on shorts are super comfy yet functional, with pockets, belt loops, and a built-in tummy shaper.

The color may transfer onto lighter materials before the first wash.

These shorts from Spanx are a wise choice for travel. The fabric is more than 50 percent cotton for softness and breathability, while rayon, polyester, and elastane provide stretchiness and crease resistance. In true Spanx fashion, there's a built-in tummy shaper that helps smooth your midsection.

With no zippers or buttons, the pull-on style is convenient and incredibly comfy. Meanwhile, the belt loops and front and back pockets deliver functionality where you need it. The garment dye is supposed to fade over time for a worn-in look, but it might transfer onto other fabrics or materials before the first wash.

The Details: XS to 3X | Cotton, rayon, polyester, elastane

Reformation Maria Knit Skirt

Reformation

The Maria Knit Skirt is light, breathable, and stretchy, with an adjustable rise and a side slit for freedom of movement.

It's only available in black but is still notably versatile.

This skirt is made primarily of Tencel lyocell with a bit of spandex woven in. Sourced from wood pulp, lyocell is breathable, lightweight, and, most importantly, resistant to wrinkles. The jersey-knit fabric is soft, airy, and comfortable — everything you want in travel clothes.

Though it only comes in black, the Maria Skirt is undeniably versatile. The ultra-stretchy, tube-style design can be worn high-waisted, mid-rise, or low rise, giving you flexibility when curating outfits. We also like that there's a side slit to allow movement with the maxi length.

The Details: XS to XL | Tencel lyocell, spandex

Best Joggers

Vuori performance jogger.

These editor-approved pants are light, stretchy, crease-resistant, and remarkably comfortable.

It's an ankle-length cut and runs large, so think about ordering a size down.

When it comes to comfy clothes for travel days, padding around your rental, lounging on vacation, or even working out, Vuori's Performance Joggers are hard to beat. Made of the brand's DreamKnit fabric, these Travel + Leisure editor-tested and -approved pants are stretchy, lightweight, remarkably soft, and wildly comfortable. More to the point, the polyester-elastane blend is wrinkle-resistant.

These best-selling joggers are ankle-length, but there's also a full-length version . We should note that the relaxed fit runs a bit large, so think about ordering a size down from what you usually wear unless you prefer a slouchier look.

The Details: XS to 2X | Recycled polyester, elastane

Best Jumpsuit

Patagonia women's fleetwith jumpsuit.

Beyond being wrinkle-resistant, the Fleetwith Jumpsuit is quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and stretchy with five functional pockets.

A jumpsuit might not be ideal to wear on travel days.

We love jumpsuits for travel because they're a whole outfit in a single piece of clothing — except maybe on a plane when you want to be able to easily go to the bathroom. This one from Patagonia offers next-level convenience with a fabric that can be tightly rolled or compactly folded without sustaining creases.

The polyester-spandex blend is moisture-resistant and quick-drying, while the stretchy quality and side slits on the pant hems allow you to move freely. Other standout features include front and back pockets, a hidden zippered pocket, and a drawcord waist for an adjustable fit.

The Details: XXS to 2X | Polyester, spandex

Best Blazer

Quince stretch crepe open blazer.

Promising never to wrinkle while keeping odors at bay, this travel-friendly blazer can be worn with professional, dressy, and casual outfits.

Meant to be worn open, it doesn't button or clasp in the middle.

Blazers are great to have on trips, easily dressing up and adding warmth to any outfit. Plus, they're appropriate to wear both inside and outdoors. We're particularly fond of this one from Quince, which promises never to wrinkle while the antibacterial material keeps odors at bay.

The smooth fabric has a drapey quality that lends to a polished yet laid-back appearance. It's meant to be worn open so the shawl collar and pointed front hems fall just right. This blazer is versatile enough to wear with tailored pants, pleated shorts, jeans, or even athleisure wear — think yoga pants and chunky sneakers.

The Details: XS to XL | Polyester, recycled polyester

Best Jacket

Aday up in the air jacket.

This wrinkle-free jacket has eye-catching details while still being versatile, practical, and extremely comfortable.

Consider sizing up if you plan to layer it over more than a thin shirt.

Aday is a stellar place to shop for wrinkle-resistant, packable travel clothes. We can't get enough of the Up In The Air Jacket, a biker-inspired coat with a dramatically oversized collar, an asymmetrical front-zip closure, and a subtle sheen.

Crafted from recycled polyester and elastane, the scuba material is thick and sturdy yet lightweight and breathable. It's also resistant to pilling, sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and (notably) wrinkle-free.

The Details: XS to XL | Recycled polyester, elastane

Tips for Buying Wrinkle-resistant Clothing for Travel

Choose the right materials.

When buying wrinkle-resistant clothing for travel, pay close attention to the material makeup. The most crease-resistant fabrics are synthetic or semi-synthetic, like polyester, rayon, viscose, and Tencel lyocell. Stretchy fibers, such as spandex and elastane, can also help with smoothness and packability.

Cotton and linen tend to be the most wrinkle-prone, but these naturally breathable textiles can be blended with other fibers to make them wrinkle-resistant. Wool and cashmere can be good options, too, particularly in jersey fabrics or knitted weaves.

Do a test run before packing

A clothing item claiming to be wrinkle-resistant doesn't necessarily mean it's 100 percent wrinkle-proof — especially when compressed in a suitcase. With this in mind, we recommend doing a test run before your trip. Fold up each item ahead of time and leave it for at least a few hours to see how it looks onced unfolded.

Concerned about creases? Think about packing a travel steamer — or even just a wrinkle-release spray if you're short on suitcase space — just in case.

When it comes to preventing wrinkles, rolling your clothes might be best because it sidesteps any sharp bends that may result in creases. However, it depends on the garment and how tightly you roll it. For instance, a tightly rolled long-sleeve starchy shirt might unroll to reveal big creases, and a carefully folded knit sweater may do just fine placed on the uppermost layer of your main suitcase compartment.

It depends on the material and clothing item. But generally speaking, you can machine wash wrinkle-resistant clothes on a delicate or regular cycle with warm or cold water, then tumble dry them on low heat. To prevent pilling, shrinking, and misshaping the garment, you can also hang it or lay it flat to air dry. When in doubt, go with the brand's care instructions, which you can find on the tag or product webpage.
