24 Pieces Of Clothing From Target That Are Essentially Made For Traveling

Stylish and comfortable, these picks will make you look and feel like you belong on travel Tiktok.

BuzzFeed Contributor

1. A timeless ribbed crewneck bodysuit to give the look of a perfectly tucked tank top, without all the fuss of actually having to tuck in an actual tank top. Not only is this chic and sophisticated, but it'll be awesome for layering underneath anything for your airport look. Plus, it's so *versatile* so you can wear it a couple of times on your trip and no one will realize.

Promising review : "Love love love this bodysuit!!! It has snap closures, it's very soft and has good quality fabric. I have a long torso so most bodysuits don't fit me but this one fits PERFECTLY! It doesn't give me a omnipresent wedgie , it does provide full coverage and the shoulder straps are very comfortable."— Rachel R

Price: $12 (available in sizes XS–1X, 3X-4X, and six colors)

2. A pair of high-waisted pull-on pants with a ruffled waist and drawstring, because they'll make your travels 10 times comfier this season. Although these are pants, they're super lightweight — so they will keep your legs warm on the chilly plane, but won't overheat them when you finally arrive in paradise.

Promising review: "Lightweight and comfortable! The elastic waistband is super nice! I bought these for a long drive, I wanted something cute but also comfortable while I drove for 12+ hours. The waistband was super nice and comfortable didn’t dig into my stomach at all. Was able to cuff the pants to shorten them a bit." — lindstroje

Price: $21.25 (originally $25; available in sizes 1X–4X and three colors)

3. A pair of slide-on loafers that'll quickly become your favorite travel companion. A cushioned insole and cute braided detailing? Sign us up!

Promising review: "The perfect shoes. I walked I attended a grad ceremony and party and didn't have to take these flats off, I took a risk buying these because too flat of a shoe hurts my arch. These were perfect." — BrittKearn

Price: $25.49 (available in sizes 5–12 )

4. A simple moisture-wicking skort because why wear shorts underneath your skirt if you don't have to? This piece may be basic, but that's a good thing when it comes to travel pieces — you can wear it countless times without anyone realizing it. If your vacay involves a bit of walking, this is way cuter than work out shorts, and just as comfy.

Promising review: "I bought this skirt for the hiking we’re doing on vacation. It’s perfect! The shorts underneath are so comfortable and don’t ride up. The length is perfect, not too long but long enough to bend over without showing too much. The pockets, three outside and one on the inner shorts, are awesome and large enough to fit my phone. I’ve since ordered every color available. Great buy!" — Erika

Price: $28 (available in sizes XS–4X and seven colors)

5. A cozy bralette that is a little longer than other versions, with adjustable straps and removable cups. Made with microfiber fabric, this smooth and snug fit will keep you comfy and on-trend on a plane, a long bus ride, or anywhere else you don't want to feel restricted. Wear it as a top and throw on a matching set over! Or bonus, pair with bike shorts and an oversized button-down!

Promising review: "This is definitely one of my new favorite bras. S o comfortable and supportive. Great for wearing around the house or under a tank top to run errands." — Chloe 

Price: $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors)

6. A 100% cotton boxy tee because although it might not be the trendiest thing on here, it's certainly a piece that you will get a ton of mileage out of, especially when traveling. We love it because it will match everything but its neutral tones won't draw focus in your vacay photos — in fact, it will let the background shine.

Promising review: " Love it comfy, soft, lightweight. Just right for any outfit" — Monkeymama

Price: $8 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

7. A pair of cotton bike shorts that are comfy and *soo* breathable, and work great under skirts and dresses or on their own. Plus, you probably need to replace that pair you've been wearing every day since 2020. Name a more versatile clothing item for traveling; I'll wait...

Promising review: " Very comfortable and lightweight. Good for everything gym, bed, everyday wear." — BostonQueenFiyah

Price: $8 (available in sizes S–1X)

8. A pair of tapered stretch pants because they are truly designed for travel. Each pair of wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking pants features a lot of stretch and a side zippered pocket with a hidden passport pocket, plus they're made of quick-dry fabric, and even have UPF 50+ material. Hello, new travel buddy!

Promising review : "I got these to travel, and I wore them every day during my trip. They are so smart and comfortable, I really hope to see these come back in stock in the other colors because I'd love to buy more of them." — Bex9224

Price: $32 (available in sizes XS–4X regular, XS–XXL long and XS–XXL short and four colors)

9. An oversized sleeveless plisse knit dress with a slit that will give you a ton of movement, so you don't have to feel constricted on your long journey. Perfect if you're hopping off the plane and diving directly into your first vacation activity.

I love this dress so much that I legit had to buy it in a second color. I love how effortless and easy it is to throw on; paired with the right accessories, it'll make you look chic and it's so darn comfy. BRB buying it in more colors.

Promising review: "These are so comfortable! The fit is loose, but the dress is breezy and perfect for the summer. You can dress this dress up or wear it casual. A summer staple. I am going to buy in more colors!" — PM

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

10. A soft, sleeveless jumpsuit with an elastic waist, because all you need to do is throw it on, and you're fully dresses and ready to head to the airport. Easy, breezy and perfect for traveling, this might actually keep you comfortable on that 12-hour flight.

Promising review : "This is a very comfy jumper. You can dress it up or down because of the linen fabric. You can also tie the functional shoulder straps where you like it. This is perfect for breastfeeding as well since you can untie it. It does loosen up a bit as you wear it throughout the day but I don’t mind it so much. I think it’s worth trying it out."— arinana

Price: $29.99 (available in sizes X–4X and in orange)

11. A boxy short-sleeve button-down for layering purposes, because layering is an essential part of traveling. Throw one of these bright shirts on over a white tee and jeans and see how it elevates the look. Also, this shirt has lightweight interlining material, which will keep you cool and comfortable all-day long, no matter how loooooong the day is.

Promising review: " Very comfortable linen top that isn’t too casual but isn’t too dressy. I wore it on a work trip in the south of France and it was perfect. It is a little see-through if you have dark colors on underneath. Looks great with colorful bottoms or jeans." — comfycasual

Price: $15.30+ (originally $18; available in sizes XS–XXL, 2X–4X and seven colors)

12. A pair of high-waisted leggings because how much more travel-friendly can you get? These are ~ultra soft ~, made with recycled polyester and guess what? They even have pockets! Pop these on and get ready to be the comfiest person in the exit row.

Promising review: "I bought these leggings to bring on my trip to Disney in September and I was looking for ones that will keep me warm at night and let me just say that these are SO soft and the side pockets are a huge plus !" — cloudyz

Price: $11.70+ (originally $18; available in sizes XXS–4X and five colors)

13. A pair of high-rise track pants for a retro-inspired travel fit. Comfortable and stylish, these will look great and make you feel ready to go — how doesn't appreciate having some of that Sporty Spice energy as you tackle the bag-check line?

Price : $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors)

14. An open-front cardigan because you never know how cold it will get when you're going from place to place. Life hack: Wear this over your outfit on the plane so it doesn't take up much space in your suitcase. It's soft, comfortable, and lightweight, aka it's the perfect travel companion (besides your neck pillow.)

Promising review: " Love the softness and fit of this cardigan! Bought 1 and then immediately bought 2 more in different colors! Wear them weekly, and they have held up very well even with normal w/d cycles!" — Dw

Price : $23.79+ (originally $27.99; available in sizes XS–4X and in three colors)

15. A pair of soft French terry shorts that'll keep you relaxed and ready to jump immediately into vacation mode. Complete with side pockets to fill with seashells from the shore, you gonna need these in every color for every day of your trip.

Promising review: " They fit me great & they are the most comfortable shorts! Plus they got pockets that I'm able to put my phone in." — Kathy

Price: $8.50 (originally $10; available in sizes XS–4X and seven colors)

16. A pair of low-rise cargo pants because they have *so* many pockets for storing all the things you want to access during your flight (or that you only remembered to bring with you at the last second, as you were heading out the door). Yes, we said *low-rise*, because this way, they will not ride up during your travels, causing you any kind of discomfort. Fun fact: These are also made from recycled materials.

Price: $28 (available in sizes XXS–4X and three colors)

17. A pair of denim shortalls that will keep you looking equally cute and comfortable on your travels. With its many pockets and adjustable shoulder straps, this might just be the MVP of your trip wardrobe.

Promising review: "These are my first pair of overalls and I love them! The straps are adjustable so I was able to shorten them to accommodate my short torso. I wore them while studying abroad and found the chest pocket super convenient for my phone if I needed to use both hands and I didn’t have to worry about someone stealing my phone from a back pocket !" — Cait

Price: $21 (originally $30; available in sizes 00–18, 14W, and 26W and three colors)

18. A pair of mid-rise tie-waist shorts because these will offer you tons breathable comfort, which you kind of need in this ~humid~ weather. Their turned-up hems add a fun design detail that you'll get a ton of compliments on. But perhaps most essentially, they require zero ironing!

Promising review: "So comfortable and cool. These shorts look good and you can go to a restaurant or outdoors in them. I haven’t worn anything else this summer and I ordered more! True to size! Wash and dry. No ironing required!" — Jennifer E

Price: $17+ (originally $20; available in sizes XS–4X and five colors)

Price: $14.45 (originally $17; available in sizes XS–4X and eight colors)

21. A pair of retro-inspired jogger sweats for those who get cold easily — these might just save you from freezing your butt off on the plane or that hotel room with the extremely powerful AC. Plus, They also are super soft and have pockets, so they are perfect for wearing on a long flight.

Promising review: "Super comfy and super warm doe cold weather. I live in so cal and went on vacation to Oklahoma just before the spring and these kept me warm. The style is nice. One recommendation, size down because these are big. I wear baggy clothes usually so when I say size down I mean it. I have pretty big hips and I still have to flip the band at the top because they are big and loose. I bought these online just before my trip or I would have swapped sizes." — Shiri Ji

Price: $16.50+ (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors)

22. A zip-up hoodie because it's time to replace the ragged one you've had since 2015...we know you packed it in your luggage, and we hate to break it to you, but it's time to move on. Since this is a zip-up, it won't mess up your hair or make you feel like you're choking during your adventures.

23. Or a cropped pullover hoodie for those who prefer the classics. Hoodies are perfect for snuggling into during a mid-flight nap, or hiding your face, so no one can see how jet-lagged you are. Plus with your hood up, everyone will know not to bother you while you're adjusting to the time change.

Promising review: " Comfortable and cozy, this pairs perfectly with my high-rise leggings for a relaxing day at home, out and about running errands, or even chasing my kids and dogs around. I love it and want it in all the colors!" — moscowbiz

Price: $18 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

24. A pair of white cotton canvas sneakers because you should always have a pair of these essential basics with you, no matter where you're going. They go with almost everything and they're comfier for a day of sightseeing than most sandals.

Promising review: "So many people are shocked when I tell them I’ve worn these sneakers on European vacations. Walking absolutely everywhere all day, these shoes are always comfortable and never made my feet hurt. Perfection!" — Anon

All-in-One Adapter with USB A & C Ports

Flex Woven Mid-Rise Cargo Joggers

Open story anti-theft vertical crossbody bag.

Crossbody bags are great for travel because they keep your phone, cards, identification and other important belongings within reach. This vertical one has some added security features, including RFID-blocking technology and slash-proof, water-repellant fabric, per the brand. Plus, Takhtehchian says its pretty roomy, granting you extra space for summer essentials like sunglasses and lip balm. If you’re looking to maximize your peace of mind during your next vacation, this bag is sure to help.

ModernLuxe Hard Shell Luggage Set

Editor’s Note: This pick is now out of stock, but we found a similar item you might like below.

As Takhtehchian says, this luggage set is the ultimate travel hack. Better yet: Right now it’s 40% off! Not your average carry-on and personal item, the hard shell suitcase opens in the front for easy laptop and electronics storage — there’s even a built-in USB port for charging your devices on the go! A cup holder in the back lets you store your water bottle or coffee cup, and a hook on the side makes it easy to snap on any other essentials. As for the personal bag, it’s soft and flexible, expanding as needed. According to the brand, both are durable and long-lasting, which is exactly what you’ll want during all of this summer’s adventures.

TravelArim Hard Shell Luggage Set

This TravelArim set is another luggage option with a USB port. It also has a handy front pocket, which has genius interior features including a cooler pocket, iPad pocket, laptop pocket and power bank pocket. Plus, it boasts 360 degree rotational wheels and a TSA-approved combination lock.

A New Day Short Sleeve Midi Shirtdress

It's crucial to pack versatile clothing while traveling, says Takhtehchian. This shirtdress from Target's A New Day brand can take you from brunch to dinner while still allowing you to comfortably hit up every tourist spot on your way! The cap sleeve detail is fashion-forward, yet the fabric is stretchy and soft, making it easy to wear over a long stretch of time. Pair it with sneakers for a laid-back daytime look, then add strappy sandals or heels for a night out. It's available in four colors and in sizes small to 4X.

Travel Smart 2-in-1 Styling & Garment Iron

If you're worried about how you're going to fit all of your hot tools into your carry-on, Takhtehchian's got you — this two-in-one iron works on your hair and clothes! But it's not just great for its dual purpose nature; the heating plate is wider than your average hair iron, so if you've been using your straightener to press out wrinkles in your clothes, you'll be glad to hear that this one has more surface area and can get the job done quicker! The iron's ceramic technology is gentle on hair and clothing, and it's compact, lightweight and dual voltage, meaning you can use it outside of the United States, according to the brand. Whether you need to smooth your hair and dress for a formal event, or you just like to keep your basics pressed, this tool will keep you polished from head to toe.

A New Day Stretch Straw Belt

Next up, accessorizing! If you’re into a cinched waist, Takhtehchian suggests adding this stretchy straw belt to the dress above (and other summer looks). Boasting a gold-toned buckle, the belt has an elevated vibe, yet remains comfortable thanks to an elastic strap that stretches around your waist, per the brand. Plus, it’s another space-saving pick for packing — it’s not as stiff as leather, and you can wear it with jeans, trousers and skirts, too.

Rexing V1 FHD Single Channel 1080p Full HD Dash Cam

Summer road trip on the books? You'll want to get your hands on this dash cam from Rexing, says Takhtehchian. Whether you're making your way through a national park, cruising along a coast or climbing mountains, this camera will capture all of the beautiful scenery and wildlife. The device records high quality videos and has an ultra wide camera angle, allowing you to capture more of your surroundings, according to the brand. With a low profile design, it blends seamlessly into your vehicle's interior. Plus, it features a built-in sensor that automatically detects sudden movements or potential collisions, working double duty as a safety gadget.

More summer travel gear

If you’re a fan of Apple’s “Find My” tool, which helps to locate friends and other Apple tools like the iPad and Macbook, an AirTag will take your search-and-find abilities to the next level. By keeping one on your keys, wallet and more, you can easily use the Find My app to locate them. You can even play a song on the tag’s built-in speaker or ask Siri to help!

Dealworthy Keychains for Apple AirTag (Set of 4)

Once you have your AirTags, snag a set of keychains to securely clip them onto all of your essentials. For less than $10, this set of four will secure your AirTags with ease while traveling.

Vera Bradley Cotton Bag Charm for AirPods

Always losing your AirPods in the bottom of your bag? This Vera Bradley bag charm can help. It snaps onto the outside of your purse, personal item or carry-on, so you never have to go without your favorite tunes and podcasts again.

Travel Smart All-in-One Adapter with USB A & C Ports

No matter where you're going, this adapter will keep your devices charged. Featuring a Type A, C, I and G universal socket and surge protection, you can use it to charge dual-voltage tech devices in over 150 countries. And with two USB-A and two USB-C ports, you can charge up to five devices at the same time!

If you have a long commute ahead of you, a pair of comfortable yet tailored joggers are just the thing to get you through. This bestselling All in Motion pair comes in three muted shades and is available in sizes XS to 4X.

Some may argue that traveling by plane is an occasion to dress up, but for most of us at Traveler, comfort is the main priority when planning a transit day ensemble: You want something loose enough that you won't need to readjust (or worse, unbutton) a few hours into a flight or road trip, but put-together enough to feel that you've made a switch out of pajamas and into a true outfit. Luckily, there is no shortage of loungewear sets these days.

Read on for 35 of the best loungewear sets to add to your travel wardrobe , many of which are sitting in our editors' dresser drawers. From upscale sweatsuits to cozy cashmere knits, they'll keep you comfy whether you're sitting on a plane, train, or in the passenger seat, and will get a re-wear on lazy vacation days when the only item on your to-do list is lounging around the Airbnb .

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date. Additional reporting by Meaghan Kenny.

The Aerie LumberJane collection has been one of the brand's more popular releases. The collection features breathable, lightweight waffle fabric in shirts, shorts, and now polos. The LumberJane polo and short set are perfect for lazy vacation days spent shuffling around in your slippers . Each piece has raw seams along the sleeves, sides, and back that gives it a more lived-in look.

Buck Mason is at the forefront of elevated essentials. The Vintage Interloop set features an oversized crew that has a relaxed fit all around and thinly ribbed stiching on the cuffs to give more structure to the slouchy sleeves. The French terry sweatpants are slimming and so comfortable. Each set looks slightly different than the other, thanks to Buck Mason's Venice Wash technique that creates its cool, vintage look.

We're always raving about Girlfriend Collective, a size-inclusive, sustainably- and ethically-made brand. This set is made from half recycled, half organic cotton. They're available in your classic neutral colors, as well as this rich wine hue.

Kim Kardashian's shapewear and loungewear brand Skims never misses when it comes to cozy sets. The Cotton Fleece collection is a more sporty take on classic loungewear. The soft fleece shorts have an interior drawstring at the waist for a more customizable fit.

This chic pullover and sweat shorts both don the recognizable Alexander Wang logo. While the set is one of the trendiest pieces on our list, you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how soft the heavy brushed cotton terry is. Style the set with a small crossbody bag and pair of chunky dad sneakers for quick errands or walks around the city.

You can never go wrong with a simple high-waisted pant and tank top combo. The Anrabess sleeveless set is lightweight and thin, making it supremely packable in any weekender bag or carry-on. At just $30, it is one of the most affordable loungewear sets on our list.

Is there anything easier than throwing on a jumpsuit? Spanx AirEssentials jumpsuit is one of the brand's bestsellers—and it's just been restocked in more colors. We love the drawstring tie at the waist that gives the jumpsuit a more fitted and flattering look.

Traveler 's commerce producer, Paris Wilson , swears by Roots' loungewear. “I've been raving about Roots for years. It's hard to find a brand that doesn't skimp on quality,” she says. The Luxe Crew and Pintuck pant are made from a cotton and cashmere blend. While the material gives it a more chic look, the fit of the set is more relaxed and loose. This can easily be dressed up or down, and would look great with a sleek pair of white sneakers .

The loose fit of the Ramona sweatshirt compliments the brand's drawstring waist Jane shorts. The rouched terry fabric on the inside of each garment keeps you warm and cozy without overheating. As warmer days approach, the yellow dip-dye design is a must-have for your spring and summer wardrobe .

If you're looking for a more polished look, the Malibu set is for you. The set is made up of the Frank & Eileen Audrey Capelet and the Catherine Sweatpant . Each piece is made from 100 percent cotton triple fleece, making it incredibly soft. It's the perfect set for a long road trip or a chilly plane.

The Cool Stretch collection from Pact is made from breathable organic cotton. The soft, thin layers are a go-to summer fit when temperatures are high and you just want to chill inside. The tank top and shorts set comes in seven colorways and can be paired with Pact's Airplane cardigan or a cozy hoodie .

If you prefer something a little more roomy, the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant set from This is J is for you. It’s perfect for long-haul flights and road trips where comfort is at the top of your list, but you don’t want to step out in your pajamas. The soft, moisture-wicking fabric will keep you dry and comfortable whether you’re snuggled up on a train or plane.

This set is made for cold weather. The thick fabric will keep you warm and toasty whether you’re hanging inside with friends or out sightseeing. The top has a dropped shoulder sleeve that looks more oversized while the pants feature a wide-leg with a drawstring waist.. The set comes in 10 solid colors that are easy to pair with a slip-on sneaker or Ugg boots .

The soft ribbed knit of the Muse hoodie and sweatpant offers a lot of dimension to the duo. The set is lightweight enough that it can be worn over workout clothes without any bulkiness. The high-waisted joggers pair well with the cropped hoodie and offer a more chic silhouette.

You’ll be comfortable from head to toe with this ultra-soft pullover and pant set. The pants have a classic ‘70s wide-leg silhouette accompanied by an elastic waistband, while the pullover has a polo-inspired collar and a slightly cropped hem. An all-white set never goes out of style and will look great with a white sneaker .

The name tells you everything you need to know. The Coziest Cashmere Blend hoodie and jogger are ultra-soft. The fabric is warm yet breathable and the fact that it’s a blend gives you peace of mind that it won’t be ruined in the washing machine.

Traveler editors swear by Lunya's washable silk pajamas and cashmere Travel Set . The brand’s Silksweats complete its holy trinity of comfort. With a sherpa interior and thermoregulating abilities, you'll be comfortable without overheating in this set. Bonus: Both pieces are reversible so you can have two looks for one.

There's something to be said for a zip-up sweatshirt, even if they've largely been replaced by pullovers of late. For one, if your temperature flips from chilly to warm, you can regulate without bothering your seatmate while trying to take off your hoodie. We're a fan of the sweatpants, too: the deep pockets, cuffed ankles, and cashmere fabric are all plusses.

A new addition to OV's ultra-soft, lightweight, and durable CloudKnit line-up : this boxy T-shirt with a slightly cropped fit. It comes in charcoal, navy, mocha, fog white, and jasmine blue, all of which will match your go-to black leggings or joggers .

Awarded one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2020, I was eager to put on Cozy Earth's ultra-soft joggers, and am happy to report they lived up to the hype. Made of a mix of premium viscose from bamboo, acrylic, and spandex, they're smooth and cool to the touch, and have a loose but not baggy fit. I've worn them a ton on WFH days, and would happily fly in them. Snag a matching pullover if you like the matching set look.

San Francisco–based Quince launched a maternity collection, which includes a nursing-friendly long sleeve and lounge joggers with an adjustable drawstring waistband. All of the collection's pieces are made with renewable materials like Tencel lyocell, a biodegradable fiber made from wood pulp; mulberry silk, a hypoallergenic and thermoregulating fabric; the company's SuperSoft fabric, a blend of recycled polyester and tencel; and sustainably- and humanely-sourced Mongolian cashmere.

Outdoor Voices’ All Day hoodie and sweatpants set really is made to wear from dusk to dawn. It aims to be the softest pair of sweats you will ever wear, and stacks up, with a CloudKnit fabric that feels as cozy as your most worn-in pair of pajamas. The sweatpants are high-rise and more fitted toward the bottom to give the most flattering look possible, too. The pieces can be bought individually and come in six different colors, from neutral charcoal to a rich Kalamata purple.

While former Traveler editor Jessica Puckett's favorite cashmere set has since sold out, Cuyana's Pima outfit is another great option for plane travel and lounging, particularly in warmer environments, as the material is soft, smooth, and breathable.

Former Traveler editor Corina Quinn turned us on to Vuori's DreamKnit Collection hoodie and jogger set. “The DreamKnit feels like a cloud—it's so soft and cozy, yet lightweight, so you don't get too hot or too cool in them,” she says. “On top of that, because there are a few different models of jogger pants and tops, my friends and I have all found a model that's flattering for us.” For a pair of sweats that make you feel like you’re wearing a real outfit without actually doing so, Vuori’s unbelievably soft, stretchy sets are an easy pick.

Friend + Folk is a size- and gender-inclusive brand that prioritizes a limited carbon footprint, and puts it into practice by way of free carbon neutral shipping, recyclable and plastic-free packaging, limited batch-production, and more. The Joon joggers are a favorite—the fit is roomy and comfortable yet still tailored, and the zippered pockets are ideal for stashing AirPods, lip balm, and other odds and ends without worrying they'll fall out as you dash through the airport. Pair them with the Perry pullover and you've got a new airport uniform.

Lululemon may be best known for its leggings and workout wear, but don't skip over the brand's loungewear. This set is made out of a smooth Softstreme material that is stretchy and feels smooth against your skin. It's a great loungewear set to wear if you run hot.

We love this Madewell number, made of a fleece-like Superbrushed terry fabric. Wide legs and a loose fit make it just the kind of thing we want to wear on long travel days, and the patch pockets are much appreciated. Since it does have tank top-style straps, bring a cardigan or other added layer for the plane.

Some loungewear is better suited for inside wear, like this cozy ribbed shorts set. Wear the pullover, with its bell sleeves and slit in the back, over leggings for long-haul flights. The stretchy shorts have a fairly short inseam, so they'll likely be more comfortable as a sleeping short or loungewear piece to change into when you arrive at your hotel or rental house.

This two-piece set might be the closest thing to sleepwear on this list, and yet is still cute enough to feel confident while wearing through the airport. It comes in a dozen colors, from basic heather gray to bold indigo blue, and pairs slouchy, relaxed fit pants with a scoop-neck button-up henley.

Sure, all sweatpants are designed to be comfortable, but the cotton, modal, and spandex fabric Knix uses takes things up a notch. The smooth, cooling, and slightly stretchy fabric feels fantastic against skin and looks a bit more put-together than typical sweatpant material.

Most loungewear tends to follow the same cut, so we appreciate Monos, a luggage brand , shaking things up when delving into clothing. This set is as soft as any sweatpants out there, with a mid-length wide-leg pant and a short sleeve V-neck tee that's just slightly cropped.

Anything labeled Signaturesoft nails both the rest day and flying-comfortably mood we're going for. The top and bottom have a streamlined shape and the sweatpants are tapered at the ankle. Both pieces are made of a comfortable rayon, acrylic, and spandex mix, so you’ll feel cozy while still looking put together. The sweatshirt and sweatpants can be purchased individually and come in nearly a dozen colors should you want to mix and match, and the sweatshirt passes the video-conferencing-chic test, in that it looks more like a standard sweater than workout wear.

Not a hoodie person? You might like this cowl-neck top, which comes with cropped pants, both made of a super soft jersey and spandex fabric. Shop the set in gray, sky blue, strawberry, or buttercream, and wear it on your next overnight flight to feel like you're in pajamas.

You may never want to put on pajamas again after wearing Softwear's Lounge Set. The fabric is buttery soft inside and out. Both the pullover and joggers are tailored and fitted with a clean silhouette—the top could pass for a normal sweater—while still being ultra soft. Plus, it’s long-lasting: The sustainable fabric is pilling-resistant and made to keep its shape after every wear.

Made for pregnant or nursing moms, this Everly Grey set is designed to fit a baby bump and make nursing easier with side openings on the top. Made of stretchy fabric with cuffed ankles and wrists and pockets on the hips, it's a loose, ever-so-slightly tailored look you'll wear again and again. Order it in one of four neutral colors: black, charcoal, oyster pink, or denim blue.

I’m a financial advisor: 6 things the middle class never wastes money on.

There are those expenses that the middle class is more susceptible to spending too much money on, like overspending on dining out or going on too many Target shopping runs for new clothes. On the flip side of the coin, the middle class is careful not to make certain purchases with their hard-earned cash — and some of these items might surprise you.

Find Out: 9 Easy Ways To Grow Your Wealth in 2024

GOBankingRates spoke with Kyle Luetters, CFP and advisor at Moneta , to learn more about six types of expenses the middle class won’t spend their money on. Do you also find yourself steering clear of wasting money on these expenses ?

Brand New Vehicles

Middle-class Americans will emphasize buying used cars instead of new vehicles for their transportation needs. Luetters said middle-class individuals typically opt for cars that are around three to four years old or cars that come in “off lease.”

“The majority of a car’s depreciation occurs in those first three to four years, so avoiding that hit is a key to wasting money,” he explained.

Earning passive income doesn't need to be difficult. You can start this week.

High-End Memberships

There are certain types of subscriptions and memberships that middle-class Americans will have, such as streaming services like Netflix and a gym membership.

What they won’t have, Luetters said, are luxury subscriptions. Think upscale gyms or fitness clubs or landscaping services like lawn cutting and spraying.

Travel Sports

Those in the middle class with children are more likely to avoid wasting their money on participating in sports which have leagues that require traveling to other states to compete.

The simple reason for this, Luetters explained, is that kids’ activities are expensive and the cost increases exponentially once travel is involved.

Upscale Restaurants

Middle-class individuals rarely, if ever, make it a regular habit to dine out at Michelin star rating restaurants.

According to Luetters, their version of dining out will either mean heading to a fast-food eatery or a sit-down restaurant chain.

For You: How Can You Withdraw Money From a Bank Account? 3 Ways To Know

Private Tuition

“Middle-class folks usually will send their children to public school once they reach kindergarten age,” said Luetters.

“For many, they already help fund public schools through real estate taxes and paying private tuition on top of that would be something to not waste money on.”

Name Brands

When faced with the option to buy a name brand or a generic brand, the middle class will opt for generic over name brand. This is true of purchases across all sorts of departments, like grocery, household essentials and clothing.

Luetters said making the choice to shop generic or in-store brands saves the middle class money, often upwards of two-thirds the cost they’d spend on name brand items.

Generic brands are also proven to work just as well as name brands. Store brand OTC medication like aspirin, for example, must be able to meet guidelines set by the FDA such as having the same active ingredients as name brand medication .

We Handpicked 5 Comfy, Foolproof Airport Outfits You Can Wear All Year — Each Under $100 at Amazon

These airport-friendly looks are cozy, cute, and versatile.

Travel + Leisure / Madison Woiten

If you love shopping as much as we do, you know that planning your travel outfits for an upcoming trip can be a blast. Meticulously picking out the specific accessories you’ll bring along and imagining how amazing you’re going to look in each thought-out ensemble is half the fun of preparing for a trip. Too often, though, the actual airport outfit we wear becomes a bit of an afterthought; it’s not until you’ve landed in the TSA line that you realize just how uncomfortable and impractical your getup is for long travel days. 

To help put an end to last-minute, ill-suited airport outfits, we’ve compiled five functional and stylish looks that’ll keep you comfortable on your next flight. Whether you’re embarking on a business trip soon or have an all-inclusive resort stay on the horizon, there’s a practical-yet-stylish outfit for every kind of traveler on this list. The best part? Each look can be purchased on Amazon for — drumroll, please — under $100. 

• Big Dart Oversized Button-down Shirt , $27
• Libin Women's Wide Leg Pants , $23 
• Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Ballet Flat , $15
• Myfriday Small Crossbody Cell Phone Bag , $20 (originally $35)

Planning a travel day outfit for business trips can be trickier than, say, planning one for a family vacation, especially if your trip entails mingling with colleagues immediately after your plane lands. Thankfully, business casual style and comfort can coexist — with the right pieces, of course. 

This muted blue button-down shirt from Big Dart, $27, is flowy and perfectly oversized, allowing you to move freely while still looking corporate. To hone in on the effortlessly chic workwear vibe, we’ve paired it with these $23 roomy cream-colored pleated wide-leg pants . They’re made with a stretchy waffle knit fabric that’s wrinkle-resistant, ensuring you’ll look as put-together deplaning as you did when you first arrived at the baggage check-in counter. 

We’ve added some visual interest to the ‘fit with these snakeskin-patterned ballet flats , $15, which have memory foam padding in the insoles for added comfort. To top it all off, the $20 versatile faux leather crossbody bag is packed with multiple compartments big enough to hold your smartphone, wallet, and whatever makeup essentials you’ll need to freshen up. Since the bag is currently on sale, this business casual look rings up to just $85; but even if it returns to its original price of $35, this look maxes out at $93 total.

• Trendy Queen Women’s Oversized Pullover Sweatshirt , $22 (originally $28)
• Libin Women's Joggers , $33 (originally $37) 
• Skechers Women’s D’Lites Bright Sky , $26 (originally $65) 
• Lioscre Crescent Sling Bag , $16

If you gravitate toward athleisure for flights, we have you covered. This outfit takes the ease and comfort of activewear up a notch with thoughtful details and features meant to make your travel experience more enjoyable. 

Kicking off this look is this gray oversized fleece pullover , $22, from Trendy Queen. Rather than a crew neck, it’s constructed with a modern ribbed turtleneck perfect for keeping you warm on chilly flights. Pair it with these stretchy black Libin joggers , $33, for additional comfort. They’re wrinkle-free, lightweight, and come with an adjustable drawstring waistband.

Get a head start in the TSA line with these sneaker mules , on sale for $26 from Sketchers. They’re easy to slip on and off and have insoles constructed with the brand's patented Air-Cooled memory foam insoles for maximum comfort while walking in and out of the airport. Complete the look with this $16 black Lioscre crescent sling bag . Made out of a durable waterproof nylon material, it’s a sneaky way to add extra storage for your essentials when your carry-on is already filled to the brim. Considering you’ll want to wear these pieces over and over again, this outfit is a steal at just $98.

• Ysw Women's Bomber Jacket , $24 with on-site coupon (originally $30) 
• Hanes Women’s Originals Cotton Midi Dress , $18 (originally $26)
• Odoly Women's Suede Clogs , $24 (originally $34)
• Dora & Liz Women’s Leather Backpack , $30 

For those who put style forward no matter the occasion — whether it be a glitzy night out or an 18-hour international flight — we’ve compiled an outfit that’s casual, comfy, and undeniably cute from head to toe for just $97. 

We love this comfy $24 bomber jacket for how easily it can be dressed up or down. You can wear it on the plane to keep warm and use it throughout your trip as an outfit finisher for jeans, dresses, and everything in between. Speaking of dresses, this 100-percent cotton midi dress from Hanes, $18, is a fabulous essential to have in your closet regardless of how often you actually travel; thanks to its simple T-shirt silhouette, it can act as a blank slate of sorts for all different looks. 

To get you in and out of TSA as quickly as possible, we’ve thrown in this $24 pair of suede clogs . Made with an adjustable buckle strap and an arch-supporting cork footbed, these slides are easy to slip on and off. Completing this outfit is this leather backpack , $30,from brand Dora & Liz. Equipped with multiple organizational compartments, tons of storage room, and a removable shoulder strap, it’s a functional option that doesn’t skimp on style. 

• Sarin Mathews Air Essentials Jumpsuit , $41
• Dr. Scholl's Shoes Women's Luna Sneakers , $0 (originally $70)
• Etronik Weekender Duffel Bag , $20 (originally $30)

If your Google history is full of searches for “elevated basics,” then look no further than this tonal-neutral outfit. We’re building this look around this no-fuss, one-and-done sleeveless jumpsuit from Sarin Mathews, $41 in the shade Apricot. It’s made with a soft, stretchy, breathable fabric, and it has wide legs that promote airflow. The adjustable drawstring waistband can be undone for extra comfort, while the side pockets can stash your ID, passport, lip balm, and beyond.

To keep your feet happy on long-haul flights, we’ve paired the jumpsuit with these $30 perforated Luna slip-on sneakers from podiatrist-beloved brand Dr. Scholl’s. They’re made with comfort insoles that provide extra cushion and support and are aerated with tiny holes throughout the upper for added breathability. 

We’re finishing the outfit with this trendy cream quilted weekender bag , on sale for $20 from Etronik. The biggest bag on this list, it features a zippered ventilated shoe compartment, multiple individual pockets, and a removable toiletry bag. It’s big enough to hold everything you’d need for a weekend trip away, yet five-star reviewers like this one are happy to report that it fits within carry-on size restrictions .

If you know, you know: There’s nothing quite as miserable as the gust of hot air that wraps around you the second you step off a plane. You kept your cool — literally and figuratively — during the flight, only to be met with hot temperatures and sticky humidity, causing you to sweat through what you thought was an appropriate travel day outfit.

To help you beat the heat, we created a $90 breezy airport outfit perfect for beach trips and warm-weather destinations. This neutral two-piece knit lounge set from Anrabess, $48, is soft and cozy, but one five-star reviewer reported that it’s also breathable and lightweight, with “just the right amount of thickness” to stay comfy mid-flight. Plus, each piece can be worn separately with other tops and bottoms, adding versatility to the rest of your travel wardrobe.

For footwear, we opted for open-toed slides over sneakers. This gorgeous $16 pair from Soda Shoes is lightweight and perfectly complements any resort outfits you plan on sporting during your stay. And to bring the warm neutral theme home, we’re finishing this outfit with one of our favorite crossbody bags. This $26 sling bag from Bostanten touts an adjustable strap, five pockets, and five slots for carrying your credit cards and ID. Made with soft, genuine leather, it’s a sleek addition to bring along on any excursions you have planned.
