I Cracked the Code to the Perfect Travel Outfit

The elusive “perfect travel outfit”—it’s something we’ve discussed, debated, and broken down quite a bit before. What does an effortless yet polished and, above all else, comfy travel outfit really look like, and why does it seem nearly impossible to accomplish? Non-stretch high-rise jeans are out of the question, no matter how long you’re in transit. On the other hand, it’s this writer’s opinion that wearing straight-up leggings isn’t the most stylish option, though I’ll admit it may be the comfiest.

After countless flights and thousands of miles flown, I think I’ve finally found the answer to the travel outfit conundrum: knit sets. The matching sweater-and-pants sets just might be the stylish solution to all those times you wore sweatpants but ended up feeling less than put-together upon arrival. With so many fun, colorful sets to choose from right now, there’s no reason not to feel ultra comfy whether or not you’re traveling (they make pretty great loungewear, too). We love them styled with simple white sneakers and a few dainty jewelry staples. From rainbow stripes to cheery colors and clean neutrals, shop the coolest knit sets below.
