Pants
Barrel-shaped trousers we’re obsessed with…
There’s nothing we love more than roomy pants you can spend all day in. These menswear-inspired trousers have a slouchy, yet elegant silhouette you can easily dress up or down. We recommend pairing it with a snug long-sleeve tee or a cozy knit sweater and booties.
Lightweight cargo pants that barely feel like pants…
We turn to cargo pants whenever we want to make more of a statement or simply want a few more pockets to our name. These twill cargo pants are lightweight and have six pockets spacious enough to all your essentials while you travel. They’re also available in three new colors, just in time for fall.
A maxi skirt that’s easy to dress up or down…
With its silk material and high side slit, this maxi skirt is the epitome of luxury-meets-comfort. It can go casual with a tee and sneakers, but it transforms into evening wear with a going-out top and kitten heels.
Low-rise jeans we actually like wearing…
It’s not every day we hop off our High-Rise Jean Train, but there’s just something about these low-rise bowed jeans. They hit right at your hip and create a loose barrel shape that’s widest around your ankle. If you’ve been wanting to try out the low-rise trend, these are a comfy way to start.
Our go-to pants for fall and winter…
These barrel jeans come in 15 colors (yes, really), so you can make any kind of statement you want. They’re mid-rise, so they’re easy to tuck shirts into, and the ankle length looks chic with boots for the fall and winter. They run large, so you might want to consider sizing down.
Jackets
A jacket that won’t weigh you down…
We love this jacket for long airplane rides because it's oversized and not too heavy, so it’s ideal for layering over your sweatshirt. You can button up the funnel neck in case the cabin is freezing, or fold it down and wear it as a wide collar. Both are equally chic.
A military-style jacket that *is* the outfit…
Between the ruffles, the structured silhouette, and the slightly puffed shoulders, there’s so much to love about this Kate Moss-inspired military jacket. We love it for travel because we can wear it with everything from jeans to a maxi dress and still feel dressed to the nines.
A glamorous faux fur coat…
Whether you want to make a statement or just need something warm, this boxy faux fur jacket ranks highly on our comfort, versatility, and style scales. Pair it with an LBD on a night out, or with jeans for a cozy, I-just-threw-this-on type of vibe.
A showstopper of a coat…
Put it in the Louvre. This longline coat isa work of art, from the crushed velvet material to the faux fur collar and cuffs. It’s definitely an investment, but you could pair this with literally anything and make it a capital-O Outfit.
A jacket that feels like a blanket…
We know why this jacket is called a “cocoon coat.” It’s the perfect thing to wrap yourself up in during a long flight, but it’s also nice enough to wear out as an evening coat.
Accessories
A stylish purse that fits all your stuff…
We love a bag that’s equal parts functional and stylish, especially when traveling. This convertible tote has an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, and the distressed leather makes it look effortlessly cool. It’s also spacious enough to carry a 13-inch laptop, books, wallet, phone, keys, makeup bag…you get the idea.
A Y2K-inspired shoulder bag…
While this bag is smaller than the leather tote above, it’s still one of our favorites for travel. You can wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody, which comes in handy when you’re navigating large crowds. It comes in six colors, and the Y2K-inspired design is perfectly on-trend.
A suede option for a boho look…
This slouchy suede tote is peak Free People-boho aesthetic. It’s roomy enough for travel, has a zipper to keep everything safe, and comes in a range of colors — from bold hot pink to several neutral browns.
A shoulder bag with lots of pockets…
Large open totes and bucket bags are nice, but sometimes you want your everyday purse to be a bit more organized. This suede shoulder bag has multiple interior and exterior pockets for all of your essentials.
