In 2026, travel style is defined by high-performance versatility that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing a polished silhouette. As travelers navigate the demands of long-haul flights, long days of sightseeing, and remote work on the go, brands have responded with multifunctional items that transition from the plane to your destination with comfort and performance. Our latest guide includes our picks for women & men on the go.
FOR HER
PINSPARK Short Sleeve + Wide Leg Tracksuit Set ($39.99)
Matching sets are an easy way to look put together en route to your destination.
I already enjoy some of Pinspark’s other loungewear items, and I will definitely travel in this flattering set which is as comfortable as pajamas, yet you can easily dress it up with a couple of necklaces, a belt, or a jacket if you’re heading somewhere right from the plane.
FOR HER
Beek Footwear Sandpiper Sneakers ($320, beekshop.com)
Yessss, I know these are pricey, but I was offered the chance to try them and wanted to share my experience.
The brand is California-based and women-founded, and each pair of shoes is hand-crafted in soft, high-quality leather. They also have a leather interior and molded arch insole for all the support you need. I put them on, and in minutes, they felt like I had been wearing them for years.
The brand has several styles, but the Sandpiper Sneakers are incredibly chic yet incredibly comfortable. They look cute with your loungy airport wear, are comfortable enough for hours and hours of sightseeing, and are perfectly stylish for a classy dinner. They are available in sizes 5-15 and in six colors. I love metallics, so I am all about the Platinum. For every pair sold, the brand donates meals to children in need, and has donated more than one million meals so far.
FOR HER
Pressie Horizon Stretch Bracelet ($78, Shoppressie.com)
A little glam is always nice when traveling, but who wants to fuss around with pieces you have to take on and off when you have so much to do and see?
This beautiful, waterproof, tarnish-free stretch bracelet goes on easily – no clasps!! – and you can wear it as long as your heart desires, from sightseeing to swimming. I also really like the brand’s lightweight Strata Huggies ($68) earrings add a touch of bling, and you can leave them on all week.
FOR HER
Planet Nusa Shelter1 Teddy Half Zip ($185, Planetnusa.com)
This Polartech Fleece sweater is a bit pricey for what I typically cover, but if you’re looking for an incredibly comfortable, well-made, and cozy travel sweater, this is it!
The Teddy Half Zip is super soft out of the box, but gets even softer with washing. The cut is loose and forgiving, but doesn’t look bulky, and you can adjust how it fits around the hips. Available in sizes XXS to XL and in Black, Chocolate Brown, and Beige.
FOR HIM
while on earth The Move Trainer Sneakers ($150, whileonearth.co)
while on earth is a brand founded by athletes, and their products are designed to be ultra comfortable, high-performance, and stylish.
The Move Trainer is their signature style and offers options for both men and women. They are packed with technical details to take you from the gym to sightseeing and everywhere in between. They are available in lots of chic color combos to suit both the understated customer and those who like to live out loud. They feel and look amazing and require no break-in time.
FOR HIM
Arcade Atlas Belt ($31.95, Amazon)
This performance-stretch belt does its job while offering all-day comfort from the airplane to hours of exploring.
The Arcade Atlas Belt is a lightweight, performance-stretch belt designed for all-day comfort on your journey or while sightseeing. With a contoured, metal-free buckle and recycled materials, it feels broken in from day one and passes through airport security easily.
The belt has a patented buckle system that opens and closes easily. It has no holes, yet it offers a perfect, customized fit. This TSA-friendly, machine-washable belt is available in lots of colors and patterns.
FOR HIM
Sockwell Compression Socks ($32.95 and up, Amazon)
Have you tried wearing compression socks while traveling? They are great for long trips because they help to improve circulation while you sit for hours on end. By gradually increasing pressure to support blood flow back to the heart, they can also reduce swelling and leg fatigue and help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis during travel.
Available in men’s and women’s sizes, Sockwell Socks come in lots of colors and patterns. They look great and are made in the US from a blend of merino wool and bamboo, making them comfortable to wear, no matter the temperature. I’ve been wearing them on planes for the past couple of years and won’t travel without them!
