Let’s face it—all too often, travel is not so glamorous. With flight cancellations, long TSA lines, and schlepping luggage, you may not feel chic throughout it all, but your travel look can still be. With the busy holiday season approaching and winter vacations on the horizon, we drew inspiration from a few of our favorite celebrities to bring you the best travel outfits for women, making your next excursion all the more stylish.
Comfort is often top of mind, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for just sweatsuits or leggings. Katie Holmes showed how to wear refined layers recently on the streets of New York, opting for a trench coat, wide-leg pants, and ballerina flats, alongside her burgundy weekender bag—a cool spin on a relaxed travel outfit that still looks put together. Alternatively, Sophie Turner went the sporty route with a simple hoodie, track pants, and Puma sneakers for a stylish high-low look, while Bella Hadid sported a punchy striped sweater and a pair of classic blue jeans—demonstrating the many directions one can take.
Ahead, shop 13 best travel outfits for women that will ensure your journey is just as good as those vacation looks you packed.
Trench Dressing
When you’re looking to travel with a little more style, look to Katie Holmes for inspiration. By using a trench coat as her focal piece, she creates an effortless travel look by layering a silk button-up shirt over a tank and pairing it with slinky trousers, square-toe ballet flats, and a pendant necklace. It’s polished, comfortable, and perfect for your next getaway.
A Versatile Mix
Great travel looks don’t need to be overcomplicated. Amanda Seyfried’s outfit combination is smart and easy to replicate. It’s one you’re sure to keep wearing throughout your trip, too. Start with a soft black tailored jacket and layer it with a fitted turtleneck and relaxed, flared jeans. An investment travel bag (hers is from Bottega Veneta) and a versatile flat boot complete the jet-set-ready look.
The Modern Sweatsuit
Sometimes, a pair of sweatpants is all you need. Sophie Turner pairs a gray zip-up hoodie with wide-leg black sweats and complements them with street-style-approved sneakers from Puma to balance it all out. From curbside to the arrivals gate, you’ll be comfortable throughout the duration of your trip.
Elevated Leggings
As Lindsey Lohan proves, you can still rely on your leggings as your tried-and-true airport go-to, but try elevating them with a few classic wardrobe essentials. Style them with a striped button-down shirt over a T-shirt, a pair of white sneakers, and a leather duffle.
Refined Layers
Lean on the best basics for your travel attire. Miley Cyrus demonstrates that even a simple T-shirt and relaxed jeans can look great while on the move. Style them with a classic trench coat (we love how she opted for green here rather than traditional khaki), then add a pair of ballet flats and a tote bag that can fit your laptop, travel-size beauty products, and more. Coordinating aviator shades adds an edgy final touch.
Ladylike Twists
If you want to look sleek and polished upon touchdown, try this ladylike-inspired combination, as seen on Emma Watson. A stylish knitted jacket, layered on top of a floral dress, means you can go straight to sightseeing once you disembark that red-eye flight (and before your hotel room is ready for check-in). Styling the look with a feminine, walkable heel is just as smart as opting for other travel-friendly accessories, such as her Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a roomy leather bag.
Classics Revamped
When Alexa Chung steps out, we take notice. Here, she puts her signature spin on all the travel classics upon arrival in the Côte d’Azur. A khaki trench coat, styled with a lace-trimmed camisole and straight-leg white jeans, is all you need. By adding oversized black sunnies, leather slip-on shoes, and the iconic Boat and Tote bag by L.L.Bean, she brings a laid-back, cool sensibility to airport fashion.
The Right Stripes
From the Uber to curbside check-in, Bella Hadid proves a striped sweater can be your hero travel piece. Wear yours with a relaxed pair of dark denim, cinched with a suede belt, then accessorized with Gucci loafers. A structured tote bag is a no-fail personal item, ensuring all your key essentials are within easy reach. The croc-effect leather on this DeMellier tote adds an extra-luxe feel.
Matching Sets
If you want to get some shut-eye during an international flight, go for pure comfort. Loungewear can still look stylish if you choose a matching knit set, as Rachel Brosnahan does. When worn with crisp white sneakers, a classic ball cap, and your favorite overcoat, it’s a low-effort look with maximum impact.
All Black
Why make things overly complicated when travel already is? Priyanka Chopra shows how simplicity and monochrome dressing can be a winning outfit formula. Her simple tank top and loose, wide-leg trousers demonstrate how comfort can be a priority without sacrificing style. Don’t forget to bring a long cashmere cardigan to ward off in-flight chills and an oversized, travel tote bag to complete the look.
Summer-Coded Staples
Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or bus, let Kendall Jenner’s smart travel fit be your guide when en route to a warm-weather climate. Pair a halter top and capri pants with a pair of jelly sandals for a trend-forward approach to travel style, then stow away a cardigan for extra warmth when needed. Frequent fliers take note: Invest in a leather weekender bag (especially one from the Row) that will last a lifetime. It’s one luggage piece that will only get better with time.
Elevated Essentials
As a seasoned globe-trotter, Julianne Moore is constantly moving from one city to another and certainly knows how to look pulled together while doing so. Take notes from her Bottega Veneta look and play with texture. If you’re planning to work with only one color, a chunky cardigan and comfortable trousers are easy foundation pieces; from there, keep accessories classic and minimal.
Foundations With a Pop
For seasoned travelers, layering is second nature. Elizabeth Olsen’s airport look is a master class for beginners. All you need is a tailored jacket, jeans, and a slip-on shoe for a simple outfit formula. These are all pieces you can wear over and over and style in a multitude of ways, even upon arriving at your destination. The pièce de résistance, however, is the bold-colored luggage.
