These Lightweight, Linen Items Are My Secret to Easy Travel Outfits for Summer — and They’re Up to 50% Off

As a travel writer, being comfortable and feeling chic are two important factors when adding to my wardrobe. When I’m traveling, I’m all about lightweight, flowy items that are easy to pack, but also look great as I’m wandering around new destinations.

Lately, more often than not, you’ll find me in some form of linen pants or a matching set that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the activity. After declaring this my “European Summer,” I’ve already been island-hopping in Greece, made my way around parts of Lake Como, and ate my way through Ireland — all while happily wearing comfortable lightweight clothing that can easily be steamed or hung up near a hot shower and instantly ready to go right out of my suitcase.

With summer travel in full swing (and my itinerary showing no signs of slowing down), I’m making sure to stock up on all things lightweight and linen. Luckily, Amazon has tons of breezy summer clothes on sale now, perfect for kicking off (or continuing!) your summer adventures. To help, I’ve listed the 15 pieces of clothing currently in my Amazon cart below, with deals of up to 50 percent off.

BcoFui Linen Wide Leg Pants

Amazon


These drawstring pants are loose and cropped at just the right length to wear throughout the summer. I love the paper bag-style waist that adds a fun stylish detail to these otherwise sleek and simple pants. Available in 14 colors and prints, these versatile pants also have pockets for added convenience. Many shoppers agree that they are “lightweight” and even “super flattering,” which is all we need in a great pair of summer travel pants. Plus, they’re currently on sale for just $30.

Zesica Women’s Boho Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress

Amazon


This dress popped up on my TikTok a few times before I finally caved and bought it, but I’m so glad I did. I love how stylish the straight neckline and tie-up ribbon straps are, plus the fact that it’s the perfect ankle length so I can wear it with a variety of shoes. Available in a whopping 24 different colors, it’s easy to grab your favorite hue or to branch out and snag something out of the ordinary for your closet. And although not made of linen, the viscose fabric is lightweight and comfortable, perfect for summer travel.

Coofandy Men’s Cotton Linen Short Sleeve Shirt

Amazon


This casual short-sleeve shirt is made using a mix of linen and rayon that’s both breezy and quick-drying, ideal for those travel days when you can’t help but get sweaty. Fitting true to size, it’s soft, lightweight, and easy to iron or steam. On sale and available in 28 colors and prints, it’s one of those shirts that will immediately find its way into your suitcase because of its versatile nature and serious comfort level.

Zesica Summer Loose Sleeveless Jumpsuit

Amazon


No outfit is quite as easy or chic to throw on as a linen jumpsuit. This one features a linen and viscose blend, which means the fabric will be lightweight and comfortable, perfect for throwing on with sneakers for sightseeing or pairing with jewlery and heels for a night out. With cute details like tie straps and hemmed legs, this may quickly become one of your favorite travel outfits. I need it in black to have an easy neutral option, but because it’s on sale, I might have to grab it in a fun statement color (like this watermelon hue) as well.

Elesol Women’s Cotton Linen Set

Amazon


My love of matching sets and the collection I’ve amassed is a secret to no one — but I’m always on the lookout for more. This option is extra versatile because of its long-sleeved button-up top paired with comfy shorts, perfect for wearing as a set or individually. Toss the long-sleeve over your top when it gets chilly at night, pair the shorts with a short-sleeve when it’s blisteringly hot out, or wear them together as a cover-up for your next beach day. And, made of 100 percent cotton, you know that each piece will feel soft and lightweight.

Dokotoo Women’s Color Block Button-down

Amazon


Looking for a button-down that’s anything but ordinary? This colorblock version from Dokotoo is a great way to add extra flair to your outfit. I love how easy it is to mix and match with the other items in my closet, plus how much more fun it makes jean shorts and a basic tank top. It’s also made of 100 percent cotton, so you can buy it knowing that it will be soft and breezy, too. The fact that it’s currently 50 percent off doesn’t hurt, either!

Anrabess 2-piece Linen Matching Set

Amazon


While browsing Amazon, this tank top and matching pant set caught my eye. It’s cute and functional and currently 20 percent off making it a steal at just $40 for two pieces. Numerous shoppers found that this set kept them comfortable on hot days because of the lightweight linen and rayon blend fabric. Shorter people also liked the ankle length of the pants so that they didn’t look too long on them. And, you can easily wear either piece separately to get more out of your packed clothes.

BZB Women’s Summer Boho Maxi Skirt

Amazon


Whether you’ll be strolling along the beach or exploring the streets of a new city this summer, this flowy maxi skirt will keep you cool and comfortable. In fact, one shopper said the fabric is “comfortable, flows, and feels cool to the touch.” That’s exactly what I’m looking for in a lightweight summer skirt. Plus, it has pockets! The ruffled tiers add a pop of style and can pair easily with everything from sneakers to heels.

Eicolorte Bathing Suit Cover-up Tunic

Amazon


Summer equals beach adventures, which means that I’m stocking up on easy, breezy bathing suit cover-ups for boat hangs, lounging by the pool, and walks along the sand. This particular one caught my eye because you can tie it in several different ways, making it a multi-use piece of clothing (which is a huge bonus when you’re a devoted carry-on packer like I am). Available in a handful of colors, I love that it has flowy long sleeves for extra sun protection while still keeping you cool.

Halife Women’s Halter Side Slit Maxi Sun Dress

Amazon


This flattering halter maxi dress is loose and lightweight, perfect for hot summer days. Wear it for an easy day-to-night look, because you can pair it with sneakers or sandals for daytime wear or a pair of heels for hitting the town. With 19 different colors and prints to choose between, you’ll find an option that best suits your style — plus, at this low price of $27, you might even be able to add two to your cart. Shoppers love that the length is just at ankle height, making it a good option for shorter people, too.

Yocur Womens Lightweight Shorts

Amazon


A pair of easy-to-throw-on linen shorts is crucial to a solid summer wardrobe. Made with a cotton and linen blend, these are guaranteed to feel soft and light, even when it’s swelteringly hot outside. Many shoppers note that these shorts wash well, and they’ve been a perfect vacation staple for those headed to the beach. Available in many shades, they are casual and comfortable — but still make you look like you put in some effort while picking out your outfit.

Merokeety Women’s High Waist Pleated A-line Maxi Skirt

Amazon


During spring and summer (and honestly, all year in my opinion), floral skirts are the way to go. This Merokeety maxi skirt is simple, fun, and an easy way to add some pizazz for your vacation looks. Available in so many bright colors and prints, the elastic waistband allows it to fit as high or low on your body as you’d like, while the A-line design provides maximum flow and movement. Crop tops, lacy camis, and bandeau tops would all work well paired with it.

One of the most important closet staples is a classic linen button-down shirt. Great to wear unbuttoned as a beach coverup or buttoned as a stylish shirt on its own, a linen button-down is always a good idea to include in your suitcase.
