FYI: Amazon Has All the Travel Outfit Essentials You Need
If you’re heading to an island, you might consider a travel dress and stylish sandals so you can be ready to relax the second you arrive. Traveling for business? No problem. We found work-friendly leggings you can wear right to a meeting. If you run cold on flights or in the car but hate feeling sweaty when you arrive in a warmer climate, opt for breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics—and layer! We’ve also included a number of functional travel bags and shoes to complete your look.
And psst: If you’re scrambling with a trip being only a few days away, Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping was basically designed for last-minute packers!

Traveling in a dress may not sound appealing, but this maxi made out of a T-shirt fabric will change your mind. It’s easy and flowy, so you don’t have to worry about it cutting into your stomach on long-haul trips. It can be worn with sneakers or dressed up with sandals—and we love the affordable price and the rainbow of color options.
You can never have too many cardigans, especially if you’re constantly chilly. This lightweight option adds an extra layer that can help dress up a T-shirt and keep you warm if you’re stuck sitting under a vent or fan. It’s available in 20 colors and comes in sizes XS to 2XL.

Best Compression Leggings
Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket Legging
Compression leggings can help with circulation on planes—and we love that these have pockets and are size-inclusive. “The husband-and-wife team behind Girlfriend Collective (Gayle, a huge fan, told me about them) is making activewear more inclusive with this design that comes in sizes XS to 6XL,” Oprah said about this 2022 Favorite Thing. “The pieces are sweat-wicking, high-compression, and high-waisted, and 79 percent of the fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles.”
If you’ve ever struggled with retying your laces after getting through airport security, we feel you. We have several pairs of these slip-ons, and the heels pop right up the moment you step into them. (No need to fuss with laces or awkwardly bend over!) They’re also supportive enough if you need to hustle to make your flight.
This was one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2023, and it’s easy to see why. Trying to manage your luggage, purse, and water bottle can be a pain, but this small but mighty, hands-free water bottle holder can double as your crossbody purse.
Spanx is known for its formfitting shapewear, but the brand has also mastered the art of cozy-yet-stylish clothes made for running straight from the airport to a business dinner. Oprah included these pants on her 2022 Favorite Things list, saying: “When I tell you this set feels light as air, I’m not kidding. It’s my new leisure suit. The perfectly loose-and-lightweight fabric is like buttah!”
A neutral-colored, pashmina-style shawl is a must for any trip. The light extra layer is ideal for overly air-conditioned places or cool evenings—and it can even function as a blanket while you rest on the plane. This one comes in 12 colors to match several outfits, and it won’t take up much space in your carry-on.
For all of you master travelers who never check a bag, we see you and raise you the travel backpack of all travel backpacks. It has spots for sneakers, a laptop, and a whole weekend’s worth of clothes. It also has a built-in removable crossbody, so you don’t need to pack a smaller bag for when you get to your destination.
From Oprah’s 2023 Favorite Things list, these soft socks are a must-pack if you’re wearing sandals for travel but still want to keep your feet warm during the flight.
Designed as a recovery sandal for runners, these flip-flops offer more support than your standard flat pair. They’re cushioned and made from a patented foam base, making it easier to manage hard surfaces, like train station and airport floors. Plus, they come in an array of pretty patterned colors.
They may not be for everyone, but compression socks can help with blood flow on flights—and you might like them so much that you integrate them into your everyday life. They’re good for hiking, running, and even wearing at night if you’re on your feet a lot during the day. This affordable pack of six is under $20, and there are 40 pattern options.
Included on Oprah’s 2022 Favorite Things list, this tote carries everything you’ll need for a day trip or a weekend getaway. “Not too big or too small, this vegan suede tote is just the right size for your on-the-go loved one in need of a stylish solution,” says Oprah.
Loafers are on-trend right now, but leather pairs can take up a lot of real estate in your luggage and tend to be too stiff for long flights or drives. Opt for these soft-sided shoes that give the classic loafer look but in a breathable elastic knit material. Easy to slip on and off, they come in over 25 colors and patterns.
Keep your passport, wallet, phone, and tickets at the ready with this slim crossbody. It can be kept close and under a jacket, and has built-in RFID blockers, locking zippers, and a slash-resistant fabric to help keep your valuables safe.
These have pockets for your credit card, ID, and phone, and will keep you cool and comfortable. Made from a flexible fabric that is also water-resistant, these shorts are ideal for travelers who tend to overheat. They come in a dozen different shades and go up to a size 3X.
This nautical canvas tote from Oprah’s 2023 Favorite Things list is made for a weekend beach trip. It has multiple pockets for everything from your sunglasses to your iPad—and it’s roomy enough for an overnight stay.
