As one of those people who starts thinking about travel outfits many days in advance, I'm constantly bookmarking inspiration when I see it because coming up with the perfect travel outfit isn't easy—as you know. No matter what season it is, you're probably going to be hot and cold at some point within the same day, so layers are important. There are also factors to consider such as being comfortable, looking polished, and where you're going when you exit the plane (or train or automobile).
Selfishly, I started off by compiling these outfit ideas for myself, but we all have to travel, don't we? Now, I'm sharing my favorite findings with the internet so we can all have an easier time prepping for travel. No matter what curveballs your travel day throws at you, if you look and feel good, I strongly believe that your day will be better. So yeah, travel-day outfits are important. Scroll on to start planning yours along with me, starting with a few of the most wearable 2025 outfit trends we have so far. (Just for fun, I added some of my go-to travel gear at the end.)
The Outfit: Long Lightweight Coat + White Tee + Dark-Wash Barrel Jeans + Flat Boots
This outfit would look good year-round, but it's especially chic in the spring and summer months. The length of the coat and the wash of the jeans make it all look very put-together.

The Outfit: Trench Coat + Sweatshirt + Jeans + Colorful Sneakers
No matter how casual the outfit, if you put a trench coat on over it, you'll look chic. I'm loving trenches with sneakers lately.

A great way to make a hoodie look more elevated is by wearing it with an oversize blazer—layers, layers, layers.

The Outfit: Oversize Coat + Sweatsuit + Chunky Sneakers
For the longest travel days, wear the sweatsuit. Even better, throw a blanket coat on over it and add chunky sneakers for trekking through the never-ending airport terminals.

The Outfit: Black Sweater + Sweater Around the Waist + Cigarette Pants + Mary Janes
I love how sleek and elegant a fitted sweater and cigarette pants look for a travel day. Bonus points for the extra sweater tied around the waist. If you're going for the French-girl look, Mary Janes or ballet flats will help you achieve it.

The Outfit: Suede Jacket + Long-Sleeve Tee + Jeans + Boots
I don't typically love to wear suede or leather jackets on travel days, but this outfit is so good that I couldn't resist including it. If you're worried about damaging the jacket, a barn jacket would make a great swap.

The Outfit: Maxi Coat + Sweater + White Tee + Leggings + Suede Sneakers
If I'm going to wear leggings on a travel date, there's a 100% chance I'll also be wearing a long coat. The suede sneakers are the perfect finishing touch to dress the leggings up a bit.

The Outfit: Black Trench + Striped Cardigan + Flared Jeans
If you have to go somewhere as soon as you arrive at your destination, a black trench, a striped sweater, and jeans are a fail-proof combination that works for a variety of occasions.

The Outfit: Bomber Jacket + Cardigan + Flared Jeans
I love a cardigan outfit on a travel day, and wearing one under a bomber jacket looks especially 2025. This outfit would work with any denim trend, but flared jeans feel especially fresh right now.
