32 Items From Zara and J.Crew That Are Perfect for Fall Travel

August's arrival has me finally starting to think about fall. Specifically, I'm pondering my fall travel plans and what to pack. I do the bulk of my seasonal shopping when I have a trip ahead of me. Whether that's wise or not, I don't know. But I do at least attempt to shop for things I know I'll wear throughout the coming months.
Zara has historically been one of my go-to brands for pre-trip shopping, and I've recently added J.Crew to that list (you may have heard the retailer's offerings have been quite good lately). While perusing both sites this week, I couldn't help but think about what I'd like to wear for my future fall travels. These 32 items are it.
Below you'll find lightweight jackets and sweaters, skirts, shoes, accessories, and more—all of which would be ideal for cozy autumn trips. Scroll to start shopping because the early bird gets the worm.
Zara
I plan on going up a couple sizes in these so that they have a similar fit to the model's pair.
J.Crew
For wearing this fall and every other fall from here on out.
You need this dress if your travel philosophy is "comfort is key."
A great skirt for night or day, and it won't take up much precious suitcase space.
If you're someone who packs a lot of neutrals, these will be the perfect addition to your travel wardrobe.
This is 100% cotton, so it could even work for more mild days.
If you're into the Western aesthetic, this shirt is for you.
This will certainly come in handy for more rugged trips.
