The Best Wrinkle-Free Women’s Clothes for Travel, According to Frequent Fliers

You’ve tried packing cubes and rolling your shirts up Marie Kondo –style and yet, most likely, all your clothes still come out of your suitcase wrinkled when you reach your destination. Or maybe you have an important meeting right after landing , and your once-polished outfit looks rumpled after hours in economy . Like other travel dilemmas — finding a bag that’ll fit under the seat in front of you or trying to sleep on a transcontinental flight — arriving with a suitcase full of wrinkly clothes can be solved. To avoid pricey hotel dry-cleaning services, or risky sessions with your in-room ironing board, we asked nine women in the travel business to recommend the best pieces to wear and pack while you’re away.

Best wrinkle-free pants for travel

For travel pants that are comfortable, stylish and low-maintenance, Jeralyn Gerba, co-founder and editorial director of Fathom , likes easy pieces from Eileen Fisher . “She’s known for researching and developing materials that are responsible, sustainable, and high-performance while also being crazy chic,” says Gerba. “I love her uncrushable Tencel, a tree fiber textile produced with near zero waste — the drawstring pants and blazers look really good after long-haul flights.” The adjustable drawstring allows for in-flight comfort while the textured crepe lends them a sophisticated look.

A similar pair at a lower price point, these slim, drawstring pants are a favorite of Sarah Corsa, a trip designer at Journy . She likes that they’re “lightweight and rarely wrinkle.” Gerba also looks to Athleta for “casual basics with the occasional flair,” and says their athleisure pieces offer “a nice alternative to the straight-up sweats uniform” while traveling.

Outdoor Voices, makers of our favorite “sleek and tailored” sweatpants, are another frequent flier go-to for easy-to-wear pieces that’ll look fresh after a long journey. Journy co-founder Leiti Hsu, calls the RekTrek pants “the ultimate in comfort.” She says they “stay crisp from laundry cycle to laundry cycle” and “look way more pulled-together than yoga pants.”

“I have a few pairs of stretchy but tailored trousers from The Row that are incredibly comfortable and easy to pack,” says Jen Rubio, co-founder and chief-brand officer of Away . They’ll give an outfit more polish than a jogger-type pant while still being wrinkle-resistant and non-constricting on long flights. Rubio says she’ll pair hers with a T-shirt and leather jacket.

Based in San Francisco, the clothing start-up Betabrand sells pieces based on crowd-sourced designs, like these trouser-style pants that come highly recommended by Larissa Hayden, deputy director of events at Atlas Obscura . She likes that they’re crafted “with comfort, durability, and professionalism in mind,” and have all the comfort of stretchy sweats.

Best wrinkle-free leggings for travel

If you’d rather go the leggings route, Melissa Hie of Girl Eat World swears these jeggings “look exactly like jeans but are very stretchy and comfortable like leggings.” She says, “I would just pair this with a comfortable button-up shirt if I need to look somewhat put together straight off the plane.”

For leggings that can be dressed up, Hsu likes this expensive-looking (but actually quite affordable) faux -leather pair. “Tuck them in your carry-on for a sexy go-to that [can go from] day to dinner in any city,” she says. “They’re secretly lined with cozy fleece on the inside; all the better to brave your next winter dining adventure.”

Best wrinkle-free tops for travel

Travelers love Uniqlo’s affordable and durable pieces for comfort and style. Hie says their button-downs are perfect for wearing with leggings to easily look put-together. And while she normally prefers natural fabrics, when it comes to travel she says, “I go with polyester-blend fabrics since they don’t wrinkle as much.” Like polyester, rayon is far more wrinkle-resistant than cotton or linen.

Also polyester, but with a silky feel and sweet ruffle details, this packable top is one of Corsa’s favorites. “It can be worn in basically any climate, for tons of occasions,” she says. “It never wrinkles and still looks new after years.”

Gerba calls Uniqlo’s warming Heattech turtleneck, an essential layering piece for cold-weather travel or even ice-cold planes, “basic, but solid.” In warmer climates, Stephanie Park, co-founder and vice-president of operations at Journy, likes the brand’s AIRism line. “Not only do the breathable base layers release heat and moisture to adapt to different weather conditions, but they also remain remarkably wrinkle-free, even after long flights,” she says.

According to Rubio, Theory’s “crepe knits will never wrinkle, no matter how much of an overpacker you are,” which is good news if you need to look professional right after a red-eye flight.

Best wrinkle-free dresses for travel

Simple, packable slip dresses were called out by several travelers as highly versatile items. Hie opts for colorful ones from Singapore-based, women-founded brand Love, Bonito. “They are made out of a polyester blend and [don’t] t get wrinkled even if they are straight out of the suitcase,” she says. “I love them because they are very basic, which means I can pair them with accessories to dress them up or down.”

Rubio counts her black Nili Lotan slip dress as ones of her perfect travel pieces that’s “practical and comfortable, yet stylish and versatile so that my look can easily transition from day to night.” She’ll wear it with a blazer and loafers on the plane, and switch to boots once she lands. And while it may seem like a fussy pick, Gerba says she frequently packs silk because “it looks good, weighs nothing, and its wrinkles fall out easily.”

For a fraction of the price, Journy trip designer Lauren Witte likes this bright Everlane wrap dress which, she says, is also “made out of wrinkle-resistant fabric,” and can work for both casual and dressier events.

If slip dresses aren’t your style, Hsu says she’s “obsessed with Wolford’s selection of stretchy dresses that roll up almost as tiny as hosiery.” Since it takes up barely any space she says they’re the ideal “just-in-case” dresses to pack if the need to dress up arises, and she calls her simple, black sheath “a lifesaver.”

Best wrinkle-free layers for travel

Like the Eileen Fisher pants recommended by Gerba, this blazer is made of Tencel and can withstand long flights and not-so-tidy packing. Plus, as several of our travel pros noted, blazers play well with basics like lightweight tops and cami dresses, giving you some mix-and-match outfits for your journey without having to overpack.

“A black versatile cashmere wrap is a must-have for my busy travel schedule,” says Elizabeth Fuller, director of marketing and partnerships at Black Tomato . “It doubles as a blanket on a chilly flight and won’t wrinkle if you stow it in your carry on to go through security.” She likes the very elegant. fringed Loro Piano version, but if you’re on a budget, the under-$100 silk-blended wrap from cashmere startup Naadam will also do the trick.

Like Fuller, Hsu thinks quality cashmere is a worthwhile travel investment. “Compared with other fabrics, cashmere doesn’t require washing all that often and is naturally temperature moderating,” she says, making it a natural fit for an on-the-go lifestyle. Her favorites are classic cuts with unique details from brands like Reformation and Rag & Bone .

Want to look chic for travel, trips to the office or Sunday brunch while feeling as comfy as you did in your sweats on Zoom? It’s possible, thanks to Eileen Fisher clothing, the brand that’s shed its dowdy image and evolved to be exactly what women of all ages want right now: simple, flattering separates made of quality fabrics, all manufactured and sold in a sustainable business model . We looked at the brand with fresh eyes when multiple women in our office started wearing this selling-like-hotcakes top , and discovered that the company’s simple styles included tall and petite sizing, a clothes recycling program and, perhaps most importantly, many, many trousers with elastic waistbands.

Below, we’ve gone over the new crop of EF fashion for late summer and early fall and have selected our favorite pieces to shop—because while we love Barbiecore , we’re opting for a more elevated minimalist style when it comes to meeting the boyfriend’s parents.

The 15 Most Comfortable Bras for All Sizes

1. Organic Cotton Gauze Box-top

It’s so lightweight we can wear it on the hottest days and not show up looking like a puddle. And the box shape, a fan favorite at Eileen Fisher, is cropped enough to cover our waistband but not make us look shapeless. Another plus is that it’s perfect to layer over a longer cami or long-sleeved top.

Size range: XXS to 3X

2. Organic Cotton Gauze Wide-leg Pant

These matching trousers coordinate with the EF box top above, but they’d also look kicky with a fitted T-shirt. Whatever you wear them with, they have an elegant drape and are your best friend in comfort due to the 1.5-inch elastic drawstring waist.

Size range: PP to 3X

3. Silk Georgette Crepe Shirred-back Top

Three words for you: washable silk crepe. We adore crepe for its pleasant nubby feel and its knack for hanging on the body without clinging and moving nicely when you do. That gathering on the back is so chic, we’ll be layering this over a tissue turtleneck well into fall.

4. Washable Stretch Crepe High-waisted Pant

The perfect pair of pants to wear everywhere from a casual date (with a vintage band t-shirt and statement earrings) to a job interview (with a flowing silk shirt and jacket). Comfortable, high-waist enough that there’s no uncomfortable midsection exposure and stretchy enough to relax in, extra glass of wine be damned. All that and machine washable in three endlessly coordinating tones: graphite, ocean and black.

5. Organic Cotton Slubby Rib Knit Crew Neck Tank

Ever since we saw this fun layering tutorial on Instagram, we’re seeing this medium-weight tank top as a three-season essential: Wear it on its own on the hottest days, over a T-shirt in transitional weather and over a button-down for a back-to-school fall vibe.

6. Organic Cotton Silk Cord Cropped Cardigan

This silk and cotton cardi is endlessly versatile. It’s great to throw on over anything bare, obvi, but it also looks like an intentional fashion statement when it’s paired with a long tunic worn over matching black pants.

7. Woven Plisse Mock Neck Dress

Rock a look that says “I’m a gallery owner, ask me about this exhibit” with this crinkly Tencel blend tunic-dress. The fabric is lightweight enough to layer, but substantial enough to hang nicely over a pair of skinny pants and, come fall, under a chunky knit. Like so many Eileen Fisher pieces, it’s machine washable.

8. Airy Organic Cotton Twill Jacket

More fabrication magic: Eileen Fisher’s twill is so lightweight, it feels like chambray yet retains the crisp shaping of this boxy design. This versatile iteration of the French work coat is cropped so that it doesn’t add bulk to your hips, with cuffs that roll up to really get to work.

9. Airy Organic Cotton Twill Wide-leg Pant

If you combined jeans and pajama bottoms, the result would be this pair of trousers that have a stretch waist but are slender through the hips. So you’re covered, cool and practically set to pair this neutral trouser with every top in your closet.

10. Hemp Organic Cotton Grid Long Shirt

The hemp in this mandarin collar shirt makes it look tweedy, but the lightweight softness from cotton means it’s much more wearable than scratchy winter pieces. We’re wearing this as a jacket over a tank until fall.

The cap sleeves are perfect, the high neckline universally flattering and the length just grazes the hips, in micro-pleated fabric that hangs away from the body for an elegant look. Bonus: Small slits on the side let the top flow with your body movement.

12 Pieces So Good They Just Might Turn Me Into an Outfit Repeater

Sponsor Content Created With Bloomingdale's

I recently changed the way that I shop. While I love a good trend, I've been fine-tuning my closet to include fresh styles that I can wear a million times. I'm talking classic linen tops, knitted tanks, and wide-leg trousers—items I can wear multiple times a week without anyone noticing. (I won't tell if you don't.) Bloomingdale's has a huge selection of clothes that fit my criteria, and they're all from the timeless brand, Eileen Fisher . I like to think of Eileen Fisher as the brand that specialized in quiet luxury before that term existed. I'm gearing up for spring, and I simply can't keep quiet about the 12 shapes of the season below.

A fresh take on neutrals.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
