31 Clothing Pieces So Comfy, You’ll Wear Them On All Your Flights

If you’re gonna be stuck in a flying metal tube for hours, you may as well not feel stuck in your clothes too!

by Jessica Hall BuzzFeed Contributor

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Facebook

Pinterest

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 

1. A ridiculously soft hoodie combining everything you'd want in a sweatshirt to keep you warm and cozy during your flight, with a built-in sleep mask to help you block out your neighbors' overhead light that they seemingly refuse to turn off, even though everyone around is trying to sleep.

Pond LA

Pond LA is a California-based, woman-owned, and Asian-owned independent product design studio that produces in small, handmade batches from fabrics sourced in Los Angeles.

Promising review: "I ordered this sweatshirt for my upcoming long flight to Morocco (from California), and I have to say that although my trip isn't for a couple of months yet, I've been wearing it almost every day. It's so soft and comfortable, and the built-in sleep mask has come in very handy for those unscheduled afternoon naps. ;-) I have no doubt that I'll use this sweatshirt for years to come." —Karsen J.

Get it from Pond LA for $95 (originally $145; available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors).

2. A pair ofleggings, which are perfect for those connecting flights you have to R-U-N to for any chance of getting on.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but these leggings are one of the best leggings I’ve bought at a good price. The material is soft and fits great! Not see-through AT ALL, and I’m a thicker woman with hips and butt, and I’m 5’10, and they are perfect. I purchased these as last-minute travel gear and was afraid they wouldn’t have worked, but they are fantastic. I will be buying again." —Grace

Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and dozens of colors and styles).

3. A ribbed shell top if you wanna be comfortable while still keeping your title of fashionista. It would look stunning with your fave pair of jeans you're always raving about.

Madewell

Promising reviews: "Pretty color, fashionable, understated buttons that make it unique. Very comfortable and cute." —Janet

"Love this top! I got it in the navy shade, and it's exactly what I wanted. Such a great elevated basic piece — not too loud (so I won't get tired of it after a few wears) but something I know I'll still feel special in. I got it in my true size and found that it fits a bit loose — like seen on the model, but that's good because it can be tucked into pants/skirts when I feel like it." —anonymous

Get it from Madewell for $39.50+ (originally $55; available in sizes XXS–XXL and six colors).

4. Some parachute pants that will be comfy as heck cause they aren't restricting in any way. They even have snaps around the ankles so you can switch 'em up between wide leg and cinched.

Nike

Promising review: "I love the comfortable relax fit. And the fresh look. I received so many compliments. The fabric is great." —DeloresW913211502

Get them from Nike for $63.97+ (originally $95; available in sizes 0/2–20/22 and three colors).

5. An off-the-shoulder top made from lightweight fabric to keep you the perfect temperature — no matter if your plane is one of the ones with seemingly nonexistent AC or overpowering AC. (How have they still not found a way to make the temperature consistent?!)

Urban Outfitters

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).

6. A two-piece set featuring a half-zip sweatshirt and wide-leg pants so you can have a put-together fit with ~zero~ thought. And you'll be so in love you won't even feel like wasting time stopping at the hotel to change before exploring your destination.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a nice outfit and great for traveling. Got a compliment on the color (brown) and how it paired with my eyes and glasses. Very comfortable, kept me warm with another cotton layer under it on the plane. Like the feel—slightly shiny and smooth. Worth the money. I think another woman at the airport had the same outfit in a silver color!" —D Kramer

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 23 colors).

7. A pair of jersey joggers with a drawstring and *functional* pockets where you can stuff your phone, wallet, headphones, and other essentials so you're hands-free to grab a drink and snacks.

Target

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these joggers! They’re so lightweight and comfortable. I ordered a small and am happy with how they fit!" —stina

Get them from Target for $25.50+ (originally $30; available in sizes XXS–XXL and six colors).

8. An oversize crew neck shirt, which is the perfect ~elevated~ basic. No one said dressing comfy couldn't also be stylish. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This is the perfect oversize style. Super soft, comfy, and washes well. Not see-through at all! The color is so perfect. Would definitely recommend." —TH

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors/styles).

9. Some high-waisted fleece shorts if you tend to overheat on flights but still want the comfort and softness of your fave sweatpants. 

Old Navy

Promising review: "So comfortable you can sleep in them. They are sleek and soft. It does run a little loose, so choose to size down if you want a slimmer fit." —anonymous

Get them from Old Navy for $14.99 (originally $29.99; available in sizes XS–4X and eight colors).

10. A button-down maxi dress you can easily throw on without having to think about making a cute outfit when you have to race off to the airport in the morning.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I now have this dress in FOUR colors. I absolutely love it! Comfortable, get lots of compliments, will be perfect for travel also." —Brftrobiin

Get it from Amazon for $30.50 (available in sizes XS–3X and nine colors).

11. A slim ankle pant for a little more structure than a traditional sweatpant, while still making sure you don't have any uncomfortable buttons or zippers digging into your waist. Plus, these are wrinkle-resistant, so if you have to ~hop off the plane at LAX~ and run straight to a work meeting, no one will know you just took a cross-country flight.

Lane Bryant

Promising review: "So comfortable and versatile. Can wear it with anything. Dressy or casual. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is that it should come in a lot of colors instead of just black or navy." —Laschelle

Get them from Lane Bryant for $49.50 (originally $94.95; available in sizes 12–28, including petite sizes, and two colors).

12. A polo shirt perfect for anyone looking for a more business-casual vibe. Good news! It's wrinkle-resistant, so you can shove it in the hotel drawer and it'll still be ready to wear the next time you wanna rock it.

Lands' End

Promising review: "So soft! Just love these Supima tops. I’ve had long sleeve ones for years. Wash well and keep their shape. Not the cheapest, but really worth it." —Fraoch58

Get it from Lands' End for $24.72+ (originally $54.95; available in sizes 2/4–18, including select petite and tall sizes, plus sizes 16W/18W–24W/26W, and 10 colors/patterns).

13. A pair of cropped pants with fun striped detailing down the sides and a smooth, satin-like material that'll be sure to skyrocket this to the top of your favorite pants list.

Gap Factory

Promising review: "Cute and comfy relaxed pants that feel slightly elevated with the texture and material! Very versatile." —anonymous

Get them from Gap Factory for $39.99 (originally $79.99; available in sizes XS—XXL, including petite and tall sizes, and four colors).

14. A pair of trousers if you're having to travel for work and not pleasure, aka meetings are starting the second you touch down, and you don't have time to change.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "These pants are wonderful! They feel like pajamas, but look sleek for work or a night out. They have a bit of stretch, so definitely size down one size for an amazing fit. My new favorite pants!!" —AprilBN

Get them from Nordstrom for $66.33+ (originally $99; available in sizes 00–18, petite sizes, and five colors).

15. A Patagonia pullover, which is a classic in and of itself, but will certainly become an in-flight favorite. It's a lighter weight than some of their other styles, which makes it perfect for the ever-fluctuating plane temperatures. 

REI

Some reviewers recommend sizing down due to its initial oversize fit.

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because I thought it was cute, and I love it! It’s comfy and relaxed, which is exactly what I wanted. I’m extremely picky with these clothing items. I also like that it's light because I run warm. I normally wear an XL, and the large fits me with a bit of extra space. I am going to buy a second one." —hikerkela

Get it from REI for $115 (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).

16. A fitted sports and yoga tank with a padded bra you can wear with leggings or sweatpants if you want a classic, casual airport fit, or with jeans and a blazer if you're someone who likes to dress up to fly. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers recommend ordering one size up for a more comfortable fit. 

Promising review: "Very comfy with built-in bra is the best. I wear these when traveling longer distances to stay comfy all day through travel." —Brooke Hannon

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 24 colors)

17. A jersey T-shirt because... Obviously, you need a plain white tee (and no, I don't mean the band, unfortunately). Bonus: this can be paired with quite literally any bottoms you decide to pack, so you're at least saving sommmeee amount of room in your suitcase.

Gap

Promising review: "Cozy comfort. Over the years, I've bought dozens of these T-shirts. They feel great, look stylish, and launder beautifully." —anonymous

Get it from Gap for $24.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, including petite and talls sizes, and 13 colors/prints).

18. A pair of pull-on Levi's jeans with super stretch so you can be comfortable through the whole flight and not have to worry about a button jabbing into you when you try to get situated in your seat.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These skinny jeans are not only super comfortable, but very stylish. I bought these in maroon and black. You can travel in these and run errands. These are really great jeans! I highly recommend!" —Agatha

Get it from Amazon for $14.85+ (available in sizes 2–28 Medium, including short and long lengths, 16 Plus–28 Plus, including short and long lengths, and a variety colors/prints).

19. A boatneck top for an updated take on your go-to T-shirt. It'll give you a little more structure than a standard shirt, plus the chest pocket and cuffed sleeves add some extra fun detailing.

J. Crew

Promising review: "Lightweight and extremely comfortable. Hits me right at/ever so slightly below my waist. The perfect top to wear with my Soleil linen pants!" —Charnew

Get it from J. Crew for $98 (available in sizes XXS–3X and five colors/prints).

20. A cropped cardigan with gorgeous statement buttons. You can wear it as a layering piece or on its own, but either way, you will for sure be one of the best-dressed folks in the airport.

Quince

Promising review: "Love the quality, the style, and the feel against your skin. Will be ordering it in more colors! A definite must for your closet!" —Deb C.

Get it from Quince for $49.90+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors), and for $60 in sizes 1X–3X and six colors.

21. A casual matching set featuring an oversize tee and wide-leg pants, which is the perfect option for your travel day fit and those days you're just roaming the city and wanna be comfy while getting your 15,000 steps in.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this set for travel and ended up loving how comfortable and easy it is to wear. The fabric is soft and lightweight, almost like elevated loungewear, but it still looks put-together enough to wear out. I’m 5’9” and appreciated the relaxed fit; it’s great for running errands, airport days, or vacation. The color is beautiful, and it pairs easily with sneakers or sandals. Definitely a cute, comfy set I’ll keep reaching for." —The Hudsoncrew

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 27 colors).

22. A maxi dress if the thought of being stuck in any pants for three hours on a plane sounds worse to you than waiting in endless security lines.

Torrid

Promising review: "This dress is so cute! I got so many compliments! It fits true to size, is flowy, and light. If you're on the fence, definitely buy it!" —CAZ04

Get it from Torrid for $53.94 (originally $89.80; available in sizes M–6X).

23. A super-soft cardigan so you can wrap yourself up in it and pretend you are home, snuggling a blanket, and not 30,000 feet in the air next to a screaming baby.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m really enjoying wearing this sweater. It’s a good travel sweater because, even though it’s comfortably warm, it’s light if you take it off and have to carry it. I’ve worn it casually, open with a long sleeve tee underneath, and also closed and belted with a collared blouse and Pashmina to make it dressier and still stay warm. I ordered a larger size to wear casually over a light hoodie, but found that it’s way more versatile than just tossing it on to run errands. I’ll probably buy in more colors." —RoseE.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors).

24. A basic tee if you're looking to update your collection of staples. This is perfect to pair with leggings, sweats, jeans, or literally anything else you might wanna don for your long-haul flight.

Abercrombie

Promising review: "Perfect tee! Love this tee for everyday wear. Can literally wear this anywhere and it’s so comfy." —KD

Get it from Abercrombie for $15.20+ (originally $19+; available in sizes XXS–XXL and seven colors).

25. A short-sleeve cardigan that'll be the perfect in-between for anyone who goes from hot to cold to hot to cold like 15 times on every flight. Layer this with a top or wear it on its own... You've just found a new favorite.

Free People

Promising review: "Love this short-sleeve cardi. Super soft, comfortable, and stylish. It’s a great layering piece. A great transition piece for all seasons." —anonymous

Get it from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors).

26. A drawstring linen pant so you'll be ready to hit the beach the second you land. You're gonna love how lightweight these feel. Easy and breezy.

Everlane

Promising review: "These pants are gorgeous and give an elevated, but relaxed and casual look. I purchased it in the black and off-white colorway. Easy to pair with any tee or light sweater. The linen feels very high quality and feels very breathable when I wear it to travel recently. These are wide and voluminous in the legs, but that was the look I was going for." —Shelley39

Get them from Everlane for $98+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors).

27. A high-rise jogger that is perfectly stretchy so you can get comfortable no matter how much you have to contort yourself in your (tiny) seat.

Athleta

Promising review: "I love these pants and own three pairs. They fit me just right and are comfortable with zipper pockets on the back and right side. Definitely three-season comfortable. Can be totally casual or a little more refined for dinner at a casual restaurant." —anonymous

Get it from Athleta for $68.60+ (originally $98; available in sizes XXS–3X, including petite and tall sizes, a wide-leg version, and 12 colors).

28. A Lululemon oversize scuba half-zip hoodie designed to be the perfect combo of oversize and cropped. I can personally tell you these things are comfy (I have three of them, so clearly I'm a fan). Plus, the oversize hood is perfect for covering your eyes when you wanna get some ~uninterrupted~ shut eye.

Lululemon

Promising review: "Love this hoodie! It's so pretty and feels super soft! I have gotten many compliments on it. Definitely worth purchasing." —anonymous

Get it from Lululemon for $128 (available in sizes XS–XXL and eight colors). 

29. A matching set to help save you the stress of trying to find a coordinating outfit to wear when you frantically wake up at 4:45 a.m. for the early morning flight you thought would be a good idea six months ago.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this outfit! Great for traveling or just for a day out! True to size and the fit is perfect! Not restricting, if you are traveling and you need to be comfortable. It's warm without being sweltering. It's comfortable, and the quality is amazing! It would make a great gift for someone who travels! I highly recommend this!" —J Green

Get it from Amazon for $33.89+ (available in sizes S-3XL and 32 colors/styles).

30. Or if you're looking for something a little warmer, an effortlessly cool hoodie and joggers set, so you don't have to freeze while you sit at the gate waiting for your flight. I mean, just look at how comfy *and* cute it is — brb, gotta order this for myself.

Art Care Shop / Etsy

Art Care Shop is a Nashville, Tennessee-based small biz making stylish, quality, and comfy essentials. Also, they call the pants in this set the "Jasmine Joggers" because they were designed to fit like Jasmine's pants in Aladdin!

Promising review: "It’s comfy, and my go-to airport fit. Quality is amazing, and if it gets wet, it dries pretty quickly. I love it. 🤌🏼 Buying it now as a gift." —Leah

Get it from Art Care Shop on Etsy for $120+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors). 

31. And, if you've made it this far, you're probably ~desperate~ for something comfy and this, my friends, is it — a long-sleeve sleepwear set because after all, the airport is a lawless place and no one can stop you from wearing what you want!! This comfy set will have you ready to curl up in your window seat, turn your headphones on, and fall asleep before you even take off. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These pajamas fit so well, and they are very comfortable. Super soft, not see-through, and light enough to wear in bed year-round. I bought another set to travel in." —Marcie11

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 36 colors/styles).
