I Wore This Petite-friendly Jumpsuit on 3 Flights Last Month, and It Never Wrinkles
I'm an avid traveler who is no stranger to an international red-eye flight, rushing to make a connection, and going through airport security with streamlined precision. After decades of consistent flying, I finally have mastered the process, and that includes my travel clothes.
I prefer looking put together on a plane so I can arrive at a new destination feeling my best, but I also prioritize comfort over everything. I'm constantly in search of new pieces that blend the two concepts together, and my latest obsession is Chico's line of travel-ready clothing. I had the chance to try the Travelers Tie-Waist Jumpsuit earlier this year, and I have been wearing it on repeat since. Right now, it's on sale in the versatile black color for 51 percent off.
In the past month, I've taken trips up the coast of California, to Denver, and to Milwaukee, and this jumpsuit has been my go-to for each travel day. It has an elastic waistband and flowy fit, and the breathable material moves with me for ultimate comfort. I like that the sleeveless design makes it an option for warm days, but I can also layer it with a light jacket or cardigan on cooler days.
The jumpsuit is made from a wrinkle-resistant material that holds its shape well. Even after a four-hour flight, I was impressed with how fresh and polished the piece still looked. I also travel with my dog, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fabric naturally repelled dog hair with no effort needed.
Since I'm 5-foot-2, I opted for the petite size. Not only are the proportions more accurate to my frame, but I was happy that it had a cropped length on me that can sometimes be lost with standard sizing. Not only is this piece a comfortable option for in-flight travel, but I also found myself reaching for it multiple times during my trip because of how easily it can be dressed up.
Multiple shoppers agree that this piece is versatile and flattering, including one person who said the material 'is great for any season,' and another who added that the 'lightweight' material is 'stretchy yet holds its shape.' Another shopper echoed my feelings that it is an ideal travel piece, saying 'you could crumple this up in a ball in your suitcase,' and it would 'come out looking perfect.'
Snag my versatile jumpsuit while it's on sale for 51 percent off, and keep scrolling to shop more pieces from Chico's travelers line below.

Parents ‘Race' to See Twins Graduate in 2 Different States 1,200 Miles Apart on the Same Weekend (Exclusive)
Two determined parents raced against the clock to attend their kids' graduation ceremonies in different states, just 15 hours apart Their daughter, Audrey, attended college in Washington, while their son, Jack, went to school in Arizona Roxanne Field tells PEOPLE about all the extensive planning that went into being there for both her childrenFor one family, graduation season meant more than just caps, gowns, and celebrations – it meant a logistical challenge like no other. With twins attending universities in different states, Roxanne and Ken Field, who live in Santa Clarita, Calif., faced the daunting task of being in two places nearly at once. Their son, Jack, was set to graduate from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Ariz., while their daughter, Audrey, would walk across the stage at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., less than 24 hours later. Up until then, their school schedules had always worked out smoothly, with events landing on different weekends. But in October 2024, the family realized their luck had run out. 'The problem became evident when we realized Jack's ceremony began at 3 p.m. on a Saturday and Audrey's ceremony began the next day at 9 a.m. on Sunday - states away,' Roxanne, 54, tells PEOPLE exclusively. The couple never anticipated that their children would end up graduating on the same weekend, with the ceremonies scheduled just 15 hours apart. Nevertheless, Roxanne and her husband decided they would do everything in their power to show up for both Jack and Audrey. 'Since Jack's ceremony was first, we started our planning based on the easiest and fastest way out of Flagstaff to Spokane,' Roxanne explains. 'Getting to Flagstaff was the easy part. We took a flight from Burbank airport to Phoenix, rented a car and drove to Flag.' They explored every option to make the tight travel timeline work. However, flights out of Flagstaff didn't align with their schedule, and even a drive to Las Vegas proved unhelpful, as no late flights fit their needs. The only workable solution was to fly out of Phoenix to get as close to Spokane as possible. With Jack's graduation beginning at 3 p.m., they would need to leave Flagstaff by 5 p.m. to make the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Phoenix. The I-17 route, known for accidents and construction delays, added another layer of uncertainty. On top of that, they had a rental car to return, making the window for error extremely slim. 'Since we knew we had to leave Jack's ceremony at 5 p.m., it meant possibly missing seeing him walk the stage,' Roxanne explains. 'We didn't know how long the speeches would take, or the number of graduates before him who would be called on stage.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Luckily, Jack's name was called just in time to see him walk around 4:45 p.m. From there, Roxanne and Ken jumped in the car and headed straight for Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. However, panic started to set in about an hour into the drive when traffic slowed to a crawl, then came to a complete stop — a potential deal breaker. Fortunately, the delay lasted only 15 minutes, and they were soon back on the road. After arriving in Phoenix, they returned the rental car, took the airport tram, and headed for security. With Real ID enforcement starting that week, there was concern about long lines and possible delays, but luck was on their side again, as the security line was completely empty. Roxanne and Ken reached the gate on time, but the stress wasn't over. Their flight was scheduled to land in Seattle at midnight, and they needed to pick up their rental car before the counter closed at 1 a.m. Any delay would have left them without transportation to Spokane. 'We haven't pulled an all-nighter since the twins were newborns. Here we were two people who love to go to bed early, driving into the pitch black night, hoping to stay awake, hoping the car wouldn't break down and we'd make it there safely,' Roxanne recalls. 'It was the last hurdle of our very own Amazing Race.' They pulled into Spokane at 5 a.m., exhausted but relieved. While her husband managed a quick nap at the hotel, Roxanne remained wide awake, running on adrenaline. 'There were so many potential pitfalls and obstacles that could have stopped us along the way, but this crazy plan had actually worked," she says. "I couldn't believe our luck." At 9 a.m., the exhausted yet proud parents arrived at the Spokane Arena, accompanied by Roxanne's parents, who flew in from Scottsdale, Ariz., just in time to watch Audrey walk across the stage. 'Watching each of our kids walk across the stage was such a proud moment," Roxanne tells PEOPLE. "It was really a celebration of their perseverance and growth." Jack earned a Bachelor of Science in Education and hopes to become an elementary school teacher, while Audrey graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and plans to pursue a career as an actuary. 'Watching two of our kids reach this milestone in the same weekend fills us with a mix of pride and wonder,' Roxanne says. 'It's not just about their degrees, it's about who they've become and all the steps it took to get them here.' Read the original article on People

Lululemon's ‘We Made Too Much' Section Is Bursting With Packable Summer Styles
Whether your summer travel wardrobe is filled with athleisure essentials or more fashion-forward pieces, Lululemon's 'We Made Too Much' section is the one place you can rely on to uncover airport-ready styles at far more wallet-friendly prices than the rest of its site. Luckily, the retailer just did a sweeping restock of the section, offering up countless fresh styles to add to your suitcase for your next trip—including exercise dresses, joggers, skirts, and more starting at just $39. After visiting the site to stock up on versatile activewear essentials for my own upcoming travels, I've compiled a list of the 15 best picks, with markdowns up to 43 percent off. From cozy in-flight layers to sleek pieces that'll turn heads on the streets no matter where in the world you are, these are the summer-friendly Lululemon styles you'll want to claim as your own before they sell out. Lululemon is primarily known for its high-quality activewear, but its 'We Made Too Much' section is also stocked with sleek lifestyle picks like this bold crochet cardigan—the perfect addition to chilly flights. The relaxed-fitting layer is easily dressed up or down; and while it will instantly become a year-round statement wardrobe piece, it's especially great to have on hand for cool beach evenings and al fresco dinners in the summer time. Made from a soft cotton blend that feels luxurious against the skin, wear it open or closed thanks to three gorgeous buttons. This stunning lilac midi skirt may be stylish, but it's also sure to be one of the most comfortable pieces in your travel wardrobe this summer—and it's under $100 now. The stretchy elastic waistband is designed not to dig into your skin, so you can wear it comfortably on long sightseeing days or even on a cross-country flight. Plus, the longer hemline ensures you'll stay covered while the lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric will keep you cool amidst rising temperatures. And whether you prefer a low- or high-rise, this A-line skirt will look great either way. To avoid feeling stifled by tight fabric while traveling, choose this loose-fitting split-back tee. Designed as activewear, trust that it'll keep you sweat-free no matter the weather. The flowy top is ultra stretchy with a fabric that's specifically designed not to lose its shape. It's made from a sweat-wicking polyester blend that packs down easily and won't take up much space in your suitcase; right now it's just $49 in five dreamy pastel shades. Your go-to summer mini skirt doesn't need to sacrifice comfort to be stylish. Don't believe me? Just look at this high-rise mini that's designed with a smooth, thick waistband that lays flat against the skin. The breathable cotton-blend construction is a great swap for denim. Its versatile shape will look just as great styled with sneakers as it will with a pair of kitten heels. It comes in a range of six bright and neutral shade options starting at just $39. Pick up more than one color without maxing out your budget. You should always invest in clothing made from high-quality materials. The Zeroed In Short-sleeve Shirt is the best example; on the surface, it appears to be another plain T-shirt, but it's made from a moisture-wicking soft cotton blend that effortlessly ties comfort with function. The relaxed fit is flattering and easy to style with every pair of shorts or pants in your suitcase, and you'll even be able to tell by the weight of the fabric that this is a clear upgrade from your other closet staples. A high-quality pair of stretchy, long-line shorts will be an invaluable addition to your suitcase this summer, and seeing as this high-rise option is fitted with two deep side pockets, it's no question that they're your best choice. Designed for running, these shouldn't ride up with every step. Plus, they're made with a thick, comfortable waistband that won't dig into your skin or feel restrictive. They're a great pick to layer beneath a mini dress if you're seeking more coverage, but they can also be worn while hiking and for more strenuous activities in the sumer heat since the fabric is quick-drying and sweat-wicking. Comfy travel pants are always 'in'—regardless of the season. This cropped pair is our favorite way to test out the newly-returned capri trend without veering too far off the full-length pants path. These are more elevated than sweatpants (but have a shockingly similar feel), and the high-rise waist is secured with an adjustable drawcord, so you can easily achieve your perfect fit. The pockets are fitted with a subtle card sleeve to safely store essentials while on the go, and perhaps most impressive of all, they're currently almost $50 off. Summer isn't exactly the time you'll want to slip on sweatpants when you're in the mood for something comfy, but don't let the heat stop you from traveling in loungewear. Take this as your sign to snatch up these oversized sweatshorts while they're under $60. Made with the same stretchy elastic waistband and cozy fleece-lined fabric as your favorite pair of sweats, they cut off just above the knees for added air flow with a slouchy, relaxed fit. They're even available in sizes ranging from 3XS to XL, and boast deep pockets practically made to hold your go-to airport snacks. Aside from being comfortable and offering that ideal casual fit for summer travel, these jersey shorts are also super stylish and versatile, lending themselves to endless styling potential. Made with a soft, brushed fabric that's both stretchy and quick-drying, these simple shorts are far more travel-friendly than classic rigid styles (but they still have deep pockets), plus the neutral color options make them easy to style with basic tees and bolder options alike. And if you like a longer inseam, the seven-inch shorts are also available for $49 right now. If you don't already have an exercise dress in your closet, this is your opportunity to snag a comfortable and breezy mini to travel in while it's just $59. Made from a lightweight organic cotton fabric and decorated with flattering scrunched detailing at the back, the functional piece is as easily styled for a day of sightseeing as it is for an afternoon by the pool. It lands just above the knee for the perfect amount of coverage, while the high-neck design is on-trend and sleek. Dresses may have never been on your radar for travel days, but that will all change with this breezy piece in your collection. Weary travelers will be happy to have a cushy, supportive pair of sandals to slip on after a long day on their feet, which is exactly why you'll want to add the Restfeel Flip-flops to your shopping cart while they're marked down to $49 this summer. The cloud-like insoles are lined with a super-soft fabric atop a layer of foam, while the outsoles are crafted with durable rubber that provides traction on everything from smooth airport floors to uneven cobblestone streets. They're supportive and breathable enough to wear on a walking tour, but if you're tied to wearing sneakers on the go, these recovery slides will offer much-needed reprieve for tired feet at the end of the day. Lululemon is perhaps best known for its buttery soft leggings, and this high-rise, cropped pair is a must-have for the summer while it's almost $20 off in a hot pink shade. The Align leggings are made to feel like a second layer of skin—comfortable for yoga, traveling, and everything in between. They move with your body without ever feeling restrictive or digging in, and the wide waistband is home to a hidden card pocket for stashing items while you're out and about. Most importantly, they're both sweat-wicking and quick-drying. If you're going to wear a pair of long pants in the summer, it should at least be a pick that's as loose and breathable as this $89 option—and it certainly doesn't hurt that they come in the most beautiful lilac shade. Don't worry about feeling restricted by tight, uncomfortable fabric since these pants are made with a wide-leg design complete with slits at the hems, and a cooling material that will feel great even after touching down in a toasty destination. They're the perfect style to dress up or down with the right accessories, available in sizes 3XS to XL. Whether you're looking for a lightweight in-flight layer or sweatshirt to travel with in case weather takes a turn for the worse, this full-zip hoodie is the way to go—and right now, it's almost $20 off. The generous, boxy fit is loose-fitting and easy to slip on and off in a hurry. Crafted with a subtle bubble hem, adding a playful touch to an otherwise simple piece of loungewear, the sweatshirt is made from Lululemon's classic softstreme fabric that's airy and gentle against the skin. Plus, it's quick-drying and stretchy, ensuring your unending comfort during your trip. Far more put-together than your favorite pair of sweatpants, these brushed joggers are guaranteed to become your new go-to travel pants all year-long—and you can snag them for under $100 right now. While they may feel like sweats, the tailored look allows them to be dressed up to look your most chic at the airport. Made with stretchy, quick-drying fabric that makes them uniquely functional and great for long days of traveling, they're available in sizes XS to 2XL with three inseam lengths to find your perfect fit, and the four neutral colorway options are versatile and flattering.
