32 Versatile Pieces That'll Help You Get The Most Out Of Your Travel Wardrobe
An athletic skort with built-in pocket shorts that one reviewer says eliminates the need for a bag! Phone, hotel keycard, ID, Rhode peptide lip tint... yup, your essentials are covered.
A padded tank that 1) looks incredibly cute, and 2) eliminates the need for a bra.
A two-piece tank top and shorts set so you don't have to put any thought into putting a matching outfit together — the work has been done for you!
An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with over 36,000 5-star ratings and rave reviews from flight attendants!
A cropped quarter-zip sweatshirt if you LOVE blasting the AC in your hotel, so you need an extra layer to keep you cozy.
A plain white Madewell tee you can wear again and again and again because there's really no wrong way to pair it. Like seriously, I'd like to see an outfit it doesn't make sense with??
A Pashmina scarf ready to be fashioned into a blanket or pillow when flying; a wrap when you're cold or need something modest for visiting cultural sites like temples; or even a shield from the sun as it offers UPF 50+ protection!
A square-neck jumpsuit with built-in shapewear that eliminates the need for undergarments. Don't worry — it's nice and thick!
Some budget-friendly high-waisted leggings if you've sworn off jeans and any other bottoms without at least 5% spandex.
Or a pair of Savage x Fenty seamless high-waist leggings that earn rave reviews from even the pickiest of leggings aficionados as they don't roll or leave seam marks after extended wear.
A two-piece lounge set you're certain to feel comfy and pulled together in because getting up at the crack of dawn for a 5 a.m. flight is *not* your forte, but it did save you a pretty penny.
A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a run for their money."
A classic London Fog trench you can throw on over anything and immediately look like you belong in whatever European city you're visiting.
A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans that go where no low-rise jeans have ever gone before — up, up, up past your belly button.
Thesus Weekend Boots — the ideal choice for adventure travelers everywhere thanks to their seam-sealed water-resistant upper, anti-slip rubber lug sole, and temperature-control lining. While they're perf for hikes and other demanding activities, the versatile design lends itself just as well to brunch, window shopping, and putzing around town.
Some bike shorts you can wear on hikes, to the gym, or under dresses and skirts as an anti-chafing measure because your vacation average of 20,000 steps a day is no joke!
A pair of 100% European linen pants I have worn to legit every country I've ever been to in the last four years. Full stop.
A seriously *stunning* slip dress you can gussy up or tone down. Wear it with heels and you've got yourself an evening dress, or pair it with a leather jacket and ankle boots for an impossibly cool city slicker look.
Croc platforms that *may* just be cute enough to convert the Never Croc-er™ amongst us. They're ultra-comfortable, waterproof, and can take a serious beating, too, if you need to shove them in the exterior water bottle pouch of your backpack because you bought more souvenirs than anticipated.
A ruched bodycon dress with a simple silhouette made more exciting by adjustable ties. Slip on some color-coordinated sandals or chunky sneakers and you're all done, bb!
A two-pack of tank tops because they match literally everything. Idk about you, but as a carry-on-only traveler who rewears clothes, that's essential! The asymmetrical design makes them a little more interesting than a plain tee, they don't wrinkle, and they take up next to no space in your bag, which is a win-win-win.
Some trusty Birkenstock Arizona sandals — mine have been around the world with me and I guarantee yours will quickly become your go-to plus one!!
An off-the-shoulder top that's such a hit with reviewers, many have bought it in multiple colors.
A comfy wire-free bra that does the impossible — goes completely undetected under white T-shirts! No more having to pack a separate bra just for finicky tops.
A Black Diamond sun hoodie with UPF 50+ so you don't burn to a crisp on your next hike. That said, it's also lightweight, so you won't sweat out more H20 than you can carry in your lil' sippy backpack.
A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks, so you can girl math an extra excursion into your trip!
A pair of handmade huaraches with all the airflow of a sandal, but also the benefit of a closed-toe design if you have any vacation activities in mind that are more intense than suntanning on the beach. (Zip lining, anyone?)
A trusty jean jacket you can *literally* wear with anything. There was a time when my mom told me to stop using the word literally 'cause I said it every two seconds, but mom, I swear it's justified in this case!
A trusty pair of Reebok Club C Doubles — the only shoes I'd save from a burning building if given the opportunity. They're comfy straight out of the box, and they pair with literally every outfit!
An oversized hoodie with a built-in sleep mask that ensures some quality shut-eye whether you're traveling by plane, train, or automobile (most likely Lyft or Uber...).
And a long-sleeve off-the-shoulder brami — aka a 2-in-1 bra + cami — so you can ditch your usual underwire but still get alllll the support you need. I love a garment that eliminates the need to pack a bra.

Huge win leaves NC lottery player's wife restless. ‘Couldn't go back to sleep'
A lottery player won a prize so big, it left his wife restless. 'She couldn't believe it,' winner Thomas Payne told the North Carolina Education Lottery. 'She couldn't go back to sleep.' Now, the couple hopes to use some of the prize money to travel to Portugal, lottery officials wrote Aug. 1 in a news release. Payne won $100,000 after stopping at a Circle K convenience store before work. He tried his luck on a $50 scratch-off ticket in Jacksonville, an area home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and a roughly 120-mile drive southeast from Raleigh. Payne was at his job when he checked the ticket he bought for the $10 Million Spectacular game. He called his wife to tell her how much it was worth. 'It feels pretty good,' Payne told lottery officials. The winner, who lives in Jacksonville, kept $71,764 after taxes. In addition to planning for his European trip, he wants to save money and pay bills. It's not the first time someone's commute has taken a lucky turn. Another North Carolina lottery player bought a winning ticket on his way to work, leaving his wife in disbelief, McClatchy News reported in 2023.

Dogs and Cats without a ‘Pet Passport' Will Be Denied Entry To These Countries
Exploring the world with a pet can be a memorable experience. However, travelers should carefully review local and foreign regulations before hopping on a plane with their pet. There are a variety of regulations and documentation requirements, often dubbed "pet passports," when traveling with pets internationally, and even within the United States. Travel + Leisure has rounded up the latest information and guidance to keep your four-legged friends safe and comfortable before taking off. Taking a road trip or a flight across state lines can trigger additional documentation and legal implications for pets and their owners. While a "pet passport" isn't explicitly required, some states require a certificate of health from a licensed veterinarian. For travelers heading on a journey with their pet for the first time, one of the best resources is a lesser-known website within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. There, travelers can explore the recently-updated Travel with a Pet page that features the latest state guidance. For example, if you bring a dog or cat into the state of Texas, it must be vaccinated against rabies. The USDA also recommends scheduling a visit with a veterinarian who can verify the pet's health, provide necessary documentation, and specific state or country-by-country recommendations. Travelers heading from the U.S. to a county within the European Union with pets (such as France or Italy) are required to obtain documentation verifying the health of the pet, including vaccination against rabies and other diseases, along with identity information, the European Commission noted. For travelers within the U.S., these can be obtained through authorized veterinarians. The certificate must be dated no more than ten days in advance of entering into the EU, and has a four month lifespan. There are other rules such as a declaration that the pet's entrance to the EU is for "non-commercial" purposes only, and not for a commercial reason like being sold to a different owner. Travelers should carefully review the entry requirements as the repercussions for not following the rules could end in tragedy. 'If your pet fails these compliance checks, it may be returned to the country of departure, be placed in quarantine until such time as it complies with EU health rules or if neither of these options are possible, the animal may be euthanised,' the EU's website states. Individual countries maintain different regulations and processes for pets. In Mexico, for example, animals are not required to have a "pet passport," but are frequently inspected upon arrival for any disease or wounds. However, on the flight back to the United States, dogs are required to undergo screwworm testing to verify they are free of the disease. "As of November 22, 2024, Mexico is considered to be affected by screwworm. All dogs (including U.S. origin dogs returning to the U.S. after traveling to Mexico) must meet APHIS requirements for screwworm freedom certification upon entry (re-entry)," the USDA explains on its website. Airlines have dedicated policies and procedures when traveling either domestically or internationally with a certified service animal. These animals are "individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability," according to the Department of Transportation. But airlines may require documentation on the animal's health, behavior, and training. Emotional support animals are not considered official service animals. Travelers should contact their airline in advance of their booking to verify the documentation and have the pet added to the reservation, if required.

White Jeans Are the Travel Pant of the Summer—and We Found the 10 Comfiest and Most Flattering Styles From $25
White jeans used to feel like more trouble than they were worth—too stiff, too hot, too high-maintenance. But lately, brands have figured out how to make them actually comfortable, with soft, breathable fabrics and relaxed fits that work with summer weather instead of against it. Some even feel more like sweats than denim, making them the ideal travel pants (especially if you're usually anti-jeans on flights, like me). Whether you're heading straight from the airport to dinner or exploring a new city on foot, a great pair of white jeans can quietly anchor your whole outfit. From wide-leg pants like the Madewell Harlow Jeans to sleek straight-leg staples like the Quince High-rise Pants, these 10 pairs of white jeans prove that comfort and style can actually coexist. You'll find under-$25 picks from Amazon, classics from Levi's and Gap, and elevated takes from and Everlane. And no, I don't believe in the 'no white after Labor Day' rule—these are built for year-round wear. If you want the cool, casual look of denim without the weight, these are it. Made with Gap's signature UltraSoft fabric, this pair is designed to feel like lounge pants while still giving you the structure of jeans. The relaxed leg and adjustable drawstring waist make them a go-to for long flights, road trips, and laid-back sightseeing days. Wear them with a breezy tank, slides, and a woven tote for an Italian Riviera-ready vibe, or swap in a sweatshirt and sneakers for cozy travel days. These crisp white jeans strike the perfect balance between polished and practical. Made from organic cotton with just the right amount of stretch, they're structured enough to dress up but comfy enough to wear straight through a long-haul flight. One reviewer even wore them hiking post-arrival—and still raved about the fit. Try them with a linen button-down and leather sandals for sightseeing, then swap in a sleek bodysuit and gold hoops for dinner alfresco. $138 $100 at These Madewell Harlow pants are the jeans I personally reach for on repeat—especially during summer trips when I want to look put together without overheating. The lightweight, canvas-like denim is the perfect combination of trousers and jeans. You can wear them everywhere from office meetings to wine tastings, and they'll look good wherever you are. Just add a tucked-in tee or linen vest and a strappy sandal, and you're set from takeoff to dinner. With the look of on-trend utility jeans and comfort that rivals sweatpants, these Amazon best-selling pants are a yes all-around. Between the ultra-flattering high waist and tapered cut,, they look way more expensive than $25. Pair them with a ribbed tank and baseball cap for a travel-day uniform that's equal parts functional and cool, or elevate your look with a structured blazer and flats for museum strolls and city dinners. Bonus: they pack down easily. Don't let the denim look fool you—these 'jeans' feel more like your favorite yoga pants in disguise. Thanks to Halara's four-way stretch Flex fabric, they're breathable, featherlight, and move with you whether you're sprinting through the airport or lounging with a glass of wine in Tuscany. The low-rise cut and wide leg give off a laid-back, Y2K energy, perfect for pairing with a cropped tank and sneakers or a breezy button-up and slides. Everlane calls these Everlane pants their most comfortable jeans yet—and we believe it. They're pre-softened to perfection with an airy feel that typically takes years of wear to achieve. Translation: no break-in period required. For summer getaways, pair them with a lightweight tee and sandals for exploring local markets or go dressier with a tucked-in blouse and espadrilles for a warm-weather dinner look. Bonus: they're a whopping 70 percent off right now. This is the kind of white jean that earns a permanent place in your capsule wardrobe. Tailored for curvier silhouettes with a just-right high rise and gently flared leg, these pants are sleek enough for rooftop cocktails but comfy enough for a full day of exploring. Wear them with a silk cami and blazer in the city, or style with a tucked-in tank and raffia accessories while vacationing in France. Trust us: you'll reach for them long after summer ends. $98 at $98 $69 at Urban Outfitters A forever favorite, these Levi's 501s deliver effortless '90s vibes with a straight-leg fit that works on practically everyone. They feel sturdy and classic, just like good denim should—but still comfy enough for travel days thanks to their broken-in softness. Pair them with a baby tee and chunky sneakers for airport ease, or with a knit tank and stacked jewelry for gallery hopping or café strolling abroad. Slouchy, stylish, and effortlessly cool—these low-slung jeans bring a relaxed sophistication to any outfit. They're made from a special 100 percent cotton 'Cone denim' that is made to give structure without stiffness, and the fit feels like the jeans equivalent of a linen pant. Add a tank and Birkenstocks for casual exploring, or style them with a halter top and chunky sandals for sunset dinners. They'll look just as good rolled up and tossed in your weekender as they do in your vacation pics. $70 $35 at These straight-leg jeans from the Gap Factory serve up a laid-back energy—with a high rise that flatters while still feeling roomy. The rolled cuff detail at the ankle gives it that effortlessly styled finish (with zero effort required). Think: a white tee, leather slides, and a straw tote for a casual day of museum wandering—or pair with a blouse and chunky gold hoops for cocktails with a view. At half off, they're an easy yes.
