These $100 Linen Pants Were a Lifesaver for 90-degree Days in Tuscany—and I Found 9 Similar Styles From $30
In Tuscany, I paired these comfy Madewell pants with a white tank top, comfy sneakers, and sunglasses for a casual wine tour, and despite the blazing sun, the airy fabric kept me cool all day. Later in the summer, I packed them again for a weekend in the Hamptons—this time dressing them up with heels, a strapless top, a navy cardigan, and a statement necklace to watch the sunset by the water. Two totally different vibes, same pair of pants, which speaks to just how versatile they really are. $128 $100 at Madewell.com

This Scandinavian Country Is the Hottest Summer Destination—and It Has New Museums, Michelin-starred Restaurants, and Stunning Fjords
As temperatures rise across Europe, travelers are choosing destinations that—quite literally—allow them to breathe. The term 'coolcation' may have started as a clever way to describe summer trips that avoid scorching heat, but it's evolved into something deeper. It's a new kind of luxury that values both comfort and connection, and perhaps no destination captures this shift quite as elegantly as the Land of Fjords and Light. Norway is a summer destination that's not only cooler in temperature but cooler in atmosphere as well. While the Arctic north has long drawn winter thrill-seekers, it's the south that quietly stuns in the warmer months: think long golden days, architectural cabins tucked into coastal cliffs, and forest-framed coastlines. Below, my recommendations to some of the coolest spots in Norway, where refreshing weather meets design, culture, and locally rooted experiences unlike any other. The public rest area at the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum. For design enthusiasts, Norway is a great place to explore. Allmannajuvet, a museum located in Sauda in the southwest of Norway, is home to the architectural works of Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. The location of the museum was once home to mines that operated from 1881 to 1899, and Zumthor was tasked with showcasing the industrial history here. Exciting new openings include the PoMo, a modern and contemporary art museum (designed by Iranian-French architect India Mahdavi) in the city of Trondheim; and Kunstsilo, a Nordic art museum in the southern city of Kristiansand, which features interactive digital art experiences. In Oslo, the country's capital, the National Museum recently debuted its New Nordic exhibition, which explores the intersection between people, materials, and landscape. In Stavern, a town along the Skagerrak coast, the Nerdrum Museum is a highlight; housed in a small home, it showcases the works of Norwegian figurative painter, Odd Nerdrum. Tourists taking a cold plunge in Oslofjord. Let yourself be inspired by the Nordic lifestyle by taking a cold plunge, playing golf, or exploring Southern Norway's impressive food scene. Road tripping through the lesser-known region of southern Norway is a favorite among cultural and food-focused travelers. Villages like Stavern, Nevlunghavn, Risør, Kristiansand, and Mandal, are popular for their location on the coast, inland farms, and forested trails where local Norwegians retreat in the summertime, too. The dining table ready to seat guests at RE-NAA. In Norway, the varieties of food are endless, from farm-to-table dining and urban cafes, to bakeries and Michelin-starred stunners. Common experiences include foraged meals shared fireside with locals, or a multi-course tasting at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With 25 stars across the country—including three each at Oslo's Maaemo and Stavanger's waterside RE-NAA—Norway pairs hyper-local, immersive food culture with world-class artistry. Norway's farm- and sea-to-table scene is also exploding with Arctic cider, early-stage wine production, small-batch cheeses, and foraging experiences. These aren't easily stumbled upon, but well-connected travel advisors can open doors to fjord-side farms and forest foraging trails. The view from Sky Lodge 1 at The Boulder Hotel. Anne Bråtveit/The Boulder In Southern Norway, stylish accommodations like The Bolder offer ultra-modern, cliffside cabins with stunning panoramic fjord views. The historic, yet contemporary Storfjord Hotel on the west coast offers 30 rooms with balanced design, comfort, and picturesque views of the Sunnmøre Alps. Other travelers can opt for a hut-to-hut trek through Jotunheimen National Park or the Aurlandsdalen Valley, with nights spent in traditional Norwegian hiking cabins and eco-lodges like 29|2 Aurland. And for a truly off-the-grid escape, Brakøya, a northern, private island retreat in the Lofoten archipelago, offers intimate, design-forward stays for just 10 to 12 guests.

This Celeb-loved Airport Outfit Is Actually a Mistake in Disguise—Here's What to Wear Instead, From $18
Sure, a jumpsuit looks effortlessly chic—and if you scroll through paparazzi photos, you'll see plenty of celebrities breezing through the airport in them. But as someone who flies constantly, I can confidently say they're not nearly as convenient as they seem. Between the awkward bathroom logistics and the lack of flexibility when temperatures shift mid-flight, jumpsuits just aren't worth it. Matching sets, on the other hand, give you that same one-and-done vibe but are way more practical. You can customize the look by layering a jacket or swapping in a different top or bottom without having to fully undress in a tiny airplane bathroom. The best sets are soft, breathable, and stylish enough to wear straight from the airport to your destination. Below, I rounded up the 10 best matching sets that are more versatile than a jumpsuit—and just as cute, starting at just $18. This best-selling Amazon matching set nails the sleek silhouette of a jumpsuit without any of the airplane bathroom struggle. It's 49 percent off right now, meaning each piece is just $9. The foldover flare pants and fitted T-shirt feel lightweight and stretchy, and when you throw a denim jacket over the look, you've got a comfy-cool outfit you can wear straight off the plane. This under-the-radar Quince set is as stylish as it is functional—a major feat in the travel outfit world. The mockneck sweatshirt gives you an elevated neckline that layers well under coats, while the matching pants have an elastic drawstring waistband for a no-fuss fit. Plus, the pants are lightweight and stretchy with real pockets, so you can stash your passport, snacks, or boarding pass with ease. This sweat set from Lululemon hits the travel trifecta: breathable fabric, a temperature-adjusting zip-up hoodie, and wide-leg pants with a hidden card sleeve. The scuba hoodie comes with a cozy hood you can flip up during takeoff and wear off the plane—and with a tank underneath if you're headed somewhere warm. It's a polished, versatile upgrade from your usual sweatset. If you like to be comfy without overheating, Vuori's iconic DreamKnit fabric delivers. This travel set has a relaxed fit that doesn't feel bulky, plus it's moisture-wicking and moves with you thanks to four-way stretch. With slash pockets and a drapey silhouette, the wide-leg pants and comfy pullover are made for long-haul flights or cross-country road trips. This Travel+Leisure editor-loved Amazon find combines fashion and function—and it's on sale for just $34. The half-zip top looks put-together while giving you that cozy airport energy, and the wide-leg pants feel loose without being sloppy. It's the kind of set you can style with sneakers or slides and still look pulled together. This set isn't just comfy, it's fun too. The bold red shade will brighten up your travel day, and the half-zip sweatshirt with wide-leg pant combo gives you that cushiony, 'light as air' feel Spanx is known for. Whether you're layering up for a chilly fight or running out the door to catch a train, it's a throw-on-and-go look that still feels polished. This matching set checks every box: travel-ready, breathable, and easy to wear beyond the airport. The cropped pants are perfect if you're flying during the tricky summer-to-fall transition, and the top easily pairs with jeans or a skirt post-trip. It's the kind of under-$40 find you'll want to grab in more than one color. This set is already flying off the virtual shelves—and for good reason. The VintageSoft fabric feels brushed on the inside, smooth on the outside, and is currently up to 50 percent off. Go for an all-white monochrome look for a chic take on sweats, or mix and match if you're packing light. This lightweight, cotton-blend Aritzia set was practically made for beach-bound travelers. The loose, breathable fit works just as well for airport security as it does lounging poolside. The button-up top can be worn open with a tank or buttoned up as a breezy cover-up. Bonus: The blue shade is stunning in vacation pics. This set lives up to its name—it feels cool to the touch, drapes like a dream, and makes for a smooth, no-fuss outfit on long flights. The Seasoft fabric is stretchy and silky without being clingy, and the elegant cut means you won't look like you're in pajamas when you land. Love a great deal?

Hailey Bieber Is Embracing the Summer Goth Aesthetic
It's difficult to be low-key on a shopping trip to Bottega Veneta, but Hailey Bieber made a good go at it. Photographed yesterday in the L.A. store on Melrose Place, the Rhode founder opted for an easy, all-black ensemble. She wore a fitted black knit t-shirt with a scooped back, black capri pants, and heeled sandals, paired with a Bottega bag and oval sunglasses—her latest lemon yellow Rhode phone case the only pop of color. By any standards, it was a classic Hailey Bieber look, a failsafe fashion formula that ticks off summer trends (she loves the divisive cropped pants shape and a flip-flop) while being wearable and relaxed—perfect for picking up more bits at Bottega. While a dark monochromatic moment might seem incongruous with a long, hot summer in Los Angeles, the summer goth aesthetic has been living large among celebrities. Take Margot Robbie on the beach in Ibiza in a silky, sheer black maxi dress for one. BACKGRID USA GAMR/SPOT / BACKGRID Photo: Splash News Bieber has long been a Bottega Veneta devotee; it makes sense, aligning on the clean, minimal aesthetic with considered pops of color and sumptuous, luxe fabrics and silhouettes. The house is inherently linked to the it-girls that propeled 'quiet luxury' into the sartorial stratosphere. Over the years, she's stepped out in unreleased sneakers and a pretty wild pair of BV feather jeans, toted the house's oversized pouch bag in a rainbow of colors, kickstarted the viral drop earrings moment alongside Kylie Jenner, and walked red carpets in the house's ultra feminine, sensual silhouetted gowns. She's got an extensive Bottega bag selection, slinging the Jodie bag around as well as using the Hop bag as a must-have mommy accessory. It remains to be seen what yesterday's shopping trip yielded.
