Travel Plans? Pack These 9 Comfy and Elevated Travel Outfit Staples Our Editors Love

Travel is exciting, but the countdown to the destination can be stressful. Whether you’re heading on a spring trip or starting to book fun summer getaways, it helps to strategize travel outfits ahead of time to ensure comfort, versatility, and, most crucially, lightweight luggage. 

Beachy brand Fair Harbor exemplifies resort-style travel staples with ease. Think breezy sundresses, supportive swimsuits, breathable loungewear, and colorful motifs reminiscent of styles on The White Lotus—but actually practical. Below, shop editor-loved pieces we’re already packing for spring travel. 

Editor-Approved Fair Harbor Travel Outfit Staples

Avalon Dress

“Living in Los Angeles, my spring and summer wardrobe consists of pieces that can be worn to the beach and then straight to dinner. The Avalon dress is designed exactly for this scenario, but the thick material and flattering design make it a staple for any warm-weather outing. The small details on this piece give it extra flair, including flutter sleeves, crochet stitching, and an A-line shape. I plan to wear it with heels, sandals, and sneakers all season.” — Rachel Trujillo, Writer

Corliss Skort

“I’m a massive fan of skorts, especially activewear styles, and this style from Fair Harbor is easily my new favorite. I’m excited to wear this once temperatures start warming up more on the East Coast. The shorts are comfortable without being too constricting, and the fabric is so breathable. I’ll be set with its built-in odor control and quick-dry capability on extremely hot days.” — Ali Faccenda, Associate Editor

Saltaire Sweatpant

“Comfy sweatpants are an in-flight essential for me, but some can be way too hot in the sunny seasons. The Saltaire Sweatpants are ideal for spring and summer travel because they’re incredibly lightweight and breathable. I won’t be breaking a sweat on my way to the airport, but I’ll enjoy all their cozy softness once I’m seated on the (often chilly) plane. I’m coveting the matching Saltaire Half Zip next to complete the perfect travel lounge set.” — Olivia Cigliano, Writer

Atlantic One Piece

“Packing a one-piece swimsuit is one of my favorite travel hacks. Not only can you wear it beside the pool or on the beach, but it also doubles as a bodysuit teamed with denim shorts or linen pants. I love that this one features removable bra cups, a full-coverage bottom, flattering compression, and elongating high-cut legs.” — Olivia Cigliano, Writer

Saltaire Tee

“I love having a generous selection of basics in my collection that I can mix and match with any skirts, shorts, or jeans. This gently cropped T-shirt has a vintage-washed look that I’ve been a big fan of lately, and its boxy fit will be perfect for casual days.” — Ali Faccenda, Associate Editor
