Old Navy High-Waisted Linen-Blend Super Wide-Leg Pants and Linen-Blend Short-Sleeve Smocked Top
Old Navy Linen and Crinkle Gauze Staples
TFGers are getting summer ready, taking advantage of Old Navy’s affordable prices (and frequent sales!) to stock up on linen and crinkle gauze essentials.
Their airy, comfortable, and stylish Wide-Leg Linen-Blend Pants are a consistent favorite, while the Fit & Flare Midi Dress offers a chic, sophisticated silhouette that flatters a variety of body types.
Crinkle gauze pieces, like the Short-Sleeve Popover Top and High-Waisted Barrel `Ankle Pants, are lightweight, breathable, and perfect for beach-to-street outfits, making them ideal for hot-weather destinations.

Land’s End Squall Packable Waterproof Raincoat
Waterproof, windproof, and light enough to pack into its own pocket, the Lands’ End Packable Raincoat is a no-brainer for travel. It’s a versatile, travel-friendly spring layer that works just as well for city breaks as it does for light outdoor adventures, and minimalist packing.
I finally gave it a try, and the verdict? It’s one of the cutest and most flattering rain jackets I’ve ever worn. It cinches in at just the right spot, has a sleek, streamlined silhouette, and somehow still feels lightweight and breathable.

Now also available in a longer length for those who prefer extra protection and coverage.
Vionic Winny Low Top Sneakers
The No.1 brand with TFG readers for footwear that looks great and cares for your feet, the Vionic Winny Low Top Sneakers deliver exactly that. Made from soft leather with a clean, minimalist silhouette, they pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses.
Whether you’re wandering European streets, navigating airport terminals, or exploring closer to home, Vionic’s signature orthotic support provides all-day comfort with excellent arch support and cushioning. The removable footbed also lets you add your own insoles if you need even more support.
Shop Sizes: XS-4X Regular | XS-XL Petite | S-XL Tall: J.Jill
J.Jill Wearever Smooth-Knit Jeans
J.Jill is consistently recommended by our readers as one of the best brands for travel pants, and this month their Wearever Smooth-Knit Jeans are once again taking the top spot.
They deliver fuss-free style with a pull-on elastic waistband and ultra-comfortable cotton-knit denim that feels as relaxed as your favorite lounge pants, while still maintaining a classic straight-leg silhouette. The result? Effortless comfort with a polished look that works just as well for long-haul flights and sightseeing as it does for evenings out.
Shop Sizes XS-XXL: Natural Life
Natural Life Rebecca Midi Dress
Looking to add a little boho flair to your wardrobe? The Natural Life Rebecca Midi Dress is an easy, stylish option for warm-weather days. Versatile and effortlessly chic, it can be dressed up or down with minimal effort, and yes, it has pockets!
After seeing how popular this brand has become with our community over the past year, especially with the Rebecca Midi Dress, I had to check it out. Their pieces are super cute and fun. And since we all know I’m obsessed with jumpsuits, I’m excited to try their Sedona Jumpsuit… will report back!
Honorable Mentions
While they didn’t quite make the top five, these standout items definitely deserve a shoutout, too.
Shop: KURU
KURU Atom 2 Sneaker
After capturing our community’s attention last year with their Atom Lumi Waterproof Boots, KURU is now stealing the spotlight with their Atom 2 Sneakers.
Featuring the brand’s signature KURUSOLE technology, these sneakers cradle the heel and provide targeted arch support to keep foot fatigue at bay. Multi-layer cushioning softens every step, while the breathable mesh upper and sleek, sporty silhouette make them effortlessly versatile.
Loved by those with plantar fasciitis, they offer wide widths and a roomy toe box so you can explore all day with confidence.
Shop Sizes XS-XXL: Kohl’s
Flx by Kohl’s Pull-On Tricot Trousers
After one TFGer praised their flattering fit, effortless wear, and affordability, the FLX Tricot Trousers from Kohl’s quickly caught the community’s attention.
Their flowy wide-leg silhouette offers a polished, sophisticated look that works from casual days in sneakers to dressier evenings in flats. Lightweight with four-way stretch and a pull-on waistband, they’re the perfect choice for long flights or full days of sightseeing.
Shop Sizes Regular XS-XL | Petite XS-XL | Plus 1X-3X: Land’s End | Nordstrom
Lands End Fine Gauge Cotton Button Front Blazer Sweater
Another standout bestseller from Lands’ End this March, this Cotton Blazer Sweater delivers effortless polish with everyday ease and comfort, perfect for everything from casual meetings to weekend brunch.
Thoughtful details include a hidden interior zippered pocket providing a secure spot for small essentials such as your phone or ID. And with its sweater-soft feel, it packs easily and stays cozy wherever your travels take you.
Shop Sizes XS-XL: Sexy Modest
Sexy Modest Brigitte Brianna Essential Three Piece Set
If you’re looking for an effortless airplane outfit, the Brigitte Brianna Essential Set by SexyModest is a perfect choice. Its smooth, wrinkle-resistant fabric will keep you looking polished from takeoff to landing, even on long-haul flights.
The Habit Pants feature a comfy elastic waistband that doesn’t dig in and convenient pockets, while the versatile Square Top Tank layers effortlessly under the relaxed Lifestyle Cardigan, which completes the look.
With its everyday style, the mix-and-match pieces allow for multiple outfit combinations from just a few essentials, making this set a versatile addition to any travel wardrobe.
Beis The Weekender Bag
Last month, the Béis Travel Mirror made it onto our February Reader Must-Haves, now our community is turning its attention to the brand’s bestselling Weekender Bag. Designed with a wide, easy-access opening, it makes packing (and unpacking) a breeze, while the separate bottom compartment keeps shoes neatly stored and out of the way.
I recently picked up both the Medium Check-In Roller and the Weekender Bag in Maple Brown, and the color is actually really pretty. I intentionally chose something a little different so it would stand out.
While I haven’t put the Weekender Bag to the test just yet, I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the Medium Check-In Roller after it survived a very chaotic first journey, complete with delays and some serious baggage-handling drama.
