15 Best Tuckernuck Travel Clothing Finds

Before my life as an expat in Cairo, Egypt, I moved from New York City to Washington D.C. for my husband’s job. As I was settling into the capital city, I immediately headed to the shops in Georgetown for a new wardrobe, and that’s where I came across the popular, D.C.-based retailer Tuckernuck. The attainable, quiet luxury boutique stocked with curated designer pieces was exactly what I was looking for: timeless staples that could work no matter where we ended up in the world. 

It wasn’t enough to stock up on basics; I wanted to invest in everything from a quality white tee to a high-end little black dress. Even though I had to spend a bit more than usual to score these must-have items, I knew the amount of use I’d get out of each piece made my haul more than worth it. Pro tip: For those who can’t make it to D.C., Tuckernuck’s online store actually has a much bigger selection, which I took the liberty of scrolling through to bring you the 15 best travel clothing finds. Keep scrolling and you’ll discover some of my favorite Tuckernuck clothing pieces perfect for elevating your on-the-go wardrobe this fall. 

Tuckernuck White Presley Boyfriend Tee

Starting strong with a boxy tee you’ll wear anywhere, given how comfortable it is, this T-shirt has become my go-to plane uniform or carry-on necessity since it can be easily thrown on with a skirt or jeans for a full day of sightseeing. 

I have the T-shirt in white and black but feel free to combine the two hues for a next-level neutral pattern by opting for the black and white stripe option. Moreover, you can customize it, along with most pieces from the Tuckernuck collection, by monogramming it for only an extra $15. 

Tuckernuck Camel Cashmere Knit Tank

Autumn is synonymous with cashmere. The problem is, I find some cashmere sweaters too hot or itchy. But that’s not the case with this Tuckernuck tank, which has a more relaxed flair and unlike long-sleeved options, won’t leave you feeling overheated. Then again, if you do get cold, you could always layer a thick button-down underneath or a thick cardigan on top. Plus, the sleeveless silhouette makes it a solid transition piece come spring. 

Schutz Black Arissa Flats

Interested in dressing up a day-to-day travel outfit while still being comfy enough to walk around and explore in your Instagram-worthy look? This pair of stylish ballet flats can make all the difference. It boasts a chic square toe and can be effortlessly paired with dresses or denim. Snag the versatile leather shoe for less than $100 and don’t look back.      

Tuckernuck Black Jagger Dress

Regardless of how much you travel, you have to have a little black dress you can keep coming back to. It’s a way to appear put together with minimal effort. The only thing is, my pick from Tuckernuck isn’t little at all and that’s what sets it apart from the rest. Instead of a short, dated silhouette, the classic tea-length dress got a flirty makeover with an eye-catching halter neckline and shiny pearl buttons across the front. Pack it up in your carry-on and we guarantee you’ll be turning heads everywhere you go. 

The Great Alpine Cashmere Matching Set

Whether you’re headed home or to a new destination for Thanksgiving or the holidays, you’ll need something cozy to snuggle up in. Luckily, there’s this cashmere matching set from The Great Alpine, which takes the guesswork out of putting together the perfect loungewear look. Wear it around the house and on the plane, or gift it to that special someone who values comfy clothes over everything. 

Tnuck Sport Light Blue Puff-sleeve Campbell Pullover

Next up, a pullover that can instantly go from workout to brunch. When I travel, I’m all about flexible apparel, and this quilted, puff-sleeve sweater complements a tennis or silk skirt and even corduroy pants. It’s also the right level of thickness as a fall or winter sweater layer. On top of it all, the material is quick-drying and has built-in SPF protection.   

Pomander Place Sienna Pants 

No travel wardrobe is complete without a pair of comfortable pants, and the Sienna Pants by Pomander Place are as comfy as they get. The relaxed fit and wide-leg silhouette excuse elegance while the elastic waistband and soft fabric deliver sweatpants-level coziness. Throw in the two side pockets and you’ve got yourself a top contender for best airplane pants. 

Tuckernuck Black Velvet Opal Mini Skirt

Nothing says autumn quite like a black velvet skirt. It’s a not-too-dressy cold-weather travel attire piece that works with a sparkly turtleneck or matching off-the-shoulder blouse. Go on, make a statement at that holiday market or upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. According to reviewers, the skirt is true to size, but be careful as it’s dry clean only. And, many customers also confirmed that it’s a fun length without being too short and inappropriate. Therefore, don’t hesitate to transition it from day to night. 

Hyacinth House Black Tweed Cropped Dinah Top

Remember, versatility is always key when packing for a trip. That’s why I pulled this tweed top, which can be worn on its own as a blouse or layered on top of a tank top or T-shirt like a jacket. Even better, it’s part of a matching set. Add the Black Tweed Dakota Mini Skirt to your cart so you can have an alluring, perfectly coordinated travel outfit at your disposal. 

Remember, you can mix and match the top with other clothes in your suitcase. For instance, why not rock the top with high-waisted jeans or finish off the skirt with a fancy cashmere sweater? That’s the beauty of sets, more is more.  

Tuckernuck Ivory Olivia Rib Knit Polo

It’s time for the quiet luxury version of the polo shirt. Forget the classic cotton material, a flattering rib knit polo is the way to go. Not only is the fabric buttery soft, it’ll hug you in all the right ways. As far as the sleeves go, this is known as the slightly longer ballerina length, which means it’s not so casual and you’ll be able to dress it up with a tasteful mid-length skirt or formal trousers. While there are plenty of neutral tones available, the polo also comes in a bold red hue that I hope you’re daring enough to try.

Z Supply Light Oatmeal Redford Sweater Dress

You can’t go wrong with a sweater dress for a fall getaway, and this almost-sold-out one is made with mohair yarn resulting in unparalleled comfort. Throw it on with some knee-high boots and you’re good to go. When it comes to packing clothes, stick with an elegant staple like this that fits well and is easy to wear. To maintain the piece, just make sure to handwash it with cold water, which is thankfully always readily available wherever you’re staying. 

Tuckernuck Accessories Misty Blue Toile PVC Small Vanity Case

Tuckernuck has an entire section dedicated to luxe travel accessories. It’s packed with pouches, satchels, makeup bags, and my personal favorite, the bright blue small vanity case. In addition to securely housing your toiletries, it can also be used in place of traditional packing cubes to organize your suitcase contents or a purse organizer to keep tech cords, important documents, and other tiny essentials in an easy-to-find spot. 

Tuckernuck Accessories Chocolate Brown Padded Headband

A luxe headband in a trendy chocolate brown color deserves a spot in your cart (and in your carry-on). It’s a no-brainer accessory as it’ll take up no room in your luggage or purse, but it can also have a big impact on your look. The satin accessory adds a sense of sophistication that can elevate your hairstyle. If you don’t want to pack your bulky hair tools like straightener or curling iron, consider the humble headband an underrated, hassle-free solution.

Tuckernuck Accessories Black Croc-embossed Classic Belt

I always keep a classy belt in my carry-on luggage. It’s a practical way to level up a look. I like to coordinate it with a matching sweater that goes over my shoulder and for contrast, a tee in an opposite color underneath. This one is worth adding to your cart because it has seven openings making it highly adjustable. Additionally, the croc-embossed texture can be a fun finishing touch to any bottoms you may have brought along with you. 

Tuckernuck Gold Metallic Winter Hat

You’ll be nice and toasty with this striking sequined beanie that’s less than $50. One thing’s for sure, the joyous gold and silver colors will get you in the holiday spirit and, if you have a packed itinerary, the hat will be your key to staying warm. Pair it with a matching sweater or scarf, and you’ll be ready for any adventure that comes your way.
