My workday consists of scouring the internet for the best fashion deals and most stylish travel outfits, but before working as a shopping writer, I helped people shop in brick-and-mortar stores, too. As a stylist at Free People, I frequently sold essential basics, comfy athleisure, and some of the best travel clothes around.
I helped shoppers fill their suitcases for trips to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia — and certain styles made the packing list time and time again. Right now, I’ve spotted some of the most popular Free People clothes up to 65 percent off. Take it from a former employee: These deals are worth shopping.
Sunbeam Oversize Turtleneck Sweater
Nordstrom
A cozy oversized sweater will look stylish anywhere in the world. This one gets rave reviews for its comfort, warmth, and versatility. Snag one of the sophisticated neutrals, including a heavily discounted camel color, and you’ll be able to wear this sweater multiple ways throughout your trip.
Patricia Packable Poncho Puffer
Free People
When I worked at Free People, nearly every fellow employee owned one of the brand’s packable jackets. They’re lightweight, surprisingly warm, and pack into themselves for easy traveling. This quilted jacket will keep you toasty in cold destinations with its longer length, fleece-lined collar, and down-alternative filling.
Tahiti Herringbone Cargo Pants
Nordstrom
Trust me: You’ll want to snag these pants while you can because they fly off the shelves. During my time as a Free People employee, I sold so many of these pants to travelers. They’re comfortable enough for long travel days thanks to the elastic waistband and loose fit, while the summery cargo style makes them so stylish for warm-weather destinations.
A Cut Above Slim Joggers
Free People
Joggers have been in style for years, and it looks like they’re not going anywhere. I always spot this comfy style in the airport, and this Free People version is 61 percent off today. Made of 100 percent cotton, they’ll feel soft against your skin, and you’ll be thankful for the drawstring that lets you customize the fit. They remind me so much of a similar pair that flew off the shelves when I worked in the store, and this pair has a matching zip-up, too.

Pair your new favorite joggers (see above) with this heavy-weight sweater that will keep you cozy on chilly flights.
