As someone who loves to plan trips on a whim, finding last-minute flights and hotels can seem like a breeze in comparison to planning which outfits I should pack. While booking a spur-of-the-moment getaway can be fun, it often means having a wide-open itinerary — which requires versatile clothes that can work for a variety of occasions. Having taken my fair share of such impulsive trips over the years, though, I’ve been able to pin down classic and functional styles to wear on just about any excursion my free-spirited brain might book.
If you, like me, are usually stumped on what clothes you should pack on your next trip, I’ve got you covered. I’ve used my current rotation of surefire travel pieces to bring you 10 Amazon styles that can work for just about any itinerary. Ahead, you’ll find roomy jumpsuits, cozy matching sets, and multi-purpose separates suited for every kind of traveler — all under $50, no less.
Lentta Women’s Harem Overall Jumpsuit
Amazon
I can’t recommend overall-style jumpsuits enough for a no-fuss, comfy travel outfit. You can wear them over tank tops, T-shirts, or even use them as a swimsuit coverup. I especially love Free People’s Hot Shot jumpsuit, but this $26 Amazon option is a great alternative if you’re trying to stick to a budget. It has a similar relaxed silhouette with deep slant pockets and adjustable spaghetti straps.
Happy Sailed Women’s Long-sleeved Jumpsuit
Amazon
While we’re on the topic of jumpsuits, I love to pack a dressier option that can work for dinner and drinks on the town. This gorgeous pick, on sale for just $26 and available in 10 colors, has feminine, flowy sleeves and a stretchy, figure-hugging bodice that can be worn with or without a belt. And, drumroll, please — it even has pockets!
Btfbm Women’s 2-piece Skirt Set
Amazon
Looking for something that’s comfy but a little more… alluring? Look no further than this slinky, figure-hugging matching skirt set. It’s made with a stretchy elastic-blend fabric and comes with a sleeveless mock neck top and a side-slit skirt to match. Available in eight colors and carried up to a size 2XL (or a US size 20, per the size chart), this set would turn heads with a cropped leather jacket and boots or chunky hoops and wedge sandals.
Anrabess Women’s 2-piece Lounge Set
Amazon
After boarding hundreds of planes throughout my life, I refuse to wear anything but loungewear on flights. My go-to is usually a hooded sweatsuit, but if I’m trying to pack light, I’ll wear a more elevated matching set that can be worn together or separately for multiple purposes. This Anrabess set, for example, comes with a sleeveless pocket tee that can be worn with jeans, leggings, or dresses, plus a pair of matching wide-leg pants that can similarly be worn with sweaters or tanks.
Anrabess Women’s Sleeveless Capri Set
Amazon
Heading somewhere warm? Stash this breezy linen matching set into your carry-on for a one-and-done outfit. This Anrabess set shines in its simplicity. Its sparse yet interesting design details — like the wide, flat waist and full-button back closure — make it easy to accessorize to your heart’s desires. Great for hanging poolside or exploring the grounds of a resort, this set is an easy outfit suited for your next beach getaway.
Aoysky Women’s Cable Knit Hooded Cardigan
Amazon
It’s no secret that cardigans are great for layering, but if you want a sweater that’ll work overtime on your trip, reach for a longer, coat-like silhouette. Shorter cardigans demand high-waisted bottoms and often lack pockets, further limiting their functionality while traveling. This sweater, however, comes with deep front pockets, a cozy hood, and a below-knee length that suits jeans, leggings, jumpsuits, and casual dresses.
Evaless Women’s Wide-leg Palazzo Pants
Amazon
If you’re planning a last-minute getaway and haven’t nailed down all of the details of your trip, I highly recommend packing a pair of comfy trousers that can be dressed up or down at a moment’s notice. These wide-leg palazzo pants are great for the job: They’ve got an elastic waistband at the back for comfort but have pleats and belt loops at the front that add an elevated touch. Pair them with sandals and a tank top for a relaxed beachside look, or step into loafers and a blouse for a work trip-appropriate ensemble.
Libin Women’s Cargo Joggers
Amazon
If my itinerary is packed full of outdoor activities and tours, I make sure to throw in a pair of lightweight cargo pants into my suitcase. Considering they’re comfy, on-trend, and have multiple storage pockets, cargos are a no-brainer for hikes, walks, and casual outings. These Libin joggers are especially great for travel since they’re stretchy, moisture-wicking, and (bonus!) provide UPF 50+ protection from the sun.
Omoone Women’s Oversized Denim Jacket
Amazon
If I’m heading somewhere with mild weather, I always make sure to pack a “just in case” jacket. And if my travel plans include a wide variety of activities, I usually reach for an oversized denim jacket that I can layer with. I love that this option from Omoone falls below the hips, which adds some extra coverage on top of leggings, and has deep pockets throughout for storage. Plus, more than a handful of reviewers (like this shopper) reported that it’s lightweight — a must for staying comfortable despite varying temperatures.
Hugoome Women’s Oversized Drop Shoulder T-shirt
Amazon
Never underestimate the power of a basic T-shirt. This option checks everything on my list when it comes to the qualities that make up a perfect T-shirt: It’s roomy, stretchy, and has a thick banded crew neck and drop-shoulder sleeves that provide a vintage, lived-in feel. One five-star reviewer compared this style to a higher-priced version, adding that this staple makes their wardrobe “so much easier.”
