Fashion month has just ended, and with fall getaways in the works—including a few relaxing long weekends after the shows—the Vogue team is heading off in different directions. Some are going to Berlin for a marathon, others to Upstate New York for an open-air art museum, and many to destination weddings. Their itineraries have little in common, but their travel outfits tell a different story.

Curious about how our editors dress for freezing plane cabins and long hours crammed in a car, we asked the team. From weekender bags that hold a surprising amount to roomy sweaters that have become frequent flier staples and sneakers that get you through security with ease, here are 10 editor-approved fall travel outfits to inspire your own.
Talia Abbas, shopping director
“I was traveling especially light on a recent trip to Berlin and Paris—half my carry-on was dedicated to running gear for the Berlin marathon—so my airport outfit was really just another version of my everyday uniform. Ballet flats and black pants are my kind of comfortable (La Ligne’s Colby pants especially so), and I always wear my jacket to save space. I’m loyal to the plane sweater, and this time I brought a simple cashmere crewneck from Jenni Kayne. My Alex Mill weekender holds all the extras I can’t fit in my suitcase, including a small day bag to use throughout the trip.”

Taylor Lashley, senior manager, social media
“My fall travel schedule starts with the September fashion month circuit and ends with a few trips around the holidays, so comfort is key for the long days ahead. I’m currently layering my go-to basics with a cozy flannel from Every Other Thursday on top, sweats that could pass as trousers, and accessories I’ll use for the entire trip.”

Elly Leavitt, lifestyle editor, shopping
“Normally, I’m a jeans-on-the-plane kind of traveler, but this fall I’m headed to Egypt and facing a 13-hour trip with some trepidation. So instead I’m looking for something a little softer and more loungewear-like; these low-rise poplin pants are currently top of my list. I’ve been wearing my Jenni Kayne cashmere quarter-zip non-stop this month, so that’s coming too, along with some staple pieces from Éterne and Quince for layering.”

Kiana Murden, beauty editor, shopping: “Traveling is all about comfort, which is why I generally do so in a maxi skirt. Leg coverage and warmth without the restriction of pants? Yes please! That is, until I found an incredibly roomy pair of balloon pants. My saving grace on my red-eye to Paris, these things are like elevated pajamas. Paired with a crisp white tee, ballet flats, and a long trench, you have a stylish airport outfit without sacrificing comfort.” Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Cos Gathered Balloon Pants $99 COS Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Madewell The Relaxed Tee $65 MADEWELL Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Margaux The Demi Flats $290 NORDSTROM $290 MARGAUX Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Sézane Lior Coat $415 SÉZANE
Andrea Zendejas, shopping market editor: “I just got back from Lake Como and Milan, and this is what I wore on my flight there. I always travel with a soft cashmere sweater, The Park trousers (they look put-together, but they’re incredibly comfortable), and a long white tee. My Away carry-on and a large personal bag hold all the essentials. This fall, I am taking weekend trips to Upstate New York and Boston, and making this my uniform.” Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Jenni Kayne Cropped V-Neck Sweater $485 SHOPBOP Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Uniqlo Crew Neck T-Shirt $20 UNIQLO Save to wishlist Save to wishlist The Park Tessa Pants $415 THE PARK Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Jamie Haller Suede Penny Loafers $625 SHOPBOP Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Prada Bonnie Bag $395 PRADA Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Away The Bigger Carry-On $348 AWAY
Kasey Busiel, marketing and production manager: “My suitcase has found a new home in the middle of our living room floor. Why not put it away, you might ask? Because after the needed load of laundry, my bag will be repacked with pretty much the same essential items and zipped back up again by next weekend. Our fall travel calendar has been largely consumed by weddings—and after attending enough of them, I’ve perfected my travel uniform. To survive the flight home after each celebration, my plane outfit needs to maximize comfort. Relaxed trousers and oversized sweaters are always my go-tos.” Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Cos Rounded Trench Coat $229 COS Save to wishlist Save to wishlist J.Crew Oversized Sweater $198 J.CREW Save to wishlist Save to wishlist The Frankie Shop Nayen Track Pants $225 THE FRANKIE SHOP Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Miu Miu Miu Regard Sunglasses $515 MIU MIU
Minty Mellon, shopping market editor: “When traveling, I like to wear pieces that can work throughout my trip but would take up too much room in my carry-on. This ensemble has quickly become my go-to: my favorite jeans from Aflalo, a classic striped tee, and a raffia carryall from The Row. Whether I’m heading home to L.A. or escaping upstate to Storm King (if the group chat can finally pull through), I know these pieces will always have a place in my rotation.” Save to wishlist Save to wishlist H&M Long-Sleeved Top $13 H&M Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Nili Lotan Towns Boots $1,390 NET-A-PORTER Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Aflalo Leary Jeans $430 AFLALO Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Thistles The Al Sunglasses $380 NET-A-PORTER Save to wishlist Save to wishlist The Row Georgia Tote Bag $2,500 THE ROW Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Madewell Silk Bandana $68 BLOOMINGDALE’S
Alexandra Buell, commerce producer: “This fall, I’m heading to Vermont with my husband and some of our closest friends to admire the colorful foliage and soak up all that the season has to offer. For the trip, I’ll be prioritizing cozy layers and versatile pieces that make getting dressed—and traveling—a breeze. I rely on Calpak for dependable luggage wherever I go, and I’ll be filling my suitcase with soft, comfortable staples from With Nothing Underneath, White + Warren, and Donni.” Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Calpak Ambeur Carry-On $245 NORDSTROM Save to wisSave to wishlist

Conçetta Ciarlo, beauty shopping writer
“I’m in several serious long-distance relationships—none of them romantic. It’s just that several of my closest friends live across the pond. Instead of a highly coveted visa, I visit them as much as I can to satisfy my desperate urge to escape America. On the way there, I try to balance being comfortable with not looking like a total slob, so I can sleep on my red-eye and land feeling as put-together as possible.”

Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer
“This fall I’m traveling home to chilly Montreal, right in time for peak foliage season. Since I usually have access to my mother’s and sisters’ closets while I’m there, I tend to travel light and prioritize keeping space for the cornerstones of my wardrobe: a great jacket, a flattering pair of jeans I can dress up or down, oversized sunglasses, a versatile shoulder bag, and the one pair of shoes I can’t live without—my Repettos. And because I refuse to check a bag for such a short trip, Away’s updated carry-on is the perfect travel companion.”
