The 15 Best Travel Clothes for Fall That Won’t Wrinkle in Your Suitcase — Starting at $23

Even though there are plenty of highly functional portable irons and steamers out there, you may not always have room to pack one in your luggage — or, it’s likely that you just don’t want to deal with the extra step of straightening out your clothing after a long travel day. Our solution? Stocking up on the best wrinkle-free travel outfits for this fall and winter. 

The pieces that you’ll see ahead are ready to keep you warm and cozy as the temperatures drop, but will still be in perfect condition when you arrive at your destination (think: luxuriously wrinkle-resistant cashmere and stylish shape-retaining wool bouclé). When shopping on your own, Tuckernuck co-founder Madeline Grayson recommends paying close attention to the fabric and construction: "You can opt for thick fabrics like tweed, knit, or ponte. When it comes to cotton and crepe, look for a hint of spandex or polyester (in the fabrication), which helps keep the garment wrinkle-free.” 

Overall, we've chosen a range of essentials that will allow you to, of course, be comfortable on the plane or any other mode of transportation while still looking put-together enough to transition right into whatever’s next on your itinerary. So, take the time to scroll and shop the 15 best wrinkle-free travel clothes for fall before your next trip.
