As a Frequent Flier, My Secret to Effortless Travel Style Is a Blazer-Here Are 8 Favorites From $37

"Full disclosure: If you ever catch me on Zoom, I will invariably be wearing a crisp blazer on top-and gym shorts on the bottom. A blazer instantly makes me feel more professional and polished, even if the reality off-camera tells a different story. The same philosophy guides my packing strategy: I always include a blazer, my go-to travel essential that helps me look "rested and ready" even when I'm jetlagged, bleary, and thousands of miles from the next laundry day."

"In fact, I have a closet full of blazers, ranging from casual denim to dressed-up wool and lightweight linen to warm leather. Even as the styles change, I find many of my travel blazers have a timeless look that endures, so my investment pieces end up making their way around the world in my suitcase season after season. From budget-friendly buys to splurge-worthy staples, here are eight of my favorite blazers sure to become your new travel go-tos."

"This one skates the line between a cardigan sweater and a proper blazer-and that's what I love about it. It's super soft and has a looser fit, so you can wear it comfortably even on the plane. But it's also got some of the structure of a blazer, with a lapel neckline, so it looks plenty polished. It comes in 10 colors, all neutral and versatile hues."

A blazer provides a quick way to appear professional and polished while traveling, even when comfort is prioritized off-camera. A single blazer can serve as a go-to travel essential that helps one look rested and ready despite jetlag, limited laundry, or long trips. A variety of fabrics — denim, wool, linen, leather — offer options for different climates and occasions, and many travel blazers retain a timeless look season after season. Blazers range from budget-friendly, machine-washable styles to higher-quality constructions available in inclusive sizes and varied colors and textures. Hybrid cardigan-blazer designs combine softness and structure for plane comfort without sacrificing polish.
