Travel can be one of the most exciting parts of life, offering a chance to explore new places, meet new people, and make unforgettable memories. But packing for a trip—especially when you want to stay active—can be a challenge. The key is to choose versatile, comfortable pieces that keep you moving with ease while looking effortlessly stylish. At Inner Joy Activewear Company, our collection is designed to do just that, making it easy to pack light without sacrificing comfort or style.
Here are some packing tips and essential pieces to make active travel a breeze.
Choose Versatile Tops That Work Double Duty
When it comes to travel, less is more—especially if you want to avoid checked baggage fees or hauling around heavy suitcases. That’s why versatile tops that can work for both workouts and casual outings are a must.
The Everywear Tank is a perfect choice for active travelers. Made from lightweight, breathable fabric, it’s ideal for hikes, yoga, or even just exploring local markets. It's simple yet flattering design also makes it easy to layer under jackets for a more polished look. For cooler days, the Easy-On Turtleneck Top offers both warmth and sophistication, transitioning easily from daytime activities to dinner out.
Another travel-friendly pick is the Simply Stylish ¾ T. Its 3/4 sleeves provide a bit of extra warmth for chilly flights or evening walks, and the soft, wrinkle-resistant fabric means it’ll stay fresh even after hours in your suitcase. Pair it with leggings for a morning run, then swap in a pair of tailored pants for a day of sightseeing.
Pack Light with Multi-Purpose Pants
The key to packing light is choosing pants that can be mixed and matched with different tops to create multiple outfits. The A Must Have Pleated Pant is a standout in this category. Its sleek, pleated design looks polished enough for dinner yet offers the stretch and comfort you need for a day of exploring. Wear it with The Everywear Tank for daytime adventures or the Easy-On Turtleneck for a chic evening look.
For more casual days, the Forever Comfy Jogger is a travel essential. Its relaxed fit and soft fabric make it perfect for everything from long flights to hotel workouts. The jogger’s streamlined design ensures you will have a great look, even when you’re prioritizing comfort.
If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, the Fits to a T Pant offers a sleek look that’s as appropriate for a museum tour as it is for a morning walk. Its stretch fabric and tailored cut ensure you can move freely while still looking effortlessly chic.
Layer Up with Lightweight Jackets
Weather can be unpredictable when you’re traveling, making layers a must. The Buttery Button Shirt Jacket is an ideal option for active travelers. It’s lightweight enough to wear during flights but warm enough for early morning runs or cool evenings. The soft, buttery fabric feels luxurious, while the button-up design makes it easy to adjust your layers throughout the day.
For a more refined option, the LeeAnn’s Swing Coat offers both warmth and elegance. Its flowing design pairs beautifully with everything from joggers to pleated pants, making it a versatile layer for both casual and dressier outings. Plus, its soft, packable fabric means it won’t take up much space in your suitcase.
Maximize Space with Smart Packing Tips
Packing efficiently isn’t just about what you pack—it’s also about how you pack. Here are a few tips to make the most of your suitcase space:
-
Roll, Don’t Fold: Rolling clothes instead of folding them not only saves space but also minimizes wrinkles. This technique is especially useful for soft, flexible pieces like the Forever Comfy Jogger and The Everywear Tank.
-
Pack Outfits, Not Items: Rather than packing individual pieces, think in terms of complete outfits. Lay out your outfits before packing to ensure everything coordinates, reducing the risk of packing things you won’t wear.
-
Choose Neutrals: A neutral color palette—think black, grey, navy, and beige—makes it easier to mix and match pieces. The A Must Have Pleated Pant and Fits to a T Pant, for example, can be paired with any top for a cohesive look.
-
Prioritize Wrinkle-Resistant Fabrics: Choosing pieces made from wrinkle-resistant fabrics, like the Simply Stylish ¾ T and the Buttery Button Shirt Jacket, ensures you’ll look fresh and ready to go, and no need to iron.
Active Days Made Easy
Travel often involves long days of walking, hiking, or exploring new cities, so choosing comfortable footwear and clothing is essential. Opt for breathable, flexible pieces like The Everywear Tank and the Fits to a T Pant, which can handle everything from walking tours to yoga sessions.
For chillier mornings or evening walks, layer up with the Easy-On Turtleneck and the LeeAnn’s Swing Coat. This combination offers just the right balance of warmth and breathability, ensuring you stay comfortable no matter where the day takes you.
Stay Organized on the Go
Packing cubes are a game-changer for keeping your suitcase organized, especially if you’re hopping between destinations. Use one cube for workout gear—like the Forever Comfy Jogger and The Everywear Tank—and another for casual or dressier pieces, like the A Must Have Pleated Pant and Easy-On Turtleneck.
A travel-friendly tote bag is another must-have, providing space for water bottles, snacks, and a change of clothes without weighing you down.
Ready, Set, Go!
Packing light doesn’t mean sacrificing style or comfort. With a thoughtfully curated selection of versatile, high-quality pieces, you can simplify your suitcase and ensure you’re ready for anything—from yoga on the beach to dinner with a view.
