These tops are our go-to for travel. On their own or under a jacket or cardigan, they really hold up. You can wear them over and over without washing and they're comfy enough to sleep in. Love them for the plane—you can curl up and relax, read or watch a movie.

This is our “Dinner Top,” and every travel wardrobe should have one. No one does ruffles or the color brown like Ralph Lauren, and here, they're combined for a stunning look. Just imagine all eyes on you as you stroll through the lobby, coat slung on your sleeve, heading for the lounge. Pair this with the stretch wool pants, Pumps and a clutch and you have a look that says night-time glamour in any language.

Wow! That is what we said when we saw this jacket—so stylish and well priced. Talk about a dress-up, dress-down piece. This one has it all, including the burnt caramel color that really pops with our color scheme.

These pants are so comfortable and always look great. We'd wear them on the plane and over and over again. They don’t lose their shape after hours of shopping, sight-seeing or lounging.

This is the perfect skirt to throw on with flats and black tights for a day look, or dress up with pumps and take it to the office. It pairs with every other piece shown in this slide show, which is what makes it such a valuable and versatile part of your travel wardrobe.

We know that Tory did not actually invent the ballet flat—but she has taken to an art form. We like a little structure in our flats and these are the perfect pair to add a little punch of one of the season’s hot fashion trends, animal prints. Psst: Always pop a Dr. Scholl’s insert into your flats for endless hours of comfortable walking.

Seriously, Michael Kors has so many handsome totes, it was hard to decide on one. It came down to the orange ostrich (punch of color, statement piece) which, we think, is a true knock out. Too much color for you? It also comes in black.

We love shopping Topshop for accessories and found this statement necklace there. You can pair it with your LBD or with both your day blouse and dinner top to add a little shine. We love the subtle matte finish of the “beaten discs.”

When there is simply not enough room for sneakers, we like to pack these Fit Flops. If you haven’t tried them, you are in for a treat. They have "Microwobbleboard™ technology." In English: the sole has subtle instability that challenges the wearer's legs.  These are the most comfortable, supportive shoes we have ever worn, and we often throw them in our bag for long distance walking and overnight flights.

This cozy-comfy top is so good for lounging in the room, going to the gym or out for a morning hike. And with its flattering V neck and slim fit, it could just as well take you to the lobby for a little people watching.
