What are the best wrinkle-free travel clothes?

There is a big increase in traveling this summer as we get to leave our houses and explore. Whether you are headed to relax in the great outdoors, explore a busy city or travel for work, you will need to pack correctly for your trip. 

After a year of sweatpants and athleisure wear, it’s easy to forget some of the hassles of packing. For many business travelers or those going on extended trips, a suitcase full of wrinkled clothes can add another layer of stress. Luckily, there are many wrinkle-free clothes made specifically for travel to help you look your best during your time away. 

How to avoid wearing wrinkled clothes when traveling 

Choose wrinkle-free fabrics

When packing, look for fabrics and clothes that are wrinkle-free. There are many options for every occasion, so you can easily pack without needing an iron or steamer.  

Pack with wrinkles in mind

Slate Travel Garment Folder

Choosing a wrinkle-free bag or a packing technique that will limit wrinkles, such as rolling your clothes. A wrinkle-free garment folder can be a lifesaver when traveling as can well-packed garment bags.

Wrinkle-removing accessories

Hilife Steamer for Clothes Steamer

It might not be practical to travel with an iron, and if you’re not in a hotel room that provides one, your portable steamer and wrinkle release spray can help release any set-in wrinkles.
