Every time I’m getting ready to leave for a trip, there’s one thing that always crosses my mind when it’s just a little too late: What am I going to wear on the plane?! I know it might seem like it doesn’t matter, but I always like to put together travel outfits that are at least a little bit stylish and put-together.

After all, you really never know what can happen during a day of travel. You could have a chance encounter with a celebrity, you could make a new friend, you could run into someone you know, or you could even be forced to repurpose your travel outfit in the case of missing luggage. And truly, who doesn’t want to give off mysterious cool mom energy at the airport?

That’s why we’ve put together five mom-friendly travel outfits—whether you’re flying, traveling by train, or going on a road trip—that are both stylish and comfortable. Check them out below:

Classic Athleisure Travel Outfit

This look combines the best of both worlds: comfy loungewear and chic athleisure. Perfect for long travel days and keeping up with your little ones, this ‘fit will have you feeling ready for your next adventure.
