42 Problem-Solving Products To Use Out In Nature

Promising review: "It's got good arch support, definitely not waterproof, but dries very fast and doesn't have any pooling water in them. Good for hiking. Not too slippery, good grip on wet rocks. The color is as expected." —DustinGet them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 19 colors and in men's sizes 7–16).
An instant cooling towel, because yes, there actually IS a way you can stay cool during your hikes and runs in 90-degree weather! Just soak it with cold water, wring it out, and drape it around your head or neck for sweet, sweet relief.
A pair of flowy athletic shorts so you can look cute *and* stay as comfy as possible on your summer walks and hikes. They're designed with built-in spandex and a pocket to hold your phone and wallet!
And a pack of three lightweight racerback tanks because the feeling of sleeves sticking to you when it's blazing hot out? No thanks. They're designed with large arm cutouts and sweat-wicking fabric, so you'll probably have 'em on rotation all season long.
A *beary* adorable handheld fan you wouldn't think has the power to keep you cool with how compact it is...but its 53,000+ 5-star ratings prove otherwise.

Promising reviews: "I bought this for a hiking trip to the Smoky Mountains and it did not disappoint! First, we hiked from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. for three days straight, using the bag on each hike. Some hikes were 12 miles, other hikes were less. We hiked in several different weather conditions: sunny/hot and cool/wet/rain. The bag performed perfectly. The first day hiking in the rain (for about 30ish minutes), I did not use the rain cover, and all of my items in the bag remained dry. The next day it rained more, so we used the rain cover, and it did its job and kept the whole bag dry. When we hiked in the heat, the water in the bladder remained cool. I was able to comfortably store my wallet, phone, keys, knife, two sandwich containers, two small bags of chips, and the full water bladder with room to spare. This one bag was used for me and my wife during hikes. The longest hike was up and down a mountain for a total of 12 miles, which took three hours up and 2 1/2 hours down. The water bladder ran out right when we got back to the bottom of the mountain. So, it should be plenty for one person; however, just enough for two." —Krusader171"I purchased this in 2017; it's still working perfectly well in 2025. I use it 5-7 days a week: day hikes, walks to the store, taking my lunch and water to work, and for my computer on road trips. All zippers and clips are still working. No complaints and will replace with another one if this one fails. I'm glad I didn't spend 3x the price on a fancy name brand." —Ray DawleyGet it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 colors).
A picnic blanket with stakes because you're just trying to enjoy a nice, calm lunch at the park, but the wind has other plans for you. With four metal stakes you can just stick into the ground, you'll be eating peacefully instead of running to each corner to try to weigh them down.
Promising review: "This blanket is perfect for our camping! We use it inside our six-person tent as a cover for the floor between the cots. It cleaned up easily after we tracked in grass and dirt. It is water resistant, as claimed. Our dog spilled her water bowl; the water pooled on the top layer. We missed cleaning up some, and it soaked into the top layer over time, but it did not go through the bottom layer. I like the metal grommets for easy staking to the ground for the picnics or shoreside sitting area." —AMSsGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 13 patterns).
A pack of UV-sensing stickers, aka the silent version of your mom nagging you to put on sunscreen. You can stick them anywhere on your skin that's exposed (and needs sunscreen), and they'll darken when they detect UV rays, giving you a peaceful notification to reapply!
A set of claw-shaped hair clips because the last thing you want on a blazing hot day is your hair stuck to your sweaty neck (bleh). Just toss up your locks in one of these claws in seconds (even if you have long, thick hair!!!) and create a gorgeous hairdo.
A sun visor with UPF 50+ that'll protect your eyes and face from the harsh sun and its harmful UV rays — there will be no burns this summer! Major bonus: Instead of your hair getting absolutely flattened like those hydraulic press videos, you'll be able to wear your hair up in a ponytail or messy bun thanks to the open top! And it's easily rolled up, which makes it perfect for packing while traveling.
Cult-fave Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen that'll protect your skin with SPF 40. True to its name, it really is ~unseen~ and doesn't leave a white cast, and it's not greasy either!
Or! La Roche-Posay sunscreen to shield skin from harmful UV rays while helping prevent breakouts at the same time. This SPF 60 oil-free sunscreen is designed for acne-prone skin, absorbs excess oil, and reduces shine.
Or mineral powder sunscreen if you don't like icky, sticky goop being rubbed all around your face. Just dab the brush all over for a matte finish — it also works well as a makeup primer or setting powder! Reviewers also love it for their scalp because it doesn't make their hair greasy (and take it from me, your hair part will DEFINITELY burn if you don't protect it). Over 40,000 customers bought it in the past month, so what does that tell you?
A pack of towel bands, because don't you just hate when your towel flies away when you're not laying on top of it?! (And then you look silly chasing after it — ugh, first-world problems.) This nifty little rubber band will ensure that your towel stays put when you leave it alone to take a dip in the pool.
A pair of beach socks that'll keep your precious feet protected from blazing hot sand and sharp rocks instead of feeling like you're walking on hot coals. You can also wear them into the water so every time your foot grazes against seaweed or algae, you won't scream bloody murder.
A cut-to-size aloe wrap so you can target your sunburn's most painful spots and get some sweet, sweet relief. It's infused with aloe vera, green tea, and vitamin E that'll not only reduce redness and that burning sensation but also hydrate your skin to minimize peeling.
And a tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother if people keep referring to you as Mr. Krabs after a long day under those strong UV rays. The aloe and coconut oil formula will calm burns and hydrate your skin so you don't wince every time your shirt touches your back.
A sand-removal bag because the last thing you want during your relaxing beach day is to lie on all the sand you dragged onto your towel. The powder inside the bag absorbs moisture so the sand comes off effortlessly when you rub it on your body!
A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes if "sweating buckets" don't even begin to describe your 'pits in the summer. Just wipe these under your arms or anywhere else that, um, "sparkles," and your sweat will be controlled for up to seven days!
An anti-chafing balm because the last thing you want to worry about is your skin in the hush-hush spots itching and burning as you sweat. It's scent-free and glides on wherever your need it so your skin will stay silky smooth.
And a set of sexy anti-chafe lace bands if your thighs rub together more than a cricket rubs its legs — which creates that annoying itching and burning. Just slide these onto your legs and enjoy dress season without the chafing!
A mini first aid kit for all your boo-boos while you're out because the outside world can be dangerous. It's small enough to fit in any bag but this baby holds all first aid essentials. Fingers crossed that you'll never get hurt, but you should keep this in your everyday bag to give yourself peace of mind.
A Bug Bite Thing (as seen on Shark Tank) to always keep with you in case those HORRIBLE bugs decide to attack you. Place the suction on top of your bug bite and 🪄abracadabra🪄 — it helps remove the venom that the evil bug left behind. No more swelling or itching, so you can go about your day without anything bothering you.
Or some cooling gel patches because immersing yourself in nature when it's warm means mosquitos and that means itching. One of these will give you up to 12 hours of relief and a cooling treatment for your blisters, bug bites, minor burns, and more so you'll go from ughh to *ahh*.
Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray that'll keep your hair frizz-free and shiny, even when there's humidity, rain, and heat. Nature doesn't stand a chance.
An outdoor fan because the summer breeze simply isn't enough to cool you off. This will circulate air AND prevent any bugs from lingering around.
A bag of Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix, aka your right-hand man this summer because it'll help you stay hydrated while sweating buckets in the sweltering heat. The best part about it is that nostalgic Popsicle Firecracker flavor (which includes cherry, lemon lime, and raspberry)!
The Revlon Volcanic Face Roller because going outside in the heat means a face full of sweat. This soaks up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers!
An anti-blister balm to prevent, well blisters. During your long hikes, you'll want to keep this fairy godmother with you to save your poor feet through all the hardships they're going through.
A pack of deodorant wipes because after being outdoors for a few hours may lead to stinky 'pits. Bring this pack wherever you go and pull one out when you feel like you need to *freshen* up.
A set of trekking poles — you may not think you need 'em for your walks, but once you get to the declines, river crossings, and rocky terrains, you'll think otherwise. They're adjustable and come with interchangeable tips that are going to get you through your hike without a single fall (most likely)!
Promising reviews: "As a less than experienced hiker with horrible joints, I was very nervous to go on a hiking trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. I bought these hiking poles thinking they would shed some of the weight off my knees and ankles. I have NEVER enjoyed hiking more. These poles are my Roman Empire. They saved my life on multiple days and allowed me to keep up with more experienced hikers. They are lightweight and are adjustable in two places. I love them." —Sally"Brought them to New Zealand, where they have been extensively used up and down rugged mountains, traversing thick native bush, and through multiple rocky fast-moving river crossings — these poles stood up to it all!!! They were super easy and quick to adjust to my needs, they are lightweight yet strong. Coming down steep, slippery, muddy slopes in rainy conditions, they kept me upright and saved me from slipping uncountable times. Plus, the handles didn't give me blisters or pain even after using them nonstop for three days in a row. The carry bag is a lovely bonus for storing either in my pack when not needed, or at home in between adventures." —ShellsGet a pair of two from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in eight colors).
A travel-size Tower 28 SOS Spray to rejuvenate and refresh your face throughout the day (with or without makeup) whenever your skin starts to feel a little irritated and starts screaming SOS. The hypochlorous acid, a natural ingredient your skin produces, acts as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to soothe your beautiful skin.
A high-voltage bug zapper because A Bug's Life made those pesky critters seem a lot cuter than they actually are. The blue-violet light draws in bugs, and the voltage zaps 'em upon contact. Now you'll be able to chill in the backyard as long as you like without swatting the air and looking like you're fighting invisible demons.
A Hairbrella if you've been planning your Hawaii trip for months, but to your dismay, the forecast calls for a storm all week. With this satin-lined cap, the weather won't be raining on *your* parade because it'll protect your hair without drying it out or creating frizz! It folds up tightly, and it sure beats having to pack an umbrella.
And a pack of disposable rain ponchos because you're not actually going to let a downpour ruin that hiking trip you've been looking forward to for months, right?
Promising review: "On a two-day hiking trip, I had one of these in my backpack. As a monstrous thunderstorm approached, I covered up with this. It kept me perfectly dry while the sky opened up and rained buckets on us for 15 minutes." —J. WeaverGet a five-pack from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in five colors).

Life Time athletic club opening at 452 Fifth Ave.

The owners of 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, landed another big catch at their tower where Amazon recently signed for 330,000 square feet — and it all started with a game of pickleball. In one of Manhattan's largest retail-space deals this year, burgeoning 'athletic urban country club' Life Time signed for 52,000 square feet on four levels, including in the soon to be vacated, 17,000 square-foot Staples store. It will open in early 2027 behind a prominent Fifth Avenue entrance. The Life Time deal all but completes the leasing picture at the 865,000 address, which consists of three formerly separate structures that include the 10-story Knox Building. Advertisement 4 425 Fifth Avenue, aka 10 Bryant Park between East 39th and 40th streets, center. Google Maps Life Time has 180 clubs in the US and Canada. Chief property development officer Parham Javaheri said 10 Bryant Park checked all the boxes for what he wanted in Midtown. 'We want to serve both our residential and commercial cores,' he said. 'Although the location is obviously more commercial, there's a lot of residential growth nearby as well.' Advertisement Life Time, founded by chairman and CEO Bahram Akradi, has seven other Manhattan locations, two in Brooklyn, and another coming at the supertall Brooklyn Tower condo project. Javaheri said, 'We want to grow methodically. Meaning, we want destinations that let us stay true to what Life Time is, and they require a lot of space.' In fact, several others in the city are even larger than at 10 Bryant Park with 80,000 square feet each. The 10 Bryant Park edition will boast a luxurious, co-ed 'wet' suite with steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs and cold plunges; a workout floor with best-in-class cardio and resistance-training equipment; a recovery space with massage chairs and body-compression technology; and a half-dozen boutique-style studios for group fitness formats. 4 A rendering of the Life Time athletic club location at 10 Bryant Park, which is expected to open in early 2027. LIFE TIME Advertisement Eli Elefant, CEO of 10 Bryant Park landlord Property & Building Corp., said, 'We had the privilege or repositioning the building in a post-Covid world. It gave us the ability to reimagine what a commercial building can look like in a challenging environment.' Elefant said, 'When we lost our big bank tenant, HSBC, we got all their antiquated space back. Our thought was to lean heavily into the tech sphere and market the former bank space to big users and we were ultimately successful.' With the Amazon deal, the 30-story tower's office floors are 100% leased. What he called a 'blank slate' after HSBC decided to move to The Spiral in Hudson Yards also suggested the need to deliver what Amazon and many other 21st Century tenants want: a spectacular 'wellness' amenity. 'We didn't just want to build a gym,' Elefant chuckled. 4 Eli Elefant, center, the CEO of 10 Bryant Park owner Property & Building Corp., and Life Time chief property development officer Parham Javaheri, right, bonded over their vision during a pickleball game. LIFE TIME Advertisement Introduced by brokers, he and Javaheri first met on Oct. 17, 2023. 'We talked about a lifestyle-physical concept,' Elefant said. 'I said, 'Why don't we meet for a workout?'' Javaheri recalled, 'We played pickleball at 1 Penn and at Sky on West 42nd Street. Eli told us what his vision was for a strong amenity. We formed a good friendship.' 4 A rendering of the interior of the announced Life Time athletic club at 10 Bryant Park. LIFE TIME The competition 'was a great way for him to humiliate me,' Elefant laughed. 'But I'm a firm believed in personal synergies' in a changed real estate market that needs to be 'less sharp-elbows than collaborative, although I'm not sure everyone got the message.' Atlantic Retail's Joe Mastromonaco represented Life Time and JLL's Patrick Smith acted for the ownership. Property & Building's parent company owns 14 million square feet of buildings in Israel, but 10 Bryant Park is the only one in New York it wholly owns although it has discreet investments at others.

You Need Comfy Shoes If You're Going On A Trip, So Here Are 28 Pairs

A handmade pair of closed-toe huarache platform sandals if you need some extra height (those flowy pants you just bought are a little on the long side), but also refuse to commit to walking around in heels all day. These beauts are the perfect compromise! A pair of Birkenstocks, aka the go-to summer vacation sandal. Reviewers rave about their signature cork footbed and for good reason — it molds to the foot for unrivaled comfort and support. A pair of Dr. Scholl's kicks so you can ditch the laces while still enjoying the benefits of supportive and comfy sneakers. Did I mention these have memory foam cushioning? Because they do, and you will love it. A classic pair of ballet flats since these darling little shoes fold up nice and compact for easy packing — and good thing, too, because you've only got about an inch of space left in your suitcase! Or, these memory foam-cushioned knit flats that are just as convenient (and comfy!) but offer a more elevated look with their textured design. Promising reviews: "These shoes are so comfortable. I used them on a trip where I did a lot of walking, and there was no need to break them in, and I had no blisters. I have not had to clean them yet, so don't know how they will wash up." —Charlotte"I wore these, new, on a recent trip and couldn't have been more pleased with the fit and comfort. Added bonus, you can toss them in the wash and they come out great!" —Amazon CustomerGet them from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide sizes, and in five colors). A gorgeous leather slide because it'll take you about .0002 seconds to throw them on and complete the day's ~lewk.~ There's not a second to be wasted when you're on vacation, right?! A cute pair of Toms block heels to wear at brunch, art galleries, high tea, happy hour, you name it! You deserve to ~treat yoself~ on vacation and these are shoes you'll want for all those fun, splurge-y activities. A chunky pair of Fila platform sneakers that just might be the ultimate travel hack. A comfy, supportive sneaker that also gives you a boost so you can see above the crowd and actually watch the busker's performance? Genius! A flexible pair of water shoes if your itinerary's got some water-based activities. Don't let soggy feet ruin the day's fun. Wear these, and thank me later. A cute and casual Sperry sneaker you can wear with just about anything and everything in your suitcase. Plus, they come with a removable footbed for added arch support. A pair of braided chunky heels to slip on whenever you need a chic little going-out shoe, like when you're checking out that cool speakeasy you saw on TikTok. According to reviewers, these are actually comfy enough to wear all night long, too! Keen rose sandals that I just adore and almost always bring on my warm-weather trips. They look so darn cute, are unbelievably comfy, and best of all, can handle miles and miles of walking (even if I decide to stroll through the waves a bit). I've brought these on hiking/camping trips, but also on city vacations, too. I love knowing I can tackle any sort of terrain I might stumble upon in my adventures, even though they don't really look like your typical "hiking sandals."Promising review: "I bought these sandals about a month before I went on vacation. I walked around in them all day in very hot temperatures (38–40 degrees Celsius) with my feet sweating and swelling, and did not get any blisters or hot spots. I thought for sure they would start to smell, but they didn't! I read reviews of others not liking the ankle strap not being adjustable, but I did not have any issues. I definitely would not go hiking in these sandals, but they are great for everyday casual wear and are super cute. I love the wide-toe box for my problem feet. I will definitely be buying more pairs in different colors. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever bought! I did have some rubbing on my big toe from the toe box material, but I got used to it quickly with no issues." —Ldc8Get them from Keen for $120 (available in sizes 5–12 and six colors — not all styles available in all sizes). A lightweight mesh sneaker if you (or your S.O.) want to look ~sharp~ without having to sweat away in stiff, uncomfy dress shoes. In the words of one reviewer, they're "absurdly comfortably" while offering a business-casual kinda vibe. My boyfriend has these in black, and the first thing he commented on was how light and breathable they are. He's definitely a comfort first, style second kind of person, but he doesn't have to compromise anymore, thanks to these. They're pretty much his new go-to shoe when we're heading downtown or out on a date (and he always looks so good in them). Promising review: "I love them, I originally bought a pair for a vacation where I needed something business casual and comfortable for walking… I wore them on my first day back to the office (left my $750 pair of Ferragamo's at the office). I intended to throw on the expensive pair… I got more compliments on these than I have for a high-end shoe + they're way more comfortable!" —Bobby DGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in men's sizes 6.5–14 and 13 colors) A beautiful pair of Greek gladiator-inspired sandals so you can feel like a real Mediterranean local as you navigate the streets and local seaside markets. Even if you're not headed to Greece, you'll still feel like a goddess wearing these. A pair of Swedish wooden clogs, just in case you're worried you lack the... uhhh... coordination for navigating cobblestone and brick streets in heels. Have no fear — these shoes are extra sturdy and even have a heel strap for added reinforcement. No wobbling here! A pair of Crocs sandals featuring the same comfort and convenience the brand is known for, only a more aesthetic design. Whether you're a diehard Crocs lover or new to the cult, you're gonna want these cuties in your collection. A pair of quilted sneakers featuring memory foam insoles beneath that stylish exterior, because you deserve to look and feel like a million bucks when you're out and about globe-trotting. Psst! Some reviewers say these shoes run big, and recommend ordering a size down. Promising review: "I bought these shoes for my trip to the UK in September. They proved to be some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. We toured English stately homes and gardens and walked everywhere we went, and these shoes gave me great support and comfort. I wore them on the plane and in the airports, and they stood the test. Love these shoes, and I have put them aside to wear for my next UK trip!" —Louisa CornellGet them from Amazon for $31.19+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and eight colors — not all colors available in all sizes). A pair of cushioned slides for an easy-on, breathable shoe that's pretty darn supportive. Ideal for TSA, but more importantly, for heading to the pool (or beach) and back a bajillion times. Promising review: "These shoes are amazing. I have plantar fasciitis, and by the end of the day, my feet are in a lot of pain. I can now stand and walk with no pain wearing these shoes. They appear to be cheap, but whatever material these are made of is more comfortable than Crocs! I bought the grey and loved them, so I bought another pair in brown. I'm going to take them with me on vacation because I know I can walk long distances with them. My feet do not sweat in them either!" —GGet them from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes 5.5–17W, 4–16M, and 30 colors). A waterproof sneaker so you can tackle all that sightseeing, regardless of the weather forecast. These will keep your feet dry, and unlike typical rain boots, are actually comfy enough for endless walking! Promising review: "Probably the best item I've ever ordered from Amazon. I wanted to look stylish, and rain boots would have looked silly. Found these all rubber sneaker/rain shoes, and man! I'm glad I got these. Wore them to Europe during quite a bit of rain. Walked a lot and they were surprisingly very comfortable, too." —Its meGet them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, in four colors in the high-top style, and in five other styles). Braided Plaka sandals that combine functionality with a breezy boho aesthetic, aka the perfect combo for oceanside strolls. The straps fit snugly around the foot without rubbing or pinching while the rubber soles are durable enough for sand, beach rocks, and other rough terrain. The famous Allbirds runner — uber soft and supportive everyday sneakers made from lightweight and breathable eucalyptus fibers, which means they're 100% up to the task of keeping you cool and comfy as you explore the world. Promising review: "Love these shoes!! So comfortable and look great. Wore them as all-day shoes at Disneyland, no blisters or other issues. I am already looking at other pairs to buy. Also great for traveling, extremely lightweight." —Michaela them from Allbirds for $98 (available in sizes 5–11W, 8–14M, and 21 colors). Elastic-strap sandals since the twisted strap is not only super cute but also super stretchy, which means the sandal conforms perfectly to your foot for a secure, comfy fit. A pair of Cole Haan leather sneakers because they're a sleek, lightweight shoe that can be dressed up or down. Pretty much a no-brainer for vacation. Promising review: "This is the third pair I have bought for my husband (navy, tan, and black). We travel a lot and he always takes a pair for daily wear and loads of walking. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had, and frankly, they are so great looking, you can wear them anywhere. In Europe, many men wear shoes of this style with their suits, and they look so sharp. These are so versatile, go with anything, and have a super-high comfort level. Catch them when they are on special!" —vieuxcarreGet them from Amazon for $74.20+ (available in men's sizes 7–13, two widths, and in 18 styles). A super cute strappy sandal for something that's stylish *and* supportive — both non negotiable for your big summer trip. These have a thick, cushioned footbed that's similar to Birks, only much cheaper. A pair of platform, lace-up Oxfords so you can trick all the locals into thinking you're actually overseas for an important academic conference... are you a Rhodes scholar or genius mathematician? They'll never know! A pair of combat boots if your personal style is best described as pop-punk. These are just the edgy-chic traveling companion you've been waiting for. Promising review: "I am in love with these boots! First, they are great-looking. I've worn them 10 times in the past two and a half weeks and received compliments five times. They look amazing with leggings, maxi dresses, and short skirts. The ankle doesn't gap and is adjustable with laces, but they actually open by way of a zipper on the inside ankle. So, once you get them fitted to your arch and ankle, putting them on and taking them off is easy. I know as I had to remove them for TSA at two airports. I've worn them in rain, slushy snow, sub-freezing temps, and 70-degree weather. So far, with a wipe of a cloth, they still look brand new. No scuffs and no cracks. Yesterday, I took them off after 31 hours of travel, involving a number of airports and lots of walking, and they still felt good." —AliceGet them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and in four colors). Or Dr. Marten gladiator sandals so you can rock those spunky pop-punk vibes without your feet overheating. These are definitely the summertime equivalent of your fave combat boots, offering a similar aesthetic in a more breathable and lighter open-foot design. A classic pair of slip-on sneaks made from a breathable and stretchy canvas material, which means your feet will sweat less and probably won't rub too much either... the two things that tend to cause blisters.

The Best Airplane Outfits for Summer Travel—15 Stylish, Lightweight Picks That Start at $15

Let's all take a moment to appreciate that we've made it past the era of bulky winter layers on airplanes—at least for the next few months. Dressing for a summer flight is infinitely easier. Think loose, flowy silhouettes, breathable fabrics, and a light sweater you can fold into the corner of your tote when the cabin gets chilly. No coats. No fleece-lined panic sweats mid-flight. Amazon has some of the season's comfiest airplane outfits, from breezy maxi dresses and matching sets to linen pants, oversized button-downs, and more. We scrolled through pages of options to find the best—and here's what summer pieces we're most excited to wear to the airport and beyond. No need to worry about overheating in these palazzo pants—reviewers say the 70-percent cotton blend keeps them breathable, even on long travel days. The wide-leg silhouette tapers above the ankle with a tulip hem for an extra-stylish touch. 'These pants should be a staple in everyone's comfort wardrobe,' one shopper wrote, calling them 'perfect for travel that still allows you to be stylish.' Available in 14 colors and currently up to 25 percent off. The best travel outfit delivers pajama-level comfort—without looking like actual pajamas. This slouchy short-sleeve tee and matching wide-leg pants set nails it. Amazon shoppers are 'obsessed' with the relaxed fit, 'silky-soft' fabric, and 'impeccable' quality.
