Travel Style

When it comes to travel attire, don't just wing it. Preparation is key to arriving at your destination feeling good and looking sharp. It may be summer, but don't wear shorts on a plane. The seats can be itchy and those cabins are notoriously chilled. Jeans can feel restricting, so go with a pair of soft, tailored chinos like this new style from Dockers. Pack your canvas kicks and wear some handsome leather shoes that can take a beating but still be worn to dinner. Opt for lightweight wool socks, which regulate temperature and wick away moisture better than standard cotton. And no matter where you're headed, bring a simple raincoat. This one from Lands' End folds up into its own pouch—easy to pack and it also makes for an impromptu pillow.
