Traveling for the holidays is overwhelming enough without also having to worry about what to wear for your trip. When it comes to picking out an outfit for a long flight, drive, or train ride, our philosophy is to prioritize comfort. As great as it looks, who wants to sit in a cramped airplane seat for hours in stiff vintage denim? Or spend an entire cross-state drive fidgeting in an itchy wool sweater, regardless of how seasonally appropriate it may be?
But just because you're dressing comfy doesn't mean you can't also look fashionable and festive. We came up with four simple outfit formulas that work for any travel situation. We even have you covered if you need to dash from the baggage claim right to Grandma's Christmas Eve dinner. Keep scrolling to find yourself one step closer to a hassle-free holiday.

A Matching Sweat Set
The absolute easiest way to look pulled together without sacrificing comfort on a long travel day is to wear a matching sweat set in the same solid color or print. For the holidays, we like the vivid red Gap Logo Cropped Hoodie ($60) and Vintage Soft Classic Joggers ($50). You just might get mistaken for one of Santa's helpers — but, you know, in a chic way. Wear the set with a pair of crisp white sneakers, like the Nike Air Max Excee shoes ($100).

Stretch Jeans and a Turtleneck
With how busy the holidays get, and the risk of hindrances like weather and traffic, sometimes you have to be prepared to transition straight from traveling into dinner or an event. In this case, we recommend opting for a pair of jeans with some stretch, such as the Re/Done Comfort Stretch 70s Bootcut Jeans ($275). The Lofty Rib Turtleneck ($445) from Vince is our choice of top for this outfit. When it comes to shoes, ankle boots with a low heel are a safe and versatile option. We love By Far's selection of stylish yet comfortable leather boots, including these ones ($520).

An Oversized Sweater and Leggings
Traveling by plane? The Gap Cozy Boucle Turtleneck Tunic Sweater ($80) will keep you warm in the cold cabin. Layer it over a pair of funky patterned leggings, like the Alo Yoga High-Waist Micro Houndstooth Leggings ($118). We suggest finishing off this look with the ultimate cozy footwear combo — chunky knit socks ($35) from Brother Vellies and the Ugg Classic Mini II Boots ($150). You can even wear a beanie to stay toasty from head to toe.

Flared Yoga Pants and a Puffer Coat
Flared yoga pants, the go-to sweatpants of the early 2000s, are back and better than ever. Our favorite version of the style, the Bleusalt Kaia Pants ($130), are so butter-soft that you won't want to take them off. Contrast the plain black pants with a cute and festive holiday-themed sweatshirt. We're currently crushing on the Wildfox Comet Loves Cupid World Tour Crop ($88). For your top layer, bundle up in a plush puffer coat, like the Heavyweight Cropped Oversized Puffer Jacket ($168) from Gap.
