The year of travel isn't over just because summer is winding down. In fact, fall is one of the best times for adventuring: temps are cooler, crowds are smaller, and you can get a taste of off-peak touristing.

For those looking to sneak in fall travel, we've found some must-pack essentials from Athleta. Each piece is durable yet cozy and can take you from the airport to sightseeing without missing a beat. Most importantly, each style can be easily packed and layered to keep your travel luggage light and manageable. Shop the mix-and-match layers this way.
