Because no one likes to spend precious vacation time ironing, wrinkle-resistant clothing is a travel essential. These easy, low-maintenance pieces are especially ideal if you tend to overpack (and end up with creased clothes) or simply don't want to deal with a travel steamer on the road. Since wrinkle-free fabrics are less prone to creasing, they're also perfect for all-day wear, whether you're stuck in an airplane seat for hours or wandering around a new city from morning to night.

As a fashion writer who loves experimenting with style, I've consistently returned to Anthropologie's aesthetic time and time again. The brand's mix of eclectic details, boho silhouettes, and richly textured fabrics creates the kind of postcard-worthy wardrobe I've always dreamed of as a traveler. But those whimsical pieces often come with a splurgy price tag that would stretch my travel budget more than I'd like.

As an NYC fashion writer, I treat late-night Zara scrolling like a sport-especially when I'm planning a winter trip. I found pieces that look designer, travel beautifully, and somehow all stay under $100, with prices starting at just $15. It's the rare moment when both your suitcase and your wallet win, and every piece somehow manages to look polished, cozy, and travel-ready all at once.

If you've spent any amount of time online, chances are you've been served a Quince ad - maybe more than once. Maybe you read that piece that dubbed Quince "a one-stop dupe shop for a new generation of discerning, albeit weary, consumers, mostly Millennials who have been burned too many times by sketchy Amazon sellers and fast-fashion impulse buys." Or maybe you, like me, were lured by the promise of a $50 cashmere sweater that looked eerily similar to the Everlane one you'd been eyeing - the one just outside your budget. And if you happen to be that Millennial, the one who's been burned a few too many times, you probably bit. I did.

I used to be fiercely loyal to my old sweats-you know, the faded pair that's survived countless red-eyes and coffee spills. But lately, my travel uniform has gotten a serious upgrade thanks to Amazon's endless lineup of matching lounge sets. These aren't your average "stay home and do laundry" sweats; they're sleek, coordinated, and comfy enough to make a middle seat feel like business class (well, almost).

Oversized knits, slouchy trousers, and flowy tops are having a moment, and not just on the couch. Comfort is - now more than ever - a style move in itself, and these under-$35 outfits prove it. Think: easy sets, roomy dresses, and tops that actually make you want to get dressed. Scroll ahead for pieces that prioritize comfort and fit for everyone without breaking your budget.

Who says comfort has to come at the expense of style or your wallet? These under-$30 outfits are here to prove that cozy can be cute, chic, and totally affordable. From breathable sweaters that feel like a warm hug to buttery soft leggings you'll never want to take off, each piece is designed to make you feel your best, no matter where you're off to.

Amazon reviewers have discovered the ultimate oversized sweater to wear on flights and around toasty fires on upcoming chilly weather trips. It's slouchy. It's as soft as butter. And it's on sale for $28 right now, so you might be enticed to add it to your fall travel wardrobe, too. The cozy Anrabess knit has 7,600-plus ratings and more than 5,000 five stars. The top is made to drape like your favorite three-sizes-too-big sweater picked from the men's section. It has a chunky neckline and hem, side slits, exaggerated drop shoulders, and roomy batwing sleeves.

If the words bougie and budget describe your fashion and spending styles, this list of posh outfits is for you. Ahead, you'll find everything from chic loungewear sets and flowy skirts to tailored tops and a bunch of trendy wardrobe essentials - all with prices that won't squeeze your bank account. And because you'll need luxe accessories to match, you'll find some real gold pieces here, too. Scroll on for Add-to-Cart-worthy finds that will have you looking chic by the weekend.

No matter how fit you are or how full you are of self-love, there is something about going swimsuit shopping that's a real downer. It's just zero-percent fun for most people - which is too bad, because everyone deserves to look and feel great in their swimsuit. The Scary Mommy editors are here to help - we have collectively worn a lot of swimwear in our days (and over the past summer), and we're ready to spill all of our very favorites.

Cooler days are nearly upon us, so before the temperatures officially drop, stock your wardrobe with pieces equipped to keep you cozy during all your fall adventures. Luckily, this year's jacket trends are plentiful (and perfectly packable), so you'll have no trouble finding your dream style to accompany you throughout your seasonal travels.

Switching up your look doesn't have to drain your wallet. The trick is snagging affordable pieces that stand out: a ruffled hem here, a playful handbag there, or even a pair of statement shoes. These versatile finds effortlessly mix with everyday staples, and they'll carry you seamlessly from casual daytime hangs to a reservation-only type of night out. Best of all? These can all be found on Amazon, with some styles even ringing up at under $10.

Packing for every fall travel scenario is its own kind of puzzle: chilly mornings, warm afternoons, and the inevitable red-eye flight where you just want to be cozy but still look pulled together. The trick is finding comfy clothes that layer well, transition effortlessly, and work just as easily for apple-picking day trips as they do for leaf-peeping weekends or dinner after a flight.

Looking snatched as hell can be as simple as adding some cool new products to your lineup - but they don't have to be expensive. The list below is packed with items that will leave you looking and feeling your best, from makeup you'll wonder how you lived without to versatile clothing pieces you can style a million different ways. There's also sexy jewelry, comfy shapewear, and bath essentials that all add up to you looking maximally snatched.

Crochet clothing is one of summer's biggest trends, with crochet dresses, tops, and matching sets spotted at every vacation spot. The Prettygarden Crochet Maxi Dress is a great option, and it "looks high-end" for just $45. It comes with a removable, midi-length slip to keep you covered, although it can also be thrown sans slip over a bikini for a trendy beach look. I'm also loving the Saodimallsu Long-sleeve Cover-up and Imily Bela Matching Set from Amazon, which are just as elevated and highly rated.

"The material is incredibly soft and feels great against the skin, making them perfect for all-day wear," said a reviewer.
