This Popular Loungewear Brand Is My New Favorite Travel Uniform, Hands-Down

Whoever said you have to sacrifice style for comfort has clearly never slipped into loungewear by Elwood Clothing. A favorite of celebs like Justin Bieber, the LA-based company has earned a cult following for affordable organic cotton basics that combine casual luxury with a vintage edge, all available in core colors with ultra-limited seasonal drops that sell out as soon as they’re released — which is why it’s my solemn duty to inform you that the summer seasonal core collection just dropped, because it’s legitimately all I want to wear when I’m traveling. (Fine, it’s all I want to wear when I’m not traveling, too.)

The Cool-Girl Travel Uniform

What makes these pieces so great for travel is the way they mix nap-worthy comfort with vintage silhouettes and tonal colorways that work hard whether you’re on a long-haul flight or a road trip. Each item is made from 100% organic cotton you can count on to be light and breathable yet sturdy enough to withstand a full day of travel, and the sweats are woven into a cloudlike French terry with a brushed finish that’s really ridiculously soft. The pieces are then garment-washed so they arrive already looking and feeling broken-in, with a cool-girl DGAF vibe that’ll be right at home whether you’re headed to the beach or an urban jungle.

Shop The Edit

Elwood offers essentials in a core collection of versatile neutrals that you can count on to go with everything. That said, a pop of color can go a long way towards lifting your spirits when there’s an inevitable travel delay, which is where the limited-edition summer collection steps in: Its vintage green, yellow, and oatmeal tones pack plenty of personality while remaining ultra-wearable once you’ve reached your destination. Everything can be mixed and matched across the collections without clashing, too, making it pretty much the ultimate travel capsule.

1. A Cropped Tank You’ll Even Wear To Yoga

The Malibu crop tank can survive your contortions in coach, so you know it’s more than up to the task of vinyasa. The raw hem has enough length to cover a sports bra, and it looks good with sweatpants or leggings.

2. A Hoodie That Was Literally Made For Summer

If you tend to run hot, Elwood’s newest design is for you: Cozy without feeling suffocating, this hoodie comes without the thermal lining of the OG models and has a double zipper for pinpointing ventilation.

3. The Ultimate Lounge Shorts, Hands-Down

Off-duty or off the beaten path, you can’t beat a good pair of sweat shorts when it comes to wear-all-day comfort. These have a wider leg ideal for sprawling, and you know that back pocket is the perfect size for your phone.

4. This ‘90s Baby Tee That Pairs Perfectly With Sweats

Elwood’s shrunken tee is an ideal base underneath baggier cuts, so you can add or remove pieces as temperatures inevitably fluctuate and still maintain your off-duty aesthetic. It also pairs perfectly with the brand’s sweatpants that offer plenty of room to stretch out.

5. This Oversize Hoodie You’ll Live In

The hoodies provide a gloriously generous cut that I find essential for repelling chatty seatmates, and the kanga pocket lets you keep your phone close at hand.

6. These Straight Leg Sweats In The Best Hues

This straight-cut sweatpant looks slightly more trouser-like and pairs well with any kind of shoe. Grab the matching hoodie for a trendy coord set, or try it with an oversized button-down.

Honestly, no matter where you’re headed, you’ll want to wear these pieces long after you’ve reached your destination. They’re exactly what you want for unwinding after a day at the beach or curled up in front of the campfire, and it goes without saying that you’ll basically live in them every weekend at home. Shop Elwood’s limited-edition collection now, because — just like the lazy days of summer — it’ll be gone before you know it.
