The Travel Poncho
Thousands of years ago ponchos were created for life on the move, centuries later, the silhouette has circled the globe, reimagined by designers everywhere from New York to Tibet, all with the same enduring design that’s the easiest thing to throw over your shoulder at 30,000 feet.

The French Chore Coat
Once the uniform of French laborers, the bleu de travail—or chore coat—is one of our favorite travel workhorses. Today’s versions are still utilitarian but have a cool, effortless edge: perfect for layering, easy to dress up or down, and light enough to roll into a bag.

Double-Duty Cardigans
