The Best Wrinkle-Free Travel Clothes

Ever attempted to “iron” pants with a hair straightener or a steamy shower? Been there. Or spent precious travel time using the hotel ironing equipment when you could be out exploring? Been there, too. There's a better way: choosing items that are specifically designed to resist wrinkles, made from fabric that holds its shape even after its been subject to hours squirming in an airplane seat or days spent balled up in a carry-on. Ahead, we spotlight wrinkle-resistant garments that won’t crumple under pressure. No steamers, irons, or packing wizardry necessary.

Best Wrinkle-Free Dress

Synthetic or semi-synthetic fabrics like Tencel, polyester, and Lycra tend to hold their shape better than natural fibers like cotton and linen. This simple dress (with hidden pockets!) from carbon-neutral brand Ministry of Supply is made from 100% Japanese polyester that’s been specially developed for extra dress. The result—an eco-friendly dress that won’t crinkle at the drop of a hat (or even after a full, active work day, according to one reviewer).

Best Wrinkle-Free Women’s Pants

Everlane The Italian GoWeave Easy Pant.

The Italian GoWeave Easy Pant by Everlane

Remember how natural fabrics tend to be more susceptible to wrinkles? Well, these pull-on Everlane pants are an exception. The fabric is spun with a special wrinkle-resistant Italian wool, so they naturally ward off creases and seamlessly transition from day to night.

Best Wrinkle-Free Blouse

Dillon Classic-Fit Shirt.

Dillon Classic-Fit Shirt by Banana Republic

As much as we love the look and feel of silk, the fabric’s proneness to wrinkling makes it a high-maintenance travel companion. Fortunately, Banana Republic’s Dillon Shirt is an excellent dupe. It’s made out of 100% polyester that imitates silk, but minus the wrinkles and tendency to trap sweat. Bonus: unlike its natural doppelganger, this material is happy to be washed, dried, and ironed.
