Cami Morrone, Thanks For the Cozy Travel Outfit Idea
It’s a general law of the universe that you only run into people you know when you’re looking, well, less than your best. Seriously—what’s up with that? Murphy’s law I suppose. Through unfortunate personal experience, I’ve learned that this rings even truer in airports. You are all-but-guaranteed to run into someone you know while slumming it through LAX. For this reason, I’ve made it a rule to always look somewhat presentable while traveling.
Now for most of us, a comfortable yet polished travel look includes some combination of leggings, denim, or loose trousers, but today I bring you an even chicer option. While scrolling through Instagram last night, I came across the coziest outfit that also happens to be ultra-chic on Camila Morrone‘s account (Side note: Do we think Leo took this photo? He is the greatest Instagram boyfriend ever, after all). Her dreamy cashmere matching set would make an ideal travel outfit because it’s not only polished but also something you would gladly spend hours wearing. She appears to be wearing hers for a desert morning, but I have a feeling this is something she’ll be wearing on an airplane sometime soon as well.
Keep scrolling to see this gem of an outfit for yourself and shop the matching sets we would be happy to wear for days on end.
Now that your travel outfit is covered, how about some carry-on packing tips?

5 Items That Make Your Outfits Instantly Sleeker
I don’t want to call myself a lazy dresser per se, but I honestly think there’s no way around it, so let’s just say I’m a lazy dresser. Despite caring quite a bit about how I look and, mainly, what I wear, when it comes time to actually put together an outfit in the morning, I tend to find myself wanting to go with the easiest, fastest route. If I could always have my way, that would involve some form of jeans, a T-shirt, and whatever add-on essentials that season’s weather calls for every time.
However, seeing as I can’t wear the same thing every day and need to go about my life looking like I’ve tried to some extent, I’ve come up with some methods for keeping my inherent lethargy from coming through in my outfits—at least part of the time. So, what do I do? Well, among other things, I invest in and keep certain items around that I know add polish to even the laziest and simplest of looks. Think long coats, structured bags, and more. To see what they all are and, of course, shop them, simply continue on below.
