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.  

The perfectly oversized sweater to wear on its own or with the matching joggers. 

These put my basic black leggings to shame. 

Add the matching bralette, because why not? 

This sweatshirt looks just as cool with jeans as it does the matching pants. 

Name a more perfect travel pant, I’ll wait.  

Loungewear has never looked so chic. 

You can never go wrong with a classic Adidas tracksuit. 

And the pants to match. 

How cool is this shape? 

This comes in 3 colors, just saying. 

How pretty is this color? 

Sweatpants, but make them fashion. 

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.

They create a long, lengthening line that streamlines your look.

A structured bag does just what its name implies for your overall vibe.

I’ve Saved 73 Pictures of Cute Fall Outfits, and These Are by Far the Best

Let’s just say that since Instagram started allowing users to save posts, the screenshots folder of my phone hasn’t seen as much action. My collection pages, however? Those have become a key place for me to save whatever I’m seeing for the future, and right now my eyes are set on layered fall outfits.

Blame it on an unseasonably warm October in New York thus far, but all I can think about are sweaters, jackets, scarves, and all the other pieces of my closet that have barely seen the light of day so far. Thankfully, the time I’ve saved in putting together outfits for true fall temperature I’ve spent curating ideas of which looks to try ASAP that bring comfort, warmth, and creativity. Below are my 13 favorite current examples that utilize of-the-moment trends, classic autumnal fabrics and colors, and the clever layering tricks anyone can master.

The scarf and sunnies might say summer but not when paired with a cozy, lined windbreaker.
Light-as-air maxi dresses get the fall treatment with the addition of a corduroy jacket.
Breathe new life into your easy shirtdresses by pairing them with skinny jeans beneath. It’s also much warmer than just wearing it with tights.
The corduroys, the denim blazer, and the vintage tee are individually amazing, but so much better when worn together.
It’s fall so velvet pants can happy make a return to our wardrobes now.
Skinny jeans and a fuzzy oversize sweater will never not make our list.
A classic autumnal plaid feels fresh with a clashing color combination among your socks, blazer, and button-down top.
What this outfit tells us is that leopard is a neutral this fall and therefore a complement to your statement trenches.
The pairing of midi skirt, sweater, and tall boots keeps you covered head to toe (in clashing prints and colors, no less) but in a way that doesn’t feel bulky.
If you can still swing sandals and your favorite silk dresses, this oversize blazer is the ideal, unexpected topper.
We’re just eager for the days when fuzzy bomber jackets make regular appearances.
Fall calls for hiking boots. And it’s even better when paired with a chic, neutral-colored slip skirt–and-polo combination.
Give us all the (nearly) winter whites. Now.
Also available in more sizes.

‘Tis the season—not for watching Halloween movies, but for dressing like you’re in one.

The Outfit Combo I Swear By for All-Day Errands in NYC

When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank or acting in her capacity as the official Armi Captain at luxury rental and styling platform Armarium, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.

As for most adults, my weekends are typically packed with all the errands I didn’t quite get to during the week, like picking up my dry cleaning and taking pieces to the tailor—the list goes on. When it comes to dressing for these #adulting days, I have a signature outfit combination I swear by. Since I don’t want to look like a slob, I go for a practical yet polished uniform so that I can stylishly accomplish my tasks. I’ve found that I can’t go wrong with solid jeans (if you read my weekly column, then you know I swear by these ones from Madewell), a simple T-shirt layered under a slightly oversize blazer, polished accessories, and, of course, comfortable ballet flats. Functional and foolproof, it lends just enough personal style to my practical look. Shop the key pieces you need to add my reliable NYC outfit combination to your rotation below.

ATM is one of my go-to brands for wardrobe basics like white tees. 
A solid price for a designer tee. 
You can never have too many white tees, in my opinion.
