12 Comfy Matching Sets to Upgrade Your Travel Style — All Under $50 in Amazon’s Memorial Day Sale

Despite how often I fly and how much thought I put into my wardrobe, I’ve never been much of an “airport style” person. The night before a flight, I typically polish off my packing, then unceremoniously lay out a pair of leggings and a T-shirt/sweatshirt combo for the journey itself. But one too many times I’ve touched down in a fashion-forward city and wished I didn’t have to make the long trek to my Airbnb looking like I’d just hit the gym. So now, instead of stashing all of my great outfits in my luggage, I leave one out the night before: a two- or three-piece matching or coordinating travel outfit that exudes comfort and style en route.

It’s funny how a curated travel outfit can instantly elevate your aesthetic to jet-setter status — and make you strut to your gate feeling like a VIP, too. The secret here is spending very little to only look expensive but stay within budget. Amazon has a slew of summer travel sets on sale for Memorial Day weekend, and the ones I found are each on sale for $50 or less. These include lightweight tops and slacks that scream “high-end resort,” slouchy summer sets with shorts, and even a three-piece tank-and-pants combo with a matching cardigan that’s perfect for chilly planes and trains.

Grab your leather passport holder and your monogrammed luggage tags, because these summer travel sets — all wrinkle-resistant knits — are about to help give your airport style a major upgrade.

Anrabess Knit Sweater Pullover Top & Pants Lounge Set

Amazon’s in-house brands routinely knock it out of the park, and this stunning Anrabess set is a prime example. This sleeveless knit sweater complements the lightweight tapered sweatpants instead of matching perfectly. Softness is key here, and this set has it in spades. I’ll take all the pockets I can get, and luckily this outfit has three: a small breast pocket along with side pockets in the pants. One reviewer wrote, “I love every detail of this outfit from its trendy look to its cozy matching pieces. It’s charming, elegant, and comfortable, making it a perfect combination of style and practicality.”

Wiholl Women’s Summer 2-piece Outfit

This newly-dropped set at Amazon includes a lightweight, short-sleeve button-down and relaxed, elastic shorts that tie at the waist. It comes in eight vacation-ready patterns that look to be inspired by popular destinations like Hawaii and Greece with palm and underwater sea prints. It might be new, but travelers are already itching to take this set on their next trip, with one shopper writing, “This is a really cute outfit for summer! I am leaving on a cruise and this will definitely be a cruise staple, the material is soft — it seems like it packs well.” 

Caracilia 2-piece Summer Sweater Lounge Set

This set caught my eye as it’s essentially the shorts version of the Anrabess knit sweater set, and this Caricilia coordinating outfit even comes in many of the same colorways — but I’m partial to coffee/chocolate brown. One shopper said the set “gave [them] the perfect blend of dressy to casual. The cap sleeves with light weight sweater shorts looks great with white sneaker or a pair of black sandals.”

Bekofo Ribbed Knit Loungewear Set

I found a slew of matching loungewear sets that combine an oversized top with non-clingy biker shorts in cozy, pajama-like fabric, and now I’m obsessed. This Bekofo set happens to be on sale in a bunch of colors, including my favorite, chic black. Cozy up in this one on your next red-eye; you won’t regret it. “Oh my god. Buy now. Soooo sooo sooo comfy. Not one single complaint. Favorite thing I’ve bought this year,” wrote one shopper.

Lillusory Lounge Set

This matching camel-colored set is soft and slouchy with a few key features that keep it looking sharp instead of slovenly: a half-button detail up top and slightly cropped pants for a tailored appearance. If the commute was short enough and you’re feeling up to it, there’s really no need to even change: This set is a look unto itself.

Prettygarden 2-piece Short Sleeve Lounge Set

Introducing the most “expensive” $32 outfit you’ll ever wear: this Prettygarden two-piece set in all its retro glory. The split hemline is echoed on the sleeves, and it stands out especially in black and white, though this set comes in seven more chic colorways. Imagine this paired with your pillow slides — absolute perfection. One fan wrote, “Wow! I was not expecting the quality to be so good! Exceeded my expectations! What a cute outfit. I plan on wearing it to work and on plane trips.”

Kirundo Mock Neck Tank Crop Top & Wide Leg Pants Lounge Set

Give your en-route attire a pop of color with this tangerine-hued two-piece in one of my favorite top styles: the mock turtleneck tank, which flatters just about any figure. The cozy loungewear set comes in more subdued colors too, and all are made of a lightweight knit that’s structured, not slouchy, but still very easy to move around in. One shopper called the pants “ roomy and comfortable” and added, “The fabric has a good weight with a satiny feel.”

Wiholl 2-piece Summer Lounge Set 

This cap-sleeve crew-neck top and cuffed shorts Wiholl combo in a subtle brick red hue (there are plenty of colors to choose from) is effortless summer style encapsulated. Wear this one on a road trip or on the way to the cruise ship; no doubt it’ll be on rotation throughout the trip. It’s made mostly of cotton, so it’s breathable, too. “Material is perfect! Lightweight but well made. Super comfortable and perfect combo for a casual day out,” one reviewer wrote.

Ekouaer 3-piece Ribbed Knit Lounge Set

To be frank, this Ekouaer three-piece set is a stroke of genius for the airport. Most importantly, it’s super comfy and cozy, but it’s also a bold statement and comes in a slew of rich hues. The sweater is built-in and part of the look, so you can transition from one temperature to another without sweating it. One shopper wrote, “Can’t wait to wear this outfit on our cruise to Greece. The material flows so gracefully and I feel so much self confidence… My self esteem is through the roof!”

Automet Lounge Set

Want something that tows the line between travel outfit and pajamas? Hit the road in this ribbed two-piece drawstring shorts set. The V-neck and slightly longer shorts make it all-day wearable and keep it from looking too sleepwear-like. In camel, it’s casual luxury. “In love! The material is buttery soft! It’s perfect as loungewear/pajamas yet stylish and casual for on-the-go! I love versatile clothing and this set definitely fits the bill!” one customer wrote.

Anrabess Sweat Shorts Set

More of a sweats girl? I hear you. This sweatshirt/shorts set in classic light gray is the perfect way to make a summer travel outfit out of your activewear. Pair these with your favorite chunky sneakers or tennis shoes. Those large pockets are the cherry on top. “Material is so soft and comfortable,” confirmed a customer who called it the “perfect outfit to travel in.”

Btfbm 2-piece Matching Lounge Set

If baggy and flowy is your bag, this BTFBM set is waiting for you in glamorous emerald green and almost a dozen more colors. It’s lightweight and breathable yet has enough fabric to accommodate fluctuating temperatures. A pair of pockets make this outfit as functional as it is fun. “Super super cute! So comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down,” a reviewer wrote.
