10 Amazon Travel Clothes I’ve Bought Again and Again

If you’ve ever been burned by an online purchase, you likely understand just how tricky — and risky — shopping on the web can be. Even if you know your measurements and preferences down to a T, online clothing shopping can feel like a total gamble, considering the simple fact that you can’t try it on before you buy it. That uncertainty can feel more compounded when shopping on Amazon, since it hosts hundreds of thousands of lesser-known brands. Thankfully, detailed shopping reviews can help fill the gap, and as a commerce editor who puts their Prime membership to use on a daily basis, I can confidently say that I’ve found many Amazon clothing essentials worth buying again and again. 

Ahead, I dive into the 10 athleisure tops, travel dresses, comfortable bottoms, and two-piece sets that I have personally purchased several times over for their quality, durability, fit, and wide variety of color options. Rest assured that these travel clothes must-haves are tried-and-true, recommended by yours truly as well as hundreds of other Amazon shoppers. From budget-friendly designer clothing lookalikes to original Amazon fashion brands that deliver on function and style, keep reading for my most-recommended Amazon basics, starting at $15. 

Popilush Shapewear Maxi Dress 

If this dress looks familiar to you, it’s likely because of TikTok. Hundreds of reviewers have taken to the app recently in order to share their obsession with Popilush’s shapewear dresses, and I’m happy to report that the hype is well-deserved. I love this long-sleeved option for cooler months and the romper is great for outdoor activities, but this bodycon spaghetti strap dress is by far my favorite of the bunch. 

Available in 11 colors and sizes up to 4XL, it features a built-in bra and inner shapewear that perfectly smooths my hips, thighs, and tummy, highlighting my best features in the process. The shoulder straps are adjustable and shapewear conveniently contains an opening at the bottom for bathroom trips. The simple design is easy to dress up or down, and is one of the primary reasons as to why I wear it out so often. 

Dragon Fit High-waist Pocket Leggings 

I recommend products to my friends and family every day, but no recommendation has received so much positive feedback as these $20 pocket leggings from Dragon Fit. Available in 30 different colors and carried in sizes up to a 3XL, I consider these leggings to be my ultimate Amazon holy grail find. They have a thick, tummy-smoothing waistband, ultra-deep side pockets big enough for a smartphone, and a hidden inner pocket at the back perfect for stashing a pair of keys. Stretchy, buttery-soft, and true-to-size, these leggings get more wear than some of my higher-end ones — and other reviewers seem to agree. 

Crz Yoga Women’s Hiking Shorts

Biker shorts and leggings are perfectly fine for hot hikes, but when I want to lean into the campfire-chic aesthetic, I opt for these hiking shorts from Crz Yoga. I already love this brand for their activewear (specifically, this $26 sports tank top), and these utility shorts are built with the same high-quality fabric and thoughtful details of their other wardrobe offerings. Featuring a removable belt, an elastic waistband, deep zippered pockets, and a 3-inch inseam, these shorts — which are available in 12 different colors — are stretchy, breathable, sweat-wicking, and rip-resistant, meaning they’ll hold up well when snagged on sharp branches and thorns. Other shoppers can attest to how stellar these shorts are, with one reviewer reporting that they were the perfect shorts for hiking in Sedona.  

Fitory Women’s Slide Sandals

My leather corkbed Birkenstocks have lasted me such a long time, but considering their $130 price tag, it may be a while longer before I can justify buying another pair. These slides from Fitory, on the other hand, have the same look for a fraction of the cost. I find myself reaching for them just as often as my Birkenstocks — they feel almost identical in fit and quality thanks to their corkbed inner sole, 100 percent leather adjustable straps, and a grippy outsole. My brown pair has looked great with sundresses and shorts alike, and at just $25, I’m tempted to snag them in one of the other four shades, too.

Gihuo Long-sleeved Workout Jacket 

I love Lululemon — my wallet, on the other hand, isn’t quite as big of a fan. So when I found this $22 lookalike version of its viral $118 Define Cropped Jacket, I was over the moon. This long-sleeved workout jacket from Gihou has several features that mirror the Lululemon option, including a full-front zipper, thumb holes, and a snug, body-contouring silhouette. This athletic jacket has accompanied me on multiple flights and workouts, and while I already own three different colors, it’s a versatile piece that I know I’ll be re-purchasing in the near future. 

Ecoparty Sports Bra Tank Top

On days where I just can’t bring myself to wear a bra, I usually end up reaching for this athletic tank top from Ecoparty. It comes with an elastic built-in bra with removable pads for modesty and is made with a soft and breathable polyamide/elastane blend that’s figure-hugging yet stretchy. I’ve thrown each tank I own into my washing machine multiple times, and each one has maintained their shape and feel. Available in eight colors and priced at $15, it’s a travel staple I’ve yet to be let down by.

Hue Mini Crew Socks 

I am incredibly picky when it comes to socks, but I’ve purchased these mini crew socks from Hue multiple times. The length is perfect: not quite as tall as a full crew sock, but certainly taller than an ankle length. Stretchy, soft, and breathable, they’re my go-to socks for going through TSA, hitting the gym, and taking long walks. Available in 11 different color combinations and a convenient six pack, these are the only socks I wear day in and day out. 

Merokeety Long-sleeved Knit Cardigan 

I’ve purchased this lightweight long-sleeved cardigan from Merokeety in three of the 25 available shades at this point — and between you and I, I might just buy it in a few more colors before fall hits since it’s up to 25 percent off with an on-site coupon. It’s perfectly cozy without being too heavy, and the slight chunkiness of the knitted fabric adds texture to simple outfits. I also love the super deep pockets in the front, the hooded top, and the ribbed hem detail. It layers well with just about every outfit I pair it with, and has become a transitional must-have in my collection.

Carpetcom Oversized T-Shirt

When I’m wearing bike shorts or workout leggings and want to balance my outfit with something looser, I always end up reaching for this oversized T-shirt from Carpetcom. It’s perfectly baggy, featuring drop shoulder sleeves and a banded crewneck. Made with a soft, stretchy cotton blend, this wardrobe essential comes in 21 colors. Other shoppers appreciate the sizing, too, with one reviewer sharing that it fits exactly like they were hoping it would and that it’s also true to size. 

PrettyGarden Long-sleeved Sweatsuit

Sweatsuits, much like running shoes, can be deceivingly pricy. Depending on the brand, you can expect to pay as much as $200 for one set; thankfully, Amazon has a whole host of budget-friendly alternatives, including this pullover and sweatpants combo from PrettyGarden. Since the top and bottom can be worn as separates, this duo has proven time and time again to be a versatile set in my wardrobe. I love the long-sleeved pullover for its huge front pocket and preppy half zip, while the sweatpants tout a drawstring waistband, side pockets, and thick ankle cuffs. Perfectly slouchy, lightweight, and soft, this set gets extra points for the 20 different color options.
