Some may argue that traveling by plane is an occasion to dress up, but for most of us at Traveler, comfort is the main priority when planning a transit day ensemble: You want something loose enough that you won't need to readjust (or worse, unbutton) a few hours into a flight or road trip, but put-together enough to feel that you've made a switch out of pajamas and into a true outfit. Luckily, there is no shortage of loungewear sets these days.

Read on for 35 of the best loungewear sets to add to your travel wardrobe , many of which are sitting in our editors' dresser drawers. From upscale sweatsuits to cozy cashmere knits, they'll keep you comfy whether you're sitting on a plane, train, or in the passenger seat, and will get a re-wear on lazy vacation days when the only item on your to-do list is lounging around the Airbnb .

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date. Additional reporting by Meaghan Kenny.

The Aerie LumberJane collection has been one of the brand's more popular releases. The collection features breathable, lightweight waffle fabric in shirts, shorts, and now polos. The LumberJane polo and short set are perfect for lazy vacation days spent shuffling around in your slippers . Each piece has raw seams along the sleeves, sides, and back that gives it a more lived-in look.

Buck Mason is at the forefront of elevated essentials. The Vintage Interloop set features an oversized crew that has a relaxed fit all around and thinly ribbed stiching on the cuffs to give more structure to the slouchy sleeves. The French terry sweatpants are slimming and so comfortable. Each set looks slightly different than the other, thanks to Buck Mason's Venice Wash technique that creates its cool, vintage look.

We're always raving about Girlfriend Collective, a size-inclusive, sustainably- and ethically-made brand. This set is made from half recycled, half organic cotton. They're available in your classic neutral colors, as well as this rich wine hue.

Kim Kardashian's shapewear and loungewear brand Skims never misses when it comes to cozy sets. The Cotton Fleece collection is a more sporty take on classic loungewear. The soft fleece shorts have an interior drawstring at the waist for a more customizable fit.

This chic pullover and sweat shorts both don the recognizable Alexander Wang logo. While the set is one of the trendiest pieces on our list, you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how soft the heavy brushed cotton terry is. Style the set with a small crossbody bag and pair of chunky dad sneakers for quick errands or walks around the city.

You can never go wrong with a simple high-waisted pant and tank top combo. The Anrabess sleeveless set is lightweight and thin, making it supremely packable in any weekender bag or carry-on. At just $30, it is one of the most affordable loungewear sets on our list.

Is there anything easier than throwing on a jumpsuit? Spanx AirEssentials jumpsuit is one of the brand's bestsellers—and it's just been restocked in more colors. We love the drawstring tie at the waist that gives the jumpsuit a more fitted and flattering look.

Traveler 's commerce producer, Paris Wilson , swears by Roots' loungewear. “I've been raving about Roots for years. It's hard to find a brand that doesn't skimp on quality,” she says. The Luxe Crew and Pintuck pant are made from a cotton and cashmere blend. While the material gives it a more chic look, the fit of the set is more relaxed and loose. This can easily be dressed up or down, and would look great with a sleek pair of white sneakers .

The loose fit of the Ramona sweatshirt compliments the brand's drawstring waist Jane shorts. The rouched terry fabric on the inside of each garment keeps you warm and cozy without overheating. As warmer days approach, the yellow dip-dye design is a must-have for your spring and summer wardrobe .

If you're looking for a more polished look, the Malibu set is for you. The set is made up of the Frank & Eileen Audrey Capelet and the Catherine Sweatpant . Each piece is made from 100 percent cotton triple fleece, making it incredibly soft. It's the perfect set for a long road trip or a chilly plane.

The Cool Stretch collection from Pact is made from breathable organic cotton. The soft, thin layers are a go-to summer fit when temperatures are high and you just want to chill inside. The tank top and shorts set comes in seven colorways and can be paired with Pact's Airplane cardigan or a cozy hoodie .

If you prefer something a little more roomy, the Oversized Tee and Harem Pant set from This is J is for you. It’s perfect for long-haul flights and road trips where comfort is at the top of your list, but you don’t want to step out in your pajamas. The soft, moisture-wicking fabric will keep you dry and comfortable whether you’re snuggled up on a train or plane.

This set is made for cold weather. The thick fabric will keep you warm and toasty whether you’re hanging inside with friends or out sightseeing. The top has a dropped shoulder sleeve that looks more oversized while the pants feature a wide-leg with a drawstring waist.. The set comes in 10 solid colors that are easy to pair with a slip-on sneaker or Ugg boots .

The soft ribbed knit of the Muse hoodie and sweatpant offers a lot of dimension to the duo. The set is lightweight enough that it can be worn over workout clothes without any bulkiness. The high-waisted joggers pair well with the cropped hoodie and offer a more chic silhouette.

You’ll be comfortable from head to toe with this ultra-soft pullover and pant set. The pants have a classic ‘70s wide-leg silhouette accompanied by an elastic waistband, while the pullover has a polo-inspired collar and a slightly cropped hem. An all-white set never goes out of style and will look great with a white sneaker .

The name tells you everything you need to know. The Coziest Cashmere Blend hoodie and jogger are ultra-soft. The fabric is warm yet breathable and the fact that it’s a blend gives you peace of mind that it won’t be ruined in the washing machine.

Traveler editors swear by Lunya's washable silk pajamas and cashmere Travel Set . The brand’s Silksweats complete its holy trinity of comfort. With a sherpa interior and thermoregulating abilities, you'll be comfortable without overheating in this set. Bonus: Both pieces are reversible so you can have two looks for one.

There's something to be said for a zip-up sweatshirt, even if they've largely been replaced by pullovers of late. For one, if your temperature flips from chilly to warm, you can regulate without bothering your seatmate while trying to take off your hoodie. We're a fan of the sweatpants, too: the deep pockets, cuffed ankles, and cashmere fabric are all plusses.

A new addition to OV's ultra-soft, lightweight, and durable CloudKnit line-up : this boxy T-shirt with a slightly cropped fit. It comes in charcoal, navy, mocha, fog white, and jasmine blue, all of which will match your go-to black leggings or joggers .

Awarded one of Oprah's Favorite Things in 2020, I was eager to put on Cozy Earth's ultra-soft joggers, and am happy to report they lived up to the hype. Made of a mix of premium viscose from bamboo, acrylic, and spandex, they're smooth and cool to the touch, and have a loose but not baggy fit. I've worn them a ton on WFH days, and would happily fly in them. Snag a matching pullover if you like the matching set look.

San Francisco–based Quince launched a maternity collection, which includes a nursing-friendly long sleeve and lounge joggers with an adjustable drawstring waistband. All of the collection's pieces are made with renewable materials like Tencel lyocell, a biodegradable fiber made from wood pulp; mulberry silk, a hypoallergenic and thermoregulating fabric; the company's SuperSoft fabric, a blend of recycled polyester and tencel; and sustainably- and humanely-sourced Mongolian cashmere.

Outdoor Voices’ All Day hoodie and sweatpants set really is made to wear from dusk to dawn. It aims to be the softest pair of sweats you will ever wear, and stacks up, with a CloudKnit fabric that feels as cozy as your most worn-in pair of pajamas. The sweatpants are high-rise and more fitted toward the bottom to give the most flattering look possible, too. The pieces can be bought individually and come in six different colors, from neutral charcoal to a rich Kalamata purple.

While former Traveler editor Jessica Puckett's favorite cashmere set has since sold out, Cuyana's Pima outfit is another great option for plane travel and lounging, particularly in warmer environments, as the material is soft, smooth, and breathable.

Former Traveler editor Corina Quinn turned us on to Vuori's DreamKnit Collection hoodie and jogger set. “The DreamKnit feels like a cloud—it's so soft and cozy, yet lightweight, so you don't get too hot or too cool in them,” she says. “On top of that, because there are a few different models of jogger pants and tops, my friends and I have all found a model that's flattering for us.” For a pair of sweats that make you feel like you’re wearing a real outfit without actually doing so, Vuori’s unbelievably soft, stretchy sets are an easy pick.

Friend + Folk is a size- and gender-inclusive brand that prioritizes a limited carbon footprint, and puts it into practice by way of free carbon neutral shipping, recyclable and plastic-free packaging, limited batch-production, and more. The Joon joggers are a favorite—the fit is roomy and comfortable yet still tailored, and the zippered pockets are ideal for stashing AirPods, lip balm, and other odds and ends without worrying they'll fall out as you dash through the airport. Pair them with the Perry pullover and you've got a new airport uniform.

Lululemon may be best known for its leggings and workout wear, but don't skip over the brand's loungewear. This set is made out of a smooth Softstreme material that is stretchy and feels smooth against your skin. It's a great loungewear set to wear if you run hot.

We love this Madewell number, made of a fleece-like Superbrushed terry fabric. Wide legs and a loose fit make it just the kind of thing we want to wear on long travel days, and the patch pockets are much appreciated. Since it does have tank top-style straps, bring a cardigan or other added layer for the plane.

Some loungewear is better suited for inside wear, like this cozy ribbed shorts set. Wear the pullover, with its bell sleeves and slit in the back, over leggings for long-haul flights. The stretchy shorts have a fairly short inseam, so they'll likely be more comfortable as a sleeping short or loungewear piece to change into when you arrive at your hotel or rental house.

This two-piece set might be the closest thing to sleepwear on this list, and yet is still cute enough to feel confident while wearing through the airport. It comes in a dozen colors, from basic heather gray to bold indigo blue, and pairs slouchy, relaxed fit pants with a scoop-neck button-up henley.

Sure, all sweatpants are designed to be comfortable, but the cotton, modal, and spandex fabric Knix uses takes things up a notch. The smooth, cooling, and slightly stretchy fabric feels fantastic against skin and looks a bit more put-together than typical sweatpant material.

Most loungewear tends to follow the same cut, so we appreciate Monos, a luggage brand , shaking things up when delving into clothing. This set is as soft as any sweatpants out there, with a mid-length wide-leg pant and a short sleeve V-neck tee that's just slightly cropped.

Anything labeled Signaturesoft nails both the rest day and flying-comfortably mood we're going for. The top and bottom have a streamlined shape and the sweatpants are tapered at the ankle. Both pieces are made of a comfortable rayon, acrylic, and spandex mix, so you’ll feel cozy while still looking put together. The sweatshirt and sweatpants can be purchased individually and come in nearly a dozen colors should you want to mix and match, and the sweatshirt passes the video-conferencing-chic test, in that it looks more like a standard sweater than workout wear.

Not a hoodie person? You might like this cowl-neck top, which comes with cropped pants, both made of a super soft jersey and spandex fabric. Shop the set in gray, sky blue, strawberry, or buttercream, and wear it on your next overnight flight to feel like you're in pajamas.

You may never want to put on pajamas again after wearing Softwear's Lounge Set. The fabric is buttery soft inside and out. Both the pullover and joggers are tailored and fitted with a clean silhouette—the top could pass for a normal sweater—while still being ultra soft. Plus, it’s long-lasting: The sustainable fabric is pilling-resistant and made to keep its shape after every wear.

Made for pregnant or nursing moms, this Everly Grey set is designed to fit a baby bump and make nursing easier with side openings on the top. Made of stretchy fabric with cuffed ankles and wrists and pockets on the hips, it's a loose, ever-so-slightly tailored look you'll wear again and again. Order it in one of four neutral colors: black, charcoal, oyster pink, or denim blue.

Your body is perfect just the way it is and there is nothing more important than dressing to make yourself feel as confident as possible. You deserve to love the hell out of yourself and your vacation.

As a plus-size woman and an avid traveler, I’m no stranger to the last minute packing panic – the overpacking, the panic buying, the ability to spend almost as much on the clothes as the trip itself, the worries, the fears and the ‘maybe I shouldn’t go’ moments – but at the end of it all, the trip is always worth it. 

Pack for trips of one week or more without checking a bag.

• Thick comfortable straps
• Easy to organize
• Durable, waterproof fabric
• Backed by our Worldwide Warranty

Travel is for everyone and with growing movements to make travel more inclusive like #fatgirlstraveling and #plussizetraveltoo, there is no better time to shrug off your worries and take that trip you’ve always dreamt of. 

So, off the back off my most recent 7-month trip around Africa, Asia and the United States, here are my top tips for finding your stress free travel wardrobe as a plus-sized woman. 

Two Points, Before We Start:

1. Larger clothes = more material

There is no escaping the fact that larger clothes take up more room, and that means taking fewer items. ‘Multi-purpose’ is the name of the game here ladies. 

2. It’s not impossible to buy plus size clothes all over the world, but it’s not always easy.

News Flash: Fat people exist in every country! But not every country has easily accessible plus size clothing stores, so it’s worth spending the time to properly plan what you pack so you don’t get caught short. 

Get the Foundations Right

(if you only have time to read one section of this article, make it this one) .

The three following items are the holy trinity of plus-size travel packing , I promise you, they could make or break your trip. 

The Unmentionables  

Underwear , love it or loathe it, just don’t skip over thinking about it when you’re planning what to pack. 

Having the wrong underwear that makes you feel uncomfortable, like bras that chafe in hot weather or knickers that don’t stay up when you move around, will totally distract you from living your best vacation life. 

Hands up if you swell up in hot weather like me? Breathable and moister-wicking undies will be your best friend for comfort, keeping cool, and tp help to prevent skin irritations that occur in warm & wet environments. 

Chub Rub  

Traveling usually means moving your body more, and moving your body more can lead to chafing, ranging from the uncomfortable to the downright painful, especially in tropical climates that are hot and humid. 

Luckily, there are a lot of precautions you can take to prevent chub rub from ruining your trip. 

Applying anti-chafing creams, baby powder and even deodorant to potentially affected areas will help but for the dreaded thigh rub, I opt for wearing some thin cotton biker-style shorts under skirts and dresses. Find a colour that best matches your skin tone if you’re self-conscious about them showing (but don’t worry, my shorts have been the envy of my fellow every-size travelers all over the world!) 

Shoes, Glorious Shoes  

We’ve established that travel usually means more movement and more movement means more work for your feet. Take it from a fat girl who didn’t pack properly supporting shoes and spent months recovering from painful Plantar Fasciitis, shoes are important! 

Hiking sandals are now my go-to travel shoe. They offer great support, are often water-friendly (for all that island hopping you’ll be doing) and will take you on just about any terrain. All this, as well as being lightweight and allowing your feet to breathe. There are even brands like Chaco and Teva that are mixing all this high-tech with style, so there’s no excuse to be walking around in flip-flops . 

Before You Pack: 

Buying plus size clothing is tricky at the best of times, add travel, new activities and unfamiliar climates into the mix and it can feel overwhelming. Take a little time to plan out what you need, what you already have that’ll do the job and decide if there are any pieces you need to pick up. 

Here’s my fool-proof checklist: 

Double and triple check the climate of the places you’re visiting, this is easier when it’s one or two places but bear in mind that the same country can have multiple climates. For example, when I visited Jordan last Spring, the capital, Amman, was a chilly 6C but just 2 hours away, at the Dead Sea, it was a steamy 30C! 

Plan out all the activities you definitely want to do, as well as those you’d like to try out, so you can pack for them. This can be everything from a fancy dinner and sightseeing to a snorkelling trip or hiking! This will help you to realistically plan how many ‘specialist’ outfits you’ll need. 

Length of Time

Plan out no more than one week of outfits! One of the BIGGEST mistakes travellers make is overpacking. In reality, you will wear everything a couple of times and if you’re going away for longer than a week or so, you’ll want to do laundry.  

Check Out Local Customs

Sometimes you have to cover up your shoulders, knees and hair, or take off your shoes in order to be respectful of local religions and customs. Make sure you know ahead of time what to expect so there are no tricky moments.

A friend and I visited a beautiful old Mosque in Kuala Lumpur this year. I had researched and knew that I’d be required to cover up, my friend who was wearing shorts, was asked to wear a one-size-fits-all cover-up upon arrival but as I was dressed appropriately, I didn’t have to worry about fitting into it! 

Plus Sized Travel Clothes Brands

It’s one thing to bite the bullet and promise yourself that on this vacation you’re going to hike to a waterfall, but it’s another thing entirely to make sure you have the right clothing. Here is a collection of my tried and tested plus-size inclusive clothing brands. 

For Activewear

Fabletics is my go-to for cute & inclusive activewear, whether that’s for hiking, yoga or travel days (yes, I’m a yoga pants 24/7 kind of girl).

As of January 2020, their size range will go up to a US size 22-24 (4X) making it one of the most inclusive sportswear brands out there. 

I’ve mentioned them before, but they’re so good they get a second shout out, Chaco and Teva are two brands you HAVE to check out for supportive vacation footwear. Both brands stock wider widths too. 

For Swimwear

With the inclusion of lines by plus size style icons Gabi Fresh & Ashley Graham, as well as sizes ranging from US 4 – 32, SwimsuitsForAll is the place to find that fatkini to help you take your vacation by storm. 

For Everything Else

ASOS Curve , a personal favourite of mine, goes up to a US size 26 (5X) and is a one-stop-shop for everything from panties to evening gowns (I’m not kidding). Other store options I can recommend include Boohoo , SheIn & Old Navy. 

Plus Sized Travel Clothing: What to Pack

Lightweight, breathable, quick-drying and wrinkle-free materials.

These fabrics are your best friends, especially when shopping for plus size tropical vacation clothes! 

Rayon & Polyester get a bad rap but in my experience are cool, durable and extremely suitcase friendly (read: make great plus size, wrinkle-free travel clothing, nobody likes ironing!) 

But what about cotton, I hear you ask? While cotton is comfortable and breathable making it one of the best hot-weather materials, it creases like nobody’s business and can be weighed down by the moisture it absorbs, so if you love cotton, opt for a cotton-polyester blend for the best of both worlds. 

Multi-Purpose Items

To help you save on space (remember, with larger clothes = fewer options) pack items that do double duty.  

Sarongs are amazing multi-purpose space savers, great for everything from beach coverups & beach towels to an extra layer on a cool flight, a headscarf to keep the sun off your scalp and a way of covering your shoulders & knees at religious sights. 

Day-to-night clothing is a must. Prioritize pieces that can be dressed up or down easily with a few accessories – a simple dress in the day paired with your newly purchased hiking sandals can turn into a party dress by night by adding a long necklace, some lipstick and your designated pair of ‘night-time’ sandals. 

Make the Most of Your Airport Outfit

Deciding on your plus size airport outfit can be tricky, but here are my tips! 

Comfort over everything! I usually opt for my leggings and an oversized tunic or sweatshirt. Dressing smartly will not get you a free upgrade, but might make you uncomfortable. 

If you’re traveling to more than one destination, don’t wear your heaviest/bulkiest clothing – I know, I know, you think I’m crazy for saying that! But hear me out – that clothing has to fit in your bag at some point, right? I made the terrible mistake of flying from the UK in the winter wearing my jeans and sweatshirt and arriving in Egypt to 25C+ heat. I never wore my jeans again on the 7-month long trip and they became a huge burden because they just didn’t fit in my bag!

Pack for Comfort, Whatever That Means to You

I love dresses. I live in dresses, sleep in dresses, hell, I even hike in dresses. So when I listened to all the people telling me to take trousers on my latest and longest round-the-world-trip, I should’ve known it was a terrible idea. I ended up mailing my trousers home and searching high and low for shops that stocked my size so I could buy more dresses. Moral of the story? You know what clothes make you most comfortable, so pack those. 

You’ll be stuck with those clothes for the rest of your trip so this is not the time to experiment! 

Above All Else, Pack for Confidence! 

Will a Swimdress make you feel 100% more confident on the beach? 

Will having your favorite dress make you enjoy your trip even more? 

Then girl, rock it. 

Your body is perfect just the way it is and there is nothing more important than dressing to make yourself feel as confident as possible. You deserve to love the hell out of yourself and your vacation. Take the time to plan, research your destination and remember, if you’re having a blast, no one, not even you, will care what you’re wearing.

The Best Pajamas for Travel

These luxurious PJ sets will help you sleep soundly on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Alli Waataja

Even though I’m a carry-on-only traveler, I never vacation without multiple pairs of pajamas. I just don’t see the point of splurging on a cushy hotel, only to wear an old T-shirt to bed at night. A luxe pair of pajamas can elevate your entire bedtime routine, helping to keep you warm or cool at night, depending on your preference. Plus, if you prefer to snooze until the last possible minute before the breakfast buffet closes, you can roll out of bed in your sophisticated PJs and wear them right to your morning meal. 

The best pajamas for travel are lightweight and packable, but polished enough to be worn in public areas around your hotel. They’re crafted from durable, temperature-regulating fabrics that’ll keep you comfortable whether your accommodations run hot or cold. Read on to find our top picks.

Best Overall

Cozy earth long sleeve bamboo pajamas.

The super soft bamboo viscose fabric feels cool in the summer and warm in  the winter. 

Tall and petite lengths have more limited color options. 

This luxurious pajama set is my personal favorite to wear while traveling. I only own one pair of this super soft set, but it’s always the first pair I reach for after laundry day. The secret is in the fabric, which is premium viscose made from bamboo (plus a bit of spandex for added stretch). It feels cool to the touch, so I can get away with wearing a full-length set even in the middle of summer. However, it still keeps me plenty warm in the winter. I love that this set comes in petite and tall lengths, too. At 5-foot-7, I appreciate the extra length from the 32-inch Tall inseam. One of my favorite details is the thick, comfy waistband that keeps my pants secure even if I toss and turn at night. 

There are 10 colors and patterns available in the regular 29-inch inseam (five colors for petite and tall lengths). While Cozy Earth offers the PJs as a set, you can also buy the top and bottom as separates, which is great for people who size differently in tops and bottoms (like I do). Or, you can create a custom set with any combination of a short- or long-sleeve top with pants or shorts.  

The Details: XS to XXL in regular, petite, and tall lengths | 95 percent premium viscose from bamboo, 5 percent spandex

Best Cooling

Soma cool night pajamas.

The lightweight, cooling fabric holds up well after many washes.

They sell out quickly, so there’s often limited size inventory. 

I own more pajamas from Soma’s Cool Nights line than I care to count. These are the first pajamas I invested in that made me decide to stop sleeping in my old T-shirts for good since the lightweight rayon fabric is so much more comfortable than even the softest old tee. After many, many washes, each pair I own still has that like-new cooling feeling each time I put them on. 

Most of their pajamas are sold as separates, which gives you the flexibility to pick a different-sized top and bottom for a better fit. I appreciate that they make a variety of items in the same colors and patterns, so you can mix and match long- or short-sleeve tops with pants, capris, or shorts, as well as add matching accessories like robes and sleep cardigans .  

The Details: XS to XXL | 93 percent rayon, 7 percent spandex

Most Comfortable

Skims soft lounge sleep set.

The super-soft ribbed fabric is warm yet lightweight.

You’ll want to lay these flat to dry.  

Kim Kardashian’s undergarment and loungewear brand is known for its inclusiveness in sizing and color options, and this heavenly pajama set is no exception. The lightweight and breathable ribbed fabric went viral for its incredible softness, which makes it ultra-comfortable and a dream to relax in. The pajamas have a flattering, slouchy fit, and they come in nine beautiful hues and an equal amount of sizes. The menswear-inspired set was even crafted with locker loops so you can hang them in the hotel bathroom while you shower. 

The Details: XXS to 4X | 91 percent modal, 9 percent spandex

Best Versatile

Quince silk pajama pants.

Quince offers an unbeatable price for 100 percent silk. 

Sizing is limited. 

I’ll let you in on a secret: I’ve worn both this silk Quince tee and these flowy pants as daytime clothing and no one knew the difference. This duo is perfect for travel since you can casually wear it downstairs to the hotel breakfast and no one will guess you’re in your sleepwear. Plus, silk is the perfect fabric for travel since it’s naturally thermoregulating to help maintain body temperature — so it keeps you cool when it’s warm out and warm when it’s cold out. 

I’m partial to this tee since it also looks really cute with a pair of jeans, but you can pair the pants with a matching tank or button-up , if you prefer. The washable silk is convenient because it doesn’t need to be dry cleaned like many silk items do. My set has held up well through multiple washes (just be sure to line dry). 

The Details: XS to XL | 100 percent mulberry silk

Cherrydew Long Sleeve Button Down PJ Set

The cooling set is an affordable dupe for similar, pricier options. 

They tend to wrinkle easily.  

This budget-friendly set is crafted from 95 percent viscose from bamboo and 5 percent spandex — the same fabric combination as the much pricier Cozy Earth set. They feel very similar to the touch and make a great affordable alternative to more expensive pairs. 

I’ve added a pair of these into my rotation since I wanted a set that felt high-end, but I wasn’t ready to splurge on another pair from Cozy Earth. (Note that the Cozy Earth version does have a more flattering fit and size options.) Though lightweight and cooling, the set is substantial enough to be worn out and about in hotel common areas. 

The Details: S to XXL | 95 percent viscose made from bamboo, 5 percent spandex

Best Size-inclusive

Universal standard ultimates natalie jersey sleep set.

The breezy cotton set is perfect for warm-weather destinations. 

Thanks to the brand’s unique sizing model, you’ll probably order outside your typical size. 

Universal Standard’s unique sizing system is modeled after actual women. A medium is equivalent to a size 18 to 20, the average size of a woman in the U.S., and they engineer every larger and smaller size from there. This tank and shorts set practically begs to be taken to a warm-weather destination as the lightweight, soft fabric will keep you cool at night. Still, you can wander around your accommodations without anyone knowing you’re in your sleepwear thanks to the tank’s flattering V-neck design and the shorts’ adorable tulip overlap hem. 

The Details: 4XS to 4XL | 47 percent Lenzing modal, 47 percent cotton, 6 percent elastane

Best Short-sleeve

Cozy earth soft woven short sleeve pajama set.

The generously sized set provides a comfy, relaxed fit.

 It’s a splurge. 

With a sweet gingham pattern, this rayon-tencel set is sure to be the envy of the hotel breakfast buffet. It’s designed to have a slightly oversized fit, which gives extra comfort and a relaxed look. The summery set has a short-sleeve button-down top and wide-leg pants with an adjustable waistband. 

The Details: XS to XL | 70 percent rayon, 30 percent Tencel

Best Shorts

Cosabella short sleeve top & boxer pajama set.

There are eight fun colors to choose from with chic contrast piping.

The bottoms run a little small, so consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit. 

If you’re venturing to a warmer destination, this lightweight sleep ensemble will help keep you cool while you slumber. The menswear-inspired set comes in eight bright and neutral hues, each with contrast satin piping for added style. I love the feel of the super soft Peruvian Pima cotton and modal fabric, which is floaty yet substantial. I do find that these bottoms run a bit small though, so you may want to consider sizing up (I did). 

The Details: XS to 3X | 50 percent Pima cotton, 50 percent modal

Best for Warm Weather

Lilysilk 22 momme silk pajamas set.

The lustrous 22 momme silk is super soft.

Dark-colored silk items may experience slight fading during the first wash.

If you’re looking for moderately priced silk pajamas, Lilysilk has an excellent selection. I especially like this menswear-inspired button-down shirt and boxer set, which is crafted from super soft 22 momme charmeuse silk. The contrast piping, notch collar, and three-pocket shirt design all further elevate the look of this luxe set for under $200. (I found the bottoms to be tight around the thighs and there isn’t any stretch, so you may want to consider sizing up.) You can monogram this set for an additional $9, which also makes it a great item for gifting. For an additional $30, the sizing can be customized to your body for the perfect fit. 

The Details: XS to XL | 22 momme charmeuse silk

Eberjey Washable Silk Long PJs

The luxe set is machine washable.

It’s very expensive. 

Eberjey is one of my favorite places to buy pajamas and loungewear, and the brand’s washable silk selection stands out above others I’ve tried. Silk pajamas are the epitome of luxury with a deliciously smooth feel and modern look, but they’re also functional and practical for travel since they’re lightweight and thermoregulating.

This long-sleeve set is available in an excellent color selection, with eight gorgeous hues and nine fun patterns to choose from. The fabric is biodegradable and hypoallergenic, and it’s conveniently machine washable to save you from a dreaded dry cleaning bill. My pair has held up quite well after being laundered many times. A bonus: you can have your pair monogrammed for an extra $15. And while you’re at it, you may want to add a matching silk eye mask to your haul. 

The Details: XS to XL | 100 percent silk

Best With Pockets

Tommy john downtime henley jogger lounge set.

The warm and cozy set is great for lounging or sleeping. 

Short and long inseams are only available when purchasing the bottoms separately. 

For trips to chillier climates, I recommend this wonderfully warm (but not hot) set by Tommy John, which includes a stretchy ribbed henley top and baggy lounge joggers with deep, functional pockets. It’s perfect for cozying up with a hot cocoa by the ski lodge fireplace, then getting straight into bed. A few years ago, I bought my first set of these luxe pajamas, and I’ve treated myself to a new color every year since. 

Although it’s sold as a set, there are more colors available when you buy the henley separately from the joggers. The joggers also come in short and longer inseams when sold separately. The machine-washable set is shrink-resistant, so it keeps its shape without any sagging. 

The Details: XS to XXL | 66 percent acrylic, 29 percent modal, 5 percent spandex

Best Pajama Bundle

Lake pointelle pants bundle.

The set includes a tank and long-sleeve option as well as pants.

All three must be bought in the same size.

Perhaps you like your hotel room nice and chilly, but you’d like to take your complimentary breakfast outdoors by the pool. That’s why a versatile pajama bundle, such as this dreamy blue trio from Lake, comes in handy. It includes a pair of wide-leg, ankle-length pants, a breezy tank top, and a long-sleeve crew-neck pullover.

Personally, I wear the pants and the tank at night, since I tend to run hot when I sleep, and then I throw the crew neck over my shoulders when I head downstairs for breakfast in case the hotel has the air conditioning blasting. The Pima cotton fabric is a bit of a heavier weight than most of the other items on our list, but it has a light pointelle weave so it’s not too warm. 

The Details: XXS to XXL | 100 percent Pima cotton

Tips for Buying Pajamas for Travel

Think about temperature control.

The fabric of your pajamas can make or break your sleep experience. Pick a fabric that’s soft to the touch and lightweight if you plan to pack it. If you’re a hot sleeper, look for something cooling to keep you from sweating at night. Thermoregulating fabrics like silk are great for any destination because they keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 

Consider versatility

Although your animal-print pajamas may be adorable, you might opt for a more sophisticated look if you plan to wear your set downstairs to the hotel breakfast. Look for upscale fabrics like silk, or pajamas that resemble loungewear like a henley and jogger set. Make sure the fabric isn’t sheer to reveal your undergarments. Darker colors tend to be more opaque than lighter ones. 

The American Cleaning Institute recommends washing your pajamas after three or four wears, although if you tend to sweat at night or sleep without underwear, you may want to wash them more frequently. If you routinely shower right before getting into bed, you may be able to squeeze an extra wear or two out of your pajamas. 

Ultimately, that’s a matter of preference, as there are a number of top-notch pajama fabrics to choose from. Cotton is a soft, natural material that’s breathable and durable. Tencel modal, on the other hand, is temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking and is therefore often used in cooling pajamas. Silk is another natural, temperature-regulating fabric, but it doesn’t offer as much stretch, so you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.

Struggling to find awesome plus size travel clothing ideas? One traveler swears by this brand. Find out what it is!

Plus Size Travel Clothing

Written by: Phebe Schwartz

One of my favorite brands for plus size travel clothing is Eileen Fisher .  Her clothes are based on what Eileen Fisher calls “The System”:  grab a top, add a bottom, throw on an outer layer, and voila, you have an outfit.

Everything is designed to be layered – perfect for travel! 

Eileen Fisher clothes tend to be a bit pricy, but the quality is outstanding, as are the fabrics of organic cotton or linen, modal jersey, cashmere, merino wool, and silk.

Her designs can be found at large department stores such as Nordstroms , Macy’s , Lord & Taylor , and on the Eileen Fisher website as well. (If you shop online, their models may not be plus-size even though the sizing is available.)

Sizing:  Eileen Fisher sizing tends to be a bit generous.  Items can be in petite, misses, or plus.  However, the misses XL usually fits size 16-18, or even 20 if it’s an oversized or boxy shape.  If you’re in a store, try a variety of sizes.  Her plus sizes are quite generously cut.

Helpful hint:   I always check the “sale” section online, and will save favorites while watching to see when prices drop even further.  I do the same at the department store sites.  When an item is 50% off or more, I grab it.

Mandarin-Collar Button-Front Shirt

The long-sleeved shirt

A long-sleeved shirt is indispensable for travel.  This can be worn alone, over a tank or tee, or under a sweater or blazer.  It can also be worn as an additional layer under or over the right dress.  My preference is white, because it looks so crisp with black.

Want to look your best when traveling but still be comfortable. Read my travel tips to Pack Light Stylishly !

  Linen Cargo slacks

Basic trousers

Eileen Fisher has tailored slacks , harem pants, fitted or slouchy slacks , man-tailored trousers – I like her linen cargo slacks that are slightly cropped, and the lantern slacks which turn in just slightly at the ankle.

Use packing cubes to help you organize and even compress your belongings to maximize your space.

The linen knit skirt travels beautifully, but so does the straight viscose jersey.  Both work well with just about every top.

Organic Linen V-Neck Tee

The linen knit tees are light and airy, perfect for hot weather.

For really hot weather, a tank top will keep you cool, especially in natural fibers.  If you are self-conscious about your upper arms, look for a top with cap sleeves for a bit more coverage.

Embellished top

I adore the beaded tops, but suspect they’d be too heavy for traveling.  The silk tops, however, are luxurious enough to dress up a pair of jeans, but are light as a feather.

Chambray shift dress

So many dresses to choose from!  I like Eileen Fisher dresses that can be worn over her slacks, leggings, tights, or under any of the sweaters or jackets.  Look for versatility as well as what is flattering for your shape.  (The viscose jersey can be a bit heavy, so consider this when ordering online.)

Cashmere Shawl Collar Cardigan

I love her boxy pullovers, but I also adore cashmere cardis that go with everything.

Hooded Weather-Resistant Jacket

Blazer or jacket

This little cotton knit jacket works with slacks, jeans, skirts, a dress.  The vaguely military styling in absolutely on trend right now, but is so classic that it will still work five years from now.

I’d love to be able to fill my luggage with Eileen Fisher clothes, but my budget isn’t quite up to that.  However, a few of her items will definitely add a more elegant and luxurious look to a wardrobe of basics; and if you buy on sale, you won’t break your budget.

Eileen Fisher can feel a bit staid. Do you have suggestions for brighter, hipper, but still practical and comfortable staples?

Hi Anne, we have a wide range of categories for travel friendly clothes on the blog, all featuring recommendations from our readers reflecting different price points, sizes and different audiences. Take a look!

I haven’t heard of Eileen Fisher brand before, but I don’t go shopping at stores that often. Will check out the website. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi Phebe Love your tips. I look best in vests, usually size 16 – 20 depending on the cut. Where should I look for good ones for home and to also travel on tours with.

Hi Sherry, thanks for your question! We’ll share your question here so the author of the article can reply 🙂

Thanks, Alex, for giving us plus sized girls another option for good quality travel clothing. As I search for great capsule pieces I’ll definitely look here.

Thanks Michala!

I have an Eileen Fisher black (now faded) snap-front lightweight jacket (with pockets) that went with me on a three week trip to Europe & I wear it at home ALL the time, too. The weight works even in heat like Rome in early Sept with just a cami or tank top underneath. I stuffed it in my day bag & it was crush resistant- no ironing! The weight works well over a long sleeved T-shirt, too. I got it at Goodwill, my absolute favorite place to look first for travel clothing. I often find new items with the price tags still on. If I don’t find what I need at Goodwill, Red, White & Blue or other thrift shop), THEN I’ll go to REI or look at the travel-specific brands.

Great brands Josephine! Thanks for sharing your great tips! Happy travels!

I just found some 2X-sized merino wool base and middle layers on the Cabela’s website. They partner with Icebreaker to create larger items (and cheaper too!) than on Icebreaker’s own website. I ordered a long-sleeved base layer and may order a few more if the fit is right. I would have never thought about Cabela’s for travel wear!!

That’s a great tip! I’ll start looking at Cabela’s clothing from now on. Thanks Rhonda 🙂

I guess it depends on what you intend to do when travelling,but I DID pack a skirt on my 2nd long trip overseas, only to never wear it.I’m a pants girl,through and through,so the 3rd long trip had only pants.The rest of the list I agree with.(My trips have been 7-12 weeks and in many countries throughout each trip.)

It’s good that you know what works for you. I’m not a skirt girl either. I’ve tried to like them but I just don’t and prefer pants or shorts instead. Always go with what works for you 🙂

Thanks for the love, Alex! Great travel picks.

Thank you! Your travel-friendly clothes are fab!

Lightweight, packable, stylish, and cozy—you’ll be so happy you packed these travel pajamas when you slip into them after a long day on the road. Made with high-performing fabrics to regulate temperature, wick away moisture, and keep you comfortable all night long, these sleepwear essentials have earned a spot in your suitcase.

Cool-jams Cami Shorty Pajama Set

Tend to overheat when you sleep? Keep your cool with Cool-jams’ Cami Shorty Pajama Set , which is made from a proprietary smart fabric that helps control your temperature, wicks away moisture, dries quickly, and prevents odor-causing bacteria from forming. The camisole has a built-in shelf bra, making these the perfect travel pajamas because the top can double as a workout shirt or layering tank.

Saxx Snooze Pant and Sleepwalker Tee

Made from a super soft modal/elastane blend, the Saxx Snooze Pant and Sleepwalker Tee feel like a second skin. The fabric is moisture-wicking, and both the shirt and pants have non-chafing flat seams and no tags, so nothing will interrupt your sleep.

Peruvian Connection Annie’s Nightgown

This long, elegant-looking nightgown is perfect for chillier climates or situations where you want to be a bit more covered up. Made out of cotton and modal, this stretchy nightgown could pass for a maxi dress during the day, but is comfortable enough for sleeping. Rock it on your next long-haul flight and get away with wearing pajamas in public.

Dagsmejan Nattcool Tank Top and Shorts

Headed somewhere hot? Dagsmejan’s trademarked Nattcool fabric (made from naturally cooling eucalyptus) is eight times more breathable than cotton and dries in one third the time, so you’ll stay fresh even in a non-air conditioned room. Combine the Nattcool tank top with the shorts for a stylish matching set.

Amorbella Thermal Underwear Set

Amorbella Thermal Underwear Set is the best travel pajama when you want warmth without the weight. This thin set is ultra-soft and can double as a base layer for winter activities. It’s available in a wide range of colors and sizes, as well in as a men’s sized version .

TexereSilk Silk Pajama Set

You don’t have to blow your whole travel wardrobe budget if you want silk pajamas. This set by TexereSilk is affordable but still offers the classy look and luxurious feel of real silk. This silk can even be machine washed on delicate, saving you from dry-cleaner runs.

J.Crew Factory Short-Sleeve End-on-End Pajama Set

J.Crew Factory is the place to go if you’re looking for stylish retro pajama sets at bargain prices. The short-sleeve end-on-end pajama set has rave reviews and great details like contrasting piping, and the site is constantly having sales, so you can avoid paying full price.

BP Cozy Joggers

Jogger-style pants are very trendy right now, so you wouldn’t be embarrassed running an errand or boarding a plane in BP’s Cozy Joggers . These bottoms are available in sizes from XXS to 3X, and even have pockets.

17+ Plus Size Airport Outfits | Traveling While Plus Size

Sharing is caring!

Hey there! This post contains affiliate links.  Using my links means I earn a commission, which helps me create more rad content.  More on affiliates here .

Is there anything better than travel? I travel almost every month for work, and I have spent a LOT of time in airports, lol. Today, I’m sharing 7 of my go-to plus size airport outfits – making it easy for you to travel in style.

If you’re wondering, “What should I wear on a plane as a plus size traveler?” I got you! Keep on reading!!!

[Fun fact, i’m literally writing this blog post in an airport! Hello from St. Louis airport, lol!]

[Note: This blog post was originally written on June 27, 2021. It was last updated February 8, 2022! While I strive to keep my posts up-to-date, brands do make changes! Be sure to check all sizing and pricing information with the brand! <3]

This blog post is all about plus size airport outfits.

Plus Size Airport Outfits FTW!

I’ve put together a guide for plus size airport outfits below, and before we jump in I want to remind you to CHECK THE SIZE CHART before ordering. A size 18 in one brand is not the same in another! I recommend getting a cheap tape measurer from Amazon , so you can take your measurements before ordering (that’s what I do)! NEVER assume that sizes are the same across brands, bestie!

Not everyone has the same style, so I’ve organized the round up by personality and aesthetic! Enjoy!

My Tips for Plus Size Airport Outfits

• STRETCH: When shopping for a plus size airport outfit, I recommend going for items that have STRETCH (jersey, cotton spandex, etc),
• DARK COLORS: I like to choose a plus size airport outfit ina dark color, in case you spill Starbucks on yourself at the airport! <3

WHEN SHOPPING FOR A PLUS SIZE AIRPORT OUTFIT, I RECOMMEND GOING FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE STRETCH (JERSEY, COTTON SPANDEX, ETC), AS WELL AS DARKER COLORS – IN CASE YOU SPILL STARBUCKS ON YOURSELF AT THE AIRPORT! <3

#1 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Midi Skirt & Trench Coat

OMG y’all, I think that this plus size airport outfit from PrettyLittleThing is so chic! I am obsessed!

• Plus size trench coat (different from picture!)
• Plus size white top
• Plus size black midi-skirt

This plus size babe is ready to jet set!

#2 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea from Eloquii – Corporate Travel

First up on my roundup of plus size airport outfits is this plus size airport outfit .

This outfit follows my “Put a blazer on it!” rule when it comes to traveling as a business professional. A plus size jumpsuit or romper is super cozy for travel, and you can throw on a blazer to be more professional.

If you’re traveling for work, it’s probably not a good idea to show up at the airport in leggings and a hoodie you slept in (I mean, I’ve done it, but I don’t recommend it, lol)!! I found this outfit on Eloquii, and I love the stretch jumpsuit paired with an oversized blazer. The black romper is currently sold out (ugh), but you can easily recreate this with another black romper or jumpsuit.

This look can be dressed up when you throw on your blazer, but is comfy in a cramped airline seat! I’d add in hoop earrings and a clip to put your hair up, and you’re ready to travel the skies!! Pair with some nice flats ( these are super cute) , and bam. Good to go!

#3 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Matching Sweatsuit Set

Ok, so a glam plus size airport outfit is the ubiquitous SWEAT SET.

When it come to traveling, I want to be *comfy*, but I don’t want to look like a slob! I’ve met some really rad people in airports (and dated people I’ve met in airports, lol), so it’s important to me to look put together – but also be comfortable for a long flight. I’ve seen a number of folks travel in these, and the y can be super CHIC or super NOT. It’s easy to go frumptastic here.

For this reason, I freaking love plus size tracksuits for travel. If you want to be elevated, you can go with a creme plus size tracksuit from Eloquii, or a more fitted option. Make sure to get a set that *looks* like a set (With matching logo or design) to have the best impact.

Here’s a few more tips:

• If possible, go with a light color. A tan or neutral sweatsuit fit is super chic. If you’re like me and worried about spilling on yourself, then go with a dark red [like below]. AVOID BLACK.
• If you have long hair, put your hair in a sleek high ponytail.
• Avoid the pants dragging on the ground [def not chic]. Roll them up at the ankles.
• There’s something about showing an ankle bone when wearing a sweatsuit that is so chic! I’d get mine tailored a bit to show a little ankle [lol]. I know this sounds weird, but it’s true!!

Below, I’ve shared some of my fave plus size sweatsuit finds for the perf comfy plus size airport outfit!

#4 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Jumpsuit with Stretch

Next plus size airport outfit? A JUMPSUIT !

Ok, hear me out:

Plus size jumpsuits [made out of super soft fabric] are basically stylish pajamas. It is suchhhh a hack to wear a chic an well-fitting jumpsuit to the airport!

Now, to be CLEAR – I’m talking about a plus size jumpsuit made out of jersey and other stretch material. The fabric needs to have GIVE, baby – otherwise, you’ll be miserable and tugging on your clothes the whole flight. To see what fabric a clothing piece is made out of, go to the product page and look under “Product Details.” You may have to Google the fabrics listed – and I promise it’s worth the time to know what the garment is made out of!! <3

Shop this comfy plus size airport outfit here !

#5 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Maxi Dress & Jean Jacket

If you’re a plus size babe who gets cold when you fly on an airplane, then this next plus size airport outfit is for you!

This plus size travel outfit from City Chic features a long black maxi dress and jean jacket. I loooove the layers here!

If you’re still worried about getting cold, you can add plus size leggings under the maxi dress [ultimate life hack] ++ a cami or undershirt. Boom! Lots of layers.

I think what makes this outfit SUPER chic is the footwear – it looks like these are similar to converse Chuck sneakers. Love it!

Shop this plus size airport look here !

#6 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Classic Beach Vibes

When I saw this photo on the Lane Bryant website, I knew I had to share it! This is a classic plus size airport outfit, feautring:

• Jean Jacket
• Cute Shorts
• Cute sandals – not flip flops!!

^^ The items pictured in this outfit are sold out, so I found the closest matches I could!

This outfit is also a great option for sightseeing! Some folks may replace the white t-shirt with a striped shirt or graphic tee. BOOM! Cute, comfy and put together.

Note: I recommend getting sandals with a back, like these. Flip flops can trip you up in an airport, and I’ve had more than one person “flat tire” me as I’ve deplaned. Ugh. Def get a sandal, folks!

#7 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Sophisticated Pastel

Circling back to the oversized blazer idea from #1 is this gorgeous and sumptuous outfit from Eloquii. Between the blazer and the trousers – I am LIVING!

This would be a great outfit to wear if you’re headed to a beach vacation, but you’re not quite ready to break out the gauzey dresses and plus size resort wear just yet!

This plus size outfit is sold out, but I wanted to keep it in this roundup to serve as plus size airport outfit inspiration!

#8 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Lantern Sleeve Top (What I’m wearing Right NOW!)

Next up on our plus size airport outfit journey [see what I did there?], we have a plus size casual top that I LOVEEEEE!

Y’all, I’m so obsessed with this plus size top that I own it in FOUR colors. I own *11* of these bad boys!! This top is super lightweight and breathable fabric that’s easy to layer, and it looks classy. It’s also super easy to wipe off spills (anyone else spill on themselves while traveling), and they’re a great option for all sorts of trips.

I recommend pairing it with a pair of black jeggings (I wrote about my fave plus size jeggings HERE) , and avoiding denim. We want stretch on the plane, babe!

Shop this plus size airport-perfect top HERE .

#9 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Trench Coat & Joggers

I feel like this is a CLASSIC airport outfit – I see it all of the time when I fly into JFK! This is a super chic and comfy plus size airport outfit, pairing a jogger sweat set with a plus size trench coat.

Remember, when dressing for a flight, we always dress in LAYERS, baby!

Shop plus size airport outfit here !

#10 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Comfy Plus Size Outfits From Amazon

Okay, so! In doing research for my guide to plus size airport outfit ideas, I found a bunch of comfy stretch outfits on Amazon. I’m sharing those outfits below, BUT I haven’t tried any of these — so I can’t vouch for them! I am INTRIGUED though, so I decided to share them in this post! <3

All of these outfits are available in multiple colors. Click the image for more details! (Be sure to check the size chart measurements!!!)

Click the image for more details!

#11 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Stretch Pont Pants & Tee

Ok, so “pont” is a great fabric for a plus size airport outfit – because it’s a bit thick and STRETCHES. This fabric holds its form, while also being comfy to sit in.

Pont plus size pants are my go-to for all plus size workwear!

Torrid had a few fun options, which. love. I style plus size pont pants with a fun graphic tee and fitted jacket, or sometimes a black chic hoodie in an airport.

Shop plus size pont pants here!

#12 Plus Size Airport Outfit Idea – Plus Size Duster Set

I am such a fan of plus size duster sets, as they look super chic and they often have, wait for it, STRETCH. This plus size duster set from Boohoo is quite chic (I am OBSESSED with this color, lol), and it comes in a few colors!

You can swap out the duster jacket for a jean jacket, hoodie or cardigan, or wear the duster jacket with plus size high waist jeans and a graphic tee. A skirt-duster set is GREAT for plus size travel!

Shop this plus size duster set here !

#13 Plus Size Airport Outfit : Mesh Top & Trousers

If you’re looking for a plus size airport outfit that’s a bit more put together and chic — but you still want to be comfy on the plane — then may I suggest a mock neck mesh top?

IDK who decided these were now IN and TRENDY, but I for one am so grateful! I love layering these super chic tops, and they’re soooo comfy!

Eloquii has some of the best options out there, so I always keep an eye on their website!

Shop these plus size airport outfits here!

#14 Plus Size Airport Outfit : Graphic Tees

I am a HUGE fan of graphic tees as part of a plus size airport outfit idea ! They are so fun, and I like to style mine with pointed toe boots or combat boots. (Zippable shoes are easier to take off at TSA, in my travel experience.)

History of Kabardino-Balkaria

Before the founding of Kabardino-Balkaria, two historical regions were located within its territory - Kabarda and Balkaria.

Kabarda consisted of two principalities - Bolshaya (Large) Kabarda and Malaya (Small) Kabarda that occupied the plains and foothills of the present republic, as well as the mountain and alpine area in the upper reaches of the Malka River and its tributaries. Balkaria, divided into five mountain communities, occupied mainly mountainous and highland areas of the present republic.

In 1557, Kabarda formed an alliance with Russia. In 1561, Ivan IV the Terrible married the daughter of the famous Kabardian Prince Temryuk Idarov.

In 1774, according to the Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, the land of Bolshaya Kabarda formally ceded to Russia. In 1827, Balkaria also became part of Russia.

After the Civil War in Russia, Kabarda and Balkaria became the administrative districts of Gorsky Autonomous Socialist Republic. In 1922, Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Oblast was formed. In 1936, it received a new status - Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

In 1942, most of the republic including the city of Nalchik was occupied by the Germans during the Second World War. In January 1943, Kabardino-Balkaria was liberated.

In 1944, the deportation of the Balkars in Central Asia and Kazakhstan was organized by the Soviet authorities. It was a punishment for “collaboration” with the Germans during the occupation. The republic was renamed in Kabardian ASSR. In 1957, the Balkars began to return to their homeland and the republic received its old name - Kabardino-Balkar ASSR.

In 1992, it became an independent republic of the Russian Federation.
