Summer is calling—and with it comes the urge to explore, unwind, and escape. Whether you're jet-setting across the country, packing up the car for a weekend getaway, or simply chasing sunsets in your hometown, your summer style should move effortlessly with you. At Sol Angeles, we believe that the best travel outfits are those that combine comfort, versatility, and an elevated sense of ease.
Here’s your ultimate summer travel guide, complete with styling tips, packing suggestions, and inspiration for the season ahead.
1. Dress for the Journey, Not Just the Destination
Let’s face it: travel days can be unpredictable. Long security lines, unpredictable AC on flights, or hours in the car can easily take a toll on comfort. That’s why it’s essential to build your travel outfit around breathable fabrics, relaxed silhouettes, and thoughtful layering.
For women, our Sol Waves Half-Zip Fleece paired with the Coastal Waves Pant is the perfect travel uniform—cozy yet refined.
For men, opt for the Circle Waves Pullover Hoodie and Leo Jogger from our textured terry collection. These pieces bring softness and polish to any travel day ensemble.
2. Build a Capsule Wardrobe That Works Overtime
Whether you’re headed to wine country or a beachside retreat, packing smart is key. Build your wardrobe around a few essentials that can be mixed and matched for different looks—without taking up too much space in your weekender.
Start with a base of Sol Staples—our go-to collection of elevated basics for men, women, and kids. The Men’s Croft Tee and Women’s Watercolor Venice Tee are ideal for layering and can be dressed up or down depending on your plans.
For easy outfit rotation, choose neutral tones and add a pop of color or print through statement layers like the Lavigne Bomber Jacket.
3. Make Room for Spontaneity
From last-minute hikes to an impromptu beach dip, summer travel is full of surprises. Be ready with lightweight pieces that dry fast and fold neatly into your day bag. The Malibu Short and Solstice Weekender Crewneck strike the perfect balance between laid-back and on-the-go functionality.
Planning to be active? Our coastal-inspired joggers and versatile tanks provide just the right amount of stretch and breathability for movement—whether it's a yoga session on the beach or a quick walk through a scenic downtown.
4. Travel With the Whole Crew
Summer memories are best made together. If you're heading out with the family, don’t overlook the power of coordinated comfort. Our matching Sol Staples sets for men, women, and kids bring a sense of unity without compromising style.
Dress the kids in cozy favorites like the Kids Adams Hoodie or Crystal Cove Hoodie, and let them explore in pieces that are just as durable as they are stylish.
For that picture-perfect family moment? Matching sets in neutral tones like ecru, heather grey, or juniper always photograph beautifully—and they pack well, too.
5. Pack Light, Live Large
Traveling light doesn’t mean sacrificing style. In fact, having fewer, better pieces often leads to a more curated and confident look. Stick to versatile silhouettes and wrinkle-resistant fabrics that move with you, not against you.
Sol Angeles pieces are designed to do just that—take our Gauzy Maxi Dress, for example. It transitions seamlessly from plane to poolside and can be elevated with a simple accessory swap.
