Holiday Travel Outfits for Women: 5 Cozy Combinations

Holiday travel has a very specific energy. You’re juggling luggage, snacks, chargers, gate changes, and family group texts—all before 8 AM. The last thing you need is an outfit that adds to the chaos. The key is balance: comfort without looking sloppy, style without being fussy, warmth without bulk.

Enter: SPANX travel outfits. Our travel-ready fabrics blend softness, stretch, breathability, and structure, so you can move (or sit on a plane for six hours) while still feeling polished.

Below, we’re sharing five go-to holiday travel outfits for women, featuring matching sets and elevated basics designed to keep you feeling your best from takeoff to touchdown.

SPANX Get Moving Brushed Full Zip Jacket & Booty Boost Leggings

If your travel day involves moving fast—or just staying comfortable—the Get Moving Brushed Full Zip Jacket and Booty Boost Brushed Leggings are the ideal pairing.

The jacket is made with sweat-wicking performance fabric and a gently brushed interior that delivers warmth without the heavy fleece feel. The relaxed silhouette layers easily over tees or tanks, and the invisible zip pockets keep your essentials close (boarding pass, AirPods, lip balm—handled).

The Booty Boost Brushed Leggings bring the same cozy interior plus a supportive performance stretch. The signature contoured waistband provides 360° shaping that stays put (even when you’re bending, reaching for overhead bins, or power-walking to your gate). They deliver the warmth of fleece-lined leggings minus the bulk—meaning you travel warm but never overheated.

AirEssentials Brushed Flare Pant & Full Zip Jacket

This outfit reads cozy chic, like “I woke up looking this comfortable.”

The AirEssentials Brushed Full Zip Jacket is made from our signature spacer fabric: it’s light-as-air, with a soft brushed interior for extra warmth. The fit is relaxed, effortless, and flattering—especially layered over tanks or long sleeves.

Pair it with the AirEssentials Brushed Flare Pant, which has the same next-level-soft feel with a relaxed fit and subtle flare. It adds just enough movement for a stylish silhouette while staying ultra-cozy.

SPANX AirEssentials Brushed V-Neck Tunic & Slim Straight Pant

If you like a longer top for travel (especially with leggings), the AirEssentials Brushed V-Neck Tunic is the perfect solution. The tunic length provides full rear coverage, and the light-as-air brushed interior makes it feel like wearing a blanket—but in a polished way.

The Brushed Slim Straight Pant matches in fabric and feel, offering a relaxed yet tailored silhouette. Together, they create a soft, minimal, elevated travel uniform that looks chic even after a long flight.

AirEssentials Half Zip & Wide Leg Pant

Our AirEssentials Half Zip is your throw-on-and-go top—oversized, breathable, and incredibly soft. It has optimal airflow and circulation, meaning you stay comfortable no matter how long your day is. It layers beautifully over tanks, tees, or thermals, making it ideal for fluctuating climates (airport cold → plane warm → arrival freezing).

The AirEssentials Wide Leg Pant creates a leg-lengthening silhouette and features a fit-flexible waistband that stays put while you move. The drawcord allows you to customize the fit, which is especially great when you're settling in for a long ride.

SPANX AirEssentials Turtleneck & Wide Leg Pant

When you want to look instantly polished while feeling like you’re wearing pajamas, this is your match.

Our AirEssentials Turtleneck is ultra-drapey, smooth, breathable, and soft. It’s relaxed but refined and always looks intentional. Pair it with the Zero Waistband Wide Leg Pant, which features a super-smooth, stay-put waistband and invisible zipper pockets for a clean silhouette.

This is the look that says, Yes, I travel. Stylishly. Even if the reality is delayed flights and juggling gift bags.
