This Old Navy Linen Set Is the Best Travel Outfit

During spring and summer, there’s nothing more comfortable than a breezy linen set. The fabric isn’t only beloved for its airy, moisture-wicking qualities, but also for its effortless style. While I’d consider myself a big fan of linen clothing, my mom is a true devotee, and she’s recently inspired me with a stylish linen set that’s surprisingly affordable. 

The Old Navy Linen-blend Wide-leg Pants and coordinating Loose Button-down Shirt make the ideal matching set for spring and summer travel. Made of a linen-viscose blend, the fabric boasts all the airiness of typical linen, but with better wrinkle-resistance and softness. After hearing my mom rave about this set (and seeing how elevated she looks in it), I’m adding one to my own cart—and it’s just $58 at Old Navy.

Linen is a fan favorite for many reasons, but softness is typically not one of them. If anything, linen is known to be pretty stiff, although it softens with wear. This Old Navy matching set is an exception. My mom raves that it’s “softer and has a better drape” than 100 percent linen.

The flattering drape is enhanced by side slits on the shirt, which add extra comfort and flowiness to the top. The wide-leg pants add to the breezy appearance of the set, elongating the outfit’s silhouette without looking overly baggy. Plus, the pants feature an elastic waistband that’s supremely comfortable, so you’ll feel cozy on long flights and sightseeing days alike—just keep in mind the pants run wide in the waist. 

While this linen matching set isn’t entirely wrinkle-resistant, travelers will love its ability to stay crisp all day. My mom claims it “wrinkles so much less” than the rest of her linen collection. That means you can sit, lounge, and even travel in the set without worrying about looking untidy.

You can snag this set in a variety of colors and prints, including white, rust, black, and pinstriped options. And its versatility is unrivaled: throw it over a swimsuit for a beachy coverup, style it with strappy heels for a vacation dinner, or pair it with white sneakers for an effortless look running errands. You can even snag the items individually if sets aren’t quite your speed. The top and pants can be separately styled with just about anything in your travel capsule wardrobe.

Your options don’t stop there, though. Old Navy’s linen shop is filled with coordinating linen-blend pieces, so you can design your preferred set (or even buy multiple pieces in the same color). I’m a fan of the Linen-blend Pull-on Shorts and the Linen-blend Crop Top, but there are so many styles to choose from. 

While this set is one of the best linen outfits around, keep reading for more affordable options that deserve a spot in your suitcase. Prices start at just $25.
