For the modern traveller, whether on business or leisure, a suit that can withstand the rigours of travel is essential. The days of arriving at your destination with a wrinkled, uncomfortable outfit are over. At The Couturist, we craft travel-resistant suits designed to keep you looking fresh and polished from takeoff to touchdown. Here’s how to choose the perfect travel-friendly suit and maintain your sharp look no matter where the journey takes you.
What Makes a Suit Travel-Resistant?
Traditional suits tend to wrinkle easily, but high-performance fabrics like:
Wool Blends – Maintain their shape and resist creasing while offering breathability.
Stretch Performance Fabrics – Provide flexibility and comfort, ideal for long-haul flights.
Mohair Blends – Naturally resistant to wrinkles and perfect for varying climates.
Lightweight and Breathable Construction
Opt for half-lined or unstructured jackets to reduce bulk while ensuring ventilation. Suits made with open-weave fabrics, such as fresco wool, allow for better airflow and comfort during long hours of wear.
Packing Like a Pro
Rolling vs. Folding
Instead of folding your suit, roll it gently to prevent harsh creases. If you must fold, use a dry-cleaning bag between layers to minimise wrinkles.
Use a Garment Bag
A quality garment bag keeps your suit protected and ready to wear upon arrival. Opt for water-resistant options if travelling to humid or unpredictable climates.
Hang It Up Immediately
Upon arrival, hang your suit in a steamy bathroom to let the fabric relax and any light wrinkles fall out naturally.
Mix and Match
A travel-resistant suit isn’t just about durability—it’s about versatility. Opt for a neutral-coloured jacket that pairs well with multiple trousers, allowing you to create different looks with minimal packing.
Loafers Over Laces
Pairing your travel suit with slip-on loafers or Chelsea boots makes security checks hassle-free while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic.
