Don’t get me wrong—I love jet-setting away to a new destination on the other side of the planet, but sometimes all you need is a low-key road trip to keep you going during the summer. Of course, when you’re spending a number of hours crammed into a car with your friends, packing the right road trip outfits can easily fall on the lackluster side, leading you to opt for easy loungewear. However, if you plan on making a few stops along the way to your final destination, why not take your personal style along for the ride?

I love keeping it local in the summertime and have figured out the perfect comfortable formulas to wear on the road. (I also have the perfect snack list, but I'll keep the subject to clothes today.) From polished matching sets to a sporty moment with track pants, these looks will both ensure you look good for every stop and have you feeling comfortable on the long journey.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
