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.
