Recently, I recommended eight affordable, comfortable matching set outfits for women to wear on planes. Now, it’s time to do the same for menswear.

Though menswear doesn’t have nearly the same variety or budget-friendly prices as womenswear, my suggestion still holds up: if you regularly wonder what to wear on planes, buying a matching set is the solution.
Buy one outfit, then never worry about what to wear on a plane again. Even better, if you make a savvy purchase, you’ve also got a great vacation outfit in your arsenal.
I’ve rounded up eight great starter sets for men that are available on Amazon right now for a reasonable price. As with my women’s picks, you can always shop for a name-brand if you like the idea. Matching sets are available from just about every clothing brand that offers athleisure and loungewear.
What to wear on a plane: 8 picks for men
Short sleeves & shorts (1): Coofandy Men’s 2-Piece
This casual set comes with a knitted design that gives it a bit more flair. The material is lightweight and stretchy, perfect for long plane rides, as well as other activities, from exploring museums to playing golf to visiting beach clubs. Choose from 13 different colors—just remember to go for a darker fabric if you’re prone to spills.
Short sleeves & shorts (2): Babiaboa Men’s Set
Similar to the Coofandy pick, this Babiaboa set has short sleeves and shorts for anyone who runs warmer or is heading into the tropics. The main difference is that it’s a bit sportier and comes with a breathable, waffle-knit fabric. You can choose from 15 colors and sizes up to 3XL.
Full jogger tracksuit: JMIER Essentials Hoodie Track Suit
If you prefer a casual, slightly oversized jogger suit instead, this JMIER pick comes with a hooded sweater. That makes it great for men who need to keep their heads warm on long flights. You can choose from ten colors, including two types of black fabric. As an added perk, JMIER also sells women’s track suits—in case there are any matchy-matchy couples reading this.
Sporty crew neck: JMIER Knit Pullover Track Suit
This JMIER tracksuit comes with a crew neck instead of a hoodie. It also has a unique knit design that makes it a bit more upscale, despite the fact that it has a sporty design and is made from 95% polyester. You can choose from 12 colors.
A trusted brand: HUGO Cotton Track Suit
Looking for a trusted brand-name track suit? HUGO makes great matching sets for men to wear on a plane, which are made from 100% cotton. (For that reason, sizes may run a bit small.) You can choose from 10 different colors, though you might need to wait for the company to restock on Amazon.
Fleece jogger set for added warmth: Royal Threads Canada Jogger Set
Though not quite as well-known as HUGO, Royal Threads Canada makes fantastic athleticwear—you might recognize the name from Kohl’s department stores. Given it’s a Canadian brand, you can expect this jogger suit to hold up in frigid temperatures, making it great for winter trips in addition to plane rides. If you run warm, you can easily take off the zip-up hoodie as needed.
Winter-ready Basic jogger set with designs: Y2K Retro Harajuku Set
Similar to the Royal Threads matching set, this jogger set from Japanese brand Sudiup is also made for cold weather. I like the slouchy design of the hoodie and jogger pants, but they might not be for everyone. The same for the unique print design. That being said, if you want a matching set that also doubles as a winter-ready outfit, go with this Y2K pick.
Hyper-trendy zip-up jacket with pants: G-Style USA Tiger Zip Up
These G-Style two-piece sets are audacious—and that might be putting it lightly. The sets come with a vibrant tiger design, along with bandana motifs. That being said, some of their sets have a more mellow, retro design that won’t scare away stylish men. As one rave review put it, think of them like a ‘dope 80s-style jumpsuit’.
