Just like you can buy bags that are specialized for travel purposes, you can find clothing that was created for globetrotting.

In the realm of bags, you might look for things like anti-theft design features or cross-body bags that are lightweight and easy to pack. In the realm of clothes, you might be more focused on things like anti-sweat fabrics and plane-ready outfits.
But you can also dig a little deeper. Some clothing brands don’t just release travel-ready products seasonally—they’re fully focused on designing, producing, and manufacturing clothes that meet traveler needs. They work with specialized materials and innovate articles that won’t chafe, smell, or tear, whether you’re hiking through a food court or up to the Acropolis.
Enter Woolx, a company that specializes in clothing made from merino wool. Merino wool comes from Merino sheep (who would have guessed?), which are known for producing the world’s finest wool. It’s lightweight, breathable, wicks away moisture, resists odors, and works for both warm and cold-weather climates. Thanks to merino wool’s natural keratin, it’s scientifically proven to reduce smells and moisture absorption.
Usually, merino wool ends up in luxury apparel—but you can find high-quality clothes that don’t cost an arm and a leg with companies like Woolx.
No, this isn’t a sponsored post—I genuinely think travelers should invest in a portable wardrobe that will treat their bodies well, stand the test of time, and give them a little confidence boost when they need it most.
5 travel pieces from Woolx: menswear
Endurance Tee
Suitable for any season, this t-shirt comes in twelve colors and five sizes, up to 2XL. It’s the perfect go-to for travel because the merino wool is odor-destroying and quick-drying, meaning if you do need to wash it while on the road, you won’t be waiting long for it to dry. Lastly, the T-shirt has a classic crewneck and is wrinkle-resistant, making it an easy choice.
Essential Tee
The Essential Tee from Woolx is very similar to the Endurance Tee, above. The main difference is that the Essential Tee has long sleeves, making it ideal for cool-weather trips. Aside from that, it’s identical in terms of crew neck design, color choices, and Merino wool technology.
Endi Full Button Down Shirt
Because the long- and short-sleeve tee options above are made from Merino wool, they’re more upscale than your average tee. Still, if you want a more formal look in your suitcase, go with this button-up. The short-sleeve button-up has an accent pocket and design that makes it suitable for days about town, along with date nights later on. You can choose from four colors.
Men’s Rowan No Show Socks
If we’re talking about fabrics that can handle moisture, are breathable, and don’t retain odors easily, then we need to talk about socks. (And underwear, which I’ll get to below.) Socks are a surprisingly tricky element of any packing list, because they’re sure to get dirty and need a wash.
Should you bring extra to keep a fresh pair available the whole trip? Or plan to wash your socks at some point? With these Rowan No Show Socks, you can pack your socks trusting that they’ll deal with heat, sweat, and stinky smells better than any other option out there. Because they’re also blended with lycra and nylon, they’re also ready for more involved adventures, like hikes.
Reaction Boxer Briefs
There’s no delicate way to say this, but just about every traveler has dealt with an episode of Swamp Booty. (No description needed.) Now that heat waves are becoming more common, this is sure to be a growing topic of conversation. With the Reaction Boxer Briefs from Woolx, you’ve got a supportive boxer-brief design made from soft, moisture-wicking, and odor-destroying Merino wool. You can also choose between a fly or no fly.
Merino wool travel pieces from Woolx: 7 picks for ladies
Adrienne Dress
The Adrienne Dress gives you a flattering tank-top style top that’s both classic and sporty. The dress is made from breathable, ultra-soft fabric that makes it good for a range of climates. But the real star of the show is the built-in athletic shorts with pockets, letting you move freely and also store small items like keys and a phone. It’s a highly dynamic and comfortable dress – one that sold out within two days during its launch, if that paints a better picture.
Georgie Dress
This simple, classic all-season dress comes in eight sizes, from XSM to 3X. The short sleeves are an adorable addition—one that makes this dress appropriate to wear to churches and any other cover-up landmarks. The fit is also flowing, making it great for hot weather destinations. Just avoid black if you’re heading to the desert—you’ve got five other colors to choose from.
Clara Dress
The Clara Dress is similar to the Georgie Dress, except that it’s sleeveless. That gives you a little more airflow when you’re visiting warm climates. The non-clingy fabric is also moisture-wicking and resistant to odors, letting you feel fresh for longer. It also comes with pockets, which are a treat to enjoy any time, but come in handy when you’re traveling. You can shop the Clara Dress in six colors.
Maggie Bodysuit
Versatility is a key component to packing like a pro, and there are few pieces as mix-and-match ready as bodysuits. This sleeveless bodysuit comes in five colors and six sizes, from XSM to 1X. It has a higher collar that makes it a little more formal, letting you pair the bodysuit with casual day looks before switching them out for a more zhuzhed-up night look. The bodysuits come with a thong no-show bottom, too, for a seamless outfit.
Nicole Crop Pants
Woolx’s Nicole Crop Pants can be dressed up for a formal occasion or dressed down for a day of museum-hunting. You can choose from six sizes, between XSM and 1X, along with two colors. The cropped pants make them a stronger fit for cool or warm-weather destinations, as the lightweight Merino wool fabric makes it easy to regulate your temperature. It’s also naturally flattering thanks to the flat-front waistband and the unique ribbed back.
Livi Bra
There’s nothing worse than managing hot weather with a subpar bra. The Livi Bra is an all-season bra that comes in eight sizes and ten colors. You’re supported by an anchor band, along with sewn-in padding and double-cross back straps. As with other Merino wool products, this Woolx bra is fast-drying, making it easy to wash while on the go.
Maeve Bikini
Choose from three different fits, four colors, and six sizes to find your perfect travel panty. They have thongs, bikinis, and full coverage panties, letting you mix and match based on your travel needs. Having travel-ready panties is a great idea if you’re visiting warm-weather destinations where, once again, the ever-dreaded Swamp Booty lurks in wait. That being said, Merino wool is also versatile enough for any type of trip—whether you’re hiking into the mountains or going to see Santa Claus in Rovaniemi, Finland.
