So, you’re taking a trip. Maybe you’re going somewhere special for a weekend anniversary celebration with your boo or maybe you’re taking a business trip to Boston. Either way, there’s a time and place for carry-ons! Packing in a carry-on bag requires prioritization (and some self-reflection) — what will you actually use on the trip?

You’ll definitely bring your swimsuits, sandals and chic new dresses, but when it comes to traveling, workout clothes tend to be omitted quickly…especially when you’re packing on a carry-on. But most hotels have gyms and most places have trails, so check those excuses off the list! The more common excuse for neglecting fitness goals while traveling is that there isn’t enough room for fitness clothes.

If you want to stay on top of your health and wellness goals while you jet about, we found 13 tanks, shorts and leggings that are lightweight, breathable and compact — perfect for stuffing in a carry-on luggage or duffel bag. You’ll be like the best version of yourself no matter where you are!
