If you're a frequent business traveler, are planning a destination wedding, or just need to get a formal ensemble from point A to point B, a garment bag is a must. Though disheveled clothes with huge creases are sometimes inevitable byproducts of packing a suitcase, this clever carrier will help prevent wrinkles wherever you go.

Ironing takes up valuable time — which you might not have to spare with a packed itinerary — and not all hotels have steamers. Whether you're transporting a three-piece suit, a floor-length gown, or just an outfit you need to put on as soon as you deboard the plane, a garment bag is the solution. When browsing options, think about the size and length you need, if you want it to fold up, and what storage features you might use.

To help you find the right one for your needs, we tried 22 garment bags in our testing lab. After packing them up, we evaluated each one for ease of use, capacity, performance, quality, and overall value, and we will continue to test them in the real world for another six months as well. 

Best Overall, Duffel

Mark & graham commuter 2-in-1 garment bag.

Mark & Graham

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Quality 5 /5
• Capacity 5 /5
• Performance 5 /5

It has lots of organizational features and folds up compactly enough to qualify as a carry-on.

After six months of use, we noticed the zippers are prone to snagging.

The best duffel-style option we tested is the Commuter 2-in-1 Garment Bag from Mark & Graham — a brand known for its product line made of high-quality materials and designed with superior organizational features. It unfolds to reveal a hanger for your garments, plus various pouches and pockets, including compartments for two pairs of shoes. We were impressed by how much fit inside — a men's suit, dress pants, a button-down shirt, two dresses, a belt, a pair of loafers, a pair of stiletto heels, a water bottle, and a smartphone. We appreciate the generous capacity and the fabric's durability as, even after six months of use, it still looks good as new.

This lightweight garment bag is a piece of cake to carry, even when it's full of clothes and shoes. The twill-washed nylon exterior seems sturdy and resistant to tearing. It passed our water-resistance test with flying colors, too, so you can bet it'll protect your clothing from moisture damage.

When folded up into the duffel configuration, the Commuter Garment Bag is nice and compact. It also easily fits within the carry-on size restrictions for most airlines and we think the high-quality design is worth the investment.

Best Overall, Wheeled

Travelpro platinum elite 50-inch check-in rolling garment bag.

This high-end, smooth-rolling bag fits 15 hung items, plus multiple pairs of shoes and various accessories.

You may want to invest in shoe bags when packing those inside this case as there’s no designated separate section. 

Our favorite wheeled option is the Travelpro Platinum Elite Rolling Garment Bag. This carrier effortlessly fit everything on our packing list and then some — two suits, dress pants, a button-down top, two dresses, a belt, a pair of loafers, dress shoes, stilettos, a laptop, a water bottle, and a lunch box. It fit roughly 15 items on the built-in hanger and secured them in place when we zipped everything up. There are also mesh compartments on the corners and various zippered pockets for stashing accessories and other small items, plus a TSA-approved lock if you plan on checking it.

The Platinum Elite Rolling Garment Bag was a breeze to roll around on carpet, hard floors, and concrete — and it's not too heavy to lift, even when packed full. Throughout our six-month test, we used this bag a handful of times including on a trip to London and we found that it's even easy to roll alongside larger, checked luggage. It also passed our durability assessments, showing no signs of wear and tear after using it on a trip and dragging a stiletto heel across the exterior. At nearly $400, this garment bag is more expensive than most but the high-quality design, spacious capacity, and organizational features still stand out.

The Details: 22 x 15.5 x 9.5 inches | 9.9 pounds | Ballistic nylon | Water-resistant

Best Waterproof

Seyfocnia convertible carry-on travel garment bag.

• Capacity 4.8 /5

It has a water-repellent exterior and a spacious capacity with a shoe compartment and various pockets.

The faux leather exterior isn't scratch-resistant, and there's no designated laptop sleeve.

A waterproof carrier will help ensure your nice clothes don't get wet or wrinkled en route. We like this one, which has a faux leather exterior with a special fiber coating that repels liquids. This duffel-style garment bag has a generous capacity and closes easily, even when packed full. Besides multiple formal ensembles, we fit a pair of heels, a laptop, a water bottle, and a toiletry bag. We like that there are lots of useful pockets and a shoe compartment, but a designated laptop sleeve would be nice.

This bag is lightweight but doesn't feel cheap at all, and it's comfy to carry, thanks to the padded straps. You can also slide it over your suitcase handle with the trolley strap. The faux leather did sustain a scratch when we dragged a stiletto heel across the surface, though the material didn't rip. Considering the reliable, protective design and organizational features, the price range is more than reasonable, even for occasional use.

The Details: 22 x 12.5 x 12 inches | 4.4 pounds | Fiber-coated faux leather | Waterproof

Best Attachable

Away the garment bag.

• Performance 4 /5

This sophisticated garment bag is the perfect medium size, but it's still large enough to fit a floor-length dress, a suit, and two pairs of shoes.

The zippers can snag a little, so be careful when opening and closing them.

Away's take on the garment bag is this sophisticated briefcase-inspired number. We appreciated the sleek, straightforward design and found it to be a perfect medium size for most trips. When unfolded, it's long enough to fit a floor-length dress or a suit — with room to spare for multiple pairs of shoes and a light jacket. Just a heads up, the zippers can snag a little on the enclosed fabrics, so be careful when opening and closing the bag.

All in all, it feels like a high-quality, durable product. After six months of use, we love that the nylon exterior provides plenty of protection from dust and debris as well as some water resistance. It is also spacious enough that it prevents wrinkles, even when storing items long term. With comfortable handles, a removable shoulder strap, and a trolley sleeve for slipping it over your suitcase handle, this versatile garment bag was made with plane travel in mind. You can bring it as a carry-on or a personal item, and it's definitely compact enough to fit underneath the seat in front of you. If you travel often for work or are looking to upgrade your current, cheaper garment bag, this one is definitely worth buying.

The Details: 22.5 x 20.5 x 3.5 inches | 2.3 pounds | Nylon | Water-resistant

Best for Multiple Garments

Wallybags garment bag.

• Quality 4.5 /5
• Performance 4.5 /5

This sizable bag can fit multiple long dresses, men's suits, overcoats, and costumes, and holds up to 30 pounds of weight.

A longer clamp would allow it to hold even more hangers.

Need something that can hold more than one thing? The WallyBags Deluxe Garment Bag is big enough for long dresses and gowns, suits, tuxedos, overcoats, dress shirts, costumes — you name it — and it can hold up to 30 pounds of weight. We were able to fit all items on our packing list (with room to spare) and secure everything together with the included hanger clamp. A longer clamp would allow you to fit additional hangers, but if you put multiple items on a single hanger, you can fit more inside.

The garment bag is made of polyester and features a water-resistant coating. It seems durable enough to withstand a journey by plane or car and didn't sustain any scratches during our stiletto test either, making this a solid value for the price point. 

The Details: 60 x 22 x 3 inches | 5 pounds | Polyester | Water-resistant

Best for Business

Zegur suit carry on garment bag.

It easily fits a suit, an overcoat, and two pairs of dress shoes, plus accessories, with room to spare.

The exterior material is somewhat rugged, reminiscent of a backpack or outdoor-friendly duffel.

If you go on frequent work trips and need a solution for transporting your suits and other business attire, we recommend the Zegur Suit Garment Bag. We could fit a suit jacket, dress pants, a button-down shirt, and two pairs of dress shoes inside with plenty of room to spare. There are also multiple pockets for stashing a belt, ties, cufflinks, and other accessories. After attaching your hung items, you can fold it up and carry it like a messenger bag or briefcase using the shoulder strap or grab handles, respectively.

Though it's designed like a briefcase, the material has a rugged quality, which is more reminiscent of a backpack or outdoor-friendly duffel. Still, the quality is very apparent — the zippers work great, and the exterior didn't scratch or scuff during our tests. This garment bag seems like it'll probably last forever, and the brand backs it with a five-year warranty. So the price is absolutely reasonable, if you ask us.

The Details: 23 x 22 x 4 inches | 2.9 pounds | 1800-D polyester | Waterproof

Most Durable

Degeler garment bag.

• Capacity 4.5 /5

This extremely resilient bag resists tearing and repels water while protecting the clothes inside, and the main compartment is easy to load up with hangers.

There's no designated shoe compartment, but the mesh pocket works for shoes.

Degeler's SkyHanger Garment Bag really stood out in terms of durability. The ripstop nylon exterior is lightweight yet extremely tough; it didn't tear or even scratch when we ran a stiletto heel across the surface. What's more, the water-resistant material didn't feel damp at all when we repeatedly sprayed it with water. This bag could probably get run over by a car without sustaining any damage — and any clothing inside would be protected too.

We like how the main compartment opens wide, making it easy to load with hangers. It effortlessly fits several items, and the upper button latch prevents the hangers from falling into the bag. While there's no designated shoe compartment, the interior mesh pocket works well for footwear. We also appreciate that this garment bag is compact enough to fit within a larger suitcase, or it can be used on its own as a carry-on or checked bag. Comfy leather handles are the final cherry on top.

The Details: 21 x 21 x 1 inches | 1.1 pounds | Ripstop nylon | Water-repellent

Best for Weddings

Samsonite garment bag.

• Ease of Use 4 /5
• Performance 4.8 /5

This well-made carrier fits multiple suits and gowns, then folds into a messenger bag for easy transport.

It can be hard to zip closed when packed full, and longer dresses might wrinkle on the bottom.

If you're heading to a wedding (or planning a destination wedding of your own), Samsonite's Just Right Garment Carrier might be your best bet. When unfolded, it's big enough to fit a suit or a gown and has handy loops for your hangers. We should note that, while you can use it for a floor-length dress, the bottom might wrinkle in transit, so think about whether you'll have access to an iron or steamer where you're headed. You could also fold your dress down at the waist to make it shorter in transit.

Though this bag is big enough to fit multiple items, bear in mind the zippers can be hard to close when it's packed full. Still, all the other pockets and exterior compartments were easily accessible and zipped closed without a fuss. Once full, it folds into thirds and becomes a messenger-style bag with a padded adjustable strap. There's also a trolley sleeve, so you can slide it over your suitcase handle. This certainly isn't the most affordable option we tried, but we can't deny the excellent quality and functionality.

The Details: 22 x 16 x 2.5 inches | 3.4 pounds | Nylon

Best Organization

London fog buckingham 44-inch wheeled garment bag.

• Quality 4 /5

This garment bag has a sizable main compartment and various pockets throughout for stashing accessories and carry-on essentials.

It doesn't have the highest capacity and may be best for weekend trips.

We also liked London Fog's Buckingham Garment Bag. The spacious design held three dresses, a pantsuit, a blazer, two shirts, a pair of shoes, a belt, a tie, a laptop, and a water bottle. Besides the main compartment, there are tons of pockets of various sizes both inside and out. In addition to clothes and accessories, you'll have plenty of room for things like books, snacks, or chargers. Needless to say, it makes a great carry-on.

This garment bag folds into itself and becomes a messenger bag but you may not want to tote it that way at 11 pounds when empty (heavier than most others we tried). But, although the shape is a bit bulky, the wheeled design is a breeze to roll around on carpets, hard floors, or the sidewalk. The Buckingham bag passed our durability test as well and shows no signs of wear and tear after six months of use. In the end, we think the features and overall quality reflect its price tag.

The Details: 23 x 22 x 4 inches | 11 pounds | Nylon

Most Spacious

Modoker convertible garment bag.

• Capacity 3 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

This roomy bag has space for multiple garments, plus various accessories, toiletries, a laptop, and more.

It has more capacity as a duffel bag than as a garment bag.

The Modoker Convertible Garment Bag stood out for its spacious design. It has a large main compartment where you can hang a suit, dress, or jacket. Then when you fold it up into a duffel, it has ample storage and pockets for accessories, toiletries, a laptop, a water bottle, snacks, and chargers. There's even a shoe compartment for stashing heels or dress shoes.

Though you can hang multiple items, we should note it has a bigger capacity as a duffel bag than as a garment bag. Still, the roomy design and organizational features make it an excellent carry-on option. Made of jacquard polyester with a water-resistant coating, this garment bag seems durable enough to withstand any mode of transport while protecting your belongings from damage at the same time.

The Details: 23 x 12 x 11 inches | 2.5 pounds | Jacquard polyester | Water-resistant

Most Compact

Calpak garment bag.

Small enough to be a personal item or slip into a wheeled carry-on, this compact carrier can fit multiple outfits, shoes, and accessories.

It's harder to close with bulky shoes in the shoe compartment, and it's too short for long dresses.

Need something smaller? Check out Calpak's Compakt Garment Bag. Despite the compact design, we were able to fit everything on our packing list, including a suit, dress pants, a shirt, a tie, a belt, and a pair of shoes. Though it's too short for longer gowns, you can also fit a couple of dresses. The shoe compartment was harder to close with larger men's shoes, but it worked well for women's flats. After six months of tests, this garment bag still looks brand new and has become a permanent staple of closets for long-term protection of seasonal items.

When packed with items of various shapes, the bag was still easy to fold up — and you can tighten the straps to make it more compact (and even fit it inside a larger suitcase). This garment bag is small enough to qualify as a carry-on or personal item on a plane, or you could check it instead. Toting it around is no problem, either, thanks to the comfy, sturdy handles. Not only that, but the ripstop nylon exterior appears to resist tearing and water, so you can rest assured the contents will be protected in transit. We also like that this carrier comes in both neutrals and bright, punchy colors.

The Details: 20 x 19 x 1 inches | 1.2 pounds | Ripstop nylon | Water-resistant

Best Budget

Misslo 43-inch gusseted travel garment bag.

• Quality 3.5 /5
• Capacity 4 /5

This no-nonsense garment bag fits multiple outfits and folds in half for easy carrying.

The cheap material isn't very durable, and it lacks organizational features.

On a budget? Go with the Misslo Gusseted Garment Bag. The straightforward design can be quickly packed up. We were able to fit two dresses, a shirt, pants, a suit jacket, and a belt, and the transparent window makes it easy to see what's inside. Beyond the main compartment and hanger slot, it doesn't have much in terms of organizational features. More pockets would be useful, but for under $15, we really can't complain.

It folds in half to be carried with the attached handles. Though the straps appear pretty sturdy, this bag is made of a non-woven fabric that may not stand the test of time. That said, if you need something for one trip and aren't too worried about durability, you won't be disappointed.

The Details: 43 x 22.5 x 3.5 inches | Non-woven fabric

Other Garment Bags We Liked

Halfday The Garment Duffel : This bag was easy enough to pack, though the hanger loop doesn't fit as many hangers as others we tried. Still, we liked the structured design of the duffel and found it comfortable to carry using the handles and shoulder strap.

Away The Centerfold Garment Sleeve : Available in three sizes, this garment bag is lightweight without sacrificing durability. We wish it had more pockets and organizational features but were all-around impressed with the design.

Travel Select Amsterdam Business Rolling Garment Bag : This garment bag has a huge capacity, with space for several hung items and multiple pairs of shoes. However, the upper hook only has room for four hangers, so you might need to put multiple pieces on a single hanger.

The Travel + Leisure team researched today's best garment bags and selected 22 to try firsthand in our testing lab and in real-life settings over a six-month period. After inspecting each bag and examining the features, we packed them with various clothing items (suits, dresses, coats, etc.), plus shoes and accessories if there was room.

Once closed, we carried them around, lifted them overhead, and rolled the ones with wheels. We also assessed whether they worked best as carry-ons, personal items, or checked baggage. Additionally, we ran a stiletto heel over the exteriors to check for scratch and puncture resistance, then sprayed the bags with water to see if they repelled moisture. Each garment bag earned a score for ease of use, capacity, quality, performance, and value, and those with the highest scores made it onto our list.

Tips for Buying Garment Bags

Pay attention to length.

When buying a garment bag, pay attention to the unfolded length. This will tell you what types of items you can hang inside, like suits, dresses, and coats. Some are too short for longer dresses, in which case you can try folding the dress at the waist. Otherwise, have a plan to iron or steam items upon arrival.

Think about foldability

Many garment bags are meant to fold up and be carried around as a duffel or messenger-style bag. Keep this in mind, as folding can crease the items inside. Folding will also double or triple the thickness of the bag, which might make it harder to zip when packed with several articles of clothing.

Consider storage features

In addition to a main compartment with a hook for hangers, garment bags often have other storage features. This might include zippered pockets, a designated shoe compartment, a mesh pouch, a laptop sleeve, or a water bottle holder. These aren't absolutely necessary, but they can certainly come in handy if you use your garment bag as a carry-on.

Look for easy-carrying options

Lastly, look for a garment bag that's easy to get from point A to point B. For instance, some fold up into a duffel or messenger bag with grab handles or a detachable shoulder strap. Others have trolley sleeves meant to slide over a suitcase handle to consolidate your luggage. And some garment carriers are wheeled, so you can roll them around with minimal elbow grease.

Place your clothing items on hangers, then attach them to the upper hook or loop. Some garment bags are spacious but can't fit as many hangers, in which case you might want to put multiple items on one hanger. For extra protection from potential damage, cover each piece with a dry-cleaning bag. If there's a shoe compartment or other pockets, fill those after hanging your garments in the main compartment.

Bifold garment bags fold in half, and trifold garment bags fold into thirds. Aside from the number of potential creases in your clothes, there isn't much difference between the two. What matters more is the size and shape of the folded bag and whether it has straps, handles, or other features for carrying it around.

In most cases, a garment bag can count as a carry-on . The size limit is usually roughly 22 x 14 x 9 inches — if it's small enough, it can even qualify as a personal item. Some airlines allow you to hang your garment bag when you board in a designated closet located in the front of the plane. That said, all airlines are different, so be sure to check the specific rules and requirements ahead of time.

Garment bags are designed to keep your clothing crease-free and perfectly organized every time you travel.

Whether you’re going away on business, traveling somewhere fancy, or like to always go out in style, invest in one of these useful bags to keep your clothes fresh and wrinkle-free every time.

If you want your clothing to be ship-shape and ready to wear when you reach your destination, the very best way is to invest in a dedicated garment carrier.

A perfect garment bag will bridge the gap between a suitcase and a suit protector by offering useful pockets, compartments, and storage spaces that are designed to hold every bit of clothing safely and securely while you’re in transit.

Garment bags offer many benefits over and above a regular duffel bag or suitcase. With a garment bag, you can:

• Hang your garments upright. Keep your clothes crease-free by hanging them in the car, on the bus, on the train, and in the hotel when you get there. The only place you can’t hang them up is on the plane. But, there’s a solution for that, too — merely lie them flat to keep your clothes wrinkle-free and ready to go.
• Choose from a variety of transport options. You can have a rolling garment bag, a shoulder garment bag, or a garment duffel bag, depending on your needs and carrying preference when in transit. There are lots of different garment bags to choose from. There’s no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to carrying your clothing, as every traveler will have different-sized clothing to accommodate.
• Fit in the overhead . Most garment bags are designed to be used as carry-on luggage and will meet airline regulations when rolled or folded. No checked luggage means faster boarding and no luggage carousels.

Before you rush out a buy a garment bag to keep your gear safe in transit, consider the following:

Size and Capacity

Deciding whether you want to check your garment bag or not will dictate the size of the bag that works best for you. For carry-on bags , the maximum measurements will usually be around 22 x 14 x 9 inches — so be sure to consider that before you buy.

When it comes to capacity, some bags will offer lots of room for added extras like shoes, wash bags, and casual clothing, while others will be designed to keep your suit crease-free and ready for the boardroom.

You may also want to consider the length of the carrier. If you’re packing a ball gown, wedding dress, or another type of fancy outfit, you’ll want to look for one that can fit full-length items without squishing them.

Compartments and Organization

While your clothes will be kept neatly arranged and hanging nicely, you should also consider what extra storage spaces you’ll need to carry all your belongings.

From basic suit covers, right through to collapsible wardrobe bags, there will be the right type of interior organization for you.

Dedicated spaces for shoes, ties, and underwear, for example, are useful for business travelers, while zippered compartments for smaller items, wet compartments for toiletries, and even external compartments that take the place of your handbag can be useful depending on your individual needs and preferences.

Material and Durability

As with any luggage, you want a garment bag that will be lightweight enough to carry with you, yet strong enough to not rip or tear at the first sign of travel fatigue. These bags are also designed to fold, so the fabric will need to be flexible, yet strong enough to keep your clothing secure.

Most garment bags are made from the same type of tough nylon or synthetic material that laptop bags and travel duffels are made from, which may even offer some protection against wet weather. Be sure you know exactly what your garment bag can and can’t do before you buy it.

Wheels vs. No Wheels

Wheeled garment bags are easy to pull behind you through the never-ending maze of an airport concourse and are perfect for urban adventures and public transport. They’re not, however, quite so effective on rough terrain, unpaved roads, beaches, or open countryside.

Garment bags without wheels will need to be carried with a hand or shoulder strap, which can be tiresome over long distances. They are, however, usually a little lighter and easier to place in the overhead cabin.

Wheels or no wheels? It’s really up to you as there are pros and cons to both.

Simply put, there are 3 main types of garment bags to choose from. They include:

• Bi-Fold Bags — This type of garment bag folds in the middle for compact carrying. When they fold up, the bottom will zip, tie, or attach to the top so it can be carried or hung as 1 piece. These types of garment carriers are the most commonly available and come in a variety of designs and materials to suit all budgets.
• Tri-Fold Bags — Tri-fold bags are incredibly lightweight and so compact that they can be attached to the pullout handle of your suitcase. Typically small, this type of garment bag only holds enough to last you for a day or so, but they can be folded for transit and immediately hung up when you reach your destination.
• Rolling Garment Bags — The clue is in the name with these types of bags, as not only do they fold, they also roll! With wheels and a handle, these bags are bigger and heavier than their bi- or tri-fold counterparts but can carry more for longer trips.

Handles and Zippers

Whether you need a long handle to pull your bag behind you, oversized straps for carrying over your shoulder, or a grab handle for quick pick-ups; quality is key.

Sturdy metal handles, leather, or nylon straps, and durable designs are all vital to ensuring your handle stays intact as long as the bag is in use.

The same rules apply to zippers. You need high-quality zippers (and locks) that will keep your garments secure. Small zippers can break easily, so choose a garment bag with big, durable zippers and zipper pulls to keep your belongings safely tucked away.

Your garment bag has been designed to keep your clothing crease-free and perfectly organized in transit. If you aren’t going to pack it correctly, you may as well throw all your gear in a backpack and be done with it.

Follow these top tips for perfect packing, every time:

Pack It Flat

Lay your garment bag out on a flat surface before you start to fill it. You could use your bed, your floor, or even your kitchen table — where you pack it isn’t important, but how you pack it is.

Work in Reverse

To ensure that your clothing is ready to wear the minute you reach your destination, pack it in the opposite order of how you would dress. For example, if you put your jacket on last, it should be the very first thing you pack. On top of your jacket, you’d pack your shirt, your pants, and so on.

Pack Facing the Back

Creases can happen, and to avoid them wrecking the look of your outfit, pack your clothing facing the back so that any creases only occur on the back of your clothing.

Follow the 1 to 6 Rule

This little rule is useful, and one used by professional packers all over the world. Pack the essentials in the following quantity: 1 hat, 2 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of pants, 4 shirts, 5 pairs of socks, and 6 pairs of underwear. Scale this up or down to suit the length of your trip.

Tie it Down

If your garment bag has compression straps, use them to keep your clothing in place and laying flat while you travel. Don’t tighten these too much as this might create the creases you’re trying to avoid.

Pack Your Pockets Last

Those handy little pockets that are designed to hold ties, shoes, toiletries, and other accessories should be packed last after you have folded or rolled your garments.

The 7 Best Non-wheeled Carry-on Travel Garment Bags

Modoker Carry-On Garment Bag

Weight: 2.5 pounds

Dimensions: 22.8 x 11 x 11.8 inches

This 2-in-1 garment carrier and duffel bag is an excellent option for a weekend away where you need to look your very best. With the ability to fold and be carried like a regular shoulder bag, as well as hang upright to keep your clothes crease-free, it offers a lot of bag for your money.

With a 45-liter capacity, there’s plenty of room on the inside for all of your clothing . The left side pocket is big enough to house your shoes separately from your more delicate items, while the right side pocket is perfect for your keys, wallet , and other small items.

Just the right size to use as a carry-on, you won’t need to worry about taking extra luggage with you. The smaller pocket can be used to keep your passport and boarding pass close at hand, and when folded, the bag will fit in the overhead locker or underneath your seat.

Made from high-quality polyester and jacquard, this bag is scratch-resistant and robust enough to withstand splashes of water and light rain.

With a detachable shoulder strap, this bag is easy to carry from 1 destination to another, and just as easy to hang when you get there.

What We Like

• Separate shoe compartment to keep them away from clean clothes

What We Don’t Like

• Carrying handle is not the most comfortable

Briggs & Riley, Black, 22-Inch Garment Duffel Bag

Weight: 4.09 pounds

Dimensions: 9 x 22 x 12.5 inches

With a thoughtful design, this premium garment bag from Briggs & Riley converts into a duffel and has so much to offer for the seasoned traveler. Packed full of useful compartments and made from high-quality materials, this bag was designed to deliver comfort, practicality, and style.

Do garment bags prevent wrinkles?

No garment bag can ever guarantee that your clothes will be completely wrinkle-free. However, they will do a better job of preventing wrinkles than regular carry-on luggage will due to their dimensions and the way they fold.

Our favorite is the Modoker Carry-On Garment Bag. This 2-in-1 garment carrier and duffel bag is an excellent option for a weekend away where you need to look your very best. With the ability to fold and be carried like a regular shoulder bag, as well as hang upright to keep your clothes crease-free, it offers a lot of bag for your money.

Are garment bags allowed as carry-ons?

Most airlines allow passengers to bring 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item onboard, but all have different size restrictions. Check with your airline to ensure your garment bag adheres to these requirements before travel.

Garment bags can take many forms, from shoulder-strapped to rolling to flat inserts — but regardless of the style, there's a few different reasons you might opt for a garment bag instead of a suitcase. They're ideal for keeping suits well-pressed and wrinkle-free in transit, and great for business trips where you might not need (or want) a full suitcase just for a couple days. And with all of the drama that comes with checked luggage getting lost, you might want one for special occasion dresses — like a wedding dress, a bridesmaid dress or a special uniform — so you can keep them near you instead of checking them.

If you're checking a larger bag, a garment bag that fits inside of your suitcase instead of a carry-on is an option if you already have something you'd like to bring on the plane. The Centerfold Garment Sleeve from Away is designed to fit into their Bigger Carry-On, but it would be a great addition to any suitcase. It clips inside of luggage and has tiered loops to accommodate multiple hangers . It can also be carried if you prefer to not fold it up. When you reach your destination, unzip the bottom to allow your garment to fully hang instead of staying bunched up at the base. There's only two zippered pockets for accessories or other small items. The nylon is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof.

About the size of a briefcase, this compact garment bag has a strap across the back of the bag that you can slide over your suitcase handle so there's less for you to hold as you make your way around the airport. If you do choose to carry it, there's an adjustable shoulder strap as well. There's a front organizing pocket for easy access to smaller electronics like a phone and a tablet, making it a convenient carry-on bag . Unfolded, this water-resistant bag hangs at 47 inches, so it's too short for full-length dresses, but it's a great size for jackets, short dresses and dress shirts. The panel that flips out is also full of pockets for stashing jewelry, accessories, shoes and ties.

Long or voluminous formal dresses can be a real pain to travel with because they're so big and cumbersome. Not to mention, if you're traveling to an important event with a wedding or bridesmaid dress, you do not want to keep it in checked luggage, lest you be stuck in an airport — sans dress — at the customer service counter trying to track down your suitcase. For full-length dresses, you need a long garment bag to fit the entire garment without it bunching up and wrinkling at the bottom of the bag. This 72-inch-long garment bag has a 10-inch gusset so it can expand to accommodate styles with a particularly puffy lower half (like dresses designed with layers of tulle, crinoline or a train). Available in five different colors and patterns, the water-resistant polyethylene material will protect clothing from damage. Keep in mind that it is a pretty bare-bones garment bag, so there are no extra pockets or other bells and whistles like the other bags on our list.

Calpak finds a nice balance between functionality and fashion with unique styles that are well-made with plenty of features. The Compakt Large Garment Bag can either be carried on its own or it can be placed inside luggage and unpacked upon arrival. Made of water-resistant ripstop nylon, it's 48 inches long when unfolded, so it's a great size for short dresses , and there are seven pockets that fit two pairs of shoes and other accessories. Long dresses will hang out the bottom of the bag, but once the bag is folded up it will cover the hem. The Calpak garment bag comes six fashionable colors and prints that are mostly the same across their product line, so you can coordinate your luggage and bags to match, too.

Hartmann is definitely on the expensive side, but their classic nylon tweed fabric never goes out of style, plus it's treated to be water- and stain-resistant. But what's really great is the Tweed Legend Voyager Spinner has four spinning wheels so you get the ease of a spinner suitcase with the function of a garment bag to make whizzing through the airport terminal a breeze. There are plenty of compartments to keep organized, along with two triangle-shaped pockets to utilize the space by the shoulders of the garments. Hartmann is a top performer in our tests and it even landed as "best for frequent fliers" in our best luggage brands of 2023 . While we haven't tested this specific garment bag, we love their spacious interiors that are easy to pack and wheels that are smooth and comfortable to maneuver.

If you're looking for a no-frills, grab-and-go garment bag, this water-resistant Amazon Basics one is a great option. It comes with a shoulder strap for comfortable carrying and multiple pockets for shoes, undergarments and other items . There's also a front pocket for additional storage and a strap along the back for hooking on your luggage handle. In our testing, we've found the luggage from Amazon Basics to be easy to pack. While it might not be the best quality out there, you can't beat their price.

Briggs & Riley 22" Carry-On 2-Wheel Garment Bag

Most wheeled garment bags unfold from the top or bottom, so you end up with luggage that's wider than it is tall, which can get weird when trying to shove in an overhead bin (especially for airlines that are strangely particular about how you put bags up there). Briggs & Riley's 22" Carry-On 2-Wheel Garment Bag folds out from the side, so it's shaped like a regular suitcase — taller than it is wide . There are two sections, one for flat packing and one for hanging garments, with lots of little pockets in the unused space to make maximum use of the bag. While Briggs & Riley bags are pricey, they come with a lifetime guarantee that will cover all repairs if the luggage is broken or damaged. They have authorized repair centers to fix luggage, will repair or replace with the closest matching part and they even have DIY repair kits if you're feeling a little handy.

When you think "garment bag," the first thing that comes to mind probably isn't a compression cube, but this one from Eagle Creek is designed to compress your clothes to take up less space while keeping them looking sharp. The water-resistant polyester case comes with a folding board with printed instructions on how to fold dress shirts and slacks to fit into the bag and how to use it to reduce wrinkles . If you're using a duffle bag or a backpack, packing cubes keep all of your times organized, and with this one, now you can take your fancy threads in the duffle, too.

How we chose the best garment bags

To get a sense of what makes a good garment bag, our Textiles Lab pros weighed in using their years of expertise in their field. We combed through online reviews of the most popular garment bags on the market, considering material, size, extra features, durability and ease of use to determine top picks. This list includes our experts' top-tested picks, as well as popular products with rave reviews from brands we trust.

Are garment bags worth it?

Garment bags help keep your clothing pressed and wrinkle-free while traveling, so you can just take out and hang clothing once upon arrival. They're ideal for clothing you don't want to fold or roll into a suitcase, like a suit, dress shirts, dresses and skirts. Some are designed to be folded compactly and placed inside a suitcase, while others can be carried as luggage. Most bags will fold in half or thirds, but they are made with padded interior straps to keep clothes from shifting around in transit and prevent creases. Just be sure to lay garments completely flat before folding into a bag to help reduce wrinkles.

Garment bags can make a great carry-on when flying. However, it's important to note the garment bag's dimensions to ensure that it complies with the airline's listed size restrictions. If you're taking a short trip and you'll be bringing nice clothing, you can use a garment bag as a carry-on along with a small duffle as your personal item to save you the trouble of having to check a bag. Plus, anyone who's felt the pain of an airline losing a suitcase knows that when it comes to important items that can't be replaced— special clothing like a uniform, bridesmaid dress or wedding dress, for example — you might just want to go with a garment bag and carry that clothing with you at all times.

What to look for when shopping for garment bags

✔️ Size and shape: Garment bags are available in different lengths, so it's important to consider the linear dimension to ensure the garment bag is long enough to accommodate your clothing. Otherwise, if the garment bag's length is on the short side, the bottom of your garments may have to be folded or bunched at the base of the bag, which will increase the chance of wrinkling. Longer garment bags are great to hold formal dresses, jumpsuits or a full suit. For shorter clothing like tops, jackets and mini dresses, a smaller bag should work just fine.

✔️ Materials: Just like any travel bag, you want a style made of durable materials. If fabric denier is listed in the product description, the higher the denier, the thicker and stronger the fabric is. Nylon is known to be durable and water resistant while polyester is more affordable. Leather is a luxury pick that should last long term, but make sure to follow the care closely. Opt for water-resistant finishes too, especially when traveling with your favorite clothing items.

✔️ Features: To make the garment bag more comfortable to carry around, choose features like a padded shoulder strap, easy access handles and accessible front pockets to hold necessities. If you're considering taking a garment bag instead of a suitcase, make sure it has large enough pockets to hold any other items that you're packing (like shoes, accessories and undergarments).

The Best Garment Bags for Travel, Tested and Reviewed

By Meaghan Kenny

Some trips, like business travel or destination weddings , require a more thoughtful packing strategy—and this is where the best garment bags come into play. You can't just toss an evening gown, bridesmaid dress , or suit in your carry-on and expect it to remain wrinkle-free. Plus you don't always have the space to pack a portable steamer —or the time to steam!—and not all hotels have an iron when you need one. Wrinkles aside, when packing speciality clothing items, you also want to limit the possibility of any liquids spilling in your suitcase and onto your clothes. A protective, high-quality garment bag you can trust to keep dresses and suits as stain- and crease-free as possible is a must-have for travelers headed to formal events.

There are plenty of options on the market, so to help narrow down a list of only the top-recommended garment bags, we asked our editors and frequent travelers for their personal picks. Whether you're headed to your best friend's beach wedding or prepping for your own honeymoon , these are the tried-and-true garment bags that will keep your favorite pieces of clothing wrinkle-free and in tip-top shape.

This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

Samsonite Just Right garment carrier

Most functional bag

This is my personal favorite garment bag for vacations. When zipped and folded up like a briefcase, it looks pretty slim and feels lightweight. But don't be fooled—this thing is supremely functional. I can fit three formal dresses inside (a few more if they're lightweight summer dresses ) and all of my accessories for the trip. What I love most about this nylon bag from Samsonite is how many thoughtful pockets it has. Inside, you'll find a few small zippered pockets for jewelry and hair accessories, two spacious shoe compartments for a pair of sandals or heels , and a hook to keep clothing items secure. The outside looks so sleek and features a zippered exterior pocket, top handle, and a long, adjustable shoulder strap so it can be easily carried. I love how it keeps everything for formal occasions organized and all in one place. This would be an ideal option to put your formalwear in for a cruise, too.

Dimensions : 16" x 2.3" x 22"  Weight: 3.4 lbs.

Calpak Compakt large garment bag

Best for destination weddings

Several Condé Nast Traveler editors are big fans of Calpak luggage , and the brand's large garment bag's thoughtful features illustrate why: It's made of water-resistant nylon and is collapsible thanks to a tri-fold design, making it easy to pack right in your suitcase. Take it from a former bride herself— Traveler contributor Erika Owen used Calpak's large garment bag for her destination wedding in Iceland and swears by it. She says of the bag: “The pockets were so handy and allowed me to keep all of my tiny wedding essentials (hair pins, deodorant, jewelry) safe.” When you open up the garment bag, you'll find four mesh, zippered pockets for small essentials and two roomy pockets for shoes. There's also adjustable closure straps, an exterior pocket, and a top handle that makes it easy to hang on a closet or bathroom door. This one's perfect to keep everything you need for the big day all in one place and separate from the rest of what you packed.

Halfday The Garment Duffel

Best weekender bag

In theory, I love the idea of being someone who packs light, of exuding a vibe of low-maintenance ease. Plus, there's so much cool gear out there that speaks to that energy, like this hybrid garment-bag-duffel-bag by Halfday. It's a garment bag that removes the stress of folding clothes like suits and dresses, but offers the added functionality of transforming into a weekender and carrying all your other must-haves like a Dopp kit with all your skincare and, I guess, underwear. So I took the Halfday for a test drive on a weekend in the Bahamas, and I can confidently say that, though your mileage may vary, it's perfect for short trips. I was able to pack two suits, some shirts, a pair of jeans, and some, but not all, of my essentials; I still had to bring a carry-on suitcase onto the plane. (I also brought three pairs of shoes. I am not, it should be said, someone who packs light.) So if you don't need six outfit options for a two-night trip, this is a perfect fit for you on its own. As for me, give me a shout when they invent garment bags that turn into a trunk. — Matt Ortile , associate editor

Monos Garment Sleeve

Best to fit in a carry-on

Another favorite of mine comes from Monos, one of our editors' go-to brands for chic and durable luggage . I turn to this slim, lightweight garment sleeve when I'm limited on packing space in my suitcase but still want to keep a special dress or two protected. It holds three pieces of clothing and can be folded down into the shape of a briefcase to fit neatly in a carry-on. (I've put it inside my Monos carry-on and still had room to put more clothes on top.) This one feels well-made and does a great job of preventing creases and wrinkles while in transit. I'd recommend this option for business travelers, wedding guests, or anyone short on space. I like the Check-In option for a little more room, but it's available in a Carry-On version , too.

Dimensions : 22.8" × 44.1" × 1.2" Weight: 1.85 lbs.

Away The Garment Bag

Best to attach to your suitcase

When we asked travel experts to share their favorite garment bag, the response we heard most often was Away's The Garment Bag. Lexie Alford , the youngest recorded person to travel to every country , has definitely picked up plenty of packing tips on her travels. She likes this garment bag from Away specifically because of how it can be easily strapped to her carry-on luggage . “Checking garment bags can be a pain at the airport, especially if you have expensive pieces,” she says. “It's great for peace of mind to keep them with you during long travel days.”

Fashion writer and Traveler contributor Samantha Crompton Merinder was a bride herself last year and also recommends this one. She says it fits three full-length dresses and that the exterior pockets kept her jewelry and accessories organized during transit. “It makes getting dressed virtually stress-free because your look is in one place upon arrival,” she says. Away's sleek garment bag is made of water-resistant material and features a convenient trolley sleeve.

Dimensions : 22.5" x 3.35" x 20.5" Weight: 2.25 lbs. (without shoulder strap) | 2.7 lbs. (with shoulder strap)

Modoker convertible garment bag with shoulder strap

Best Amazon find

A duffel bag and garment bag all in one, this convertible bag from Amazon can be used for all sorts of trips. When you're not using it as a classic garment bag to keep dresses and suits wrinkle-free, it doubles as a regular, tear-resistant weekender bag with a side compartment to store shoes and adjustable shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry. LNA Clothing co-founder Lauren Alexander loves this one for special occasions. “This convertible garment bag can fit so much stuff and is super affordable,” she says. “I have yet to find a name brand that makes one as good as this.” This waterproof duffel has plenty of smart features, like a trolley sleeve, detachable shoulder strap, handle buckle, and several small pockets for jewelry or other accessories.

Dimensions : 37.5" x 20.8" x 45" Weight: 2.5 lbs.

Travelpro Platinum Elite carry-on rolling garment bag

Best rolling garment bag

It looks like a small carry-on, but it's actually a garment bag on wheels. Lara Kramer , Traveler's former global associate director of audience development, used this rolling garment carry-on for her honeymoon in Italy, Croatia, and Montenegro a few summers ago. While smaller than an average carry-on, Kramer told us it holds way more than you think. “I was able to pack a few nice dresses and my husband fit an entire suit, all of which remained wrinkle-free, which was a game changer,” she says. Kramer also loves that when you purchase this bag, it comes with a plan that covers the cost of repairs or damage from airlines for up to one year, including shipping costs. “Yes, this bag glides seamlessly through airports and is incredibly durable thanks to its nylon fabric with Duraguard coating, but the lay-flat garment bag design is the real gem of this carry-on," says Kramer.

Dimensions : 14" x 22" x 9.5" Weight: 9.9 lbs.

OOO Traveling garment bag

Best lightweight bag

Made of polyester, the OOO Traveling garment bag is super lightweight at just 0.8 ounces and has a full-length center zip closure that keeps your nicer items in pristine condition. Alison Bruhn , stylist and co-founder of The Style That Binds Us , likes that the garment bag can be folded inside a suitcase or folded in three sections and slipped over the retractable handle of your luggage. We also love the under-$70 price tag of this light-as-air bag.

Dimensions : 19" x 37.5" Weight: 0.8 oz.

Tumi garment cover

Best durable cover

If you're looking for a simple, no-frills garment bag that will last for years to come, look no further than Tumi's garment cover. This one checks all the boxes—it features a top carry handle, has a sturdy zip closure, and is long enough to fit a formal gown or men’s suit. Plus, this nylon garment cover is durable enough to reuse again and again. At just over one pound, this garment cover is lightweight and folds flat for easy packing.

Dimensions: 18" x 12.5" x 1" Weight: 1.1 lbs.

Best Overall: ZEGUR Suit Carry On Garment Bag

Folded dimensions: 23 x 22 x 4 inches | Weight: 2.86 pounds

What sets it apart: Available on Amazon for less than $70, the ZEGUR Suit Carry On Bag is a well-constructed garment bag at an approachable price. Offered in black and gray, this garment bag features a semirigid structure piping that allows it to secure clothing in place and prevent wrinkled garments, yet it folds in half for easy transport. The bag also offers inner pockets and an exterior zippered pocket that contains various compartments of its own, perfect for accessories like belts, socks and cuff links. Other convenient features include an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap and a trolley sleeve for securing the garment bag to other luggage.

Travelers appreciate: Reviewers consistently rave about this bag's durable design at an affordable price, noting it fits well in the overhead bin on planes.

Price: $64.75 or less

Best Duffel: Halfday The Garment Duffel – Original

Folded dimensions: 12 x 22 x 12 inches | Weight: 2.3 pounds

What sets it apart: The Garment Duffel by Halfday is increasingly popular for its two-in-one design – so much so that it now comes in a variety of colors and patterns as well as two different sizes: Original and Compact.

The Original size holds suits and dresses plus a few days' worth of clothing, while the Compact bag is slightly smaller and ideal for dresses and shirts. Both bags feature an interior pocket (big enough for one pair of dress shoes), a water-resistant exterior with a pocket for small accessories, and a trolley sleeve.

Travelers appreciate: We recently tested The Garment Duffel and love the overall design and quality. When packing this bag, we highly recommend using packing cubes to maximize storage space and keep additional items organized. This will also make it easier for you to fish out any in-flight essentials (think: an e-reader and headphones) if you don't plan to bring a personal item (such as a backpack ) for those needs.

Price: $98 or less

Tips on Trips and Expert Picks

Travel tips, vacation ideas and more to make your next vacation stellar.

Best Rolling: Briggs and Riley Baseline 22" Carry-On 2-Wheel Garment Bag

Courtesy of Briggs & Riley

Folded dimensions: 22 x 14 x 9 inches | Weight: 9.92 pounds

What sets it apart: Launched in 2022, the newest version of the Briggs & Riley Baseline Carry-On 2-Wheel Garment Bag makes several improvements to the already well-rated luggage, including a beige lining, upgraded shock-absorbing wheels and an overall stronger build. Buyers have the option to monogram the garment bag as well.

The best part about this bag, however, is that it's a rolling carry-on suitcase and a garment bag in one, with separate compartments for a couple of suits, everyday clothing and accessories. These features include the brand's signature PowerPocket for charging your phone on the go as well as an exterior pocket, which offers quick access to security essentials such as your passport wallet and features an orange lining so you see if it is open.

Travelers appreciate: Recent reviewers say this investment piece is surprisingly spacious given its size, and that it has held up well for everything from business travel to international trips.

Price: $659 or less

Best Heavy-Duty: WallyBags 60" Deluxe Travel Garment Bag

Folded dimensions: 30 x 22 x 3 | Weight: 1.9 pounds

Travelers agree the WallyBags 60" Deluxe Travel Garment Bag is a lightweight yet sturdy choice for all forms of travel, noting it's strong enough to fit a wedding dress, tuxedo and shoes for destination weddings . The water-repellent bag is available in five colors and also offers durable handles that can be fastened to each other for easy carrying or attaching to other luggage.

Travelers appreciate: Owners of this bag like that it is lockable and folds easily once a dress or suit is placed inside – though some note a shoulder strap would be a helpful addition to this thoughtfully designed bag.

Price: $59.99 or less

Frequently Asked Questions

A garment bag is designed to prevent formalwear from getting wrinkled in transit. While you'll sometimes receive a complimentary garment bag with the purchase of a suit or gown, it'll typically be one made of thin material that can rip and fall apart very easily.

• You regularly travel for business.
• You'd like to  pack dressy items for formal nights on a cruise , where clothing irons are prohibited.
• You're attending or hosting a destination wedding.

Yes, most major airlines consider a garment bag to be carry-on luggage as long as it complies with carry-on size restrictions and can fit in the overhead bin.

The best garment bags can accommodate a couple of suits or several outfits. Many garment bags, such as The Garment Duffel by Halfday , feature additional storage space as well. Depending on the length of your trip, a garment bag may be the only luggage you need.

Why Trust U.S. News Travel

Amanda Norcross first discovered the importance of traveling with a quality garment bag after using a clunky old one she borrowed from her mom's closet. For her sister's all-inclusive resort wedding in Jamaica, she upgraded to a carry-on garment duffel bag to ensure her matron of honor dress remained wrinkle-free (and wow, what a difference). Along with these firsthand experiences, she consulted consumer ratings and reviews for dozens of garment bags to choose the best of the best for travel.

9 Best Garment Bags For Suits For A Wrinkle-Free 2024

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. Any products or services put forward appear in no particular order. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.

If you’re on a road trip, getting your suits from point A to B unscathed is as easy as hanging them from the oh-shit handle. Air travel, though? Not so simple. Unless you happen to stumble across a carefully curated list of the 8 best garment bags for suits, that is.

And we’re stumbling…

It’s true. You need a good garment bag to keep those pristine suits and dress shirts of yours wrinkle-free and ready to pop on at a moment’s notice. For weddings. For client meetings. For your big presentation to that group about the thing. Good news: Your travel cup runneth over with budget bags, luxury bags, rolling bags, you name it—your new garment bags await.

They hate waiting though, so you should probably hurry up and get in there.

Key Takeaways 

My search for the best garment bags for suits involved giving particular attention to thoughtful details, durable construction, and the ability to keep your suits looking as good on the other side as they did when you packed them.

The Modoker Carry-On Garment Duffel stands out as the top choice, exemplifying a perfect blend of style and utility. Following closely is the Amazon Basics Tri-Fold Garment Bag , which offers great value for those on a budget.

• What to look for
• Final Verdict

Best Overall: Modoker Carry-On Garment Duffel 

The top pick for the best garment bag for suits is undoubtedly the Modoker Carry-On Garment Duffel. Like its pricier, higher-quality Shinola counterpart, this bag is part duffel bag, part garment bag that folds nicely together into a compact carry-on that fits perfectly in an overhead bin.

Made of a water- and scratch-resistant material, the bag features an attachment for rolling luggage and includes a shoe pouch in addition to plenty of space for toiletries and a few changes of clothes. It’s all you need for a quick weekend away, regardless of the occasion.

Material: Polyester, Jacquard | Colors : 8 | Size : 11.8”H x 11”W x 22.8”L | Capacity : Up to 2 suits | Waterproof : Yes

Best Luxury: Bennett Winch S.C. Holdall 

For the sophisticated traveler, the S.C. Holdall from Bennett Winch offers functionality without sacrificing timeless style; something that’s worth the investment to carry you through endless trips away frome home. This unique two-piece design transforms from a chic holdall into an efficient suit carrier, ensuring your suits remain crease-free from country hotels to corporate boardrooms.

Crafted from 24oz British dyed, waterproof cotton canvas and lightweight 18oz canvas twill, the holdall’s durability is as functional as its design, with a spacious 32-liter capacity (with the addition of a full suit in the outer compartment – both can be used sperately), it’s easy to take this where ever you need to go.

Additionally, the solid brass hardware and premium veg-tanned Italian leather epitomize easy luxury, while YKK golden brass zips add a touch of class. And the exterior pocket is a thoughtful addition for quick access to essentials like passports or wallets.

Material: Cotton Canvas, Brass, Leather | Colors : 5 | Size : 22.6″ L x 14.1″W x  17.7″H | Capacity : Single Suit, in outside wrap, more space in the interior bag | Waterproof : Yes

Best Minimalist Design: Mismo M/S Suit Carrier

Copenhagen-based Mismo manufactures impeccable luggage and accessories with a minimalist aesthetic and a devotion to old-world craftsmanship. Their bags are handsome. Their bags are made to last. And their M/S Suit Carrier damn well better be on your person during your next transatlantic flight. Or literally any other flight.

Point is, this refined Grand Herringbone garment bag is peak luxury that can hold its own next to anything from your formal attire to your travel-ready blazer . It can comfortably accommodate up to three suits and features an outside shoe pocket, solid brass hardware, and full-grain leather trim. And did I mention it’s about as close as a garment bag carry-on can get to being considered sexy? If not… it’s about as close as a garment bag carry-on can get to being considered sexy.

Material: 19% Linen, 50% Viscose, 26% PET, 5% Polyurethane | Colors : 5 | Size : 19”H x 2”W x 21”L | Capacity : Up to 3 suits | Waterproof : Water-repellent

Best Budget: Amazon Basics Tri-Fold Garment Bag

If you’re looking for a minimal-frills mens garment bag on a budget, you know Amazon Basics has you covered. Its Tri-Fold Garment Bag is a polyester workhorse designed for air travel. It holds up to three suits with plenty of room to spare for shoes, accessories, and a few everyday outfits.

Other travel-friendly features include an adjustable shoulder strap, carry handle, and pockets to accommodate items like pens and earbuds. As you might expect, this is among the least durable options on this list, making it best for the infrequent traveler who takes pride in his various suits but doesn’t find the need to break the bank on a product that’ll end up riding the closet bench more often than not.

Material: 100% Polyester | Colors : 3 | Size : 45”H x 4”W x 23”L | Capacity : Up to 3 suits | Waterproof : No

Best On Amazon: Zegur Suit Carry-On Bag

A strong contender for the best garment bags for suits overall, Zegur comes in hot with a versatile, affordable, feature-rich travel companion. In addition to its three-suit capacity, this bag is lousy with storage options. An interior shoe pocket here. An exterior laptop compartment there. You’d be hard-pressed to find a weekend-travel detail unattended to.

If you’re so inclined to argue with the almost 7,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, hey, do your thing. But, turns out, they might just be onto something. It fits nicely in an overhead bin and has thoughtfully sized pockets, a waterproof exterior, and a detachable shoulder strap—as good a collection of evidence as any.

Material: 100% Polyester | Colors : 2 | Size : 22”H x 4”W x 22”L | Capacity : Up to 3 suits | Waterproof : Yes

Best Rolling: Travelpro Platinum Elite 50-Inch Rolling Garment Bag 

Which brings us to the best garment bags for men’s suits in the rolling category—the Travelpro Platinum Elite 50-Inch Rolling Garment Bag. What else can I say that the oh-so-clever title hasn’t already? Let’s see, it’s got an integrated lock, a padded roll bar that helps prevent wrinkles, and pockets of all sizes located strategically throughout the bag.

The wheels, unlike those on many other rolling bags, are made with sealed ball bearings to ensure longevity and durability. If you can think of a detail that does everything in its power to help you travel better, this thing’s got it.

Material: 100% Nylon | Colors : 1 | Size : 24”H x 10.5”W x 24”L | Capacity : Up to 3 suits | Waterproof : No

Best Functionality: Victorinox Traveler 6.0 Garment Sleeve

The Traveler 6.0 Garment Sleeve from Victorinox is the best suit bag on this list for a handful of key reasons. Chiefly among them is its exceptional attention to detail by way of several thoughtful features and accessories integrated into the bag—no surprise considering it’s from the same company that invented the Swiss Army Knife.

Hanger clamp to help prevent your suit from floundering in-flight: present and accounted for. Foam compression strap to further lock your items into place: that too. There’s also a detachable J-hook for use in your car or hotel room, plus plenty of interior and exterior pockets for storing anything from shoes to casual clothes. This is an approachable priced, one-suit bag that’s perfect for short work trips or wedding weekends.

Material: 100% Nylon | Colors : 1 | Size : 21.3”H x 2”W x 24.8”L | Capacity : Up to 1 suit | Waterproof : No

Best Travel: Away Garment Bag

Founded in 2015, Away is a relative newcomer to the travel gear scene and has since gained massive (and deserved) popularity. The brand’s luggage is designed with the modern traveler in mind. It’s water-resistant, features interior and exterior zip pockets for shoes and other personal items, and has an integrated clip for attaching it to rolling luggage.

You can stash up to two suits inside and it’s available in black and navy. This is the bag you get if you’re looking for something handsome and functional that’s going to last for years of travel.

Material: Nylon, Leather | Colors : 2 | Size : 22.5”H x 3.35”W x 20.5”L | Capacity : Up to 3 suits | Waterproof : Water-resistant

Best Convertible Bag: Shinola Convertible Traveler Garment Bag 

Shinola’s Convertible Traveler Garment Bag is not only a stylish addition to any luggage collection, it’s the best garment duffel bag that can can do it all. What you’re working with is a seamless combination of a duffel bag and garment bag made of a water-resistant canvas that’s been accented throughout with Vachetta leather.

The duffel itself features strategically placed pockets and brass hardware and comes with a shoe bag. The two-suit garment bag is an open compartment with an interior slip pocket and a leather card pocket. When the occasion calls for a bag full of long-weekend gear plus a suit or two, just snap the garment bag portion onto the duffel and hit the road.

Material: 90% Canvas, 10% Vachetta Leather | Colors : 2 | Size : 14”H x 10”W x 22.7”L | Capacity : Up to 2 suits | Waterproof : Water-resistant

What To Look For In The Best Garment Bags For Suits 

There are several types of garment bags, each suited to different types and lengths of trips. If you’re traveling to a black-tie affair , you’re going to have different needs from a bag than if you just need a few Oxford shirts and some nice pants . From rolling and convertible bags to traditional garment bags and carry-ons, you’ll want to pair the function of the luggage with the actual trip you’re taking.

If you’re more of a one-suit-fits-all -occasions type of guy, more power to you. Almost any garment bag will do since they all hold at least one suit. But if work takes you away frequently, for instance, and requires you to travel with suits, go for either a larger rolling bag that can accommodate multiple looks or an open-compartment garment bag with plenty of volume. Protip: Make sure there’s room to stash away a few travel-friendly non-iron dress shirts , too.

Depending on where and what time of year you travel, you’ll want to spend some time thinking about what your garment bag is made of. Rainy environments or wedding weekends in a rustic mountain environment call for water-resistant, durable materials like polyester or ballistic nylon. If luxury travel is more your speed, you can easily get away with all-leather luggage, for example.

Final Verdict 

To get the most longevity out of your garment bag, choose an option that fits the frequency with which you travel and is capable of standing up to the elements that your destination dishes out. You can’t go wrong by turning to durable bags with thoughtful features like the ones found on my top pick—the Amazon Basics Tri-Fold Garment Bag .

Garment bags protect your suits and all styles of shirts from damage during travel and limit harmful exposure to pests, mildew, and the sun. As long as your garment bag is constructed of a breathable, durable material, there are few downsides to using one.

If you mainly use garment bags for suit storage, opt for a breathable fabric like cotton. If you’re looking for the best garment bag for suits for short-term travel, a water-resistant nylon or canvas bag will serve you well.

Most garment bags can fit anywhere from one to three suits. A bag’s capacity depends on factors like its purpose (carry-on, travel, etc.) and overall width.

A garment bag solves the age-old question: How do I travel with my black-tie clothes or work suits? For events and work functions that are further away from home and require a certain dress code, a garment bag is the simplest way to travel wrinkle-free. The garment bag comes in handy, especially if your hotel doesn't offer a laundry service or you are wary of traveling with a portable steam iron .

Straight from airplanes to meetings, trains to conventions, or even just car rides to dinners, garment bags are first impression saviors. They keep clothing pristine in all forms, whether you're traveling with a wheeled carry-on , duffle bag, or checked luggage; however, a garment bag is more than just a bag. For luggage brand Tumi, they're a reflection of the brand’s values. “Crafting contemporary, efficient travel pieces is at Tumi’s core; it's our commitment to making your journeys easier and helping you look good when on-the-go,” says Jill Krizelman, senior vice president of global marketing and e-commerce at Tumi . So for someone who is on-the-go a lot, like Highsnobiety editor-in-chief Willa Bennett , “using a garment bag that's made of cotton is best for keeping [her] suits in perfect condition.” While the material, style, and size of the bags may vary, they have one thing in common: keeping clothing safe and structured.

Krizelman puts it perfectly. “I used to think about garment bags solely for transporting a dress or suit for a special occasion, but garment bags do so much more and have become excellent travel companions, especially for quick trips,” she says. Listen to the pros and take your pick ahead.

This tri-fold carry-on is perfect for convenient, compact traveling, and the quality of TUMI is meant to last forever. As Krizelman notes, “When you want to show up looking your best, the right luggage can make a huge difference and from wrinkle-free to worry-free travel, nothing beats a TUMI garment bag.” Purchasers agree, calling it “the last garment bag [they] would ever need to buy.”

Picture the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “garment bag,” and then look at this. Identical right? With a strap for easy carrying, customers are loving the simplicity of this garment bag.

“This bag was easy to pack, managed hangers well and had room for shoes," one shopper says. "It could work as a weekender bag as well!” In this case, the customer’s always right.

Samsonite’s Silhouette collection has been around since 1958, so when an updated style comes along, it knows what’s up. Increased durability, spinner wheels, and double hanging capacity only add to the credibility of this bag.

A particularly rave reviewer loves that they were “able to fit four full suits, and still have space and nooks available to fit in the rest of [their] travel clothes and gear.” Noting this bag’s capabilities, it might be time to add to cart.

Lightweight and compact, this is as reliable a garment bag as they come. Meant to fit two-to-three full-length garments, it's an essential for quick trips. But don’t underestimate this one—with zip compartments and mesh pockets, this bag means business. Take it from other shoppers, as one says, “It fulfills its targeted function of carrying suits, dress shirts, slacks, dresses, or whatever else will travel better in a garment bag.”

Coming in under $50, this garment bag from Amazon Basics is an affordable way to transport clothing wrinkle-free. One purchaser considers it “all you need for short trips across the country.” Another loves its black-tie capabilities, as they “carried two suits, two shirts, and a knee-length mother of the bride dress with no significant wrinkles, and [they] checked it with luggage…[they were] very impressed and highly recommend it to anyone needing to travel with dress clothes!”

In weekender style, Hook and Albert’s bag is a modish choice. The leather-trimming adds sleekness to sit atop wheeled luggage. Reviewers love the look, and one also “love[s] the fact that it’s both a garment bag and a tote.” The dual-purpose construction makes it a very tempting purchase.

briggs & riley Garment Duffle

Another stray from the classic wheeled form, this duffle is in its own category of transformer. Going from a hanging bag back to a duffle in seconds, the flexible form makes packing easy. It’s essentially two bags in one, one buyer saying it “may be the only travel bag [they’ll] ever need.”

In messenger fashion comes a convertible garment bag for all wrinkle-free desires. The smooth exterior gives this bag durability and flexibility with a professional feel. And don’t be fooled by its size; one reviewer advertises that it “holds more than expected.”

This bag’s capacity goes far beyond its carry-on size, making it a favorite for both long haul trips and short jaunts. The strong nylon casing with leather trim has a business edge to match the suits it’s protecting inside. A fold-out extension only adds to its capabilities, and a fan of the bag says it’s “very well constructed with the critical failure points reinforced.” Another writes that it’s “sturdy but lightweight.”

No luggage roundup is complete without a classic Hartmann. The bag’s construction is of peak quality, and a removable padded extension panel and dual hanger brackets make its carrying capacities unlike any other on the market.

One reviewer is keen on the wheels, as they are “durable and roll easily.” The brand’s purchasers are strong believers in the product, with one even saying, “[they’ve owned] a Hartmann Tweed garment bag all [their] life for business and personal travel, and [they] wouldn't accept anything else.”

Briggs & Riley Baseline 2-Wheel Garment Bag : Best Garment Bag Overall 

Briggs & Riley is one of the most respected luggage brands in the industry. They built super durable luxury suitcases and have an amazing lifetime guarantee.

They also have some awesome garment bag designs. The Baseline 2-Wheel Garment Bag is an amazingly-well designed carry-on suitcase with dedicated hanging storage with a folder design to keep your formal clothes crisp and neat. It rolls on two wheels with an extendable handle, so it’s very easy to move through the airport.

In addition to the hanging storage, this bag has a separate packing compartment where you can store additional clothing or accessories. There are also two exterior pockets that are perfect for keeping essentials like electronics, passports, or books. These features make it much more versatile and functional than most garment bags. For many trips, this could be your only piece of luggage.

The downside is the high price. If you’re a frequent traveler, it may be worth it for the unbeatable quality and warranty.

• Technical Specs

AmazonBasics Trifold Garment Bag : Best Budget Garment Bag

If you’re on a budget, shopping on Amazon can be a great way to save on affordable luggage and travel gear. AmazonBasics is an in-house brand that focuses on selling functional, highly-rated products at affordable prices, from AA batteries to outdoor furniture.

The AmazonBasics Trifold Garment Bag is a simple and well-thought out carry-on size garment bag with a carry handle and padded shoulder strap.

The simple hanging design makes it very easy to pack your clothes with their hangers. There are two tie-down straps to prevent creases.

In addition to the clothes storage, there are tons of internal and external zippered pockets for packing socks, shoes, ties, electronics, books, pens, an anything else you can think of.

Victorinox Werks 6.0 Global Carry-On : Best Carry-On Garment Bag

Victorinox is best known for making the classic Swiss Army Knife, but they also build some very functional and durable travel gear.

I personally prefer just having one carry-on , and I don’t want to deal with suitcase and a separate garment bag on the plane. The Victorinox Werks 6.0 Global Carry-On solves that problem with an innovative design that includes a dedicated garment folder in a standard carry-on suitcase.

At first glance, this is a fairly typical carry-on, with spinner wheels and a large zippered main compartment. Inside, though, there is a fold-out panel and a hanging clip for formal clothes.

The biggest downside is that the garment folder isn’t very long, so it won’t be ideal for longer items like full-length dresses. It’s still one of the best men’s carry-on options for traveling with a suit, though.

Away Garment Bag : Best Garment Bag for Suits

Away is a startup travel brand that has rocked the internet with their clever and omnipresent marketing. They make sleek, beautiful products that are designed to take some of the stress out of travel.

The Away Garment Bag is a super simple hanging design that looks good and is easy to use. There aren’t any totally unique features, but it does work really well for packing up to two suits.

One of the best features is the built-in strap that makes it really easy to attach this garment bag to the side of your suitcase. This makes it easier to roll through the airport and keeps your other hand free. There’s also a shoulder strap if you want to carry it that way.

Samsonite Just Right Garment Carrier : Best Garment Bag for Dresses

Samsonite is the most recognizeable luggage brand in the world. Their products are everywhere, and for good reason: they build solid luggage and travel bags at a wide range of pricepoints.

Traveling with a dress isn’t always easy, but the Samsonite Just Right Garment Carrier is designed to eliminate the hassle. It’s long hanging design makes is really easy to pack, even with long dresses, and there are plenty of pockets for accessories, including shoe pockets for two pairs of shoes.

You get plenty of options for carrying this bag. There’s a tote handle, adjustable shoulder strap, and a luggage handle-passthrough.

The only problem with this garment bag is that it probably doesn’t have enough storage space to replace your main carry-on, so you’ll have to bring both through the airport.

Travelpro Maxlite 5 Checked Rolling Garment Bag : Best Rolling Garment Bag

Travelpro was founded by an airline pilot who invented the original upright rolling suitcase. He started by making luggage for flight crews, and now Travelpro has a full range of luggage and bags for all travelers.

The Travelpro Maxlite 5 Checked Rolling Garment Bag is a big two-wheeled bag with hanging storage for suits, dresses, dress shirts, and more. The metal hanger clip makes it super easy to pack and is very secure, so you know your clothes won’t shift during travel.

I really love the wheeled design, especially for a large garment bag like this. Rolling luggage is much easier to move through the airport than traditional garment bags that you have to carry in your hand or on your shoulder.

My biggest complaint is the size. This bag is huge, and for most people it will be overkill. If you’re bringing a lot of hanging clothing, though, it can’t be beaten.

Halfday Garment Duffel : Best Garment Duffel Bag

Many garment bags are pretty single-purpose. They work well at carrying a suit or dress, and that’s about it. If you’re looking for something more versatile garment duffel bags may be the way to go.

The Halfday Garment Duffel Bag is a unique design that can open out into a full garment bag, and then zipper together to create a duffel bag for the rest of your items. If you want one compact bag that can hold a suit or dress and a weekend’s worth of clothes, this is it.

This definitely isn’t the best dedicated garment bag out there, but it really nails it when it comes to versatility.

Briggs & Riley Carry-On Garment Spinner : Best Wheeled Garment Bag

If you’re looking for an easy-to-pack, easy-to-roll garment bag on wheels, the Briggs & Riley Carry-On Garment Spinner is a slick carry-on garment bag that rolls on four spinner wheels.

This luxury garment bag combines the convenience of wheeled luggage with the ability to secure and protect clothing during travel. You can fit up to three suits inside and have plenty of room for everything else you need for a short trip.

Inside there are tons of zippered pouches for shoes, accessories, and more. Every inch of space is well used, and the organization features make it easy to have a designated space for everything. Seriously, I’ve never seen a garment bag that’s this well-thought-out in terms of organization.

Additionally, the exterior pocket gives you a space for essential items you want easy access to without opening the main compartment.

NOMATIC Garment Bag : Best Men’s Garment Bag

NOMATIC got their start through crowdfunding, and now they build a wide array of sleek travel backpacks and bags. While they’re best known for their laptop and travel backpacks, they also make a solid carry-on garment bag.

For men, traveling with a garment bag usually means carrying a suit, whether you’re traveling for. Your top priority should be arriving at your destination with a crisp and uncrumpled. The NOMATIC Garment Bag is simple, lightweight, and perfect for keeping your suit jacket, pants, and dress shirts in pristine condition during travel.

This lightweight garment bag is clean, simple, easy to pack, and easy to carry. It can hang from a wall hook, doorknob, or in a closet for easy packing, and it zips completely over your suit to keep it from shifting around.

The shoulder strap and luggage pass-through also give you options for carrying it through the airport.

Unlike some other options on this list, this is definitely nothing more than a suit garment bag. While it’s great at that purpose, it doesn’t have the same versatility as some of the convertible duffel bag or wheeled luggage options.

CALPAK Compakt Garment Bag : Best Hanging Garment Bag

Hanging garment bags are some of the easiest ones to use. You can simply hang them up from a wall hook or in a closet, and then you have full access for packing and unpacking.

The CALPAK Compakt Garment Bag is one of the best in this category. When packed, it’s compact and lightweight, and when you unfold it and hang it up it’s like having a whole mini closet open up in front of you, with easy hanging storage and a wide array of interior and exterior pockets.

Unfolded, the whole bag zips wide open. There is a simple loop for hanging clothes, and it’s super easy to pack in dresses or suits.

You also get a shoe compartment, small zippered accessory pockets, and see-through mesh pockets that make it easy to see what’s in each.

Zegur Suit Carry-On Garment Bag : Best Garment Bag for Air Travel

The Zegur Suit Carry-On Garment Bag is a solid product that manages to pack in the features of a deluxe travel garment bag at an impressively low price. It folds out wide to make it easy to pack hanging clothes, and has padded interior straps to prevent creases.

In addition to the garment storage, this bag has a wide-opening front pocket that’s loaded with smaller organizing compartments. There’s even a padded sleeve for your laptop!

These additional features make this a perfect carry-on to load with all your travel essentials and throw in the overhead compartment.

Travelpro Crew Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag : Best Rolling Garment Bag Carry-On

I’m a huge fan of rolling garment bags, especially when they have enough space and extra pockets to serve as my main carry-on.

The Travelpro Crew Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag is durable, stylish, and uber-organized. It has great storage for your formal clothing plus tons of compartments for other clothing and accessories. On shorter trips, this could easily be your only piece of luggage. I love that versatility!

The fold-out design makes it very easy to pack suits or dresses into this carry-on garment bag, and padded tie-down straps keep everything in place.

Wally Bags Trifold Carry-On Wedding Dress Travel Bag : Best Wedding Dress Garment Bag

If you’re traveling with a wedding dress, you want something that’s specifically made for that purpose. The Wally Bags Wedding Dress Travel Bag has extra length and features that make it perfect for long wedding dresses.

At the top of the bag there is a unique clamping system that holds hangers securly in place. You can fit multiple full-length dresses and won’t have to worry about them shifting around.

Finally, this carry-on garment bag is easy to carry with the detachable shoulder strap, carry handles, or luggage attachment.

Travelpro Platinum Elite 25” Check-In Spinner : Best Garment Bag Luggage

If you’re shopping for both a garment bag and standard checked luggage , it makes a lot of sense to get one product that can fill both purposes.

The Travelpro Platinum Elite Check-In is primarily a medium softside checked suitcase, and it works great as a standard suitcase. There’s more going on here though. The built-in folding suiter also makes this a fully capable travel garment bag for suits, dresses, or other formal clothing.

With this super versatile travel bag, you can pack your formal clothing and still have room for other clothing and essentials for longer trips.

Modoker Convertible Garment Bag : Best Convertible Garment Bag

The final product on this list of travel garment bags is a unique convertible design. The Modoker Convertible Garment Bag can open out wide to make it easy to pack hanging clothing. Then, you zip up the garment panel, fold the bag together, and it becomes a compact travel duffel bag.

The materials and build quality aren’t the best, but as a tradeoff, this bag is less than half the price of many other highly-rated garment bags. And it is well-designed and functional.

Overall, the Modoker Convertible Garment Bag is a very versatile, affordable choice for all types of travel.

How to Choose the Best Garment Bags

Here are a few pointers to assist you in selecting the ideal garment bag. You’ll never have to wear wrinkled or untidy clothes again if you invest in the appropriate bag!

Easy to Hang And Pack

Ease of packing is one of the most important features in any garment bag. Look for a design that can lay totally flat and open for packing. You also want a bag with built-in straps to hold your clothes in place while you fold them.

You should ideally look for a clothes bag with a low-profile hanging loop. This function allows you to effortlessly hang the bag in your closet, hotel room, or restroom while you pack and unpack it.

Quality Materials

Never choose a garment bag made of low-quality materials. Poor-quality fabric can lead your bag to flex or crease, which defeats the purpose of using a garment bag. Always pay great attention to the material of the garment bag you want to buy. Choose a product that is made of a sturdy material that will not crease even when folded.

Carry-on garment bags normally have maximum dimensions of 22 x 14 x 9 inches. As a result, it’s usually a good idea to double-check the maximum size at the airlines you plan to use before purchasing.

The length of the carrier bag is another crucial feature. If you plan to carry lengthy gowns or dresses, be sure the bag can hold them and maintain them wrinkle-free.

18 Best Garment Bags for Wrinkle Free Travel

• October 22, 2023
• Luggage Accessories

When traveling, it’s essential to have a way to keep your clothes wrinkle-free and protected from any potential damage. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by using a garment bag. A garment bag is a specialized type of luggage designed specifically for carrying clothing items such as suits, dresses, and other formal clothing.

However, not all garment bags are created equal. Some are better suited for certain types of travel than others, and some are more durable and better equipped to protect your clothes from wrinkles and other damage.

In this post, we’ll explore the best garment bags for wrinkle-free travel and provide you with all the information you need to choose the perfect one for your next trip.

Keeps Clothes Organized

Backpack garment bags, misslo gusseted travel garment bag, matein black stripe suit garment bag, travelpro platinum elite rolling garment bag, ytonet carry on garment duffel bag, vessgra backpack garment duffel bag, what is a travel garment bag.

If you’re new to the idea of traveling with a garment bag, this section is for you.

A travel garment bag is a type of luggage that’s designed specifically for carrying clothes, especially formal wear, during travel. It usually features a long, rectangular shape and has a zipper or other closure mechanism that allows you to open it up and lay your clothes flat inside. The inside of the bag often includes specialized compartments and hangers to keep your clothes organized and prevent them from wrinkling or getting damaged.

Travel garment bags come in a variety of styles, materials, and sizes. Some are made of lightweight fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, while others are made of heavier materials, like leather. Some are designed to be carried by hand, while others come with wheels and handles for easy transportation. You can find travel garment bags in a range of sizes, from small carry-on bags to larger bags that can hold multiple outfits.

Benefits of Travel Garment Bags

Here are some of the benefits of using a travel garment bag:

Minimizes Wrinkles

As mentioned earlier, one of the primary benefits of a travel garment bag is that it minimizes wrinkles and creases in your clothes. By hanging your clothes vertically, they are less likely to get bunched up, and the fabric has more room to breathe.

Saves Space

Garment bags are typically designed to be lightweight and compact, which means that they take up less space than traditional suitcases. This can be especially useful if you are traveling on a budget airline that has strict baggage size restrictions.

Offers Protection

Garment bags are made from durable materials that can protect your clothes from spills, tears, and other damages that can occur during transit. Some garment bags also have extra features, such as padded compartments, to offer extra protection for delicate items.

Garment bags typically have multiple compartments and pockets that allow you to organize your clothes and accessories. This can make it easier to find what you need without having to unpack your entire suitcase.

Types of Travel Garment Bags

There are several different types of travel garment bags to choose from, each with its own unique features and benefits.

Traditional Garment Bags

Traditional garment bags are the most common type of garment bags. They are made of sturdy materials like nylon or polyester and feature a zippered opening that runs the length of the bag. Traditional garment bags can usually hold two to three suits or dresses and have additional pockets for storing shoes and accessories.

Carry-On Garment Bags

Carry-on garment bags are designed to fit inside the overhead compartment of an airplane and are typically small enough to be carried on as a personal item. They are perfect for short trips or for travelers who prefer to pack light.

Rolling Garment Bags

Rolling garment bags look like standard suitcases. They feature wheels and a telescoping handle, making them easy to transport through airports. They are larger than carry-on garment bags and can accommodate more clothing and accessories.

Duffel-Style Garment Bags

Duffel-style garment bags combine the best features of a traditional duffel bag with the protection of a garment bag. They typically have a large central compartment for clothing, as well as several smaller pockets for accessories.

Backpack garment bags are designed for travelers who prefer a more casual look. They feature a backpack-style design with a garment compartment built-in. They are perfect for outdoor activities or for those who want to travel hands-free.

How to Choose the Right Travel Garment Bag

When choosing a travel garment bag, there are several factors to consider. Here are some of the most important:

The size of the garment bag you choose will depend on how much clothing you need to pack and how long your trip will be. If you’re only packing a few items, a small carry-on garment bag may be sufficient. For longer trips or for those who need to pack multiple outfits, a larger wheeled garment bag may be a better choice.

The material of the garment bag will affect its durability, weight, and resistance to wrinkles. Look for bags made from high-quality, lightweight materials such as nylon or polyester. Many bags also feature water-resistant coatings to protect your clothes from spills or rain.

Compartments and Pockets

Some garment bags feature compartments and pockets for storing shoes, toiletries, and other items. These pockets make it easy to access your essentials during your trip.

Handles and Straps

Consider how you’ll be carrying the bag. If you’re going to be carrying it by hand, look for a bag with sturdy handles. Some garment bags come with detachable shoulder straps that allow you to carry them over your shoulder or as a backpack. If you’re going to be using wheels, make sure they’re sturdy and can handle the weight of the bag.

Many garment bags come with built-in hangers or a hook to hang clothes on. The hanger system keeps clothes upright, preventing them from wrinkling.

How to Pack a Travel Garment Bag

Once you’ve chosen the right travel garment bag, it’s important to pack it correctly to keep your clothes wrinkle-free. Here are some tips to follow:

• First, make sure your clothing is clean and dry. Iron or steam any wrinkled items before packing.
• Place the heaviest items at the bottom of the bag, such as shoes or toiletries.
• Lay your clothing flat in the bag, making sure that the sleeves and pant legs are straight.
• Fold the bag in half, making sure that the clothing is not folded in half.
• Zip the bag closed and hang it up.
• If you’re using a rolling garment bag, be careful not to overload it. Overloading can cause the bag to become too heavy and difficult to maneuver.
• If you’re using a carry-on garment bag, be sure to check the airline’s size restrictions to make sure the bag will fit in the overhead compartment.
• If you are using a foldable bag, simply fold it up and store it in your luggage.

As an avid traveler, I’ve tested my fair share of travel garment bags over the years. Along the way, I’ve learned what makes a great product and why everyone should invest in one.

A garment bag is a type of luggage used for transporting business or formal attire from one destination to another. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials, but all have an integrated suiter compartment designed to keep clothing flat, clean, and wrinkle-free on the road.

Pack your fine suits or designer dresses in a carry-on garment bag with wheels if you want ease of movement while avoiding checked baggage fees, or opt for a hybrid model that converts from a fold-out garment bag to a stylish duffle for more versatility. Compact and well-organized, a tri-fold design is a smart solution for busy professionals on a two or three-day business trip, while an elegant garment weekender crafted in supple leather is the ultimate companion for out-of-town weddings and other social events.

With everything from inexpensive suiter carriers to practical rollers to convertible duffels, the list below is a good starting point to find the best garment bag for travel.

How to Pack a Suit for Travel Without Wrinkling It

What’s the best way to pack a suit? Whether you’re trying to pack for your airline carry-on, or simply get your suit to your wedding in pristine condition, the last thing you want to do is damage it or crease it so it can’t be worn on the other side. Today, the team of expert tailors from Oliver Wicks takes an in-depth look at how to properly pack your suit for convenience and safety, without having a wrinkled mess to sort out at the end of the trip.

The Right Bag

A little helper, pro tip: check you have everything, pro tip: know your jacket, every fold - think “roll”, not “crease”, the classic way, using a dry cleaning bag, the inside-out shoulder, for a carry-on bag, shoes, belt, and accessories, preparation.

Did you know that the number one cause of wrinkles and other issues when packing a suit, for airline travel particularly, is simply overpacking? Because of those funky weight limits, we cram as much as possible into each bag, and it is really not the way to go with something as expensive and important as your best suit. Years ago, we’d use a garment bag to carry the suit onto the plane separately, but with carry-on luggage becoming ever more limited, that’s no longer quite as practical as it once was—you probably need more than just your suit and laptop on the plane, right?

Garment bags certainly still have their uses—if you’re traveling by car, for example, one will be invaluable to help your suit arrive in one piece. And you may like to use one to hang your suit in when you arrive at your destination. But for airline travel, we advise ensuring you have a high-quality, sturdy piece of luggage instead. One with sufficient room to fit all your items in without cramping them. Make sure it has a hard shell or stiff sides to protect your suit and other items from the jostling in the cargo hold. It’s important to make sure that the suit that fits you also fits your luggage well, so you don’t damage the garment. This preparation will pay you back when you look fitted, tailored, and amazing on the other side.

If you’re able to squeeze it into your luggage allowance, a small hand garment steamer will be the single best investment you can make. If you can’t, there are some workarounds—hotels often have ironing services, or you can do a lot with some hanging time in the steam of a hot bathroom. But the ability to properly de-crease and care for your garment on the go will be invaluable to you.

Next, make sure you really do have your full suit. Do you want to hear fun stories of guests, grooms, and businessmen who’ve landed to find one cufflink, a shoe, or a belt missing? Sure, that’s fun! Do you want to be that guest, groom, or businessman? Not so much.

Dressing is a pretty instinctive act, especially if we often wear a suit, but you’d be surprised how many little details you can leave out of the mix in a rush. And if you’re not wearing a suit often, unfamiliarity will catch you. So, take some time before the rush of packing to itemize everything and make sure you have every detail—from the jacket, suit pants, and dress shirt right through to belts/bracers/cummerbunds, shoes, socks, cufflinks, pocket squares, ties or bow ties, and any accessories that you plan to wear. We suggest making a list and ticking it off as you pack for extra peace of mind.

How to Actually Pack Your Suit 

Now you have everything you need for suit packing, let’s get to the nitty gritty—how are you going to make this stiff, bulky, and expensive item fold up neatly and safely? Don’t worry—it can be done, we promise! Learning how to pack a suit for travel is surprisingly simple.

If, however, you’re really not able to squeeze your suit into the luggage space you have available, you can always consider wearing it to fly. After all, men and women alike used to dress up for travel! While it comes with an element of risk (a bit of turbulence and your inflight meal might end up in your lap!) , it will ensure your suit gets there. However, the rigors of travel will leave small creases, so don’t expect it to be ready to wear—luckily, your hand steamer will help with that!

By far the hardest part of a suit to fold is your jacket because it has the thickest fabric and most complicated construction. Take a moment to examine exactly how your jacket is built. Whether it has a full or half canvas, for example, will drastically impact your ability to fold it, as well as how badly affected it will be by the process. 

So, get to know your suit a little and you’ll feel more confident about selecting the best packing method. Knowing what suiting fabric was used in your suit will also help you determine how it will hold up in travel.

We are going to focus on packing the jacket for now—we will touch on other parts of the suit under different headings below. Knowing how to pack a blazer for travel is the toughest part.

Huh? We’ll explain…

When folding a letter to fit inside an envelope, you’ll fold the paper on itself, and run your finger down the fold for a nice flat crease. Take note - Try to avoid doing this with garments.

Instead, try to make gentle, loose rolls. When it’s time to unpack, this will lower the chances of having any crease/fold marks left in the jacket, which would be equally as bad as wrinkles, thus defeating the purpose of trying to pack carefully in the first place. In many cases, a deep crease is actually harder to rectify than wrinkles.

This method is very efficient, creating a neat square, but it will involve the most folds as you are packing your suit jacket both horizontally and vertically, so keep that in mind.

• Face your jacket down on a flat surface
• Fold one shoulder into the midpoint of the back, sleeve flat along the back
• You may need to fold the sleeve back toward the outside
• Mirror the other side
• Now you have the two sleeves parallel down the center back of the jacket
• Fold the hem to just under the collar
• Slide your hand under the folded jacket and flip it (lapels will be up, facing you)
• Place it on top of the rest of your packed luggage, lapels up for minimum damage

In addition to your jacket, you can pack your vest this way, as there are just no sleeves to fold.

This method will protect the fabric better, and can cut down on creasing, but is a larger fold in the end. You can use a traditional suit garment bag, or a thin dry cleaning bag—both work.

• Hang the suit inside the garment bag, with the hanger
• Lapels should face you
• Gather the bottom hem of the jacket and fold it up to the collar
• Think of it like a taco shell shape with the lapels and front of the jacket inside and the back outside

This has similarities to the classic method. It is best for satin/silk-lined jackets as it will cut down on creases a lot. If you were wondering how to pack a tuxedo in a suitcase, this could be your method of choice.

• Spread the suit jacket on a flat surface with lapels down
• Fold one shoulder to the center midline, with the sleeve back
• Fold it back toward the outer edge as needed
• Now, turn the other shoulder inside-out
• Insert the first shoulder into the “pocket” created
• Bring the inside-out sleeve toward the center
• Fold the jacket in half down the center
• Fold the bottom to the top
• (Optional) Encase the folded jacket in a dry-cleaning bag

Place it into your suitcase, on the top to avoid additional pressure. There are some variants of this “pocket” method you can try, too.

If you have limited space, for example, when packing a suit in a backpack, or if you want to know how to fold a suit in a carry-on, this is for you.

• Pop both shoulders of the jacket inside out
• Fold it in half so the lapels touch (the lining will be on the outside)
• Fold it again, in thirds

It is ready to pack. This one is easier than it sounds, so try the following video if you need a visual—it also shows you how to fold the trousers, which we are about to cover.

Now your jacket is done, let’s get the trousers packed. You can use any of the jacket folds we’ve covered here for this.

• Simply lay your suit pants out folded in half lengthways (one full leg visible)
• Place the folded jacket in the middle, around knee height
• Fold the cuffs up and over the jacket, then the belt section (in thirds)

Now your jacket and pants are in a neat square, ready to pack. 

Remove your collar stays before packing, so they don’t bend. Also, take off any boutonnieres, collar pins, etc. so they don’t get pressed flat or pushed into the wrong sections of material.

• Spread out your dress shirt face down on a hard, flat surface, buttoned up
• Fold the sleeves toward the center, up the middle
• They’ll look crisscrossed.
• Now, fold the cuff straight up the back on both sides to meet the collar
• Fold the shoulder of each side to the centerline (meet in the middle)
• Now, fold the hem to the collar

Need a video? Try this one :

Invest in a drawstring shoe bag to pack your dress shoes . You can see these simple bags in the following make-your-own video , but they can be bought commercially, too. Grocery bags will do, but c’mon—let’s be elegant.

The bag will keep wax, polish, and any dirt from impacting the rest of your luggage. Ideally, use two and pack the shoes individually at the bottom of your bag. If necessary, you can pack them in one together—place the soles on the outside, and the shoe heel to toe. This may crush them together a little, though.

You can roll up socks, ties , belts , bracers, pocket squares, and other accessories and place them in the shoes for safekeeping and extra space.

However, we do not advise storing cufflinks, watches, or other expensive and small jewelry items in your shoes. Those are best placed in your carry-on luggage in a small, discrete bag for safety. They should not be checked due to theft risk. You can grab a cheap woman’s jewelry roll to keep them safe and easy to find. There are many styles of these—you can see one in the following DIY video . A drawstring bag or old sock will do in a pinch but if you let the individual pieces move against each other, they could scratch or catch.

Packing a Suit—Dos and Don’ts

Now you know how to pack a suit for a flight, let’s look at some travel dos and don'ts.

• Take the time to pack properly—the tired traveler on the other side with a near-immaculate, safe suit will thank you!
• Steam your garment before you go—just make sure it dries
• Consider taking a garment bag along to place the suit into when you unpack
• Unpack your suit as soon as you can and hang it
• Place your suit on top of your luggage, and your shoes at the bottom
• Throw some spare (clean) plastic bags and a dry cleaning bag into your luggage. They fold to nothing, weigh nothing, and will be useful for storage and hanging when you arrive
• Bonus point if you can arrange for the airline to slap a “Fragile” sticker on your suitcase.
• Never pack a damp garment, ever—mold and damage happen quickly
• Don’t crush, tightly crease, press, or force your suit, as this can do long-term damage
• Don’t place items on top of it in the bag
• Never place shoes on top of garments—not even your unmentionables, let alone your suit! 
• Don’t leave pins, cufflinks, boutonnieres, and other sharp or metallic items in packed suits—they can snag, catch, and cause damage
• Never pack valuable jewelry and accessory items in checked luggage

Now you know how to pack a suit for travel like a true pro! Your investment garment will arrive as safely as it left, and you will have minimal work getting it ready to wear on the other side.

Don’t be disheartened if your suit still arrives with minor wrinkling. It’s often an unavoidable aspect of traveling, but follow these steps and you will greatly reduce the problem. If possible, it is always a good idea to have a plan on how you might deal with minor issues at the other end.

How to Fold Button Up Shirts for Travel

Decide If You Actually Need to Use a Garment Bag

Maybe you won’t end up needing a garment bag for your stuff, after all. Your decision to travel with a suit garment bag is, most of the time, determined by your itinerary. Official events related to work would likely require you to pack a suit. Special occasions, such as weddings and anniversaries, will almost always require formal wear, too.

Are you bringing a suit to your destination? If you are, then you might need a suit garment bag to transport your suit and keep it fairly crease- and wrinkle-free. To be sure, make a list of all the functions you’ll be attending at your destination. If all you’re going to need on your getaway are casual clothes, then it won’t be worth packing a garment bag. However, if you have tons of official events to attend, then you may need to bring more than one suit garment bag.

Put as Few Items as Possible Inside Your Bag

The thing about a suit garment bag is that it can get pretty bulky, which is why it typically isn’t the best way to transport numerous clothing items. Its inefficiency means a traveler must only pack one when necessary. If you can determine that your clothes will end up fine inside your suitcase, don’t hesitate to pack them there. If you’re packing a dress shirt, tie, and some accessories, you don’t necessarily require a suit garment bag. The same goes for a business-casual attire that can be folded and stowed away in your suitcase . Only garments that have been treated and must remain as wrinkle-free as possible should be placed inside a suit garment bag.

Use a Garment Bag for Your Business Trip

There is no better time to use a garment bag than during a business trip . Your trip is likely going to be short and filled with business meetings where you’ll be wearing suits almost all the time. Since garment bags have a limited capacity, you’ll want to use them during trips that last for only a few days. Pack an extra suitcase with your garment bag for extended trips that combine business and leisure.

Request for Professional Help

The most trouble you’re going to have with your garment bag is when packing a wedding dress. This can be a major nightmare for a lot of people who don’t have experience. This is exactly the reason why you should never even attempt to pack your dress on your own. Save yourself the headache and the hassle by requesting a dress company to do the packing for you. A dress company can also determine the best way to pack your gown.

If a garment bag doesn’t work, these professionals will likely ask you to bring a carry-on suitcase. What’s great about a carry-on is that it allows you to keep a close watch of your item. Some planes may have closets big enough to hang your garment bags, but don’t bet on it. A carry-on is always the safest best. Plus, whatever issues your dress may have in terms of creases and wrinkles during the flight can usually be settled easily at the destination; a little steaming is all it takes!

How to Pack a Suit Garment Bag

Now that you know how best to use your garment bag, it’s time to get to the packing.

Wash and Iron Your Suit

Suits for business meetings, weddings, and other elaborate events should be taken to the dry cleaners before being packed inside garment bags. Aside from making sure your stuff is clean, you should also make sure your garment bag is dirt-free and spotless. In this way, you won’t have to worry about your garments getting dust or dirt on them. There could also be parts of the garment bag missing, such as zippers and buttons, so you’ll want to check and even double-check this before you pack so that the appropriate repairs can be done.

Maintain the Shape of Your Suit

To keep your suits in the best condition for transport, lightly stuff the arm and leg portions with some tissue. This also prevents your garments from creasing or wrinkling, which is always good. Make it a point to use white tissue because, in the event that your suit gets wet, no color will bleed onto the garments.

Pack Depending on Your Itinerary

Proper packing should be done according to the itinerary of events you’re attending. Clothing for events scheduled at a later date should be placed at the back of your bag, while garments for earlier functions should be situated at the front. Incorrect packing can lead to you rummaging past other garments and wrinkling them in your effort to reach for clothes placed in the back of the bag.

Use Hangers

There are certain types of garment bags that have built-in hangers and others where hangers are separate. If you’re dealing with the latter, make it a point to use wire hangers that are lightweight and space-saving compared to plastic or wooden hangers. Several items can also be hung on each hanger to save space. You could maybe hang a t-shirt under a blazer and place a belt over the hanger. For pants and skirts, use pant hangers as it keeps these items from moving as much and, therefore, keeps them as wrinkle-free as possible.

Attach Formal Pieces to Hangers Using the Ribbons Inside Them

Doing this keeps the material from stretching from its own weight pulling against those shoulder straps. This is particularly important to note when packing gowns with long trains and dresses with beads and other stitched-in accessories.

Close Those Fasteners

Fasteners in the garment should all be closed and secured to help prevent wrinkles. Remember to button the buttons, snap those snaps, and zip those zippers, and you should be all good.

Put a Cleaning Bag Over Each Hanger

Plastic is great at preventing wrinkles. It causes the garments inside to rub together and produce the friction that keeps those creases and wrinkles at bay.

Use the Garment Bag’s Interior Pockets

Cosmetics, underwear, and hankies are some of the items you can place inside those interior pockets. In the event that you’re bringing a carry-on , then you can also put these items there. By doing this, you’re preventing these tiny items from bringing about wrinkly havoc on the clothing on your hangers.

Garment Bag Recommendation

Knowing how to travel with a suit garment bag involves being aware if it’s absolutely necessary to pack the item with you. If your upcoming trip is long and mostly for leisure, then it just isn’t worth it. However, if your trip is more about attending business meetings or formal functions for a couple of days, then packing a suit garment bag is absolutely necessary. Make sure to pack only a few items inside the garment bag. Lastly, use all the best strategies for effectively transporting the item so that the garments you place inside it arrive at your destination with as few wrinkles as possible.

Garment Travel Bags for Your Gowns, Suits, and More

S ome trips require little else other than a few lightweight two-piece sets or revealing bathing suits . Then you have vacations or work trips that mean you have to bring along a few dressier clothes. You could roll your blazers, nice dresses, and trousers in packing cubes, but that will most likely result in a wrinkly mess. 

Instead, a garment travel bag is the perfect solution to keep your nicer clothes as wrinkle-free as possible. The clothes remain on a hanger and aren’t as compact as they normally would be in a suitcase or carry-on bag. Here are a few garment bags perfect for travel that range from spacious interiors to 2-in-1 convertible styles.

Modoker Convertible Garment Bag

This isn’t your ordinary duffel bag. The exterior looks like your standard duffel and there’s even a separate shoe compartment. However, once you unzip the bag, it folds completely flat into a hanging garment bag. Use this space for your suit or gowns. The interior even has a few pockets and additional storage for other clothes or accessories. Zip this back up into the duffel shape and carry it via the adjustable strap or handles. 

2-in-1 Luggage Garment Bag

Here’s another convertible style, but this is truly two for the price of one. The duffel is made of water-resistant material and is spacious enough for several outfits or a few of your favorite packing cubes. There’s also a separate garment bag that wraps around the exterior of the duffel. There are a few snap closures to keep the two separate pieces as a cohesive set. Carry these pieces together or separately, depending on your trip. 

Amazon Basics Tri-Fold Garment Bag

This basic garment bag is spacious and has useful interior organization. It easily holds up to three of your suits or dresses and keeps them wrinkle-free. The side also has a mesh pocket for smaller items like ties or accessories. Its bi-fold design even has an exterior pocket with slots for your laptop, noise-canceling headphones, or pens.

Carry-On Garment Suit Bag

Some garment bags can lack structure, making them annoying to carry but also causing wrinkles in your clothes. For a bag that has a bit more structure, try this affordable option that has a 40L capacity. You’ll fit several suits and dresses in the zippered space. There are a few internal and side pockets for small items. The rectangular style fits easily in many spaces and also has a back trolley sleeve that goes over your suitcase handle. 

 ITIEZY Garment Duffel Bag

Whether you’re traveling for work or a destination wedding, this duffel bag looks great and keeps your outfits organized. The faux leather has a luxe look and the interior unzips to reveal a garment bag. Secure your clothes via the hangers and there are several zippered compartments for smaller items or accessories. The garment duffel even comes with a toiletry bag and laptop sleeve.

When it comes to quick trips that last a day or two, a duffel is what you need. And Herschel’s Novel bag is, in so many words, the best bang for your buck. Not only is it incredibly durable and spacious enough for several fits (there’s also a separate compartment for your shoes), but it’s also less than $100. That’s what we call a win-win.

Drawing its inspiration from origami, Longchamp’s convertible travel bag is one of the most versatile out there. Wear it as a backpack or carry it around as a weekender, this bag is going to get you from point A to point B with ease. It’s sporty and practical and effortlessly in fashion.

From Karl Lagerfeld to David Fincher to Martha Stewart, all the high rollers can be seen toting this suitcase. It’s got distinctive grooves and an ergonomic design, and it just screams class. Plus, the TSA-approved locks are keeping your belongings extra secure.

It’s also Esquire approved and worthy of an investment.

For train travel, bus voyages ( ooof, we feel your pain ), or even a trip involving a connecting flight, there’s nothing like a good backpack to keep you hands-free and moving at a quick pace. Made of water-resistant nylon, Away’s backpack is a durable choice with padded shoulder straps and a laptop pocket.

Surprisingly lightweight, Métier’s duffel is a luxe option for frequent travelers. It’s thoughtfully designed with specific places for toiletries, sunglasses, a laptop, and the rest of your valuables. A secret card slot in the exterior pocket makes for easier travel at the airport.

In the luggage realm, there are very few that hold a candle to Samsonite. For more than a century (yes, that long), the brand has been churning out travel accessories, always offering quality styles for the day. It doesn’t get bogged down by its history. This soft-shell spinner, for example, features wireless charging pockets and a compartment for toiletries, and it’s made of 100 percent ballistic nylon. It’s also less than $250, which makes is a virtual steal.

Business executives know the importance of a garment bag. When you just hopped off the plane and are running late to that meeting, never stress trying to find a steamer again. TUMI is saving you from wrinkle embarrassment, keeping you put together everywhere and anytime.

We love our garment bags in duffel form. They are practical for traveling with suits or other formal clothes, but you can also use them for quick casual trips. Need more convincing? Check out our endorsement of this one.

In a flexible neoprene, Dagne Dover's carryall is one of the lightest duffels out there. It's got a laptop sleeve, and it also comes with a shoe bag and a dust bag. It also makes for a great gym bag, if you want something that's multipurpose.

We love this duffel so much, it was even one of the travel products our editors can't live without . Converting from a garment sleeve to a duffel bag, its versatility meets a luxurious style for a bag you will have for decades.

July Carry All Weekender Plus

Much like it's name denotes, this truly is a carry-all at its 50L capacity. A large padded pocket fits your laptop, and hidden pockets with magnetic closures keep your smaller belongings tucked away safely. If you are going somewhere for the long-haul, it also easily attaches onto your luggage.

Paravel Aviator Grand Suitcase

Paravel is new-ish to the luggage game, but in just a short time it is succeeding in the competitive market by focusing entirely on sustainability.

It also plants trees through Eden Reforestation Projects to offset the carbon emissions it produces via shipping.

Aptly named, this bag is going to be your 24/7 savior. A water-repellent fabric protects against spills and weather. You can stay organized with the allocated pockets for shoes, laptop, and gear.

Yeti Crossroads Duffel Bag

You know Yeti for its coolers and bottles, but you're about to love it for its luggage. A water and abrasion-resistant exterior coupled with reinforced stitching makes this one of the most durable duffels on the market.

Mark & Graham 2-in-1 Garment Bag

This bag is literally a transformer. Going from garment bag to duffel, it helps to protect your clothing with its folding design. The smart silhouette even leaves room for two pairs of shoes to store at the side.

Mack Weldon Atlas Duffle

This reinforced canvas duffle will pass any test you put it through—from the gym to the plane. It has multiple pockets, one that's designated for shoes and the other for drinks and snacks ( remember to throw those out before you get to TSA ), and a slip-resistant bottom.
