I'm a Travel Editor Who Swears By Breezy Linen Sets for Summer—and This $26 One Needs to Be on Your Radar

Travel + Leisure13 hours ago
Linen is having a real moment this summer. My Instagram feed is jam-packed with posts of stylish friends and celebrities wearing linen dresses, button-down shirts, and pants everywhere from the lavender fields of Provence to the Amalfi Coast. Unfortunately, apparel made with the luxury fabric can often be pricey, especially for items you may only wear a few months out of the year. That's why I took my search for the perfect linen set to Amazon, and I was not let down.
After careful selection, I chose a two-piece short set for a recent trip to Savannah with a friend and fellow editor. I wanted something airy and preferably a set with shorts that offered me enough coverage for different occasions and activities, but that would also keep me cooler than pants. This set has since gone out of stock, but I've found an identical set that's even more affordable, the Yming Two-piece Linen Set. At just $26, it's a total steal.
When my friend and I met at the hotel lobby to start our day with a bike ride that would eventually end with a whiskey tasting in the evening, we were shocked to discover that we had on identical sets from Amazon! I wore the khaki version, while my friend opted for the black. Yes, we were twinning—and no, no one changed. We both wanted to wear something comfortable since we'd be out for hours exploring, and the outfit is just that good.
The Yming Two-piece Linen Set is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear, especially in the summer months when it starts to get unbearably hot and humid. While I first busted out my linen set in Savannah, I have also more recently rocked it in Florida in 90-degree temperatures—and I wasn't dying to take it off. The fabric kept me as cool, didn't show sweat, and remained polished after hours of wear—sightseeing, riding beach cruisers, and gorging on southern delicacies. The Yming version has a similar fabric blend, but with the benefit of cotton for extra breathability.

The tank has a modern square neck, and while it has a slightly cropped and boxy fit, I find it flattering and easy to move in. Plus, it's just long enough to tuck the front into the shorts if you want more of a tailored look. The shorts feature an elastic waistband and side zipper for easy on and off, and the length is perfect. The flattering pleats on the front make them easy to dress up or down. Not to mention, they have pockets—what's not to like?
Given the affordable price tag and material, I recommend washing the set in cold water and air drying to avoid the fabric shrinking.
Thanks to the set's versatility, you can wear it just about anywhere. A reviewer wrote that it looks "so pretty on," adding that they "love that you can dress it up." I've seen travelers opt for this style for everyday wear and European summers.

The identical top and shorts I own truly might be the hardest-working garments in my carry-on, since they can also be worn with other items in my vacation wardrobe to free up packing space or help me travel light. I can pair the square-neck top with a sleek pair of denim and block heels for nighttime and wear the shorts as a swimsuit cover-up with a flowy button-down shirt. The outfit options are endless.
With two months left of summer, you don't want to sleep on this stylish Yming Two-piece Linen Set. And now that you've discovered how convenient sets make getting dressed and packing for trips, you might be looking for more comfy and stylish options to add to your travel wardrobe. Keep scrolling for more lightweight Amazon two-piece sets for summer.
At the time of publishing, the price started at $26.

Amazon Has a Farmhouse-inspired Tiny House With a Front Porch, Solar Panels, and Lots of Windows for Under $10K

I love to imagine what my dream house would look like. In case you're wondering, it has multiple bedrooms, a closet with enough space for my clothes and luggage collection, and an outdoor space to host friends. Amazon's outdoor store has a hidden section filled with customizable tiny house kits—from two-story options to ranch styles—that let you design your own home. So people like me, a frequent flier who prefers to use any spare change on traveling, can still have that dream home and see the world. I recently spotted a contemporary tiny house at Amazon that checks off all requirements, and it's less than $12,000. The design reminds me of a modern farmhouse, with its floor-to-ceiling windows that'll drench the space in natural light, and a fully covered front porch that's perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset after a long day of work. It comes practically move-in ready too, with plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen cabinets, and a full bathroom at no extra cost. Insulation is also added to the windows, doors, and walls, so you can save time and money doing it yourself. The manufacturer, Zhong Machinery, also lets you customize the house to your unique taste—no contractor needed. The tiny house can be as large as 800 square feet and have as many as three bedrooms. These additions do come at an extra cost, but it's worth it if you need more space or want a home office and a guest bedroom. Lily Wang, a product manager for the brand, confirmed that the home can also include solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system. Both will require you to install them, but they'll help cut down your water and electricity costs. You'll just need to contact Zhong Machinery through WhatsApp before you purchase the home. Building the tiny house is also quick and easy. It has a foldable design that doesn't require building it piece-by-piece (unlike traditional houses). Just unfold the walls and connect them together—no sawing, drilling, or hard hat required. Shop this tiny house kit under $12,000, and check out must-have home decor and accessories at Amazon to make your new house feel like a cozy home. Love a great deal?

A crossbody like this Sak crossbody purse is easier to keep an eye on in a crowded tourist area than a larger purse—and it's an amazing 40 percent off now. It can convert to a wristlet when you need it and offers peace of mind, which we know, especially when traveling, is priceless. Sleep doesn't come easily to me at home, so when traveling, it gets even harder. The unfamiliar surroundings, background sounds, and hotel room lights don't help, and the bed feels different, which always takes getting used to. I rely on handy travel accessories, like a good portable white noise machine, to get some shut-eye in my hotel room, and a comfy neck pillow and eye mask to rest on flights. These and other helpful travel accessories are on sale ahead of Prime Day, including portable chargers, packing cubes, and more. Veken 8 Set Packing Cubes, $20 (originally $30) MZoo Sleep Eye Mask, $20 (originally $29) Lexsion Felt Purse Bag Organizer Insert, $8 (originally $33) Hibag Vacuum Storage Bags, $20 (originally $30) Anker USB-C Wall Charger, $30 (originally $40) Bagail Compression Packing Cubes, $19 (originally $28) Dreamegg Portable White Noise Machine, $19 (originally $25) Lewis N. Clark TSA Approved Bike Lock, $13 (originally $16) Epicka Universal Travel Adapter, $23 (originally $25) Napfun Neck Pillow for Traveling, $16 (originally $22) Jemluse Wireless CarPlay Adapter, $50 (originally $80) One of my good friends and her husband just embarked on a carry-on-only two-week trip to Portugal. Their packing secret? They used vacuum storage bags. These save so much space and meant she was able to pack a lot more cute dresses than she may have otherwise, and at $20 for 10 bags, I think she'll be stocking up on even more. Long flights, especially overnight ones when you're trying to get some sleep, can be really hard on the body, and rest feels nearly impossible. But a good neck pillow can make all the difference; at just $16, this memory foam pillow is supportive and will prevent the dreaded head bob while snoozing in your seat. It's important to be prepared to stay safe on rugged terrains and in unfamiliar surroundings, and that involves bringing the right outdoor gear to stay safe in the sun and protected in wet weather. There are deals on hiking and camping gear this Prime Day, including items like the Hiearcool Waterproof Phone Pouch to protect your phone and the Welly First Aid Kit to address any small cuts from the trail. There are also gadgets to keep you comfortable outdoors, like the FrSara Neck Fan, which is only $27 (originally $34) and a smart investment. I don't have an air conditioner and I even have one I use in my own apartment, but it's such an asset when exploring the outdoors on those hot and humid summer days. FrSara Neck Fan, $27 (originally $34) Welly First Aid Kit, $14 (originally $15) Yuzonc Camping Sleeping Pad, $30 (originally $50) Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station, $449 (originally $799) Coleman Sundome Camping Tent, $90 (originally $118) Rodcirant 20x25 Binoculars, $27 (originally $40) Newraturner Portable Clothesline With 12 Clothespins, $10 (originally $18) Hiearcool Waterproof Phone Pouch, 2-pack, $12 (originally $14) Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo Sound, $30 (originally $40) Nuovoware Water Bottle Carrier Bag, $13 (originally $20) Running out of power—or having no access to power—is scary enough at home, but it's a nightmare on the road. At $449 (originally $799), this portable power station is a must for campers, as it can power anything from air conditioners to fridges, but it can also keep your phone and other devices charged, which can literally save your life in dangerous situations. If you're camping, you're probably going to want to hang your wet clothes at some point. This is also true if you are at the beach or the pool and don't want to pack wet swimwear. This portable clothesline is a bargain at $10 (originally $18) and just what you need to come home without wet, mildewy-smelling luggage. Love a great deal?
