When packing my carry-on, I consider three things: practicality, versatility, and creativity. Of course, the clothes need to be suitable for the trip and fit seamlessly in my luggage—but I also love curating specific outfits for my destination, ones that I might not otherwise wear at home. However, unless all of the items I select are wrinkle-resistant (which, let’s be honest, isn’t always realistic) sometimes even the best looks get derailed by unwanted wrinkles upon arrival.
Vogue’s Favorite Travel Steamers:
In This Article:
Sometimes, hotels will supply in-room steamers—however, in my experience, they’re usually less than ideal. Either they sputter all over my clothes, or don’t work at all. That’s where a reliable travel steamer can make all the difference. Below, I’ve compiled the best travel steamers available, based on my personal favorites and Vogue editor recommendations.
- Why we love it: After testing a couple of HiLife steamers, this one is definitively my favorite. It heats up nearly instantly (I was truly shocked), and has a steady stream of steam that distributes nicely across the large surface area of its spout. In fact, it can deliver steam for up to 20 minutes, which means you don’t need to refill it with water in the middle of de-wrinkling a garment. It’s worth noting that this steamer is best for traveling within the U.S. since it’s not compatible with international voltage.
- Water tank capacity: 10 ounces
