Compression socks are a great hack when flying. Judy's feet and ankles would swell on long-haul flights and it would take days for that to come back to normal. These compression socks prevent that from happening. They're a bit intimidating to put on for the first time, but it gets easier once you get the hang of it. Judy prefers the all black, but they come in a variety of colors. GET THIS GEAR

Judy needed a single pair of sandals that she could dress up or down while still feeling comfortable walking long distances. This beautiful, strappy leather sandal is bound to be the new trophy in your wardrobe. The fully adjustable straps to help accommodate different widths as well as insteps.

Judy was nervous to deviate from the Hoka Clifton 9s that alleviated all her foot pain/plantar fasciitis. But she wanted something not quite so rugged to wear with casual dresses and skirts. These are super comfy for a day of touring. They didn't need any breaking-in period for me and clean up very easily. Color: Extra White with Sun Peach. GET THIS GEAR

Judy's feet have been transformed by these Hoka Clifton 9s that we bought in Broughty Ferry in April 2022. She had been wearing some zero drop shoes and had excruciating foot pain. Literally overnight she could walk long distances again pain free. The Clifton 9s are the perfect balance. Also, the bottoms have good traction, even on wet surfaces. GET THIS GEAR

Judy recently found this thinner version of the bike shorts she loves and uses under her dresses and skirts. These aren't really meant to be worn on their own, but they perform perfectly. They aren't restricting at the waist or the thighs, but the waist doesn't roll and the thighs stay put! Best of all, you'll stay cool on the longest, sweatiest walks with no chafing! GET THIS GEAR

This Willow Swing Dress was Judy's first introduction to Wool& and their merino wool. Hers is Washed Navy. The 3/4 length sleeves are perfect and the fabric is lightweight. In cooler weather, you may want to pair this swing dress with leggings. GET THIS GEAR

Judy's favorite color is plum, so it's no surprise that this was the second merino wool item she had to buy from Wool&. Although it's a swing dress, it’s got a slimmer cut, short sleeves, and a scoop neck. Judy loves the pockets to hold her phone. GET THIS GEAR

These bike shorts are true work horses. They are great for hiking, biking, and whatever sports activities you can throw at them. That's because they're fully OPAQUE and have POCKETS! But the majority of the time, Judy wears them under dresses and skirts for modestly and to prevent chafing, regardless of how many miles we walk each day. GET THIS GEAR

Judy loves this fitted and stylish midi length dress. Hers is in black for the most versatility. It's modest for temples thanks to its elbow length sleeves and longer length, and the V-neckline isn't too low. It also is elegant enough for a date night! GET THIS GEAR

Judy loves the wearability of her Merino wool outfits. This dress is Sierra, which is super versatile and super cozy. It's a little warmer than some of her other dresses, but she sometimes wears a tee underneath. It is a great transitional season dress or for mornings that are a little chilly. The Merino wool is cut into a French Terry fabric. The A-line silhouette dress has patch pockets and a crew neckline. GET THIS GEAR

Judy loves the relaxed fit of this scoop neck t-shirt. It's smoother than your typical tee, and has a nice, relaxed fit. Its cap sleeves work great in cooler weather or as an underlay. The version in white is more of an ivory and it's also fairly see-through. Great as a layering piece, though. GET THIS GEAR

Judy bought these skirts after many travelers recommended them for their easy care, no-wrinkle fabric, how quickly they dry, that they have pockets and multiple lengths. Custom fabric that does not cling, flatters almost every figure, repels water, and dries quickly if soaked. Quick Wrap Velcro closure for easy-on, easy-off. No stepping through with wet sandy feet. 2 Phone-sized hip pockets for convenient and versatile storage of your essentials. GET THIS GEAR

Judy considers this soft merino wool v-neck tee an essential in her travel wardrobe. It's a semi-fitted style compared to her Stella scoop neck shirts. The weight is perfect and is a 78/22 blend for extra durability and easy care. GET THIS GEAR

Judy's here to change your mind if you think wool is only for winter. She alternated this sleeveless Plum dress with an identical version in Marine Blue for nearly a year beginning in the summer in Europe straight through some of the hottest weather in Southeast Asia. This swing fit style is fitted around the chest, then flares into a roomy, A-line silhouette. GET THIS GEAR

Judy lived in this jacket during our fall trip to Japan. It's a little stretchy but structured, stylish, comfortable, has great pockets and is best of all breathable when some of the days warmed up. It has an asymmetrical zippered front with a zipper pull that locks in place. Mine is Washed Navy, but also comes in Black and Aegean Teal. GET THIS GEAR

Judy has been wearing this Wool& Grove v-neck tank as daywear, even though it's technically a lounge/sleep tank. You can buy a matching set of shorts, but it works effortlessly on its own. The composition is slightly different than most of our merino clothes because it has a higher percentage of Tencel, which provides a cooling effect against the skin. It has a silky smooth drape that resists wrinkles. GET THIS GEAR

These Livia scoop neck fitted tanks are a new addition to Judy's kit. She likes the wider shoulder straps so that her bra straps are concealed. Because they are slim fit, they are a nice layering piece as well. Judy has one in black and also in thyme. These also can be used as activewear, so they're pretty versatile. Unlike a lot of Judy's wool clothes, the Livia is 100% merino wool. GET THIS GEAR

If you're looking for an upscale long-sleeved tee, this Wool& Merino wool shirt with its sweet, subtle ruching at the neckline will become the cozy tee you reach for most. Judy had a similar looking shirt from Lands End, but the silky but comfy shirt feels and looks just a bit more upscale and blends beautifully into every travel situation. GET THIS GEAR
