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 realistic) sometimes even the best looks get derailed by unwanted wrinkles upon arrival. That’s where planning ahead with one of the best travel steamers can make all the difference.
Vogue’s Favorite Travel Steamers:
Sometimes, hotels will supply in-room steamers—however, in my experience, they’re usually less than ideal. Either they sputter all over my clothes, have finicky steam settings, or don’t work at all. Circumvent all this by packing a travel garment steamer that you already know how to use; no borrowed ironing board (or improvised hair dryer) required. Below, I’ve compiled the best travel steamers available for wrinkle removal on the go, 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
- Weight: 2.6 pounds
- Why we love it: I bought this steamer on a whim a couple months ago, but I’ve been really happy with its efficacy and ease of use. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to maneuver around pant legs, shirt sleeves, and more. Plus, I appreciate that while it heats up in seconds, you can choose to release steam with a simple press of a button, rather than work with a nonstop stream.
