15 Best Travel Deals From TJ Maxx and Marshalls

Some people’s hidden talents are wiggling their ears, juggling, or having a photographic memory. Mine? Finding the absolute best deals on top-tier products at retailers like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of snagging hard-to-find items (sometimes from designer brands) for a fraction of the original price. And, while treasure hunting in-store is a part of the fun, here’s the insider secret: their websites are just as stacked with inventory and markdowns. If you didn’t already know, both retailers have a hidden “clearance on clearance” section with deep discounts on the already steep sale prices. The result? Travel clothes, genius accessories, comfy shoes, and even name-brand luggage at prices as low as $5.

Half of my travel gear is from TJ Maxx and Marshalls’ for this reason, which is why I’m here to share the wealth with you. If you have a trip coming up, are looking to refresh your spring travel wardrobe, or just in the mood to browse, I pulled 15 travel-ready products at newly added prices you can’t get anywhere else, including from editor-loved brands like Sam Edelman, New Balance, and Cole Haan.

The form-fitting, ultra-soft stretch fabric and flattering neckline of the Chelden Turtleneck Dress deliver a polished look from departure to arrival. Style it with sneakers and a crossbody bag for long travel days, or swap in sandals and sunnies when temperatures rise. It’s a true wear-everywhere staple that layers effortlessly and shines just as bright solo, now 76 percent off at Marshall’s. 

There’s no excuse not to keep your toiletries organized when this Eddie Bauer Voyager Kit costs just $5 at Marshall’s. It features one spacious main compartment and two interior slip pockets to keep your essentials neat, so everything stays in its place and is easy to grab on the go. You might as well snag one for your skincare and another to use as a tech bag while the price is this good.

T+L-loved brand New Balance is rarely on sale, let alone under $60—making this TJ Maxx clearance find a deal you won’t want to pass up, especially for the frequent flier. Complete with a cushioned footbed, grippy traction sole, and breathable knit upper, these sneakers provide smooth strides while exploring new cities, tackling scenic trails, or strolling through a museum tour. 

A lightweight, transitional jacket is a winter-to-spring staple, which is where this hooded anorak by Sam Edelman comes in—and it’s now a shocking 74 percent off. The drawstring hood and storm flap will keep you dry in stormy weather, while the weightless polyester lining makes for an easy, wrinkle-free pack no matter where you’re heading. 

As a frequent traveler, layers are a non-negotiable part of my packing list, and cardigans have reigned supreme as the most versatile, fashion-forward option I’ve tried. So if you don’t already own one, this find from TJ Maxx is a fail-proof buy that delivers style without weighing on your wallet. For just $10, this lightweight knit pairs well with denim, layers over loungewear, and even doubles as a makeshift airplane blanket as cabin temperatures fluctuate. 

Strut hands-free through the airport with the Sol & Selene Nylon Backpack, now at a whopping 78 percent off from Marshall’s “clearance on clearance” section. Spacious enough to comfortably fit all of your in-flight essentials, yet compact enough not to strain your back, it strikes the perfect balance for travel. Take advantage of its roomy main compartment, three interior pockets, two exterior pockets, and two side water bottle sleeves for your next trip, office commute, or night at the library. 

Sneakers aren’t the only travel-ready shoe that provides all-day comfort and cool-girl style. The $82 off Bernardo Leather Sage Penny Loafers are crafted with a cushioned footbed, sturdy outsole, and durable leather lining for sneaker-level comfort in a sleek loafer silhouette. Finished with a stylish crinkle trim and trendy metallic sheen, they’re undeniably fashion-forward, leaving you the best dressed at the airport and beyond. 

A comfort-first airplane outfit doesn’t always have to mean slouchy, oversized loungewear. It all comes down to pieces with pajama-like fabrics in flattering shapes, like breathable, stretchy, wide-leg pants that move with you. Enter: the $10 Adrianna Papell Pleated Pants, a streamlined, versatile wear that looks polished, feels comfortable, and goes with just about everything, like blazers and heels for the office or a sweater and sneakers for casual outings.

 My favorite part about spring (besides the warmer weather) is finally getting to style bulk-free jackets. The Ellen Tracy Boxy Denim Jacket is in my cart for exactly that—and for its standout 72 percent off price tag. Offering a more modern, refined twist on the classic everyday jean jacket, this layer features a faux leather trim, gold-tone hardware, and contrast stitching for a can’t-miss travel staple you’ll reach for again and again. 

For those trips that are too short for a rolling suitcase, but too long for just a backpack, a weekender bag is the perfect choice. With multiple compartments in a sleek, stylish puffer design, the Urban Expressions Kris Weekender keeps everything organized and within easy reach, all while staying compact enough to carry comfortably. At just $22, it even includes a bottom zip pocket for shoes, making it easy to pack what usually feels impossible to squeeze in. 

One of the steepest clearance steals I spotted, the 82 percent off Reformation Leather Willa Pumps are about to become your new go-to travel shoe. Their low-profile design pairs effortlessly with any kind of pants, while the light pink leather accents add a subtle pop of color to the classic white exterior. But don’t let its fashion-forward look fool you—they’re just as comfortable as your favorite workout sneaker, thanks to the cushioned footbed, grippy sole, and breathable perforated details. 

If you didn’t already know, Marshalls sells durable suitcases fit for your next trip and beyond. One standout find? The 24-inch Timeless Hardside Spinner by Jessica Simpson is hiding in the clearance section for just $38. Expandable and equipped with interior compression straps, it takes the stress out of packing (an overpacker’s dream!). 

If you have a long-haul or redeye flight on the horizon, the Yogalicious Cargo Joggers have you covered. The soft, stretchy fabric will have you feeling ultra cozy, even in the most uncomfortable airplane seat, while the included cargo pockets are both stylish and practical for storing airport essentials like your phone, wallet, and ID; plus, it’s now on clearance for just $10. 

My biggest advice as a frequent traveler? Don’t go anywhere without a crossbody bag. Especially when exploring new areas and crowded city streets, you’ll want to keep all of your items within reach, and preferably, in front of you, so you avoid pickpockets. Thankfully, TJ Maxx has a handful of compact crossbodies at standout discounts, like this Cole Haan leather bag, down to under $80. The gold-tone chain, pebbled finish, and stunning burgundy colorway will complement any outfit, while also keeping important belongings safe.

Ditch your restrictive, zero-stretch jeans for the 71 percent off Dash & Blue Pull-on Pants, which are essentially sweatpants in disguise. Lined with cozy French terry and featuring a breathable elastic waistband, they offer complete freedom of movement while keeping you looking polished on your travels and beyond. Plus, the zipper and button closure are purely decorative—you just need to pull these pants on, and you’re ready for takeoff.
