The Travelteq travel jacket, for example, is light, comfortable and reversible, with one side offering a more casual, the other a more formal look that will – in a pinch – do for a business meeting. The same goes for the ingenious dresspant sweatpants by Betabrand, made from French terry fabric. Not only are they comfortable on a  long plane, train or car journey, they also won't wrinkle, but will pass as suit pants (just about). A matching blazer is already in the works. Wear Travelwrap's comfy cashmere socks to warm against air conditioned cabins (dark colours that won't clash with a business outfit are available from autumn). Meanwhile, the best insurance against being left without the appropriate clothes due to lost luggage is a well-packed carry-on bag. These new travel bags by Anya Hindmarch bespoke luggage are roomy enough to fit a full outfit to change into upon arrival (including your favourite watches, which you can keep safe in a Thomas Lyte watch roll), as well as all your on-board essentials. The electronic Tumi luggage scales will help you ensure that you pack all you can, but not too much.
