A Chic Lightweight Jacket For Travel

May 7, 2025May 9, 2025 Updated onMay 9, 2025 Fashion

When I travel, I always pack a lightweight, easy-care, wrinkle-resistant jacket for a rainy day or chilly evening. My Clara Sunwoo Liquid Leatherโ„ข jacket checks all of the boxes! Here’s why you might want one for your next trip…

Disclosure: Clara Sunwoo kindly gifted me Liquid Leatherโ„ข jackets, and I may earn a small commission if you shop by clicking on the links in this post(or using my code NIPA10). Thank you – your support allows me to keep creating free content!

What Is Liquid Leatherโ„ข?

Liquid Leatherโ„ข is a signature knit fabric created by Clara Sunwoo. It’s not leather or pleather, but a lightweight polyester blend with a leather-like finish. Unlike leather, Liquid Leatherโ„ข is washable (see below). It’s also lightweight and wrinkle-resistant, so you can roll this jacket up in your travel bag or everyday tote.

A Few Helpful Tips To Care For Your Liquid Leatherโ„ข

  • Prewash: Clara Sunwoo recommends washing your Liquid Leatherโ„ข jacket by hand or on a delicate cycle (cold) before wear.
  • Dry: Hang your jacket up to dry (or lay flat).
  • Steam: If you need to steam your jacket, use a low heat setting and steam carefully on the inside. Steam can damage the finish on the outside of the jacket
  • Protect: The special finish on Liquid Leatherโ„ข makes it prone to color transfer from other clothing and accessories. So if you have a light colored jacket and dark jeans with a color transfer warning, pack them separately!

The Liquid Leatherโ„ข Signature Jacket

I’m wearing The Liquid Leatherโ„ข Signature Jacket in Pink (size Small), which gives me plenty of room to wear a t-shirt or a lightweight sweater underneath. (For reference, I’m just under 5’4″ and about 125 lbs right now).

This moto-style jacket is available in 15 colors and can be worn with jeans, pants, dresses, and skirts. Wear it as your outer layer in the spring or summer, or wear it under a coat in the fall or winter.

It was also one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2021!

Other Lightweight Travel Jacket Styles

There are a number of other Liquid Leatherโ„ข styles you can choose from:

  1. If you prefer a cropped style, try the Liquid Leatherโ„ข Zip Cuff Moto Waist Jacket
  2. The Drape Neck Zip Jacket can be zipped up into an elegant funnel-neck style.
  3. For an edgy look, you might like the Studded Jacket.
  4. Prefer a blazer? Take a look at the Signature Pocket Blazer.

Add one of these lightweight jackets to your travel capsule, or when the weather is unpredictable. Roll your jacket up and tuck it away in your bag when you don’t need it.

How would you style your Liquid Leatherโ„ข jacket? Let me know below…

Think ballet flats are basic? I did too until I sa Think ballet flats are basic? I did too until I saw what's new for fall.  High-vamp, lace-up, even pointe-shoe-inspired flats are arriving this fall. 

Comment BLOG if you'd like to see what I've found. As someone who doesn't like to wear heels most days, I love that ballet flats work with almost every outfit.

Bur I'm noticing chilly mornings and earlier sunsets, so I know that fall is around the corner. While I don't want to rush these last weeks of summer, I'm pretty excited to see those gorgeous fall colors. 

Are you in summer mode or fall mode?
