If this is a duplicate of an existing thread, mods please delete. Otherwise, this could be a good resource for those who don't travel very often, and possibly for those of us who do.
I'll start with a few random products, brands, websites that I've found useful.
ebags.com has a good selection of luggage/backpacks. The ebags brand products are very good quality at mid range prices. If you want cheaper stuff just search the site for the best reviewed low price product you desire. They also have high end brands like Briggs and Riley.
New Balance shoes. Not the most stylish brand overall, but I have wide feet and they have shoes that fit me comfortably and last a long time.
Adidas boxer briefs. Comfortable and not very expensive.
Outlier. I just bought a pair of these trousers. Expensive, but they fit really well and they get rave reviews from many satisfied customers.
I'll have more to add later. I hope others will as well.

I liked my icebreaker merino underwear. Smartwool ones, not as much they were a little heavier. The smartwool merino low profile socks are a must for traveling.
If I was traveling for a really long time where you are sweating alot, I'd maybe recommend the V-necks, but for a week or so of travel, I'd just say go with a nice cotton V-neck/polo. I'm really into Uniqlo and Bonobos, personally.

I only wear Zara super slim fit t-shirts now.
Camper has cool, distinctive shoes that will last a long time. And women will notice.

If you want to dress smart, sperry makes brogue oxfords that rival some exclusive brands from only 100 bucks or so.
Banana Republic v necks, levi 527 jeans or h&m trousers.
I travel to 3rd world countries often, so these are my secret gears.
And I've befriended wealthy tourists and expats who can't tell that it's basically budget wear.
I use these since it won't break my heart if I get into a tussle or ejaculate on something and ruin it.
Girls always compliment. Always. And I'm short.

Try Asics as an alternative to New Balance. Similar design but improved style.

Upgraded my $1 open-toed, one-piece plastic no-brand sandals to $10 Japanese made imitation crocs with a rotating ankle loop. Not only do these bad boys save my toes from constantly being stubbed, but they’re secure enough for zip lines. I used to wear through $150 trainers once a month by wearing them around town. Then not be able to find my size abroad. Fuck that noise. I clean the mud off in the shower and they last for months. Do I have style. No.
As for brands of sneakers. It’s not about ASICS vs Nike so much as getting a model made for your arch type. Too many guys buy trainors based on looks. Not understanding there are three types of arches (flat, neutral, high) and usually they are coupled with cushioned or not. You can find your arch type by stepping out of the shower on a dark towel or inside of a cereals box. Heavy set guys or anyone over 175 usually needs cushioned. Road Runner Sports is the only reseller I’ve found that categorizes all their shoes by arch type. Plus they let you wear and return them. Once I find a series that works for me I tend to stick with it until it’s discontinued. Ordering online usually gives a choice of colors though if you want wide or double wide it’s usually the worst color.
I basically only buy clothes that offer at least some athletic performance. This kills almost anything with style. If you look at the golf section of stores like decathalon they often have tropical weight pants with two or four way stretch. Nice enough to wear for nightlife while traveling. Comfortable enough to hike or even sleep in if you have too.
For riding motorbikes I like a sun shirt with a zip up hood. Keeps the nasty rented helmet from direct contact while protecting me from the sun and dust all around. Solcool by ex officio is a good option. Unfortunately the elastic stretches out from being in the dryer and it looks like you’re auditioning for Last of the Mohicans.

The best underwear in the world is now Craft from Sweden. The quality of this underwear is benchmark.

My goto backpack is Cabin Max, designed to meet all airlines hand luggage specs. Never had it denied. It's ultra light as well and near indestructible.

You can buy decent underwear from REI. They have a decent quality to their brand and it’s significantly cheaper than other activewear. I try to buy from them every May when they do the anniversary sale.

I wear Frye cowboy boots, Saint Laurent Paris Suede Wyatt boots, or Crockett and Jones Tetbury chukkas. During the warmer months I wear Sperry topsiders or loafers.
Oxfords are too formal unless you're meeting up after work and wearing a suit.

Not all sperrys are the classic “boat shoe” style with a crappy leather tie up lace.
My go to sperry shoes are the loafers.
