Lindsey Puls
Lindsey Puls covers fashion and travel through a consumer lens, focusing on what is actually worth buying, packing and visiting rather than treating style and destinations as abstractions. Her work bridges wardrobe advice, product testing, expert commentary and travel planning, turning rankings, studies and online conversations into concrete guidance on outfits, gear and trips. She publishes across Yahoo, MSN, the AP Wire and her site Have Clothes, Will Travel, where she concentrates on travel, style and offbeat internet trends.
Shopping guides and product reviews
Puls is an online shopping specialist, framing her fashion writing around detailed guides, honest reviews and curated lists of products she has personally tested or closely evaluated.
On Have Clothes, Will Travel she describes her work as “carefully curated online shopping guides and tips, detailed reviews, and outfit ideas,” emphasizing clarity and practicality over aspirational styling. Recent pieces include a long-term assessment of one brand’s linen line, where she revisits her initial skepticism about specific pants after extended wear, and a multi-year look at what is actually worth buying from a popular value-focused retailer.
She regularly assembles focused roundups such as “These are the 12 pairs of underwear women swear by for travel” and “15 Best Places to Buy Christmas Decorations Online,” using specific product examples to solve narrow, everyday problems - from comfortable undergarments that work in transit to reliable holiday decor sources. Her shopping coverage often tracks “Amazon must-haves” and other viral recommendations, sorting which under-$30 purchases genuinely make daily life easier and which are noise. Across these pieces, the emphasis stays on fit, comfort, durability and whether a purchase earns its place in a suitcase or wardrobe.
Fashion trends, wardrobe staples and sizing
Within fashion, Puls focuses on how trends intersect with real wardrobes, often testing “classic” advice against current expert thinking and data-driven studies. In her Yahoo work, she examines a fashion expert’s claim that seven long-recommended wardrobe staples have become outdated, comparing that guidance against her own experience and expectations and ultimately rethinking pieces she once viewed as untouchable basics.
She also covers seasonal trend stories such as “A Fashion Expert Shares the 6 Biggest Bag Trends of Summer 2026 - and How to Wear Them,” breaking down which silhouettes and styles are gaining traction and how to integrate them into daily outfits rather than treating them as runway-only concepts.
Her reporting extends to functional style, including an article explaining how wearing more clothing layers can keep people cooler in a heatwave, translating technical fabric and coverage insights into concrete outfit strategies. In a separate study-led feature on clothing sizes, she walks readers through new research on the best and worst brands for sizing consistency and where a size 10 runs unusually small, anchoring the piece in specific findings while highlighting the frustration of unpredictable fit. The through-line in these fashion stories is a mix of expert sources and lived-in testing, aimed at helping readers update what they own, understand why some old rules no longer work, and navigate inconsistent sizing with fewer surprises.
Destination guides and itineraries
Puls is equally active in travel, where she writes in-depth guides that combine structured itineraries with practical, on-the-ground detail. On Have Clothes, Will Travel she publishes multi-day city plans such as a three-day Chicago itinerary and a broader “Weekend trip to Chicago” guide, emphasizing which neighborhoods to focus on and how to leave enough time to actually enjoy each stop.
Her travel archive spans North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, with pieces ranging from “14 Fun Things to Do in Bangkok for First-Time Visitors” and “18 Fun Things to Do in Thailand You’ll Be Talking About for Years” to detailed packing lists for Ireland, Jordan and Thailand. She writes destination features like “25+ BEST Things to Do in Cappadocia, Turkey” and “10 Days in Greece for First-Time Visitors,” balancing marquee attractions with slower experiences such as cycling Sweden’s Göta Canal or exploring Dalarna instead of the Alps.
On Yahoo, she produces reported travel stories tied to rankings and studies - covering WalletHub’s list of the best foodie cities in America, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2027 destinations, and a new study naming the world’s most welcoming city, while adding her own perspective on what those numbers mean for actual trips.
Her travel pieces often incorporate her personal itineraries, from an eight-day land-based Galápagos trip and a Rwanda gorilla trek to stays at distinctive properties like a viral giraffe hotel in Kenya, threading firsthand lessons into broader advice. Across these guides, she writes in a straightforward, itinerary-focused style that foregrounds logistics, cost, and experience alongside scenery.
Quirky internet and travel culture stories
A distinct strand of Puls’s work looks at how travelers and consumers talk online, turning Reddit threads, ranking studies and viral debates into stories about changing habits. She has covered travelers who switched from short-term rentals back to hotels, collecting warnings and frustrations from people who now say the trade-offs are no longer worth the hassle. Other pieces examine internet conversations around major events and celebrity culture, including warnings from people who have braved the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball drop, lists of celebrities passengers absolutely do not want to sit next to on a plane, and reactions to a marathon handing medals to runners who stopped at mile 18.
She also writes about unusual rules and rankings - such as Kenya’s high travel insurance requirement and a list of the ten noisiest states in America - using these findings to explore how policy and environment affect everyday experiences. Seasonal and forecast-driven stories, like an analysis of the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s winter predictions or the return of North America’s only ice restaurant, continue this theme of mapping data and novelty onto real-world travel decisions.
In these pieces, Puls keeps the tone grounded and observational, distilling noisy online conversations into clear takeaways about comfort, expectations and how people actually want to travel.
Have Clothes, Will Travel as a hub
Have Clothes, Will Travel functions as Puls’s central hub, tying together her fashion, shopping and travel reporting.
The site’s about text presents her as an online shopping aficionado who combines outfit ideas with extensive travel guides for places she has lived and visited, from Wisconsin to Argentina and beyond. The archives show a consistent mix of packing lists, destination breakdowns, hotel and tour reviews, and brand-specific fashion content, all written in accessible language with an emphasis on practical detail. This body of work mirrors her description on Yahoo, where she is introduced as the creator of Have Clothes, Will Travel and as someone who writes about travel, style and quirky internet trends, sharing shopping tips, product reviews and offbeat guides across platforms.
Together, these channels present a coherent profile: a journalist who uses fashion and travel as entry points to answer concrete questions about what to buy, what to wear and how to spend limited time and money.
