If you read Who What Wear regularly, you know that we love to cover all aspects of airport style—from the best celebrity airport outfits to the items our editors never travel without as well as airport outfit "mistakes" to avoid. When it comes to traveling, a lot of people have an outfit they gravitate toward. Whether you err on the side of blazers and prefer a clean, minimalist aesthetic or go for leggings and a more casual, comfortable look, there are distinct characteristics that set each frequent flyer apart, making the airport just as much a sartorial spectacle as the streets. So with travel season upon us, we had a little fun and put together a seriously chic ensemble for every type of style. Scroll below to shop some of the chicest and most comfortable outfits to fly in this season.
You prefer a look that's smart, polished, and professional. You'd never leave home without a tailored blazer, a sharp-looking watch, and your laptop bag. Your ensembles are tasteful, efficient, and utilitarian. Your uniform means business.
