With summer travel in full swing, I decided to look through the accounts of the fashion set to find easy outfits that would be perfect for my next flight and, of course, share the wealth here. With the outfit formulas below, you'll soon be skilled in perfecting the ideal airport look.
Keep reading for nine airport outfits you won't regret. From matching knit sets to linen pants galore, you'll be prepared to jet off to your trip in no time. (And when you reach your destination, we've also got you covered on that front.)
You can just tell she's comfortable from the photo, no? Princess Diana coined this 'fit, and for good reasons. If you get a little chilly or want to be more covered, maybe switch out the shorts for leggings.
When you're traveling, there are already so many things on your mind. Make your outfit the easiest thought by getting matching pieces to throw on without thinking. (Bonus points if the set involves layers so you can adjust to the plane temperature.)
Soft materials like linen are the way to go when traveling in the summertime. While you'd normally add a pair of trousers, think ribbed knits or matching linen pants for the flight.
Simple but extremely comfortable. It gets the job done.
What's comfier than a breezy T-shirt? Find one with a cool graphic or print, and all you'll need to add are relaxed jeans and sneakers.
Layers are key for traveling because airplanes can either be freezing or hot, and you need to be prepared.
Athleisure is always a good pick for a comfy 'fit that looks put-together.
Create a juxtaposition in your look by matching "tailored" pieces like a button-down with loose lounge shorts.
Paired with the right shirt, comfy printed pants don't give the tired look of pajamas but feel like pajamas, so you'll be sleeping peacefully on your next flight.
