7 Things Fashion Girls Will Never Stop Wearing to the Airport
Mastering the perfect airport look often requires a bit of expert styling finesse to properly strike that balance between comfort and cool. After all, while we undoubtedly want to remain cozy for a long flight, we also want that laid-back 'fit to reflect our fashion-forward sensibilities. To uncover these A+ travel looks, we turn to celebs and fashion girls alike for inspiration.
In reference to the latter, we realized that this crew routinely incorporates a few easy yet polished essentials into their looks to achieve their perfect airport ensembles. With that in mind, keep scrolling for a full breakdown on the seven pieces to consider working into your travel rotation to uncover your new go-to look. Plus, shop the finds as well to get ready for your next big trip.
It's no secret that leggings are one of the comfiest items you can opt for when it comes to travel thanks to their stretchy nature. To elevate the casual pants, fashion girls tend to pair them with smart separates like cool tops or blazers to streamline the silhouette.
An oversize scarf is a must for its versatility. It's not only stylish, but if you choose a large enough silhouette, it can also double as a blanket to combat those frigid airplane temperatures.
An instant way to look put-together? Top off any look with a bold statement coat. You can basically wear anything underneath and still come across fashion-forward
You'll notice throughout all of the imagery here that one of the must-haves for a fashion girl is sleek, hard-sided luggage. We often see these pieces over soft-sided duffels these days.
While ankle boots and sandals are also airport shoe go-tos, we see sneakers more than any other footwear because they're comfortable, easy to slip on and off through security, and cool in nature.
Aside from actual luggage, crossbody bags are also a must to not only accentuate an outfit but also to keep all of your essentials—ID, phone, boarding passes, and so on—in one safe place.
In addition to leggings, we also see jeans as a travel staple. While many styles can be too stiff and constricting, stretchy, loose styles are more practical.
