How to Arrive at the Airport in Comfort and Style

Now that the holidays are over and winter has begun, many Northerners will be seeking sunny refuge.  People like to fly south just like the birds.  Age doesn’t matter.  Then again, there is air travel to be had at any time of the year for all sorts of reasons.  Whenever you fly, I’ll bet you’d like to arrive at the airport in comfort and style.  Well, I’ve got you covered.  Here’s your guide with six air travel tips and 30 outfit ideas for flying to and fro.  If you are a pro at this, we’d love to have you leave a reply below this blog post and share your tips for what works for you!

6 Tips For How to Arrive at the Airport in Comfort and Style —

1. Don’t forget a blanket scarf or shawl.  Even if you’re flying to a tropical island in Hades, it will be cold inside the plane.  For warm-weather trips, a large lighter-weight cotton scarf will suffice and won’t take up much room.
2. Wear shoes that are easy to slip off and back on as well as flat for fast and comfortable walking.  Try ballet flats, or preferably side-zip boots.
3. Slip on cute & cozy socks.  Make sure your socks are thick enough to brave the airplane cabin chills.  And if they’re in a print or color that matches your outfit, you won’t be embarrassed to show them off!
4. Pack a sleep mask or wear sunglasses to help you get a nap on the plane.  Or, you could even tie a bandanna or scarf around the handle of your bag and then tie it over your eyes when you want to sleep.
5. If you have an iPad, laptop or tablet, turn your tech case into a wallet.  Many fashion brands are making cases with extra pockets.
6. Opt for silk pants if possible.  They are lightweight, comfortable and adaptable to changing temperatures.   Silk regulates body temperature so it can be both warm and cozy or it can cool us down.  And it packs easily for the return trip.

What to Wear To and From the Airport to Arrive in Comfort and Style —

1. Recommended to have on the plane:  A shawl + lounge pants with a comfy top + warm socks.  Also bring a lightweight, refillable water bottle + a reviving face spray + a magazine.
2. An outfit formula:  1) A black knit blazer + 2) a solid longer-length t-shirt in a fluid fit, a graphic tee or a form-fitting tee + 3) any jeans in any style or color, faux leather pants, snakeskin leggings, knitted ponte pants or a jean skirt. 4) Add ankle boots or slipper flats + 5) a tote, cross-body, mini backpack or bucket bag. 6) You can then add a scarf or belt + jewelry, sunglasses, watch, etc.
3. From morning event to airport:  A black embellished tunic + black faux leather pants/leggings + leopard-print ankle boots.  You might like to belt the tunic, but I find it more comfortable to leave it loose for the flight.  Switch to high-top sneakers for the airport.

   

4. From airport straight to dinner:  A black pant set (matching top and pant) + a colorful blazer.  Add gold flats + a blanket shawl or warm jacket.
5. From airport straight to dinner:  Super-casual track pants + a dressy top, such as an embellished blouse or a gauzy blouse with billowy sleeves.
6. Flying from one warm place to another:  A striped tank top over a printed maxi skirt + flats.  Add a narrow bracelet and sunglasses if sunny.
7. Flying from one warm place to another:  A lightweight sweater over a white tank top + white pants.  Add flat sandals or espadrilles + a straw hat + a colorful tote bag + a delicate necklace and bangles + sunglasses.
8. Flying from one warm place to another:  A peasant top + skinny jeans + flats.  Add earrings + bracelets + sunglasses.
9. Flying from one warm place to another:  A flowing dress + flip flops.  Add a matching tote bag + necklaces + a straw hat + sunglasses.

   

10. An animal-print kimono or cardigan + a black top and black skinnies.  Add a tassel pendant and narrow bangle.  Wear flat shoes to the airport, but you may want to change into heels to go to dinner upon arrival at your destination.
11. Black ponte knit pants + an interesting black t-shirt + a kimono.  Add a long necklace + flat black moto boots or riding boots.
12. A maxi dress + a jean jacket.
13. A safari jacket + pants in a matching color + a pullover of knit or open knit or a blouse.  Throw a blanket shawl over your shoulder.  Add a trench coat + slip-on shoes.  Wear minimal makeup (BB cream, eye liner, blush, gloss.)  and do your makeup on arrival.
14. Patterned leggings + a cozy cardigan over a tank top.  Add metallic ballet flats.
15. A black moto jacket + a long graphic tee + black skinnies.  Add flat black studded booties.

20. A black t-shirt + black trousers.  Add black ballet flats or any other type of flats.
21. Layer breathable basics (cotton t-shirts, light wool sweaters) over stretchy jeans.  Add a drapey scarf, which can double as a blanket + slip-on ankle boots + comfy cozy socks.

25. Smarten up your scruffy jeans with a luxe (i.e., cashmere, etc.) sweater + an edgy coat (i.e., leather sleeves, etc.) + oxfords.  Go big and bold with a colorful bag.
26. A blazer + leggings + a long t-shirt.  Add flats + a solid-colored pashmina wrapped loosely around neck.

    

27. A sharp blazer (maybe even velvet) + a scarf or lightweight cashmere wrap + jeans or leggings.  Add flats, heels or riding boots.
28. Laid-back pants, such as joggers + a jean jacket with the cuffs rolled back + a tank top.  Add high-top sneakers + a printed scarf loosely wrapped around neck.
