These days, your holiday wardrobe includes your airport attire just as much as the rest. Instead of simply donning your biggest sunglasses and favorite joggers to board a plane, travelers today must be both comfortable and fashionable as they make their way to the runway.
Airport costume inspiration has quickly grown in popularity since the emergence of jet-setting influencers. It’s all about arriving in style, similar to street style. And let’s face it, finding an outfit for the airport that works for both coming off a plane in the blazing sun and a 6 a.m. frigid British morning might be the roughest of sartorial tests. Additionally, the temperatures on airplanes vary dramatically; they might be scalding hot one minute and frigid cold the next.
“We’ve noticed a 100% rise in womenswear inquiries for ‘airport’-related goods compared to last year. However, transitioning from gloomy, chilly weather to warm climates may make airport attire a bit of a minefield, according to Farrah-May Archer Boadi, Styling Team Lead at Stitch Fix. “Comfort is a major factor in airport attire. Make sure to wear items with some elastane in them to provide additional stretch and, ultimately, more comfort if tight leggings or slim jeans are an important part of your particular style.
Always pack a jacket when packing for the airport. It’s beneficial to have the choice of a warmer layer because there are many varied temperatures to deal with across various airports and locales. Additionally, it can serve as a blanket or cushion if you are delayed. To have a place to put your garments as you take them off, it is advantageous to bring a large bag for hand luggage. To reduce room in your primary case, take a pair of heels or your favorite chunky sandals along with a backup wardrobe in case your suitcase disappears. When traveling, limit the number of accessories you bring because having to empty them at security can be a hassle.
