10 COMFY AIRPORT OUTFITS TO HIT THE RUNWAY IN STYLE

Travel takes a lot of planning, no matter the mode of transport. But one step that deserves attention is planning the perfect outfit to wear en route. The popularity of loose-fitting clothing and relaxed silhouettes makes it easier than ever to create a cozy airport look. 

Sweatpants, yoga pants, and hoodies are the classic comfy airport outfit for a reason. With the addition of subtle fashion details like logo socks or scarves, everyday wardrobe staples can be styled into a put-together look that holds up no matter what’s on the itinerary.

We’ve rounded up 10 outfit ideas and airport fashion tips to make dressing for the next trip easy and fun.

10 COMFY AIRPORT OUTFITS

Choosing what to wear to the airport takes a little creativity and inspiration, especially when intercontinental travel means moving from summer to winter in a single day. The best travel-ready looks are comfortable, versatile, and stylish enough to go from the cabin to the hotel and beyond.

These 10 combinations will keep you looking and feeling good on even the longest of treks:

Silk button-up shirt + silk pants + loafers

Long-sleeve silk sets make for great travel outfits. Whether in a solid tone or vibrant pattern, there’s a print and design to suit every preference. Finish the look with loafers and a matching silk sleep mask.

Oversized sweater + coordinating pants

Monochromatic sweaters and pants are an excellent way to look effortlessly polished. Complete the look with platform sneakers and a structured handbag.

Linen button-up + pants + sandals 

Lightweight fabrics are a must for jet-setting off to sunny destinations. Style a linen button-up shirt with matching linen pants or a colorful silk midi skirt. Finish the look with sandals and a wooden handbag or tote.

Baggy jeans + graphic T-shirt + sneakers

For an updated twist on a ’90s classic, look to the latest baggy jeans-and-graphic tee combos, which offer the ultimate in comfort for long trips. Cropped, wide-legged, or tapered at the ankle, baggy jeans come in a variety of cuts and washes to suit your style. Top off the look with a satin baseball jacket, sporty sneakers, and a belt bag.

Cropped cardigan + trousers + ballet flats

Ward off the notorious cabin chill with a cashmere cardigan that’s as cute as it is warm. Pair it with soft, stretchy trousers and ballet flats.

Sporty crew-neck sweater + biker shorts 

This casual athleisure look is comfortably composed. Select a crew neck with minimal detailing or a punchy logo. Style it with black biker shorts, designer logo socks, white sneakers, and a tote bag or backpack.

Blazer + joggers + sneakers

A blazer easily elevates any ensemble, even sweatpants or joggers. Combine black joggers with an earth-tone or gray plaid blazer, a simple tee, and white sneakers for the perfect dressy-casual look.

Leather jacket + tank top + leggings + boots

Leather jackets bring a touch of edginess to the classic travel look. Wear a simple white tank top as a base layer, then add a comfy pair of leggings and combat boots.

Denim jacket + cargo pants + sneakers

Let your style take flight in an oversized denim jacket and cargo pants. This look is best pulled off with a crop top or regular tee, any wash of denim, and your favorite style of cargo pants. Complete the look with designer velcro sneakers.

Sweater + maxi dress

Cable-knit sweaters and floral maxi dresses make a great pairing. This look is soft enough to wear during a long flight and fashionable enough to step off the runway, ready for any occasion. Simple zippered booties or flats are the perfect finishing touch.

THE INS AND OUTS OF AIRPORT FASHION

There’s no strict airport dress code, but there’s no turning back once you’ve boarded the plane. Keep these simple tips in mind when creating the perfect travel look.

Loose-fitting clothing

The next best thing to pajamas, loose-fitting clothes should be at the top of your packing list. In eye-catching colors and warm fabrics, such as wool, you’ll be ready for take-off in style. 

Stylish carry-ons 

Carry-ons keep all travel essentials within arm’s reach. The best carry-on bags have enough room for a passport, wallet, and toiletries. Select a stylish backpack, tote, or zippered duffel bag to keep belongings secure for the duration of the flight.

Warm layers 

All experienced travelers know the importance of bringing foundations, jackets, and cardigans. Cold venues and chilly breezes will make you grateful for the extra layers. Try topping a tank top or dress with a sweater, followed by an easy-to-pack jacket or coat.

Wrinkle-resistant fabrics

Stay crisp and polished throughout your journey by choosing fabrics, such as knits, wool, and silk, that never require ironing.

Travel jewelry

Many choose to leave their best jewelry behind, which offers up a great opportunity to buy pieces specifically meant for travel. From delicate necklaces and stud earrings to bold, colorful statement pendants and chunky bangles, start exploring the many options available from top brands. 

Jeggings

The skinny jean/legging hybrid always looks great and takes up little room in a suitcase. With plenty of styles featuring stretchy fibers, jeggings offer first-class style and comfort.

Slip-on shoes

Get to your gate on time by choosing efficient slip-on shoes rather than lace-ups. Flats, loafers, sandals, and laceless sneakers will help you breeze through security.
