“You know, if you dress up at the airport you will actually be taken care of perfectly. You’ll be the one who the stewards look after the most.” – Carolina Herrera.
Even if being treated well by the stewards is not on your agenda, your holiday starts when you step into the terminal. Not only is it smart to dress comfortably for the journey, but looking chic, while being stuffed on a plane for long hours, also induces a sense of confidence and makes you feel fancy and important. You definitely don’t want to be looking like a rumpled mess when you arrive at an international airport.
Inspired from the high fliers around the globe, here are the trending ensembles and airport looks you will need to travel in style:
1. Denims

Denims are most easy to create a style statement. Differentiate yourself from the crowd with a pair of high waist or distressed jeans and a neutral color tank top. If you prefer trousers instead of jeans, pick dark colors and fabrics that do not wrinkle easily. Finish the look with a matching jacket to create a chic look These days leggings and skirts are also making quite a statement at the terminals. Try a maxi skirt with a t-shirt; the best part is all of these looks are both comfortable and fashionable.
2. Jacket

Layer as much as you can, as I am sure you will agree that airports are always cold. Ditch your sweatshirt and carry a smart jacket instead. Alternatively, you can create a boho-glam look with an oversized coat or a poncho. For a more casual look, pick a scarf or add a touch of sophistication with a pashmina shawl (block colors are always preferable).

3. T-shirt

A t-shirt is the most comfortable when you have to sit long hours. Work this to your advantage and create a girly look with a crop top or a light-weight top. If you’re not comfortable in a t-shirt, put on a blouse, but avoid one that has buttons in the front.
4. Shoes

Ditch those flip flops. They are neither classy nor comfortable when you’re running to catch a flight. Instead, try on a pair of flat sandals, slip on shoes, or even sneakers (get ones that don’t have laces). If you want a slightly more glamorous look, opt for block heels, open toe boots or pointed ballet flats.
5. Accessories

Accessories can make all the difference in creating a fabulous look. Mid-sized or big, a handbag is a must. Pick from a duffel bag, cross body bag or a leather satchel. Add a thin, long chain or a watch if you like. Try an all-black look with matching accessories and create a statement like Kendall Jenner. Cooped up in your seat for long hours and lack of sleep don’t make anybody look their best. Step out with a pair of basic aviators or oversized sunglasses to cover up your tired eyes, and ensure that you have the perfect glam look right until you reach your destination.
Take your pick from these stylish yet comfortable airport looks to rock your next flight!
