Listen—I’m all about rocking a cute travel outfit when I’m heading out of town…but I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing heels to the airport.
To be honest, jeans are not my first preference to wear on a plane (although I’ll occasionally make an exception if they’re REALLY comfortable jeans, or if my flight is under three hours.)
Usually, you’ll find me in one of my favorite affordable cashmere sweaters during the winter, and lightweight loungewear set during the summer.
I often see pictures of people at the airport posing next to their cute pink luggage wearing heels and a mini-dress… How is that even comfortable? When you’re en route to the airport (and your final destination) it’s all about feeling comfortable.
For this reason, I’ve decided to put together a little guide to cute travel outfits…featuring things that you’ll actually want to travel in, whether you’re heading out for a winter getaway or a girls’ trip.
Because believe it or not, it’s possible to wear comfy loungewear, leggings, or a jumpsuit and still look SUPER chic, as long as you style them (especially my favorite faux leather leggings.)
Below are a handful of great travel outfits I found while trolling IG—and the exact things you can buy to replicate them.
(Also: if you’re also on the hunt for stylish carry-on luggage or if you need some good go-to travel toiletries…I’ve got you covered.)
Travel Outfits Essentials
Two Piece Set | White Sneakers | belt bag
I’m sharing my fave go-to travel outfits because what’s worse than being uncomfortable on a plane? Regardless of how often you’re traveling, these are great pieces to stay chic and comfortable at the same time.
These picks will depend on how long your flight is and where you’re headed, but overall, I think they’re practical for travel days.
The only caveat here is that I know a jumpsuit isn’t exactly ideal if you’re going on a long-haul flight—however—I personally don’t mind wearing them on planes because they’re so comfy and not too difficult to slip in and out of when you need a bathroom break.
If jumpsuits aren’t your jam, there are plenty of other ideas in this post that should work for you, like a matching sweatsuit or leggings and a leather jacket. Without further ado, here are some staples I’d recommend having on hand for travel days.
1. An Amazon Set
2. A Comfy Jacket
3. Joggers
4. A Cozy Jumpsuit
5. White Sneakers (or Slip-On Sneakers)
6. A Travel Bag

January 1, 2020 at 3:03 pmI do not think I would wear white on a plane. No to the belly sticking out as well. I do like the stretchy pants and sneakers.

September 26, 2020 at 3:30 amWhy would anyone wear a jumpsuit on a plane? The toilets are used by hundreds of people, now you want to pull down the top part of your clothes and have it dangling somewhere near the toilet, while you’re sitting on a toilet that exposes the part that gets wee on when the seat is up? Eeu that’s all kind of germ wrong!! But I do love the little 3/4 joggers! Def looking for some of those for my next long haul (when this pandemic is over!)
