What To Wear To The Airport?

For the low maintenance sun-seeker

The perfect throw-on-and-go one-piece, this black loungewear jumpsuit requires zero effort and looks uber cool in the airport. With its elasticated waist and relaxed fit, it’ll keep you comfy for the whole flight and is perfect for lounging around your hotel room too. Pair with chunky trainers and a light jacket for a low-maintenance yet low-key slay look.

For the no dress-down days traveller

Not a casual girlie? No problem. This chic t-shirt dress with knotted detail is the perfect travel outfit for the jetsetter catching a Friday evening flight to Ibiza and heading straight out for drinks once she touches down. Pair with some cat-eye sunnies, black low-top trainers, and an oversized bomber jacket for added edge. We’re obsessed.

For the one who’s going straight to the beach bar

Calling all beach babes, this one’s for you. Skip the trackies and jump straight into your getaway gear with this beautiful boho Bardot dress in pink and mint green. Just because you’re traveling, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style – plus, this gorgeous number has an elasticated top half meaning it’s still comfy to wear on a long flight. Add a denim jacket and trainers for now, and chuck some sandals in your airport bag for a seamless transition on the other side.

If you’re one to feel the cold on flights, you’re gonna want a cosy layer. This chunky cardigan is like wearing a (stylish) blanket and will keep you as snug as a bug from take-off to landing. To style, layer it over a cool slogan tee and jeans, or leggings for even more comfort.

  • Hi, I love all your outfits! I’m 5 ft 6 and have a short body and long legs (think daddy long legs) and I also don’t have a defined waist. I really love your fitted waist dresses but they wouldn’t suit me. Can you recommend anything that would? X
