The days of getting all done up to fly are long gone, but what do you throw on if you want to make it through a day of traveling with your style intact, wondered What To Wear reader Dita? Well…
I have a go-to traveling-outfit formula that’s never failed to keep me comfortable, cute and warm in cramped, sub-arctic airplanes. First, I know I’ll be wearing either the Alice & Olivia knit pants that are constructed like jeans that I got about four years ago, or the similar ones from 7 For All Mankind I picked up last summer. They’re like leggings but not so schlumpy—and amazingly comfortable.
On top, it’s all about layers that I can keep warm in during the flight and peel off when I make it to my destination. In summer that usually means I’ll wear a cute cami, throw a grandpa cardi on over that and stuff a big scarf I can wrap around my neck for extra warmth into my bag.
Last, I always wear easy-to-slip-off-and-on flats. Never let it be said I was the one who held up the security line because I couldn’t get my boots off. Right now I’d go for something open-toe and bright.
Except for a pair of cool shades, I usually skip accessories—again, who wants everyone at security shooting them death looks—but I keep some in my carryon in case I make a stop or two between my destination airport and the hotel. (Oh, and I usually throw a pair of shorts or a skirt that will go with the cami, an extra pair of underwear and my makeup in there too, in case my luggage gets lost. They’ve come in handy a few times!)
Do you wish people would dress up more to fly?
