With some countries gradually easing the lockdown and opening their airports, we can finally dust off our travel bucket list in joyful hope and start planning to wear our overpopulated pinned
Pinterest outfits. The main key on how to dress to the airport is comfort without sacrificing style and that seems fair enough.
Many years ago, I wore heels to the airport and my flight was delayed and then canceled. With that experience still fresh in my memory, I urge you to pack up your 6 inches heels if your strength can’t carry you and opt for low heeled footwear. Options like sneakers, flat shoes and low wedges are perfect for the airport, as comfort is key. However, if you can do heels all the way, then by all means do it. It’s also important to note that dressed up looks and tight fitting clothes are not so ideal options for how to dress to the airport.
It’s true that you should dress first for yourself, but it’s also true that there’s a vain side of us that likes to be admired and addressed with respect, and you hardly ever get good remarks by looking scraggly.
Check out 5 style ideas on how to dress to the airport…
#1. Athleisure wear
Aside from the field, the airport is the next most appropriate place to rock the athleisure trend and pull it off effortlessly. Flying in athleisure wear is just one way to dress to the airport especially if you are going on vacation, or if your job and travel doesn’t entail being more corporate. What’s also great about this choice is the relaxed-sexy vibe it has going on.

#2. A button-down shirt X pants
A loose button-down shirt is a great choice as it allows room for air, comfort and ease of movement. If you have a meeting upon arrival, you can easily tuck in your shirt for a more corporate appeal. What’s more, you can pair this with a roomy jacket thrown over your shoulder and finish off with a beret. Nobody, I repeat nobody, would deny your A-game. That’s celebrity status.

Dress to the airport in this combination and be the one everyone sees. The unexpected pairing of both will prove your style status and it’s perfect because you don’t need to compromise on comfort. Of course, the pairing is classy and travel friendly. Be sure to opt for a midi or maxi skirt and perhaps, wear short tights underneath just in case the wind gets a little wild.
