5 Ways To Dress And Pack For Effortless Travel

For a look that balances ease and style, opt for an oversized coat you can slip on and off as the in-flight temperature fluctuates. If you’re traveling to or from a cold-weather destination, Arma’s ‘Verena’ shearling coat is just the thing. Its reversible design lets you choose whether the plush shearling faces inward or outward. For a lighter option that’s easy to pack when jetting off to warmer climes, consider Auralee’s corduroy coat. A capacious carryall is another must-have for frequent flyers. The Row’s ‘Marlo’ tote has plenty of room for your passport, cosmetics case and an extra sweater.

Athleisure and tailoring might once have been an unlikely pairing, but these days, they’re a perfect match – especially when it comes to traveling. Start with Maria McManus’s stirrup leggings and wear them with Guest In Residence’s ‘Cozy Crew’ cashmere sweater for a pop of color, then layer on a blazer. The Row’s collarless version offers a dose of elevated elegance, especially when paired with a minimal bag, and Métier’s ‘Private Eye’ suede tote is the ultimate quiet-luxury design. Meanwhile, a baseball cap – such as this style from Polo Ralph Lauren – completes the preppy-meets-sporty look while also shielding your face after a long-haul flight.

Loungewear has seriously upped its game in recent seasons, which is good news for our in-transit wardrobes. Look to Toteme, Dôen and Chloé for chic silk and knitted separates that are comfortable enough to sleep in but refined enough to earn you an upgrade. The former’s embroidered twill pants are lightweight and easy to pack. With your outfit sorted, don’t forget your feet: A.Emery’s ‘Lou’ leather clogs are a stylish, practical choice for the airport lounge and can be kicked off once you’re airborne in favor of Lisa Yang’s cashmere socks. Finally, channel ’90s celebrity airport style with a pair of black Prada sunglasses.

Spot an A-lister at the airport and you’ll probably find they’re wearing jeans. They’re a wardrobe staple most of us live in every day, so why not wear them for a flight, too? The key is to choose looser, slouchier fits so you don’t feel restricted once you’re asked to fasten your seatbelt. Citizens of Humanity’s ‘Ayla Baggy’ jeans are a fail-safe choice favored by fashion editors. Style them with elevated off-duty layers, such as an RRL Henley top and Auralee’s barn jacket, for a look that’s both chic and comfortable.
