Airport Outfit Ideas: Travel Style Inspo for Men and Women

What are the best airport outfits? When deciding on a comfy airport outfit, you’ll want to understand how travel affects your body so you can make informed decisions on travel 'fits. It’s no secret that travel can be fun but stressful, so allow us to relieve some of the pressure of putting together travel outfits for your next trip. 

How Travel Affects Your Body (Something to Think About When Choosing Airport Attire)

Pressure changes can cause gas inside the stomach and GI tract to expand, which will make you feel bloated. Because of this, it’s important to wear clothing that has a stretchy fabric, like leggings, joggers, or oversized T-shirts. You will want to wear a material that allows air to pass through, like cotton or silk. 

Also, this pressure change can lead to you getting less oxygen, which can make you feel drained and dehydrated. Make sure to stretch in your seat to keep blood flowing and to feel most comfortable on a long flight.

In short, here's a list of do's and don'ts when choosing outfits to travel by plane:

• Don't wear tight-fitting clothing: Pack skinny jeans in your suitcase; even tight-fitting stretchy clothing can restrict blood flow.
• Do wear loose-fitting clothing: Track pants and loose-fitting, comfy leggings that allow some give around your waist are the best choices.
• Don't wear heavy shoes or boots: Don't wear footwear that will not accommodate your feet if you tend to swell when you fly (it happens!). 
• Do wear slide-on, comfy shoes: Not only will comfortable shoes help accommodate your foot swelling, but they'll help get you through security and to your gate comfortably.
• Don't dress for the weather: Airports and airplanes tend to have climates of their own, so save the tropical resort wear or winter outfits for your destination.
• Do dress in layers: When you travel, you won't have much control over your cabin temperature, so dress in layers. 

Airport Outfits Inspo

Here are some tips for knowing how to dress for the airport successfully. 

Layered outfits for travelling

Because airports and airplanes can be so cold, dress in comfortable layers. This is especially important when you’re traveling in air-conditioned planes during warm weather months or from cold weather places to sunny destinations. 

Wear Comfy Bottoms

You will want to look comfortable yet stylish. A dressed-down airport outfit can still look put together. We suggest cute airport outfits for women that include two-piece matching sets, hoodies and cropped tops. For men's airport casual outfits, start with stacked track pants or men's cargo pants (the pockets are excellent for travel) for dope yet casual looks. 

Keep Your Feet Happy

Wearing comfortable shoes is also important, not only for comfort but for you well-being. Aim for sneakers, comfortable flats, or slides like our Bentley Slides that slip on and off making them easy to take off at security. Even though wearing your heaviest shoes can help reduce the weight of your luggage, your comfort is more important.

Best Fashion Pieces To Wear to the Airport

Being versatile may be the most important quality of the best possible travel outfits. Packing light isn’t hard if you make your clothes multi-task for you. Think about pieces that can be worn with other things you’re packing and that can be dressed both up and down. 

Here’s a quick list of some things to consider wearing during your next travel outfit: 

• Joggers
