Today I had the pleasure of venturing to the airport. Whenever I go, I usually try to wear something comfortable. Actually, I’ve worn sweatpants to the airport before. Maybe not the worst thing to do, but I usually like to dress in a way that makes me feel comfortable while still looking…not like a slob. Thus, I have created a few airport looks that are comfortable, yet classy.
(ABOVE) I usually like to wear a sweater or something similar to the airport. That way, if the person next to me is having a hot flash and starts blowing air all over the place, I’ll be set to go. I also have one of those longchamp bags, they’re great. They look small but I can literally fit my laptop, SLR camera and books in there. The shoe adds a quick pop of color and the snood gives the outfit a little…. je ne sais quoi. You know?
I would probably wear this on a longer flight. Not too long because of the jeans (I like to prop my feet up onto the seat during flights to be comfortable and jeans make that a hint difficult) but just long enough that I can be comfortable. The slouchy sweater adds comfort that I love while traveling.
I would wear this while going to spring break or some sort of warm destination. It’s great because (if you’re starting off in a cold location like I always am) you have a blazer to keep your arms warm, but when you land you have a cute tank top and sandals. And of course a pair of sunglasses, gotta protect those eyes.
This is artillery for a very long flight. For instance, if you are going overseas. A pair of leggings and a sweatshirt, not to mention a pair of slip on shoes, is the best way to stay comfortable on a long plane ride. Plus you can’t forget a couple of magazines, an eye mask and your electronic supplies. And yes, that is a gameboy color. I like to keep it vintage.
What do you wear at the airport?
guest
Will I just got back from the air port. I wore two layers and leggings, and then a sweater, or a cradi. What I usually wear. :S
guest
Haha cute outfits… and yay for oldschool gameboy. I wish I still had my original. =P
guest
I love this!! I always struggle trying to figure out what to wear to the airport. I always wear something comfortable, like yoga pants and a sweatshirt, and feel fine when I leave the house, then I see people in their dresses and heels, looking so freaking cute. And so impractical. I will keep these in mind for my next trip!

It’s always a hoodie, yoga pants, and uggs or flip flops for me since my flight is always 7-9 hours (and 50% of the time it’s an overnight flight). I’m not trying to look cute while I pop my sleeping pill and try to find a comfortable position that doesn’t leave my neck aching long after jet lag is over.
guest
pajama pants, hoodies, ipad, nintendoDS, evian mineral water spray, listerine..oh and passport i am all set to fly.
guest

guest
i usually wear either a dress (a must for long ride anything.) or sweat pants.
guest
I never wear flats because it gets cold on the plane and my feet gets cold the fastest. Jeans, a chunky cardigan or a sweater and some shirt, and a pair of vans. It’s just me, but my priority isn’t to look cute since I’m sitting most of the time with a blanket over myself.
guest
or i mean you could just wear sweats or a sweatshirt and jeans since you’re gonna be in the air for a whileeeee, might as well be comfortable
guest
I would definately bring my mac

Imo, what to wear to an airport: whatever the eff you want, looking classy in front of a bajillion people you don’t know and will never see again doesn’t matter.
guest
your outfits are adorable!
guest
did you do all polyvores? i’d really like the links to some of those items! really great combinations.
guest
what kind of purse is that in the bottom one? I love it, I have a black longchamp but I’m soo sick of it and can’t decide what to do next!

@serendiputousreality@xanga - I did! Sure, let me know what you like and I’ll let you know the designer! @beautifuldirtyyrich@xanga - The bag is from Proenza Schouler
guest
i like the outfits in the first and third picture…the accessories, not so much. but then again, I don’t usually have accessories with anything. Altho I do like the jacket in the 3rd pic :3
guest
@annamariuhh@xanga - but sometimes you’ll be seeing someone you haven’t seen in a long time the minute you step off the plane, or you’ll jump right into doing whatever you came to do. it doesn’t hurt to have a few good, comfy outfits in mind just in case
I love these outfits actually
guest
bahhh those flats in the first pic are sooo cute! Where are they from?
guest
When I fly it is only to go between school and home which is about two hours, so I’ll just wear normal clothing and a sweater or jacket depending on the season. I’ll bring my phone for while I’m waiting to fly out and for after landing and my iPod to listen to/play games on during flight. Once in awhile I’ll pull my laptop out and do some paper writing.
guest
Sweats or leggings, ballet shoes/flip-flops to make things easy at security, a cute top and a hoody or cardigan for clothes, and I always bring my DS, both my iPods (fully charged), a book, some food (because most plane food is gross, and if I’m flying out to Australia from England, I need something to eat in the 24+ hours it takes to get there!). I always bring water as well, because it’s so easy to get dehydrated on a plane.
guest
I miss my gameboy color…it’s been years since I got rid of it! And it was pink, like that one. I’m thinking I need to go find one.
Not too sure where though! lol
guest
@Callan - oh i like a lot of things! ok..the bag and cardigan in the first combo. shoes, top and pants in second combo. and sandals in third combo.

When I went to the airport a few months ago I pretty much wore everything in the first picture except for the scarf. It was comfy and when I got off the plane to see my boyfriend I didn’t feel messy like I would have if I had worn sweatpants. Plus the shoes were easy to take on and off for the security check.
guest
You know “je ne sais quoi” means “I don’t know what”.lol
Anyway, those are cute looks. Too bad I never really fly anywhere. It’s been about 5 years, maybe more.
guest
Cute! The only thing I would add is, pack some fleece socks if you’re going on a long overseas flight- you will want to take off your shoes, and they’ll probably get cold. Also one of those dorky looking neck pillows really helps.

@serendiputousreality@xanga - Sure, in the first combo the bag is the ‘Le Pliage’ large tote from Longchamp and the cardigan is the Basic V Cardi Nude from Crumpet. In the second combo the sweater and pants are from Top Shop and the shoes are Hermes. And in the third one the sandals are the ‘Dakota’ from Dolce Vita.
@caffeinated_mama@xanga - Haha yes, I know. That was supposed to be the joke

I just got back from being home for the Easter weekend. I wear jeans (because mine are perfectly worn in and super comfortable, layered tank tops, easy on/off sneakers, and usually two jackets because Seattle can be COLD compared to the Bay Area. It can be kind of a pain while going through security, but the comfort is totally worth it. I might start trying jeggings and flats at the airport though. Seems comfier. And there’ll be less I have to take off for TSA!

First outfit minus the bag.
guest
Any of these outfits are excellent for traveling!

LEGGINGS? HOW DARE YOU WEAR LEGGINGS IN PUBLIC! Don’t you know it’s a sin on lovelyish? xD just kidding, your outfits are super cute, and they look quite comfortable for long plane rides!
guest
No jeans for longer or short flight. NO JEANS. Leggin is always a good alternative

I’d wear a swimsuit and flip flops just ’cause of security.
guest
This isn’t for everyone (obviously) but really nice post none the less!
guest
Seriously? Who dresses up to go to the airport? Sweatpants and flip flops is where it’s at. It makes it soo much easier to go through security.
guest
very cute selects.
guest
Cute, but… flats aren’t comfortable when you’re walking a lot. Coming from a girl who has worked hours straight in them in a restaurant.

@MochaMoose230@xanga - Oh haha I didn’t think this was dressing up, everything is either jeans or leggings and a sweater.
guest
i’m going for practical because they make you take off almost everything anyway. so definitely no scarves or sweaters/jackets/vests (i put those in my carry on as soon as i’m inside the airport) and definitely flip or sandals, no boots, runnuers or whatever bulky to pput on and take off. it’s such a big to do to take everything off, put them in plastic bins, and then gather them all up and put them all back on again.
guest
Game boy colour. Hell. Yes.
guest
I usually wear some sort of yoga type pants, comfy t and sweatshirt — I always get so cold on the plane. I usually wear flip flops but have socks in my bag.
guest
Alright we get it. You fucking love ass tight jeans and overpriced bags.

I wear what I normally wear plus a light sweater or coat. I don’t understand why you’d need to put so much though into an airport outfit
guest
cute outfits! i reallllly like the 2nd one
guest
I fell in love with the third. Im totally wearing that to my 12 hour flight to Berlin next week! Thanks so much for the inspiration I’ve been looking for an outfit that’s equally comfort and style. ♡
