Travel Guest Post: What to Wear When Flying

When it comes to flying, it’s important to wear clothes that are comfortable, practical, and fashionable. That’s why I look to celebrity airport style to help me figure out what to wear when traveling. Celebs fly more than the average person, so they’ve got what to wear down pat. I chose three of my favorite celebrity airport looks to share with you — I included tips on why their ensemble is perfect for traveling and how you can get their look for less!

When it comes to catching a red-eye flight, comfort is key. Personally, I’m not a fan of wearing sweatpants in public — even for an overnight flight. Instead, I prefer to wear a cozy, oversized sweater with leggings, like Kate Bosworth in the photo above. This outfit looks chic, but is still very comfortable. Wear tall, knee-high boots with a pair of thick, warm socks. And don’t forget to bring a pashmina, which can double as a blanket.

Kristen Cavallari is layering perfectly in this airport photo — which is very important when it comes to flying. I don’t know about you, but I always find cabin temperatures freezing, so I like to wear a cardigan that’s easy to put on and take off. A scarf can also add an extra layer of warmth that’s easily removed. If you’re headed to a warm destination, be sure to have a light top underneath your cardi for when you arrive. Flat shoes are always a good idea if it’s a mad dash to the next gate!

It wasn’t too long ago that your Sunday best was worn when flying — so maybe you channel that mindset and like to get a little dressed up for a flight like Vanessa Hudgens. For classy comfort, I suggest a maxi dress. A maxi dress can be so comfortable for a long flight — and you won’t have to worry about your bare legs freezing! You can layer up your maxi with a scarf or a long cardigan. You’ll be the most fabulous, as well as the most comfortable person on board!
