Pack a cozy sweater for your flight (yes, even if you’re heading to the tropics)
Air conditioning is often quite strong on planes, and it would be a shame to catch a cold while flying to the sun.
Avoid that pretty sweater you love but that itches a bit, after an hour you won’t be able to take it anymore!
It’s time to pull out your hoodie, your comfortable sweatshirt, or that oversized cozy green sweater that often gets hidden at the back of your wardrobe.
Choose a breathable fabric to be as comfortable as possible. Cotton is preferable because not only is it super soft, but it’s also a free fabric that adapts to all skin types, even the most sensitive.
Linen clothing is also pleasant on a plane. Stronger than cotton, it is naturally soft and breathable.

Look cute in joggers or boyfriend jeans
Go ahead, dig out your joggers or your old jeans from your wardrobe, and for those who are unsure: yes, you can be stylish in joggers as long as you match them well with your top and luggage.
Choose joggers that are nice and modern, made of cotton, matched with a top or paired with a simple t-shirt or an oversized coat.
Take inspiration from your favorite influencers on social media. For example, we love the total cream travel look of Camila Coelho, who looks absolutely hot in joggers!

Put on your sneakers for the flight
Shoe lovers, please put on your sneakers. Sure, there are stars who arrive at the airport in heels, but honestly, that’s not necessary. It’s better to keep them packed in your suitcase instead of hurting your feet if you need to rush to the boarding gate.
And especially, choose a new pair of sneakers to match your super comfy outfit; what could be better?

We embrace the oversized coat
How to add personality to an outfit made of boyfriend jeans, sneakers, and a sweater? The answer is simple: the oversized coat.
Its cut will instantly give you a commanding look. Proof is, it’s on the backs of all celebrities who get photographed at the airport!
Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, and Rihanna have all adopted it.
You can add a crossbody bag to your coat. In addition to accessorizing your outfit, you can slip your personal items in it.

We wear one piece of jewelry
One accessory to enhance your outfit, yes… but just one. Indeed, you don’t want to ring the security bells and take off your bracelets one by one, do you?
Choose a pair of earrings, a small bracelet, or a long pendant that will highlight your outfit.. and that’s it!

Don’t forget your sunglasses
At the risk of sounding a bit snobby, having a pair of sunglasses with you will save you from headaches and tired eyes.
Sunglasses are essential for your travel. Beyond protecting your eyes from the sun and allowing them to rest, they will also complete your look.

We wear a cap
After joggers, we have caps… just kidding, but not really. You can look stylish in a cap and joggers, as long as you match them properly.
Choose a black one that goes with everything or in light tones. You can also opt for the total look with a cap that matches your outfit.
Why take a comfortable scarf for air travel?
Clearly, take an extra garment to snuggle into when traveling by plane. It’s important to feel comfortable on the plane, especially during a long-haul flight.
If you have a layover, you can take it off along with your jacket and put it back on for the next flight.

How to do your makeup for air travel?
If you don’t like to go out without makeup, but you have a long flight with a layover. If you want to avoid removing your makeup in an airport bathroom, we agree, it’s not the ideal place to care for your skin, you should aim to wear as little makeup as possible. Don’t panic, we’ll tell you everything: for your skin first, avoid foundation which will feel very uncomfortable after several hours. Instead, choose loose powder and a brush of blush for a fresh look.
For your eyes, there’s a little trick that works wonders: instead of mascara, simply draw a line with eyeliner. This technique will prevent the heaviness of mascara, especially if you plan on taking a little nap during the flight.
And if you’re really worried about your makeup running, grab your sunglasses!
Don’t forget your stylish luggage from the airport
Your outfit is perfect, your accessory is in place, your pretty sneakers on your feet? You might be forgetting an important detail that can elevate your travel look or… ruin it.
What’s the point of putting in so much effort into your outfit if your luggage is ugly?
So, break the bank once and for all for a large check-in suitcase if you often travel by plane for long stays or a smaller carry-on if you can afford to take the bare minimum.
