Revamped Airport Attire for the Next Journey - 13 Looks I'm "Adopting" for My Upcoming Flight
======================================================================
In an article published by Michelle Scanga, the Contributing Fashion Editor, the focus is on reviving the glamorous airport style of yesteryears. The new travel-day fashion trends emphasize a perfect blend of comfort and chicness.
Current airport style trends lean towards relaxed suiting sets, roomy loose trousers, and intentional monochrome or tonal dressing. The goal is to feel effortless yet polished, with pieces that move easily and resist wrinkles.
One such example is Tony Bianco's Torres Boots, which can be paired with a variety of outfits. Another option is the BPWashed Oversize Cotton T-Shirt, which can be paired with a suede jacket, baggy jeans, and cool sneakers.
Loose trousers paired with tanks or fitted tops create a look that is both comfortable for travel and visually refined. Monochrome looks, where all pieces share the same color family, are favored for their sleek, intentional vibe without feeling fussy. For footwear, supportive but chic options such as cushioned sneakers, ballet flats, or loafers allow mobility without sacrificing style. Lightweight layering pieces, like knit cardigans or oversize blazers, address potential chilling in airports or planes while maintaining the aesthetic appeal.
The author recommends adding a tailored coat or an oversize blazer to elevate the airport look. For instance, Sam Edelman's Longline Wrap Coat can be paired with a black leather jacket, oversized knit sweater, and baggy black pants.
Footwear plays a big role in creating an airport-chic look. Suggestions include elevated flats, cool loafers, and sleek sneakers. For example, Polo Ralph Lauren Logo Satin Rally Shorts can be paired with a baseball cap, long coat, fitted top, and loose joggers, while Levi's Dad Jeans can be paired with a light sweater, baggy shorts, and an extra jacket.
The article also covers other fashion trends, such as unexpected shoe trends for Ibiza, transitional outfits for summer to fall, a controversial flat-shoe trend, a richer color needed for fall, a pretty shirt trend with denim shorts, what to wear to major sporting events, and a shirt trend in Italy.
The author has planned 13 outfits for their next flight that balance fashion and function. These outfits include the author's own picks like Reformation's Gisele Low Rise Pants, which can be paired with a white T-shirt, butter-yellow loose pants, and an oversize carryall bag, and LSPACE's Unmatched Leggings, which can be paired with an oversize leather jacket, layered button-down shirt, and baggy jeans.
The author has also provided links to shop the key pieces for each look. So, get ready to elevate your airport style and turn heads as you jet-set around the world!
