Are you going to an airport? What you wear can make your trip a lot more comfortable. You have to dress for comfort, but that doesn't mean you still couldn't look stylish.

Part 1 of 3: Choosing the right clothes for an airport

1. Bring a sweater. It can get cold at airports, but also on the plane. The temperature can vary. So bring something warm.
   • Even if you are going to a warm climate, it is a good idea to bring a track jacket or a simple cardigan. Some knits can look quite stylish. Dark clothing is better as it can hide any food and drink spills that may occur on the plane.
   • If you are traveling in the winter, it is useful to bring a down jacket, as it will not crease if you put it in the luggage compartment above your seat.
   • To make your life a little easier, start by removing any layered items, such as a sweatshirt, before you get to the metal detector. A lightweight jacket can also work.
2. Wear a bra without metal. It depends on the bra, of course, but some underwire bras can activate the metal detectors at the airport. That will take you time.
   • It will likely also require you to be searched. Not only are they embarrassing at times, but it will also slow you down.
   • Try metal-free bras instead. A simple padded bra might work, and sports bras are perfect for airport traffic.
   • If you like to wear an underwire bra, just put it in your suitcase instead of wearing it. Underwire bras can also be uncomfortable on a long flight.
3. Wear comfortable shoes. You want to feel comfortable at the airport (no stiletto heels!), But that doesn't mean you have to look less good. Victoria Beckham once said the airport is her catwalk.
   • Many people go to the airport in sweatpants or a tracksuit because they feel so comfortable in it. If that's not for you, choose a nice pair of leggings. Combine it with long sweaters, hoodies or long tops.
   • You can dress up a simple style by wearing a nice, eye-catching handbag. Celebrities often wear sunglasses at airports as well as hats. Choose comfort, but with style.
   • Jeans can also be a good choice for the airport. However, do not wear new jeans with an overly tight waist - rather choose pants that are already worn in.
   • Celebrities can be seen constantly at airports and manage to look both comfortable and stylish. Try loose-fitting pants with a blazer like actress Cate Blanchett. Or try jeans with flats and a simple black blouse like the Miranda Kerr model.
4. Wear spacious clothes. Roomy sweaters are extremely comfortable, especially when paired with jeans or leggings. Loose-fitting dresses or pants are also a good choice for the plane.
   • A loose fitting sweater will keep you warm and comfortable, even if you spend hours at the airport or on a plane. If you want to wear a skirt, go for a long skirt and nothing that is too tight and short.
   • Wear a large pashmina scarf with the sweater (or just with a shirt) for the plane - it can almost pass for a blanket. The other benefit of loose fitting clothing is that it can help prevent blood clots. While synthetic clothing can be a fire hazard, it is less likely to wrinkle, making it a good choice for airplanes.
   • A printed T-shirt is another option if you are in a warm climate. It's casual, but still trendy, so you'll look stylish without sacrificing comfort. But avoid T-shirts with offensive print. It can cause you problems at an airport.
5. Wear layers. When you travel, you will often have to deal with different climates or temperatures. You may go somewhere warmer or colder. Or maybe the temperature in the plane changes. Be prepared for this.
   • If you put on layers of clothing, you don't have to pack that much. You can remove one layer (e.g. a sweater) and feel comfortable in the tank top underneath, if you land somewhere warmer (or vice versa). You have to dress for the colder climate, if you are traveling between places with different temperatures.
   • Wearing a pashmina scarf or shawl can be turned into makeshift pillows, making it easier for you to sleep on the plane if needed.
   • Keep in mind that the plane can be cold from time to time, even if the climate outside is not cold. In addition, wear clothing that breathes and allows air to pass through, such as silk or cotton. You will feel clean and refreshed for longer.

Part 2 of 3: Wearing the right accessories

1. Don't put on a belt. Wearing a belt to the airport becomes a huge hassle. Save yourself time and leave it in your suitcase or at home.
   • At the gate check, you will likely be asked to take off your belt if you are wearing one. That means it takes longer to get through the metal detector. It also means that this can start to annoy the people behind you. However, if you are a member of "TSA Pre Check" you may be able to keep your belt on, but it depends on the airport you are going to.
   • An important point to remember when dressing for the airport is that comfort is important. Think about how you can make the experience as easy as possible.
   • If you forgot one, choose pants that won't slip without a belt!
2. Avoid a lot of jewelry. If you're carrying a lot of jewelry to the airport - or pieces that are difficult to remove, like tiny earrings with tiny buckles - it can become a hassle.
   • You may need to remove most of the jewelry at the metal detector. Body piercings can sound the alarm and delay you significantly.
   • The other problem with wearing a lot of jewelry is that it can make you a target for thieves or pickpockets. It's usually not a good idea to show off your wealth in an airport.
   • You can keep the jewelry in a bag in your purse and then put it on once you land and leave the destination airport.
3. Make up easily. Lots of makeup and an elaborate haircut will probably look great when you board the plane, but not so great after a flight of several hours. Simpler is better!
   • Your skin probably feels dried out after a flight, so bring a small jar of moisturizer and a lip balm. Put your hair in a ponytail!
   • Do not bring large bottles of beauty products. You may like to use your own shampoo. Or maybe it's a saline solution, sunscreen, or expensive facial lotion that you want to bring with you.
   • Know the rules. You will not get bottles of more than 90 ml through security. Follow the rules, and everything will go a lot faster.
4. Bring a large bag. It can be very useful in an airport to carry a large bag. For example, you have a place to put items that you buy, such as reading material or chewing gum.
   • For another, a nice, eye-catching bag can dress up an otherwise plain outfit, so you look chic in an airport while still being comfortably dressed.
   • A large bag can almost also be used as an extra carrying bag. Some women like to bring a hairbrush and makeup on the plane so they can freshen up before landing.
   • It is easier to lose a bag that is too small. A larger bag is almost always a better choice when traveling by plane. Clothing with pockets can also be helpful.

Part 3 of 3: Choosing the right footwear

1. Wear comfortable shoes. You will regret trying to walk around an airport in heels. It will be worse if you have to run because you are late.
   • Leave your high heels in your suitcase. Sure, they look good, but you may have to walk many ends, and if your plane is late for a connecting flight, you may have to run.
   • A Better Choice for Airport Shoes: Comfortable flats that slide off your feet with ease. Then you can take them off at security. However, by wearing the heaviest shoes you can reduce the weight of your luggage and free up more space for other things.
   • Also avoid boots or sandals with excessive laces, buckles, zippers and the like - again money because they take forever to take off and put back on at the controls. Avoid tight shoes as your feet are likely to expand on a long flight. If you are a girl under the age of 13, you can wear all shoes as long as there is no metal in them. That's because if you are under the age of 13, you can often keep your shoes on at check-ups. If you have been checked beforehand, you can wear anything (as long as there is no metal in it) because you can keep your shoes on.
2. Wear socks. You might think those flip flops are comfortable, but they don't provide much support. Worse, they can be a breeding ground for bacteria.
   • Think about how many people walked through the metal detector before you. Do you really want to walk through the metal detector with bare feet? You will likely be asked to take off your shoes. However, if you are under 13, or over 75, it is very likely that you will not be asked to take off your shoes.
   • Wear socks to protect your feet. They also stay warmer when the air conditioning makes it a little cold at the airport, or when it's cold on the plane.
   • Socks also provide some bounce while walking through the airport. Some airports are quite a journey from one side to the other, or even require you to travel on a tram.
3. Wear support stockings or socks. Blood clots are a hazard when flying when you are in a tight space. Special garments have been designed to help prevent this.
   • Consider your pregnancy. If you are pregnant, check with your doctor before flying. Some doctors will recommend wearing special clothing while flying. Some pregnant women wear compression stockings or socks while flying. These can help keep your legs from swelling as they stimulate blood circulation.
   • You can usually get these clothes at drug stores or pharmacies, or online through travel stores. Loose-fitting clothing can also reduce the risk of blood clots. Avoid very tight clothing, socks, tights, or skinny jeans.
   • Some people with other medical conditions may also benefit from such garments. The same goes for travelers who fly a lot. Such clothing can help prevent a condition called deep vein thrombosis.

Tips

• Prolonged, connected periods of inactivity during the flight can cause blood to flow to the feet, which then swell. So it is best to wear slippers or roomy shoes during your flight.
• If you dress nicer, you are more likely to be selected for a better place.
• Research cultural norms related to clothing when traveling internationally.

Warnings

• If you are traveling first class or business class, be aware that some airlines have dress codes.
