Layer It Up, Ladies
Now, we all know that aeroplanes have a unique climate system, oscillating between ‘Saharan noon’ and ‘Antarctic night’. Layering is your BFF. A cami, a lightweight jumper, and a chic scarf will keep you prepared for all eventualities.
Polo Dresses for the Win
Want to feel like you’re in PJs but look like you’re ready to step out in Monaco? Enter the polo dress. Pair it with a belt and ankle boots for that sophisticated touch. Dresses when travelling are so versatile – add leggings when it’s a bit nippy! Easily dress them up when going out to dinner or down when going to the beach.
The Perfect Footwear
When choosing shoes, it’s essential to consider arch support, cushioning, and fit to ensure comfort and prevent injuries.
It’s a delicate balance. Ballet flats are perfect – they’re comfy, foldable, and ever so stylish. If you’re a sneakerhead, there are some fab designs that won’t look out of place, even in swanky hotels.
Make a Statement
Make a statement with a touch of elegance and sophistication by adorning yourself with exquisite tanzanite jewelry, adding a mesmerizing allure to your ensemble. A fabulous pair of earrings or a bold necklace can transform your outfit from ‘just left bed’ to ‘red carpet’. Remember, darling, it’s all in the details.
Leggings Are Lifesavers
Not just for the gym. A good pair of black leggings is super versatile. Dress them up with a tunic or go casual with a slouchy tee. TYhey’ll feel super comfy on the plane, but you’ll still look great.
Packing Cubes? Genius!
Organise outfits by days or events and then place them in packing cubes. They compress your clothes, leaving space for shopping, and they ensure you don’t end up rummaging. So your clothes will always be in order, leave you with plenty of space, and ensure you look fab.
Texture Over Wrinkles
Fabrics with a bit of texture can disguise those inevitable travel wrinkles. Think slub tees or crinkled fabrics. No one will notice if you’ve been sleeping on your outfit on the plane if they are naturally textured, will they?
Invest in a Multi-purpose Bag
One that takes you from day to night. It should fit all the essentials but still look classy. That way you won’t get bogged down with needing multiple bags for your travels. Leather totes, satchels or crossbody bags always look good.
Stay Fresh on the Fly
Pop in some face wipes, dry shampoo, and tinted lip balm in your handbag. Freshen up before landing and step out looking radiant. It’s amazing how a little makeup can turn jet lag into celeb style.
Versatile Jackets
A denim or leather jacket can add oomph to any outfit. Plus, they’re perfect for those breezy evenings.
Bun, Braid or Hat It
On those days when your hair just won’t cooperate or you know you’ll get bedhead on the flight, having a few go-to travel hairstyles or a trendy hat can be a lifesaver.
As you can see, it’s entirely possible to trot around the globe looking like you’ve just stepped off a Milan runway – while feeling like you’re wrapped in a duvet. So, what are you waiting for?
