6 Celeb-Inspired Airport Outfits for Every Type of Traveler

Date August 15, 2018

It’s vacay season and while holiday travels are super exciting, the actual travelling process can be quite the opposite. We’ve put together six airport looks so you can spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time focusing on your upcoming vacation.

So check out our galleries below for every type of airport look. We’ve included some of our favourite celebs for inspiration. From the traveler who is all about the “athleisure” life, to the sophisticate who wants a comfy look that still appears put-together, there’s something here for just about everyone.

The Sophisticate

Could we really give this category to anyone else? Victoria Beckham helps make airport style a little posh-er with a fitted blazer and classic black accessories.

Wearlight Mid Rise True Skinny Ankle Jeans

These lightly distressed skinny jeans pair perfectly with a more put-together blazer. And this particular style from Gap is made with a more lightweight denim to keep you comfortable.

EW Leather Tote Bag

The Sportif

Athleisure is great because it lets you be stylish and unbelievably comfy at the same time–and isn’t that the perfect recipe for airport travel? Rihanna often rocks this type of vibe when she’s traveling.

The Sportif

Gallian Cotton-Blend Sweatshirt

($321, Isabel Marant )

This watermelon-toned sweater by Isabel Marant is really the star of this outfit.

2/4

The Sportif

Diya Grey Casual Trousers

($44, Pretty Little Thing)

These pants by Pretty Little Thing have a draw-string waist, making them ideal for travel. But with a slight crop and tapered fit on the legs, they’re also a lot more elevated than your regular old sweatpants.

3/4

The Sportif

Stan Smith Sneakers

($110, Adidas)

Stan Smiths are a classic style and pair really well with the slightly cropped trousers. The green detailing on the heel also compliments the sweatshirt from Isabel Marant.

The Comfort Queen

If you’re settling in for a long haul flight, there’s no shame in showing up to the airport prepared. This outfit is all about comfort, meaning soft fabrics are a must. Suki Waterhouse knows that nothing is better for a gruelling flight, than a super fluffy coat.

We start off with this, the perfect sweater to lounge around in.

2/6

The Comfort Queen

Wilfred Free Grete Jacket

3/6

The Comfort Queen

Senella Solid Scarf

($99, Club Monaco )

A scarf is a great thing to throw around your neck before boarding a long flight. Scrunch it up a bit for a soft make-shift pillow.
