Airport Looks That Scream First Class

Let’s be real, people love comfort, and most of us choose comfort over style or class, but to be very honest, secretly we all want to look as cool as celebrities, creators, or models when they travel. Travelling long distances can be grueling, and you might even get jet lagged, however, that does not mean you can’t travel in style, and at the same time, even in comfort. So, let’s decode how to nail that effortless, comfy-yet-classy “First Class” airport look.
Who better to take style inspo from than celebrities who are always on the go? The key to great airport fashion is to pay attention to the comfy yet basic, stylish pieces that elevate a look, as well as statement accessories.
For example, Gigi Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence’s favorite button-down shirts or wide-legged jeans, which look comfy yet chic while travelling and can be great for even lunch before check-in. Today, I am going to walk you through some of the latest airport fashion looks that are perfectly chic yet comfy, so sit tight.
SUMMER OUTFIT ESSENTIALS
Shorts, tees, and jeans
Since it is summer and you might have long list of destinations, to elevate your looks you can opt for soft cotton tees and airy shorts or even a pair of pastel jeans like Emily Ratajkowski or Katie Holmes, just add some statement boots or a fashionable Prada/Marc Jacobs bag with some basic jewellery and there you go, the most chic yet comfy travel look or maybe you want to still keep it breezy yet want an it girl aura?
For that i suggest, Han So-hee’s incredible downtown it girl airport fashion–she keeps it simple with a chill tank top and comfy jeans layered with a leather jacket, in case you get cold on flights, and pair it with simple jewelry and a statement bag or glasses and you are good to go.
Tracks, Trainers, and Blazers
But what if you have two back-to-back flights and just want comfort but can’t risk looking a mess, then you should try Bella Hadid’s looks at the airport, screaming comfy and standout fashion. A pair of trainers or Adidas wide-legged trousers, track pants are the perfect comfy attire, but to look put together, just add some simple Tiffany & Co. jewellery and light makeup.
A good airport look isn’t all about the fashion, it’s also about how creative you can get with clothes that are more about comfort than style. For that, we can follow Elsa Hosk’s fashion at an airport, screaming class and comfort, pairing a comfy cardigan with matching trousers and a blazer for that extra layer, finishing the final look with a Prada bag, large sunglasses, and a headband.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s airport looks are always so put together, styling jeans with a loose fit button down shirt and a lightweight knit along with a pair of large sunglasses or maybe you would like Cate Blanchett’s executive fashion, pairing a black pantsuit with a t-shirt for that casual chic look, along with quirky accessories, and a printed tote.

Sundresses, Sunglasses, and a free will
Oh, and of course, I didn’t forget the people who always want to be extra. For you guys, I suggest following Andie MacDowell’s style, wearing a blue sundress with a cream bag and oversized sunglasses. She proved that you can wear a dress at the airport if you feel well and comfortable in it.
A summer sundress with a pair of flats or trainers with minimalist jewellery and headphones is the perfect summer getaway look, complete with a pair of glasses.
WINTER OUTFIT ESSENTIALS
Coats, loafers, and leggings
Seasons change, and with it so does our fashion, so what if you’re travelling in winter? Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered too. During flights in winter it’s best to prioritize warmth and comfort, while we’ll take care of style, like Zoe Saldana’s fashion at the airport screaming comfort, with a vest and t-shirt, long camel coat, simple jeans, she focused on the basics and elevated them with accessories, like breezy loafers and a large Saint Laurent Bag or maybe you only want to fly in leggings, then Madeline Cline is your spirit animal, wearing flared legging with a split helm, revealing black trainer, a simple tee with an oversized black prada blazer and a large Bottega Veneta bag.
The look is casual yet chic–you almost don’t notice the leggings. But what if it’s super cold? Then you should wear the Jennie Kim fashion, opting for a barrel-leg pattern silhouette, paired with a classic Chanel cardigan and a comfy scarf wrapped around her neck.
Suits, Boots, and Sunnies
How about what to wear if I am going directly to a business lunch or meeting after my flight? Then Elle Fanning is your airport fashion muse, talking about looks at an airport screaming business meeting attire, she wore a Bottega Veneta mint green suit paired with a casual t-shirt and sunglasses or you can try Angelina Jolie’s look, a long trench coat, especially on long, overnight flights, it’s a travelers best friend, she paired it with heeled boots, but you can do normal boots or uggs and maybe a turtleneck.
And there you have it, some of the travel essentials and looks that help elevate your airport outfits to the next level while still keeping in mind the comfort for travelling, but giving you the gorgeous chic look even if you are jet lagged so don’t complain that you have nothing to wear, some of these looks are pretty basic, you just need a little creativity.
