If you’re planning a getaway soon to escape the cold temps for warmer weather and sunny beaches (you lucky duck!), you’ll understand the struggle to decide on the best airport outfit. MKR is touching down in LA for the week for the Grammy’s (be sure to follow her adventures on Snapchat—username WaitingonMartha—and Instagram), so we had to pull this helpful travel outfit post out of the archives. Below, you’ll find four things to keep in mind when deciding on the best airport outfit.
No. 1: Think layers…a lot of them. While layers are always a good idea to stay comfortable in-flight, it’s especially true when traveling between cold and warm temperatures. Layer a light jacket that’s foldable and can easily roll up and stow in a carryon suitcase atop a comfy tee. A fun, printed scarf is another great layer to keep your outfit stylish and comfortable on both sides of the trip.
No. 2: Wear your heaviest shoes. Save as much room (and weight) as possible by wearing your heaviest and largest shoes. Wedges and espadrilles are best worn, while sandals and flats are stowed in luggage.
No. 3: Wear your hat. Avoid damaging your sun hats and protect them from losing their shape by wearing one (and carefully carrying any additional hats in your purse). And besides wearing a hat allows for a much easier hair day.
No. 4: Keep essentials close. Nothing is worse than scrambling to dig out your laptop in the security line or find your new book in the bottom of your bag while others wait in the aisle. Consider using a bag that keeps all of your necessities and in-flight entertainment within easy reach.
Do you have a warm weather getaway planned? What pieces do you consider to be the best airport outfit essentials? Cheers, Kat
