How to not be plain on a plane
Ah, air travel—the perfect opportunity to master the art of effortless chicness. But you want to wear pajamas. You want your hair in a bun and your sunglasses gorilla glued to your temples. But then, as you head past security and make your way to your gate, there’s always a woman who just nailed the travel day look. She knew dressing for a plane trip doesn't mean surrendering your style. With a touch of creativity and touch less of laziness, you can transform the ritual of airport dressing into something another girl at Gate 12 might get inspired by. And if you didn’t bring any reading material for your flight, read on.
First things first - no one wants to bring unwanted attention to themselves at an airport so opt for neutral shades or classic patterns to keep things versatile and sophisticated. The Donna in oatmeal is the perfect breathable shirt for your trip. Pair it with a sleek, oversized sweater or a cashmere hoodie for an effortless touch of luxury. The key here is layering.
Accessories are your secret weapon in the battle against being plain on a plane. Choose a statement scarf or a silk wrap that doubles as a blanket—both stylish and practical. A pair of oversized sunglasses can add a touch of glamour, even in the dimmest airport lighting. Don’t forget a structured, yet spacious carry-on bag; it not only adds an element of first class even though you’re holding a coach ticket, but also ensures you’re organized for your journey.

Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable, but they needn’t be heinous. Choose sleek driving loafers, chic slip-ons, or high-quality sneakers that offer both support and sophistication. Avoid anything too casual or cumbersome; remember, you’ll be navigating through terminals and possibly security checks. A pair of well-chosen footwear can elevate even the simplest of outfits.
Last but not least, bring a hairbrush for your carry on. Your look can be a 10 but if you have bed head from leaning against the window pane, we have to deduct a few points.
