The Perfect Airport Outfit Formula | Cute & Comfortable Travel Outfits
Traveling is sort of like cilantro—you either love it or absolutely hate it. Between long lines, screaming children, limited takeout options, and stressful TSA operations—traveling can really be a pain. However, there is one solution to beat the traveling jitters: the perfect comfortable airport outfit.
The best airport outfits all have the same goal, comfort without sacrificing style. Whether you’re running to catch a flight, sitting through a long travel day, or heading straight from the airport to your destination, what you wear matters.
The typical perfect airport outfit formula consists of four variables—bottom, top, additional layer, and shoes. However, not everyone’s perfect outfit will look the same. The keys to each variable are comfort and accessibility. They have to be easy to throw on in a time crunch (because let’s face it—we’re always running late when it comes to the airport).
At Dress Blank, we believe comfortable travel outfits should still feel stylish. Here are three foolproof airport outfit formulas for every type of traveler.
Formula 1 – one for the matching set baddie
Oversized Swing Top + Drawstring Skirt Legging + white sneakers = the perfect airport outfit
I like to say wearing a matching set is working smarter, not harder. Now who doesn’t want to be smart? Blank’s got you covered with all the intelligence of a matching set—one of the easiest ways to put together cute airport outfits.
The best part of this formula is the lack of need for an additional layer. Our Oversized Swing Top is both lightweight and durable, keeping you warm during a chilly flight all on its own, making it ideal for comfortable airport outfits on long flights. Not to mention, the set also comes in a variety of colors, including sage, black, light blue, and tan.
Formula 2 – one for the dress-obsessed icon
Ribbed Sweatshirt Dress + white sneakers = the perfect airport outfit
For the girls that like to dress more feminine but want to stay comfortable, I present to you the Ribbed Sweatshirt Dress. It is available in mauve, black, light blue, and seafoam.
Not only is this dress extremely lightweight, but it is also very soft. The top-to-bottom zipper is especially convenient, giving you room to breathe so you don’t feel suffocated—exactly what to wear on a plane for comfort and style. My favorite part is the hood, which can also work as a built-in eye mask for those who love to nap on the plane.
Formula 3 – one for the hot & cold diva
Ribbed Tank Top 2.0 (different colors) + Blue Wash Denim Combo Maxi Skirt + Black Cropped Sweatshirt + black or white sneakers = the perfect airport outfit
Embroidered Tank Top (different designs) + Black Ribbed Skirt Legging + Black Striped Sweatshirt + white sneakers = the perfect airport outfit
This one is for the girls who are freezing cold one minute and then scorching hot the next. This formula has two versions that are similar but slightly different, making them perfect travel outfits for changing temperatures.
Here, both varieties stick to the typical perfect airport outfit formula: top, bottom, additional layer, and shoes. This formula is perfect for the ones who run hot and cold. On the top, both start with just a tank top, which is perfect for those hot flashes. And for those chills that come from the plane’s air conditioning, both our Black Striped Sweatshirt and Black Cropped Sweatshirt are great options for layering outfits for travel and staying comfortable on long flights.
So the next time you walk (or run) into the airport, you’ll have no excuse not to be the best dressed traveler while still nailing effortless airport fashion. I not only gave you the formulas but the answers too. Now dressing yourself for the airport? Easy. Getting your kids dressed and out the door on time? That part is still on you.
