I guess to be fair to myself, travel was more of a luxury back then. As you can see in the pictures below and above, things have changed much since then. My best travel outfit formula these days equals simple + casual + comfort, in other words, finding the perfect balance between comfort and stylish. This is not to say that I do not appreciate a beautiful woman or handsome man dressed to impress at the airport. This is the outfit I wore to my almost 24 hours trip to Dubai.
The next time you’re jet setting, here are 5 things to keep in mind while putting your airport outfit together.
Go for a comfy pair of flats, slip-ons, sneakers and warm socks
When I think about long lines, security checks, pushing carry-ons, dealing with customs or running after my kids, the last thing on my mind is a pair of heels while i am at the airport. Most international airports are like small cities. Walking from one end to the other is no easy task. Flats, sneakers and slip-ons are easy to remove at the airport security and will make your walk feel like a breeze. If you’re like me and like taking your shoes off in-flight, these are the best socks for travel. They keep your feet warm in the plane especially during long hauls. Please don’t be caught going around bare feet in the airport or plane. Think about the amount of shoes that pass by that place every day. Here are some great shoe options for travelling
keep your tops classic and oversized
When traveling, I always keep the destination city’s weather and culture in mind. Button shirts are easy to remove or layer. For instance, it was cold when I left Toronto and very hot when I arrived to Dubai. This oversized light denim shirt kept me comfy the whole time. It was also easy to remove upon my arrival to Dubai.

Extra Layer is a must:I like the idea of keeping a long sleeve cardigan or denim jacket in my carry-on along with a change of shirt in case of a spill. It can get quite cold in the plane at times. Leggings are your best friends while traveling: I get it, not everyone likes to wear leggings. I think they are ok as long as you cover your bum. Your shirt should always cover your bum because leggings are not pants. Find a bunch of options here |
Get yourself a good travel bag:
I personally love my Longchamp Pliage tote. It’s one of the best travel bags in the market. It’s simple and very solid. I’ve owned mine for years now and it’s still going strong. You can pretty much throw everything in there. I carry a lot of things around and this bag has never failed me. You can choose between 11 colors.
