Whenever I book a getaway, be it on home soil or at a greater distance, my thoughts keep returning to one thing. Unlike most people I know, I love packing. From the mental planning of which outfits I want to sport as I stroll down sunny boulevards and sip Mojitos on the beach, to the actual process of rolling up my new cotton dresses and stuffing them in my suitcase, the experience only makes me more eager to get going. And while I usually nail the contents of my luggage (after *a lot* of consideration and last-minute changes), I've always struggled with what to wear as I board the plane (or car, train, bus... You get the idea.)
Over the years, I've learned that this particular ensemble needs to meet a strict list of criteria. Firstly, and most importantly, it must be comfortable. That one is a non-negotiable. No tight jeans or wobbly wooden wedges allowed. It's also crucial to keep two climates in mind when assembling your outfit; the one you're leaving and the one you're arriving into.
Of course, the criteria changes depending on the mode of transport and the destination, so I've put together four different looks with a variety of circumstances in mind. Whether you're jetting off to the Cote d'Azur or staying in the UK for a relaxing staycation, you'll find a suitable travel outfit below, all made up of clever layers and pieces you'll wear again during your trip. Enjoy!
4 Comfy Travel Outfits That Work for So Many Destinations
1. Blazer + Trousers + Loafers
Style Notes: A long stint on an airplane calls for a pair of elasticated-waist trousers, comfort is key after all—for me, nothing else will do. But how to look chic when you're going long haul? The easiest way to keep your outfit on-point is by keeping it simple. Adding a loose blazer and simple tank will keep you looking classic as well as comfortable as ever.

2. Leather Jacket + Shirt + Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: For a quick trip on the Eurostar to Paris or a long car ride for a well deserved break, these sorts of travel outfits need to be not only comfy but practical, too. With packing space scarce as ever (especially if your planning doing a shop on your trip), layering your heaviest items is a must. From leathers to chunky knits, room-hogging boots to jeans, save the space and use them for a casually cool 'fit for the travel day ahead.

3. Blazer + T-Shirt + Trouser
Style Notes: White bottoms? Check. AC-approved jacket? Check. Practical footwear? Check, check, check. This versatile outfit would suit pretty much every journey you have planned.

4. Coat + Trousers + Cap
Style Notes: If you're hopping to a destination with a chill, a layers are must. Stick to lightweight natural fabrics and bundle up in a maxi trench to be ready on arrival for your climate. A cap is handy also as the last thing you want to be fused about is frizz. For extra packing space bring a practical carry on, you can bundle your thinner layers in there.
