A nonnegotiable for me whenever I'm choosing a travel outfit is that it includes some sort of jacket. And as we all know, temperature fluctuations at the airport and on planes are not to be ignored. That said, the last thing I want is to deal with bulky outerwear all day, so lightweight jackets it is. And one of the biggest jacket trends of the season happens to be lightweight and ideal for the airport. Just ask Jessica Alba, who was spotted wearing the trend at JFK this week.
The trend in question is windbreakers, which are also commonly referred to as track jackets, nylon jackets, technical jackets, and sporty jackets; for all intents and purposes, they fall into the same category. Alba's jacket is from Miu Miu, so it's basically the most high-end version of the trend you can get, but windbreakers can be found at a very wide variety of price points this season, so not to worry.
Given the popularity of the windbreaker trend and how smart they are for travel days, I predict we're going to see a lot of cool dressers following in Alba's footsteps this fall—myself included. So keep scrolling to see her outfit for yourself and shop my favorite windbreakers on the market right now.
