I don't know about you, but I have so much trouble dressing for the airport on hot summer and spring days. I always have and probably always will, but at the present moment, I'm going into summer armed with a handful of outfit ideas that I'm planning to wear to the airport in the coming months. The reason dressing for the airport in the summer is so difficult is pretty obvious: It's hot outside and freezing in the airport and on the planes. Plus, you're going to be confined to small spaces for several hours, and if your outfit is uncomfortable, your travel day might be ruined. On top of that, all anyone does at the airport is people-watch, so you probably want to look chic. In my opinion, the best way to check all of these boxes is with easy, elegant outfits that are comfortable enough to wear to the airport on long days when the temperature might be all over the place.
To guide you out of this predicament, my little fingers spent a lot of time scrolling through Instagram in search of outfits to wear to the airport this summer. Keep scrolling to find out what you need to put these looks together and shop the pieces you might be missing.
Oversize Blazer + Sweatsuit + Sneakers
Button-Down + Baggy Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Tip: Tucking your oversize button-down in will ensure that your airport outfit never looks sloppy.
Style Tip: To make this outfit more summer-friendly, you could easily swap the sweatshirt out for a tee or tank top.
Trench + Sweater + Button-Down + Jeans + Mary Janes
Style Tip: What really sets this quintessential French-girl outfit apart is the sweater draped over the shoulders.
Blazer + White Tee + Baggy Jeans + Slingbacks
Style Tip: An oversize blazer and baggy jeans are polished and comfortable. If kitten heels or slingbacks aren't doing it for you, swap them for loafers.
Tweed Jacket + Black Sweatpants + White Sneakers + Baseball Cap
Style Tip: To easily dress up sweatpants, pair them with a tweed jacket of your choosing.
Oversize Cotton Sweater + White Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Tip: Opt for a 100% cotton sweater so you won't get overheated, and if white jeans seem too risky, wear whatever wash your heart desires.
Long Cardigan + Leggings + Boat Shoes
Style Tip: A long cardigan makes leggings look chic, plus it doubles as a blanket of sorts on the plane.
