What to Wear in the Air

Deciding what to wear for a long flight is always quite the conundrum. At least, it always is for me. As a self-proclaimed fashionista, I cringe at the thought of stepping off the plane looking wrinkled and frumpy or in a mess of sweats. Of course, nobody wants to be caught in a constricting and uncomfortable outfit on an airplane, where you’re already stuck in the same position for such a long time. So what’s a girl to do? Since I’m leaving tomorrow, I thought it was about time I figured something out.

The outfit that I put together [below] is both comfortable and stylish. Jeans (preferably with a wider leg) are the best bet for comfort without appearing slovenly, and I tried to find a pair that won’t stretch out too much with wear. I paired those with a cute blouse and a colorful cardigan to keep warm, and I tried to keep the jewelry to a minimum, since I wouldn’t want it getting caught on anything. The slingback heels are a testament to just how girly I am, but they are easy to slip on and off while on the plane. To complete the look, I added a roomy, patterned tote (for magazines, my iPod, some real food, etc.).

It is hard to choose what to wear when traveling comfort is obviously a must, but many people will be seeing you and who knows who will be picking you up? I think Kirsten Dunst's stylish casual looks are perfect for this. A big bag and comfy flats are my number one picks.

I tend to freeze in airplanes, so I would need a lot more than just a blouse and a cardigan!! But your outfit does look great, so if you don't have the habit of turning to popsicle like me I would go for it!
