Travel

Travel attire can be tricky. You want to be comfortable on the flight, but you don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed. If you’ve been in an airport recently, you know people are confused on this issue. There was a time when people would actually dress up to travel. Men would wear a jacket with a nice shirt and slacks. I’m not saying we all have to dress up, necessarily, but is it too much to ask that you get out of your pajamas? Let’s pull it together, and travel in style. It doesn’t take much. In fact, be smart about it and wear some of the pieces you will use on your trip.

What to wear

Put on a structured shirt in an easy fabric over jeans. Then pop on a jacket that will also work with the pieces you packed for the trip. In that same frame of mind, choose a shoe. A ruffle gladiator will read updated, and “in the know”. Last, pick a tote that pulls the look together. The tote should relate to the shoes as well as the other pieces in your outfit. Trust me, you’ll not only feel better walking through the airport like this but you’ll be received well. Avoid the ‘juicy’ sweats and sneakers!

      Great outfit! Might do a variation of it, sans jacket, for my trip to Chicago at the end of the month. Those ruffle gladiators are coooool!

      I've gotta disagree with you on the gladiators… wearing a slip-on shoe (preferably with light socks) is much easier to get in and out of when going through security! Anything with buckles is a total pain.

      Everything else in the outfit looks great though. I loathe it when people wear pajamas on airplanes :(

      I love that outfit! I've had challenges to my usual travel style in the summer since it's been over 100 for over 3 weeks, total. Layering is key! I'd swap the silk blouse for a tank out of necessity, but this is perfect! Especially love the gladiators, but I usually wear slides and tote along a pair of socks for the security line!
