Your phone is filled with beautiful pictures and the suitcases are bulging with souvenirs. With high spirits you prepare for the journey back. But what are you going to wear?
Of course, you’re not looking forward to being crammed onto a plane like sardines. Nevertheless, you can prepare yourself well with a comfortable airplane travel outfit. In this article, we’ll discuss how to make the transition from hotel to home as smooth as possible.
On the way to the airport
It’s tempting to keep your beach outfit on but remember that most airports have climate control. As a result, the pleasant coolness will quickly feel like a freeze. So, it’s wise to at least put on long pants before you check out (changing in a public restroom is not recommended). You can maintain freedom of movement in your travel outfit by choosing flexible fabrics such as jersey or garments containing elastane (stretch). For example, stretchy sweatpants are highly recommended. Since you must take off your belt for airport security anyway, it is best to leave it off.
While waiting at the gate
Don’t stroll into the terminal on flip-flops or sandals; they’re awkward when you must travel long distances (suddenly). Sneakers support your feet and protect you from unhygienic surfaces. Hiking socks should also be part of your travel outfit. They reduce pressure and prevent your feet and ankles from swelling during the flight. Also be aware that you won’t see your suitcases again until you land. So, make sure you have a few spare pieces of clothing in your hand luggage. Do you always get a little nervous during the check of your travel documents? Wear clothes with inner pockets so that everything is within reach!
High above the clouds
When it comes to your airplane travel outfit, comfort is key. Besides, the air in the plane can get cold. This is where layers come into play. It is better to be able to take something off than to shiver under the airline’s thin blankets. We advise you to wear comfortable clothing made of cotton, fleece, or merino wool. So put on a roomy T-shirt topped with a comfortable sweater or vest with a zipper. When flying, you do not always have the space or opportunity to take clothes out of your hand luggage. So, wear clothes that you won’t mind getting dirty or wrinkled. This way you will arrive at your destination in comfort.
