Airport outfits are all over my Instagram feed, so here are some chic-but-comfy ideas for your next trip (2024)

Dressing to the nines is out of the question, especially if you're going long-haul, so put down the heels (yep, even the kitten ones) and look towards your loungewear collection for inspiration. Comfort is king when it comes to airport outfit ideas, but if you're hoping for an upgrade you'll still need to look somewhat put-together. Think matching two-piece set, chunky trainers, gold jewellery and a designer bag.

From night flight-appropriate ensembles, to ones which are ready to be worn to the beach as soon as you land, keep scrolling for the best airport outfits and inspiration.

1. The Cosy-Comfy Airport Outfit

If you're looking for that off-duty model look to wear to the airport, I think I've found it within these four items. Wear the jumper over your vest-clad shoulders when the plane (inevitably becomes stuffy), and the tote in the crook of your arm while you browse duty free.

2. The Plane-To-Pool Airport Outfit

Raring to jump in the pool as soon as you touch down? This knitted set from the new SIMONMILLER x MANGO collection is the easiest, breeziest outfit ever. It'll keep the air con chill off you while you fly, but remain lightweight enough to keep you cool when you step into that abroad heat. Bonus: you can wear your bikini or one-piece swimsuit beneath it for a super speedy sun lounger change.

3. The Quiet Luxury Airport Outfit

Heading straight from the airplane to a five-star luxury Airbnb or hotel? This airport outfit will serve you well. A linen shirt and linen trousers set looks uber chic but is actually quite affordable to pick up. Add the luxe details by way of your accessories, like through this must-have sandals and a tennis bracelet.

4. The Sporty Airport Outfit

If travel is your middle name then a practical, jet-set airport outfit is probably more your forte. This one is ready to sprint to the gate when you are, complete with gym leggings, an oversized hoodie and baseball cap or summer hat for that mysterious, VIP finish.

5. The Ready-For-The-Heat Airport Outfit

If you want everyone to know you're off to somewhere that's really warm, this is the airport outfit for you. You may be a bit chilly at first, but it'll be totally worth it if it means you don't have to de-layer when you reach passport control on the other side.

6. The Influencer-Style Airport Outfit

Take a leaf from all the influencers on the ‘gram and opt for a tracksuit sweater and some cycling shorts as your airport outfit of choice. It won’t let you down in terms of comfort or style, and it'll make for a chic outfit and suitcase pic on your grid. Accessorise with a tote bag that'll hold all of your flight essentials – from book to travel minis – and transform into the perfect beach bag once you've reached your destination.

7. The Night Flight Airport Outfit

Heading somewhere far flung and catching a night flight to get there? You'll be needing a warm and comfortable ensemble to snuggle up in, in that case. My go-to for such outfit is wearing an outfit as close to women's pyjamas as I can get, so some cashmere trousers and a pair of slippers is pretty spot on.
