Granted, it's not always easy to look your best when you're 20,000 feet up in the air, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort when travelling. After all, every day is an opportunity to dress to impress - so why should you slack at an airport? Follow our handy tips below to learn how to navigate the departures lounge in style...
Layer Up
It doesn't matter if you're travelling during the winter or summer, wearing an airport outfit with different layers is a great shout practicality-wise. And layers are especially handy if the place you're heading to experiences a different climate to the UK. When departing, you can wear a statement tee, cosy cardi and jacket (which you can reserve at the Heathrow Boutique and pick up from Superdry), before whipping off your outerwear when you hit hot soil. But be warned: with an outfit this comfy, you're in danger of not wanting to take anything off!
Fake A Good Hair Day
No matter how you style it, hair always seems to feel flat and limp after a long flight. But don't worry: you can combat this by chucking on a stylish hat to cover your roots and disguise slept-on hair. Don't have one to hand? Simply reserve a floppy hat from the Heathrow Boutique and pick it up from Accessorize.
Joggers And Trainers Are Your Friends
People who travel in heels, we salute you. Just how you do it? While we're in awe of your dedication, we would much prefer to wear some sporty luxe tracksuit bottoms with slip-on trainers (dead comfy and oh-so-understated). Not got any suitable footwear for your travels? Don't fret: remember that you can reserve a pair of sneakers from the Heathrow Boutique and pick them up from Kurt Geiger.
Go Monochrome
Classy and sophisticated, a head-to-toe monochrome look is one of the easiest - and chicest - looks for navigating the airport in. In fact, you really can't go wrong with black, white and grey. Side note: black lends itself nicely to flying - if you accidentally end up spilling a drink on your lap, nobody will notice! And don't forget to complete your look with some slick black sunnies (which you can reserve from the Heathrow Boutique and pick up from Sunglass Hut), as these are perfect for both the summer and winter sun.
