Forget about learning how to pack for travel, these days there’s an art of dressing for the airport itself. If you’ve ever taken a long-haul flight, you know how important it is to wear something comfy while you scare fellow passengers with your sheet masks.
1. The athleisure look
As we near the 2020s, we just want to thank the 2010s for making athleisure a thing. This super versatile way of dressing made it acceptable for us to pretend we’re constantly hitting the gym. And hey, we’re cool with that, especially because it’s so comfy!
The Gigi Hadid approved style is perfect for the airport, making not only your walk through security a breeze but also ensures you can sleep comfortably in your seat.
