Alright jet-setters, this one’s for you. Whether you’re heading to Paris, Palm Springs, or just going home for the weekend, one thing’s for sure: your airport outfit matters. We’re not saying you need to show up to TSA dressed to the nines, but dressing up to go to the airport is a lost art that we need to bring back this travel season.
The vibe for 2025 airport fashion? Elevated comfort meets effortless chic. Think matching sets, chunky sneakers, and layers that say “I travel a lot” even if this is your first flight of the year.
Why a Good Airport Outfit Is So Worth It
A great airport outfit is more than just cute clothes. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, you move through the airport with a whole new level of confidence. Plus, it means you're totally prepared for anything the travel gods throw your way – delays, freezing cabins, or a surprise upgrade to first class (hey, it happens!).
And let’s be honest: you never know who you might run into at the terminal. An old flame, your future soulmate, or your favorite influencer? You’ll be glad you wore the blazer instead of the stained college hoodie. Most importantly, your travel outfit sets the tone for your entire trip. It says, “I’ve got my life together,” even if your suitcase is centimeters away from busting open.

If you’re not quite ready to ditch your airport sweats, a matching set is the easiest way to look put together. It is cozy, coordinated, and way chicer than random leggings and a hoodie. This Travel Set from Frank and Eileen comes in seven airport-ready colors.

A blazer is the ultimate fashion cheat code, and this one from DISSH is pure perfection. I swear by throwing on a chic blazer over literally anything – sweats, leggings, trousers, or jeans – and suddenly your airport outfit goes from "just rolled out of bed" to the most stylish traveler.

Your chunkiest shoe? Wear it to the airport. Not only does it save major suitcase space, but in the summer, a sneaker is the perfect go-to. The New Balance 530s are comfy, cool, and TSA-friendly – because you’ll already have socks on when you slip them off for security.

What to Avoid In Your Airport Fit
- Complicated shoes. We love a high boot, just maybe not for TSA.
- Jeans with no stretch. You will regret it.
- Tight tops with underwire bras. Do yourself a favor and skip the discomfort.
- Anything you can’t easily layer or remove. Cabin temps are unpredictable. Be ready.
