Flights are long and uncomfortable but that doesn’t mean you should look sloppy. Comfortable leisure wear can still look as good Most people spend so much time obsessing over what to pack for travel and pay little to no attention on the travel attire. Here are some tips of what dos and don’ts when it comes to airport dress codes.
DO’S
Bring a cardigan
Airports can get pretty cold so a cardigan is a great way to maintain style and keep warm at the same time.
Wear a maxi dress or skirt
This is very comfortable for moving around the airport and sitting through your designated travel time.
Wear socks
These are great for warmth in the plane and to keep your toes germ free when you remove your shoes at the airport. You will protect your feet from becoming bacteria magnets
Wear compression socks or legwear
These help prevent blood clots and come highly recommended to pregnant women or people with pre-existing medical conditions. You might have to consult with your doctor first.
Carry a big purse
A big purse will come in handy for materials that you will need easy access to. It can even double up a carry-on bag. It can also act as an accessory to your simple outfit.
DON’TS
Don’t wear a belt
You don’t want to the hassle of unbuckling it and putting it through the scanner with a whole line behind you. Opt for well-fitting pants and no baggy sweats or pajamas, please!
Do not over accessorize
A little sparkly of jewelry has the ability to transform a simple outfit into something classy. You might have to save them for occasions that don’t involve security metal detectors. However, if you need them with your particular outfit, save them in your carry on and wear them once you land.
Do not wear ‘fancy shoes’
Comfortable slip ons will do just fine. Avoid gladiator sandals and boots with zippers and laces. You are aiming for comfortability so avoid wearing your heels because who knows if you might have to run to.
Do not wear underwire bras
These wires can trigger sensitive metal detectors leading to a pat down. To avoid all these go for a sports bra or a padded bra.
