The Formula To Celebrity Airport Style

Summer is just around the corner and it’s finally time to plan your getaway outfits. From chaotic security checkpoints to long layovers, dressing for the airport can be a head-scratcher moment. But the sky’s the limit (and I don’t mean layering clothes to avoid luggage fees).

There are many ways we can diversify our airport looks, however, let’s unpack some inspiration from our fellow travel experts - the celebrities. Celebrities never shy away from a stylish airport look, so let’s dive into the paparazzi-ready formula.

Athleisure wear has always been a popular travel choice, after all, comfort is key. These pieces are lightweight, breathable and are versatile. Perfect for multiple outings and convenient for an on-the-go lifestyle.

Tracksuits require minimal effort to style. You can purchase them in matching sets or mix and match them to your preference. They can also be layered with other items, making them suitable for different climates!

For those jet lag moments, the hoodie is perfect, throw the hood on and it’s nap time. Most hoodies have kangaroo pockets, which offer the perfect space for your phone or let’s be honest, snacks. You can look stylish and laid-back (and whatever you wear underneath is no one’s business). However, a simple Tank Top under that hoodie is recommended, a wardrobe basic that can help you travel light whilst taking up minimal luggage space. An accessible and budget-friendly staple.

Finish off this look with a sneaker, the travel companion that makes the trip comfortable and manageable. You can never go wrong with sneakers — they are easy to clean and pair well with almost every outfit.

If athleisure wear isn’t your vibe we can turn to another celeb airport go-to; the business casual.

Before your itinerary starts, it’s time to have our main character moment. Business casual attire elevates your look and these put-together statement pieces have a contemporary appeal.

Starting with a timeless wardrobe staple, the oversized blazer. Perfect styled over comfy jeans, leggings or my choice, wide-leg trousers. Wide-leg trousers allow a roomy fit whilst flattering your body shape. They also allow for a relaxed range of motion, which is great for long periods of sitting or walking.

Lastly, finalise your look with the right Accessories. They can help showcase your style, as well as create focal points for your outfit. However, jewellery may trigger metal detectors, so accessories such as totes or sunglasses are viable for less hassle.

They always say “Catch flights, not feelings”, but you might end up just being someone’s airport crush with these looks. Safe travels!
