30 Chic Airport Outfits: The Best Minimalist Looks to Travel In

By Gemma Prior


Airport outfits don’t need to be styled based purely on the idea of comfort. We certainly want something that will remain comfortable while we’re travelling, but the option for comfort by no means needs to eliminate chic style from the equation. 

After all, for many people, the end of their flight will not deliver them to a holiday destination and time for relaxing. For some, it will mean disembarking and heading straight to a work-related occasion. 

So while we certainly look for outfits that will not create discomfort while we’re onboard, we might wish for airport outfits that are a little more smart casual, rather than something you’d wear while cleaning the house. 

The travel outfits I’ve shared here were created using a styling concept I always follow: a capsule wardrobe. 

Capsule wardrobes are those where pieces of clothing are carefully selected based mainly on their versatility and adaptability. 

Those pieces you can mix and match to create a variety of outfits for different occasions. Whether you’re dressing pieces up a little for a dinner or business meeting, or dressing them down for a relaxed day strolling the streets, they offer so many options. 

The focus is on having a smaller wardrobe, but endless possibilities. These wardrobes make creating outfits far easier, they help you save money, and most importantly, help reduce waste and landfill.

And when planning airport outfits and our wardrobe options while we’re away these are the benefits we want to help us pack a suitcase that isn’t splitting at the seams! 

In the ideas below I’ve included some of the wardrobe staples we use so often such as jeans, a white shirt or t-shirt, and a black coat.

Some may think that jeans are not what they would class as a relaxed and comfortable piece suitable for a flight. Yet some of the styles of jeans that are available, such as the barrel leg jeans or the loose fit jeans, are certainly a comfortable option. And we all know how versatile jeans are, so they’re one of those pieces in the travel bag that will serve many purposes, both casual and smart casual, throughout your trip.

I’ve also included some others you may not have expected such as a tailored short, denim shorts and a long denim skirt. 

However, these sorts of pieces are also very versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

So keep scrolling to find 30 airport outfits I’ve created to make packing simpler and your travel wardrobe more enjoyable!

Plus, with each of the ideas you’ll no doubt see even more ways to adapt a look and create something new, whether it’s simply by swapping a flat sandal for a heel, adding a belt, or choosing a different bag.  

Enjoy!
