Dressing Well at the Airport Is Actually Really Easy: Here's How
Sponsor Content Created With Who What Wear, Target
If dressing for the airport stresses you out, today is the day that ends. If dressing for the airport doesn’t stress you out but you still never end up happy with your outfit, today is the day that also ends. Lastly, if you want to look like a stylish traveler but don’t necessarily have a model-off-duty’s budget, well, you know what I’m going to say next.
My friends, I have found the formula for an airport outfit that works every time. How do I know? I did some calculations, some online shopping, and some causal stalking of Getty Images’ celebrity airport image archive, and here we are. With a little visual help from my favorite models of the moment, continue for the four steps to the perfect travel look and to shop what you’ll need for each—all with affordable items from our very own Who What Wear collection for Target.
Step One: Easy Outerwear
Throw on a roomy, casual, and cool jacket. Think anything denim, in the trench family, or an easy blazer or military style.
Shop outerwear
Step Two: Cute-But-Comfortable Top
For a failproof outfit, skip the oversize sweatshirt and opt for a blouse that looks sleek but feels like you could fall asleep in it.
Shop tops
Step Three: Polished Pants
I know you want to wear leggings, but trust me when I say that you’ll feel so much more put-together in wide-leg trousers or paper bag–waist pants.
Shop pants
Step Four: Top It Off
Last but not least, make like Gigi Hadid and add on the accessories. Whether it’s a weekend bag, stylish shoes, a comfortable scarf (or all of the above), they make all the difference.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
