EmRata, Kim Kardashian, and Kristen Bell Prefer *This* Airport Staple Over Leggings and Trousers
Celebrities may have access to the most luxurious travel wardrobes on the planet, but even style icons like Emily Ratajkowski, Kim Kardashian, and Kristen Bell rely on one simple airport essential—and it’s not workout leggings or black pleated trousers. Instead, they consistently reach for one of fashion’s most reliable cold-weather staples: the sweater dress. As someone who has spent years refining my own closet, I’ve learned that while trends come and go (goodbye, puff-sleeve dresses and ultra-distressed denim), the best sweater dresses never lose their place, especially if you're clocking in thousands of miles in air travel every year. The pieces I invested in years ago still earn prime real estate in my wardrobe today.
With temperatures dropping and holiday travel season approaching, there’s no better time to take a cue from the A-list and lean into the ease and polish of a great sweater dress. I combed through countless options and narrowed the field to the best sweater dresses worth adding to your rotation. Happy shopping!
