On my most recent trip to the airport, I was traveling with some friends to Tulum, and when I met my friends at the gate, our contrasting outfits stood out to me. I was wearing a matching sweatsuit with flat sandals and a fitted baby tee while my friends wore jeans, casual tops, and hats. Some of my friends even traveled in heels. Personally, I take the comfortable route when it comes to travel looks.

Traveling is my number one opportunity to wear all of my coziest athleisure sets all day long. I mean, no one really loves to sit in the airport or on an airplane all day and be uncomfortable. However, my friends' stylish approach to airport fashion has inspired me to step it up a little, and when I thought about it, I came up with three easy outfit formulas I can wear that don't sacrifice comfort.

Keep scrolling to see the airport looks I'll be traveling in all summer long.

Athleisure Workout Set

I love a good set for the airport, especially for long flights. If I'm going a far distance, you'll rarely see me in anything else. I usually style my workout sets with flat sandals that are easy to slide off at security or a pair of sneakers. I also wear a baseball cap or trucker hat while I travel.

Basic Maxi Dress + Flat Sandals

This outfit is my summer wear-anywhere outfit. I'd recommend this look for a short flight or a flight to a warm destination. My favorite thing about casual maxi dresses is I feel like I'm wearing a nightgown. They're that comfortable.

Baby Tee + Loose Pants

This is the ultimate cool-girl travel look. You can style this outfit with flat sandals or sneakers, and it is chic enough to wear to plans straight from the airport. I'd wear this look if I was traveling and had to hit the ground running as soon as I landed.
