12 Airport Outfits to Wear Beyond Just Baggage Claim

This summer, when it comes to traveling and airport outfits, if you want to switch it up and shift away from athleisure, we have some ideas to inspire you. Think about which outfits you would wear at your destination that are also comfortable enough to be airport-friendly. For example, a slip dress paired with a hoodie, that flowy dress you were planning to wear to dinner with slide sandals, or a pajama suit instead of sweats. Regardless of your styling preferences, just think loose and casual clothing with the right light layers that will allow you to fly in style without sacrificing comfort. 

That being said, these looks ahead will prove that any summer outfit can become an airport outfit when you think outside the box.
