Okay, not everyone has the opportunity to fly first class, but if you do have the luxury—or are hoping to get upgraded to business class—know this: what you wear can make all the difference. Let’s face it; the days of getting dressed up for a flight are well in the past, as the dress code for air travel has gone from primped and polished to ultimate comfort.

Polished without feeling tight or constricting, these essentials will make you feel right in place without compromising on comfort.
