12 Quality Airport Looks That Are Both Cute and Comfortable

If comfort is king, grab a pair of black leggings. They're streamlined, comfortable, and can still look pulled together. These Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant With Pockets ($128) are bestsellers for a reason. They're great for summer travel because they're comfortable without being too heavy, and, plus, they have pockets! We'd pair these with sneakers and a classic T-shirt and jacket.

No matter the season, we always travel with a scarf. Airplanes can get cold, and this scarf can also double as a blanket. This Nordstrom Tissue Weight Wool & Cashmere Scarf ($99) is supremely lightweight but also super warm and comes in a bunch of colors.

One of our best travel hacks is to wear your bulkiest coat and shoes on the plane so it doesn't take up valuable suitcase space. If you're traveling this summer, you don't need a full-on winter coat, but a quality leather jacket is a universal essential. This Zara Faux Leather Jacket ($70) is affordable and looks good with everything.

You can't go wrong with a matching sweatsuit. This Pangaia 365 Hoodie ($150) and 365 Track Pants ($120) are made of cotton, so they're not too heavy and not too threadbare. This set comes in over a dozen colors, but we think black is a great essential, and, plus, it's less likely to show dirt and stains.

Consider these Alo High-Waist Trouser Wide Leg Pants ($118) a step up from your everyday sweats. They're made of terry, so they're super comfortable, but they look elevated and pulled together. Pair it with a T-shirt and sweater or jacket.

A T-shirt is a travel essential. Picking a quality, well-fitting T-shirt looks great with sweatpants or trousers, and it's a comfortable top that's also easy to wash, making it great for long flights. This Old Navy EveryWear Slub-Knit T-Shirt ($8, originally $13) is affordable and adorable; at under $10, you can pack a few extra in your carry-on.

Planes can be freezing, so it's important to pack layers even if you're going somewhere super hot. This Nordstrom Ribbed Sweater ($41-$50, originally $69) isn't too heavy, making it a great choice for flights. Paired with a scarf and pants, you'll feel so comfortable.

These Beyond Yoga Spacedye Out of Pocket High Waisted Midi Leggings ($99) have been this editor's go-to travel legging for the last year. They're really thick, so they're comfortable on longer flights, and the side pockets are so useful to hold your phone or hand sanitizer for easy access. They come in a few colors, but we love darker colors for travel.

If you're going on a shorter flight, we like a jumpsuit because it's super comfortable. This Lovers and Friends Arden Jumpsuit ($198) is made of sweatshirt material, and the tie waist can be tightened or loosened for comfort. If you're going on a longer flight, though, a jumpsuit can be tricky because of the bathroom situation, so take that into consideration.

A quality sweatshirt is always a good idea. Choose a basic style in a plain color to look streamlined and elegant even though you're still comfortable. We have a few colors of this Zara Basic Sweatshirt ($20) and think it's soft and perfect for travel.

If you like the look of pants but want to be comfortable, pick up these Frame The Jetset Flare ($198) pants. They've got the look of jeans but pull on and have no zipper. They look great with sneakers or boots and are engineered to be the perfect travel pant.

If you want something light-colored and lightweight, go with this matching Alo Micro Waffle Sierra Short Sleeve Top & Micro Waffle High-Waist Pleasant Wide Leg Pant Set ($172). This is a great example of a cozy outfit that still looks pulled together. Throw that leather jacket over top and you have an easy, functional airport look.
