The airport look has come a long way since your mum used to head off on the annual holiday dressed to the nines, brandishing a branded BA flight bag, her newly minted perm in all its glory, and wearing a shell suit to show she was ‘with it’. Today’s airport travel outfit ideas are more about laid-back luxe and the ability to move around with ease.
We’ve all been there, lugging big cases around, trying to squeeze them into overhead lockers that are just too small whilst some bloke moans about lack of legroom. Fear not though, because EGO has all the outfit ideas for travelling and looking on point whilst mooching at the airport, and all the advice to make flying in comfort look effortlessly glam. Let’s do this; runway style doesn’t wait.
Nobody should look ‘plane’: Knockout airport travel outfit ideas
The holiday starts at the airport, right? You meet the girls, inhale a prosecco in under ten seconds, and start to plan the shenanigans that await you in your chosen destination. But you know your girl gang too well and if there’s one thing they’re known for it’s glamming it up for the departure lounge. Don’t worry though, you too can rival them in the style stakes by fusing both comfort and cute.
Start with a hoodie. It’s a lesson in life, not just airports. Always start with a hoodie. The Oversized High Neck Hoodie is a lesson in understated dressing with its subtle smoky grey hue and casual drop-shoulder styling. It’s super comfy too with its fleecy borg lining and ribbed cuff detailing. Why not pair it with the Scoop Neck Cinch Waist Jumpsuit in flattering black? This slinky jumpsuit is a go-to when on the move and it’s perfect for travelling because the waist detailing sucks you in, allowing you to avoid the annoying post-flight bloat.

You don’t need to ‘wing’ it when it comes to outfit ideas for travelling
Layering your outfit is another top tip when it comes to what to wear to the airport. It means that if you are flying long haul and subject to big variations in temperature and extended hours of travel you can cast off extra layers with ease. Choose a snug but breathable pair of leggings like the High Waist Stretch Leggings in Black and then add a cosy t-shirt like the Oversized Crucifix Detail T-Shirt in Grey. To add a stylish finish, consider draping a long-knitted cardigan over your shoulders. We love the Button-Up Swirl Detail Cardigan in Cream Knit because it’s super cute and can be popped over lighter pieces if you are headed to hotter temperatures, or added to outfits during any kind of trip. It’s such a versatile knitwear staple.
Keep your layered look strong with the strategic addition of an oversized scarf. If it’s a cold destination where you’re headed then you’ll need the extra snuggle factor, but even if you’re headed into modestly warm climes you can use the scarf as a blanket on the flight or wrap it over your head and use it as a pillow. Genius! We love the Oversized Scarf in Blush Checked Print because it’s big enough to keep you snug as a bug and its pastel tones go well with pretty much everything else in our wardrobes.
No need for in-flight drama
When you’re on a plane you just want to be comfortable. Hell, you NEED to be comfortable! Help is at hand because there is no more comfortable piece of clothing than a pair of joggers. Fact. EGO has some of the cosiest, most stylish joggers available. The High Waist Joggers in Beige are a staple in our wardrobes before we even think about airport apparel. Why? They go with everything and they’re super comfy.
If you fancy a jogger with a few more details then opt for the Pink Tie Waist Joggers with their ‘Made On Earth’ slogan print and a fashionable straight-leg. Pair them with the matching Long Sleeved Logo Cropped Hoodie for maximum ‘matchy-matchy’ points. What more could you ask for, doll?
If you’re still masking whilst on your travels then grab a cute mask to make your airport prep complete. The Tiger Print Face Mask is a sweet yet sensible option. Your in-flight kit is now complete. You can thank us later! Grab us a bottle from duty-free and we’ll call it even.

Don’t sleep on the solution
We’re often asked about our very top tips for airport travel outfit ideas and we always say to be prepared for a flight delay or cancellation. You might need some little extras to get you through. Why not pack your favourite change of clothes, just in case you need them for an unscheduled snooze or full-on night of airport sleep?
A simple white top is always a good idea and the roomier the better if you’re going to be moving from place to place in search of a bar or a place to bed down. The Short Sleeve T-Shirt with Logo Print is cute and comfortable. Just add the Foldover Waistband Flared Trousers in Black and you have a whole new outfit. Simple jersey pieces like this can easily be folded into your carry-on bag, and hey, if you don’t need them at the airport you have an extra ‘fit for your trip. Bonus.
If a long airport wait worries you, then you’ll want to stay hydrated. Treat yourself (and the girls!) to an oversized cup like the Tumbler with Straw in the chicest of stone hues. You can then do a team top-up of water at the handily placed fountains on the airport concourse. Remember to ensure that you have emptied it of liquids before going through security though. You have been warned…the last thing you want is a delay because you’ve forgotten to get rid of the Red Bull you popped in as a pick-me-up when you got in the cab at hell o’clock in the morning.
At EGO, you’ll discover exactly what to wear to the airport with airport outfits that are cute, comfortable, and stylish. Good holiday energy starts with the right ‘fit so get planning the airport look as soon as your seats are booked. Airport outfit goals are made here at EGO.
