Today, air travel became kind of fashion prison. First of all, you need to look like a normal human being. Secondly, you should survive in this recycled air during twelve hours. Looks impossible to me. In the end, you look like a man who slept in the dumpster or going to attack yacht club. 😅
But the first rule is that you should give up the thoughts about creating an impression. It doesn’t matter. Gate agent, flight attendants, the one who spilled your Sprite – they are non-player characters in the nightmare of the economy class. Comfort is important, but why not adding a stylish wrapper?
“Elevated Comfort” is the concept behind that. Think about the clothes you would wear for some running errands on Sunday and make them better in two times. The denim should be avoided here. Forget about wearing jeans during long haul, as you will regret this decision in three hours. Choose some high quality joggers. Not grey sweats you sleep in, but something like Vuoli or Alo Yoga joggers that can be mistaken for tailored pants from the distance.
Moreover, the layering is your best friend. The air temperature is variable in an airplane. At some point, you feel yourself in the Sahara Desert, at another point – in the Arctic tundra. Start from a fitted thermal or cotton tee and put on hoodie or cashmere crew neck. 😉
The structures are okay, but no blazers for you. Avoid anything that is too tight and with the rigid buttons. Because in the end you need to be able to fit into pretzel position in the seat and nap without losing blood circulation.
The footwear is another area where most of the travelers make mistake. Forget about hiking boots or strappy sandals! Choose some slip-ons. Leather sneakers by Cole Haan or comfortable Allbirds are great option for security check and blood circulation. If you cannot quickly take off the shoes sitting in airplane seat, then you are choosing the wrong pair of shoes.
In terms of the accessories, they should be minimalistic. Large watch is very annoying if you want to lean your head on your arm. Avoid rings and bracelets that may become the problem in security line. You can use some good scarf or wrap that will play the role of blanket and give you accents.
The goal is to look like a man who has life, not like a one who goes to the military operation. If you choose basics made of premium fabrics, you will not look like a slob after landing. You will look tired, which is the most honest look for the flight.
