I remember when people dressed up for airplane travel. I miss that.
Travel can be a very harried proposition, and I’ve always admired women who arrive at the airport looking calm and pulled together, not looking like a bunch of random parts that popped out of a jack-in-the-box (which is how I used to feel). So in the true style of the French woman who looks confident and classy for any occasion, this is something I’ve worked on.
People want to be comfortable – I get that. You want to look casual – of course! And so how do you travel comfortably and emerge confidently, not looking like you just fell out of a tree?
Here’s some head-to-toe suggestions:
One more tip – drink water every time it’s offered, and go easy on the coffee and adult beverages. Air travel is very dehydrating, and you’ll look and feel better when you arrive at your destination if you’re not shriveled like a prune.
On my way from Florida to LA last week, a young lady at the airport approached me and complimented me, saying “you look like you work in fashion”.
“Thank you, I’m working on it,” I smiled and replied.
Bon voyage!
Yes!!!!! It seems no matter what I do on the flight, I look and feel haggard upon arrival.
I have been doing the water but thanks for the ideas on the feet and definitely the bag!
I don’t understand ever how women look so beautiful on a plane. How are they pressed and perfect.
It’s just that one woman who puts me to shame!!
Elegance has always been appreciated and admired, and rightly so.
Love your style, Kelley!
Love it!!! So true! I am usually the one looking like I fell out of a tree!!!!
