I traveled comfortably for 6 hours in this cool travel outfit!

cool travel outfit How exciting, and how tiring travelling can be, and especially when you are preparing for a long flight. It’s very important that you select the right kind of clothing you need for the trip you have planned. On my last journey, I had a 6-hour flight, so style and comfort were at the forefront for me, with me choosing a travel dress that really helps. Below, I will break down exactly why this outfit was so successful and some guidelines to follow when selecting your own travel outfit!

1. The Perfect Top: Light and Layered

First, comfort is just around the neck, but more specifically, it is the first thing that you wear on your upper body. I had to opt for a casual fabric that is comfortable in a light desert climate. I selected a cotton t-shirt and a warm cardigan. The t-shirt was comfortable and dry and helped reduce sweating, the cardigan was perfect when I got cold in the closed aeroplane cabin. Here’s why layering works so well for travel:

• Breathable Material: Cotton or linen formal shirts are good for air travel as they do not make you hot no matter how fidgety you are during a journey. Pick a colour that will not easily show the stains coming with the spills.
• Layer for Versatility: Aeroplanes are known to be getting very hot at surprisingly short times, or very cold vice versa. It’s really great to have that cardigan or jacket on to avoid overheating while also having the option to shed them if you find you are a bit too warm.
• Style Without Sacrifice: A good layering piece also serves a style statement and transforms a simple T-shirt and trouser combination into a fully-fledged outfit.

This I found kept me warm and I was able to adapt with ease should I feel hotter or colder on the plane.

2. Comfy Bottoms:The Game Changer

For bottoms, comfortable stretch joggers were incorporated. It may be chic to wear jeans or restrictive pants but after a few hours of sitting it is going to feel very uncomfortable. Here’s why joggers or similar styles are perfect for travel:

• Elastic Waistbands for Extra Comfort: Joggers wear a comfortable elasticated waist, which provides an adequately fitted look without causing any discomfort. This makes a lot of difference after being seated for several hours.
• Stretch and Flexibility: The fabric is therefore soft and comes with a bit of stretch and this will enable anyone to fidget in their seat during a long flight.
• Casual yet Presentable: Joggers do not have to look casual, boring orBaggy when worn with the right top and shoes especially while boarding or on arrival.

They made it very much easier to move around, stretch or even doze off in my seat during the journey. Also, they were not tacky and could be worn at the airport and my final location.

3. Supportive Footwear: Slip-On Sneakers

While shoewear, shoes are the ultimate factor that determines the overall comfort of an outfit you are wearing. I went for slip-on sneakers, a choice I highly recommend for several reasons:

• Easy to Remove: For the security check and for relaxing on the plane, slip on shoes are ideal. They are easy to remove and wear back again especially during the boarding or any TSA checks which is so advantageous.

• Support and Comfort: Sneakers are stylish, comfortable and provide the support you need to get through busy terminal walking. That extra layer of cushioning proved to be just perfect for the feet during the duration of the trip.
• Breathability: Try to find sneakers with an upper fabric that allows air circulation as a sweaty foot is uncomfortable and leads to odour during long flights.

An equally comfortable slip-sneaker will take you through a long trip comfortably thus you will never experience any discomfort on your feet.

4. Essential Accessories: Scarf and Socks

For this purpose, I decided to take a soft scarf with me and comfortable warm socks. These items might seem minor, but they added extra layers of comfort and warmth:

• Scarf: A scarf is an item of clothing which apart from its primary use as a headgear of an accessory around the neck, can be used as a blanket as well. I needed it to put on my shoulders when the plane got cold, and I also used it as a headrest when I dozed off to sleep.
• Socks: If you like to travel with your shoes off during the flight, it is recommended to put on clean thick socks. They warm my feet and I was able to lay down free from worrying getting germs from the floor of the aeroplane.

In this particular journey these accessories were helpful and made my trip comfortable and friendly for the different weather inside the plane.

5. Other Travel Comfort Tips

In addition to choosing a comfortable outfit, here are a few more tips to make your long-haul flight easier:

• Stay Hydrated: The aeroplane cabin is very dehydrating, carry your refillable water container for you to avoid getting a dry skin. Staying adequately hydrated is also an effective way to fight tiredness and keep skin feeling smooth.
• Pack Snacks: It’s always helpful to bring some food on board with you, because sometimes you really do not want to eat that plane food. Consume snacks that can be eaten with fingers like nuts or proceed with carrying around a granola bar.

• Stretch Regularly: Long hours sitting make you feel so rigid. You can rise from your seat for a while, stretch your legs, or even get up and move around the cabin if it’s safe to do so.

Conclusion:

Long haul flying is more than just getting through the hours of travel in comfort, it is about being able to get on the plane as a tired business person and get off as a revitalized one. The right attire goes a long way, and I learnt my lesson the hard way during my recent 6 hour flight. I decided to wear some breathable fabric, a comfortable but somewhat stretchy jogger, slip-on sneaker, a scarf which is an accessory must for me and a warm sock and was comfortable the entire movie time and for fashion, it was chic.
