COMFORT AND STYLE WHILE FLYING

I have a couple of uniforms for air travel. The one I refer to most relies on a tried and true three rule plan. First, I start with a monochrome base. For me, that’s usually black. Nothing makes the cut if it isn’t infinitely comfortable. Every piece must also be versatile enough to wear with several other looks once I’ve reached my destination.

Vince pants (on sale here and here), Vince top, Moncler sweater (also in ecru),Hogan boots, Dries Van Noten coat

Second, I always wear the bulkiest shoes. Most trips are carry-on which is made possible by wearing the shoes that take up the most space. If I’m traveling to Europe, a lug sole boot has been a given in the rotation for years. They’re essential for navigating uneven cobblestone streets.

My last rule is to top off this very basic ensemble with a stylish coat or jacket. I love having one with me for comfort plus it ups the style factor even if the rest of the outfit is so-so.Same pieces with a shorter coat and sneakers:
Chloe peacoat, Hogan sneakers, Vince pants (I also like these from Theory), Vince top (on sale), Moncler sweater

With this formula, I tweak the uniform depending on mood and destination. Casual black drawstring pants are elevated when worn with either topper. Upon arrival, I’d pair with everything from a tee and scarf to a polished blouse. An elbow length sleeve fitted knit adds a refined touch worn with polished trousers or a pair of jeans. I also love this silhouette with a full skirt for an easy evening look. A textured sweater adds interest and can be worn with any of the previously mentioned pieces. I’m a huge fan of Hogan sneakers. Beyond being extremely comfortable for miles of walking, they haven’t over saturated the market.
