Walking through the airport looking like you just rolled out of bed (which, let’s be honest, you did) remains the easiest option when it comes to travel style. Sweatpants for days, right? But, what if you could look cute and comfortable? Looking cute while traveling can be just as easy as looking like you got dressed in the dark. With the right travel accessories and essentials, you can look like you tried without really trying at all.
Although the paparazzi with cameras may be MIA, people will definitely take notice to your celeb-level airport style. You will stand out in an endless sea of groufits. When compiling all of the components that go into your look, it’s important to keep in mind that fashion and comfort are both equally important in creating a desirable look and experience.

The outfit you wear may seem like the most crucial part of your style, but the luggage you drag around is the true hub of attention. Suitcases are big, so it’s important to go with a suitcase that captures your sense of style. Whether it's a modern marble suitcase, a fun flowery suitcase or a suitcase that gives you the London look, the bag you roll around will take center stage as you make your way through the airport and plane.
Along with your luggage, you’ll need a carry-on. Matching your carry-on, which may be a smaller suitcase, tote and/or purse, to your luggage will help tie your look together. Depending on what your luggage is like, neutrals may be the safe option here. Neutral carry-ons that look high-end, but are reasonably priced, can be found at Target.
To have the best travel experience, it’s not solely about the luggage or the carry-ons, it’s about what they hold inside. Obviously, your suitcase contains the pieces of clothing you love and want to bring to your destination. In your carry-on, you'll need a few essentials like headphones, reading material (such as a magazine or book), an electronic device and a pillow. People who use these items while navigating through the airport look like they know what they're doing.
The items in your carry-on help accessorize your outfit along with what you decide to do with your hair, jewelry and sunglasses. Pick a hairstyle that suits you and rock it. Any hairstyle, whether it's a messy bun or perfect curls, can look fashionable with the right accessories.
With your luggage and all of your accessories in order, putting together an outfit should be fairly effortless. To accomplish a cute yet comfy look, take advantage of oversized coats, sweaters and flannels. In the summer, try jumpsuits, athletic wear and dresses. No matter the season, layers are key because the temperature on the plane and at your destination may vary.
As for shoes, pick a pair that's easy to take on and off. If you wear sandals, remember to bring socks so you can avoid walking on the unimaginably dirty airport floor with your bare feet.
Once you have all the pieces in place, your travel style will come together and people will mistake you for a celebrity in no time. Make sure to always have a cup of coffee in hand and snacks nearby to make your trip even more enjoyable.
