The Base Layer
I always start with something lightweight and fitted underneath so I’m comfortable if the plane gets warm, but I can easily layer over it when it inevitably gets freezing
Such a good airport base layer because it’s simple, fitted, and goes with basically everything. I love wearing something like this under an oversized hoodie or crewneck so I can easily take layers off if the plane gets warm without ruining the outfit...
BDG Ribbed Square Neck Tank Top
A classic little white tee that works with basically any airport outfit. It’s easy, comfy, and perfect with joggers, leggings, or wide-leg pants — especially when I want a simple base layer that still looks clean and put together.
BDG Solid Short Sleeve Tee
A really good travel basic when I want a little more coverage than a tank. The cotton-modal fabric feels soft and lightweight, so it’s comfy for a long flight without feeling bulky, and it layers perfectly under a hoodie, crewneck, or jacket.
Cotton Modal Long Sleeve Tee
Easy Bottoms
Nothing stiff or restrictive on a flight. These are the bottoms that give me room to move and sit comfortably without looking like I rolled out of bed.
These are such a good airport sweatpant because the barrel-leg shape makes them feel a little more styled than basic sweats. They’re still super comfy for a long flight, but the silhouette gives the outfit some shape so it feels intentional instead o...
Full Length Sweatpants
These are such a good airport pant because they give the look of denim without actually feeling like jeans. The soft, relaxed fabric makes them way more comfortable for sitting on a long flight, but they still look polished enough that you don’t feel...
rag & bone Track Pants
Another great long-flight option if you want maximum comfort. These feel extra soft and cozy without looking sloppy, and the relaxed fit makes them perfect for sitting for hours while still looking cute with a fitted tank, crewneck, or sneakers

The Layer I Always Bring
Planes are either freezing or weirdly warm, so a removable layer is non-negotiable. Bonus points if it doubles as a blanket
A great airport layer when I want the outfit to feel a little more styled than a sweatshirt. The boyfriend fit gives you plenty of room to layer underneath, and I love that it instantly makes leggings, sweats, or a simple tee look more put together.
Pilcro Weston Denim Boyfriend Jacket
Such a good layering piece for travel when I want extra warmth without feeling bundled up. It keeps your core cozy, gives you plenty of room to move, and is easy to throw over a long sleeve or sweatshirt when the plane gets freezing
The North Face Women's Vest
Such a cute airport layer when I want the outfit to feel a little more elevated. The print adds enough interest that even a super simple base outfit feels styled, and the belted shape keeps it from feeling too bulky or shapeless for travel
NVLT Printed Belted Jacket
Airport Shoes
Comfortable enough for terminals, security, connections, and walking around after landing — but still cute with the outfit. I always look for shoes that are easy to walk in and won’t have me regretting my choice halfway through the travel day.
So cute and honestly goes with almost any airport outfit. I love a sneaker that feels sporty but still looks styled, and these are easy to pair with joggers, leggings, wide-leg pants, or a matching set without having to think too hard about it
New Balance 1906R Sneakers
The ultimate cozy airport shoe. These are so easy to slip on and off, super comfortable for long travel days, and they make even a basic sweats outfit feel cute and intentional. Perfect when comfort is the priority but you still want the outfit to lo...
UGG® Disquette Heritage Slippers
Such a cute travel shoe when I want something easy to slip on but a little more polished than a slipper. The mule shape makes airport security and long travel days so easy, and they still give that sporty sneaker look that works with joggers, legging...
Gola Cleora Mule Sneakers
The Finishing Touches
The little things that make a basic travel outfit feel intentional while also making the actual travel day easier. A hat, cozy socks, or a fun scarf can completely change a simple tee-and-sweats airport look.
As an LA native, I’ll always love a Dodgers hat — and the deer print makes this one feel way more fun than a basic cap. Animal print is having such a moment right now, so it adds the perfect little pop of detail to an otherwise simple airport outfit.
'47 MLB Doe Print Baseball Cap
Perfect for cold travel days when your jacket or sweatshirt doesn’t have a hood. I love that it gives you the coziness of a scarf but also covers your head when the airport or plane is freezing — such an easy extra layer without packing a bulky hat.
Long Knit Hood Scarf
A simple baseball cap is one of my easiest airport outfit tricks. This one adds that sporty LA feel without competing with the rest of the outfit, and it’s perfect for travel days when I don’t feel like doing much with my hair.
'47 Cotton Mini Logo Baseball Cap
Such an easy way to make a simple airport outfit feel more styled. I love a little triangle scarf like this with a basic tee, sweatshirt, or jacket — it adds a cute pop of color and pattern without taking up any space in your bag
Striped Triangle Scarf
An easy little detail that makes a travel outfit feel more put together. I love a cute sock with sneakers or clogs, and these are perfect for keeping your feet cozy on a cold plane without feeling bulky
Double Cuff Trouser Socks
Matching Sets
For the days I do not want to think about an outfit at 5 a.m. A matching set makes me look instantly put together with basically zero effort
Another really good plane layer when I want something a little cleaner than a hoodie. It’s soft, roomy, and easy to throw over a tank without feeling bulky — cozy enough for a long flight but still polished enough that I don’t feel sloppy walking thr...
Oversized Crew | lululemon
Such a good travel pant when I want something comfy but a little more put together than sweats. The wide-leg fit gives you plenty of room to sit comfortably for hours, and they still look sleek enough to wear straight from the airport to whatever you...
High-Rise Wide-Leg Pant | lululemon
These are basically made for travel days — super comfy, relaxed, and still cute enough to feel put together at the airport. I love the oversized fit for long flights because nothing feels tight or restrictive, and they’re easy to style with a fitted ...
Oversized Jogger | lululemon
Such a cute travel hoodie when I want something cozy but with a little more texture than a basic sweatshirt. The waffle fabric makes it feel more elevated, and the oversized full-zip fit is perfect for layering on cold planes without feeling too bulk...
