When I first started traveling, I always spent much too much time (days) agonizing about what to wear on the plane or train. Since I now often fly first class, I needed an outfit that would allow me to sit back and relax if necessary (racing to catch a flight, anyone? ) but yet appear elegant and professional.
Lightweight 7/8-length pants from Lululemon are what I'm now wearing. They offer a comfortable drawstring waist and many pockets for storing essentials while traveling. In these, I have a wonderful sensation. Companies like Aday, Everlane and M.M. LAFLEUR also offers similar styles of trousers. Find a comfortable pair, get a few more, and use them as the foundation for a travel ensemble.
I pair my baggy trousers with a fitted shirt to get the ideal balance of form and function. I'm wearing a black ribbed tank from Athleta with a high neck for my summertime travels. It flattens my stomach and tucks easily into my jeans. This pants-and-top set makes me feel both put-together and at ease, which is especially helpful when jet lag and the blues start to set in after a long trip. I felt fine the whole time.
The air at airports and on aircraft is really cold! A long, comfortable blazer is a great way to stay warm without sacrificing the polished style of my travel uniform. You should also include this in your suitcase if your journey will take you to different climates. A sleek cardigan is another option for a stylish travel uniform if you don't like blazers.
I give you major props if you don't mind scurrying around airports and railway stations in high heels. Flat, uncomplicated shoes that go with your uniform are a good choice for those of us who need a little bit of extra support and comfort. When I travel, I always bring along an extra pair of shoes in case one of them begins to ache or feels uncomfortable as a result of travel gas or a change in the temperature. My go-to brands are Vans, Yosi Samra (the world's most comfy leather flats), and Birkenstock.
It bears repeating that tourist spots may be ice chilly. In case I need some additional warmth or protection from the weather, I pack a neutral-colored, folding blanket scarf.
When going through airport security, it may be a hassle to take off all of your jewelry, and it can also be a nuisance if your jewelry gets stuck on your suitcase or a door. To keep track of travel proper time with a splash of color, I wear a classic Swatch watch and complement it with a bracelet by Gorjana, one of my favorite jewelry designers. If you've made it to first class (or are trying to), you should treat yourself to something extra special. The Hermès Twilly scarf is my standard issue. The beautiful patterns may be worn as an extra bracelet, wrapped around the neck like a scarf, or hung from a purse as an accessory.
It may seem like a lot of work to put together the perfect travel uniform, but trust me when I say it will be worth it every time you pack your bags. Envision always going about your day feeling confident, at ease, and presentable in your surroundings. This is taken care of for you by wearing a travel uniform, which also eliminates the need to fret about what to pack the night before departure. The components are straightforward: bottoms, a blouse, a jacket, a scarf, some shoes, and some accessories, and you're set. So, go out and buy; the perfect uniform for your next trip is waiting for you.
Among the many considerations when designing the ideal travel outfit is making sure it is both comfortable and has enough storage space for all of your essentials. When I travel, I wear a long, loose-fitting T-shirt or sweater as a top so that I am not exposed when stooping and lugging bags and passing through security checkpoints.
Finding an outfit you feel comfortable in takes the uncertainty out of packing, and it's one less thing to be concerned about while you're rushing to the airport, much like having a pair of travel toiletries at the ready. It cuts down on the time you need to spend getting ready for your vacation significantly.
