travelling/flight outfit - tell me what to wear

[permaquandry]

Wanna go less comfy-sporty and more chic on my holiday flight this year. Tell me what is the perfect outfit please.....am size 8, aged 36 and dress fairly 'trendily'....ta everso

When are you traveling and where are you going?
How long is your flight (overnighter?)?

A simple knee length jersey dress with cashmere wrap or cardi...

Just 2 hrs, off to spain next week, with DH and young DCs. I know it's doesn't seem a big deal but we normally go out of season and I wear jeans etc. This time I wanna go summery and trendy. Ta

Two hour flight you can more or less wear anything you like. Bring a cardy, as the air con on the plane can be brutal.

I was going to ask a similar thing! I normally wear my heaviest things so my case is lighter, then see more glamorous peeps at the airport and feel [envy ]

The flight is an hour!!!

Ok then two hours. Don't think you need wardrobe advice. Loll

if traveling with young children make sure you take a change of clothes for yourself and them in your had luggage, like leggings and a vest, my daughters nappy leaked when she was sat on my lap and my son managed to spill his drink over me and all i had was spare clothes for them, don't recommend wearing white either, have a great time.

I'm going to be wearing a jersey maxi dress, a little cardigan, flat glads. Will have socks and a pashmina in my bag.

I've got lipbalm, a tiny perfume bottle and some eye gel in my carry on, so that I can pretend to be glam at least!

Those items need to go in a plastic bag through security though.

Yes, I know. I have a little Muji zipup clear bag for them.

This is how I dress for a flight (in fact I have those exact same harems - Hush is fabulous :) ) but I wear a cardigan instead of blazer. I always take a pashmina with me together with moisturiser for my face and hands.

I was just about to come on and ask the same question, but for a 14 hours flight, stopover in Dubai. Any ideas? And for what to carry in hand luggage too? No kids, just me! Size 10/12, 5ft 9.

It's like asking what to wear on a train.
Weirdos

I just wear the heaviest stuff I want to take so I can get more in the case.

I just fancied some s+b inspiration, this topic is for people who are interested in style/fashion etc. May be quite basic enjoyment but tis enjoyable, none the less. Thx for the replies, got some nice tailored floral trews from Topshop. Happy with them!

I know what you mean - I always dress 'comfy' for flying, and then get to the airport and feel utterly scruffy. This last time I flew I wore a black (and vair slimming) jersey maxi, ballet shoes, a little linen blazer and a big cotton scarf. And felt like a million dollars AND was comfy (carried lovely snug socks in my bag to change into on the plane.)
