What to wear? Looking at White company for jersey type trousers and top. But don't want to look like wearing my pyjamas, but I would like clothes with comfort. Any ideas for something stylish but suitable for long flight? TIA xx

I agree some gret tips here, love the empty bottle tip. I guess it's personal choice if I want to dress in comfort with style or not.

Personally I am on the side of soft slip on shoes, cashmere socks for in flight, jersey trousers, big pants with liners, long vest, long sleeve lose jersey top with cashmere cardigan. the last time I had one of those button on one side asymmetric cashmere wraps which was lovely, just like a comfort blanket Grin
I take spare pants, vest, socks and a wash kit with me.

Diva, it's completely your choice. I am sorry if it sounded rude, I genuinely don't understand why it matters to you so was hoping to have my horizons broadened. Beauty of MN - allows you to explore points of view you'd never considered.

It's ok Hermione. Being picked up by my DH's friends at the airport so want to look stylish but not overly dressed or frumpy. Also not keen on taking change of clothes I have children and their belongings to mind. It was good I asked, I have learnt a few things today.

Was going to ask the same thing as hermione !
Comfort over style.
Warm things.
Flying to Australia was about the coldest I've ever been whilst supposedly being inside.

These trousers are so comfortable and very flattering. They really are. I wore the smudge print ones, with a navy t-shirt and denim jacket and ballet pumps on a 6.5 hour flight recently. (So did another woman but she had a vest on!)

I love them so much since I got back I have bought nearly every colour!

•Iam• I have those trousers and plan to wear them on my short haul flight this summer. Will be wearing them with these trainers

I'm flying longhaul in just over a week. I am wearing some leggings that are extra comfy, some ballet flats, a long tshirt and a cardigan. I will be really comfy but it also looks ok.

I always take socks with me because my feet get freezing on a plane. The socks they give you are never warm enough.

Love that shoes and trousers, they will look fab together. Will be nice with plain tee and cardigan, possibly waterfall style? Thanks for the link xx
