Clothes and Beauty for Flying

As per title. What do you recommend for long haul? I want something super comfortable, preferably that doesn’t crease. I need to attempt to look not shit as I’m meeting someone nice the other end. It will be hot when I land.

I was thinking of some LuluLemon joggers but are they worth the hype? Paired with a tank and either sweatshirt or hoodie. I will be wearing trainers through necessity. It doesn’t feel very attractive though.

I was going to wear minimal makeup in the morning and take a small cleanser and moisturiser and redo makeup before I land. I’m flying business class.

For reference, 40s and plus size. No particular budget.

Lots of people wear joggers now. The last time I flew on a longer flight I wore the Lululemon Align wide leg, with a black vest top and bright cardigan. I was comfy and stylish.

I like the dance studio joggers, lightweight and don't bag at the kneee. Personally I size up so they are loose

Change of vest or top for when you arrive so you don't feel too grubby.

Oh, this is me. Flying long-haul in a couple of months (economy unfortunately), hot the other end, and not a clue what to wear to be comfortable and moderately stylish.

Watching with interest.

I have some nice comfy co ords. Kind of smart loungewear rather than tracksuits with a comfy waistband. Go for breathable fibres, you'll be more comfortable.

A big blanket scarf is always useful, thin stretchy and a fine knit.

A cashmere eye mask (tk maxx)

Some loose fluffy slipper socks

Go for neutrals

Sleek hair that can be slept in comfortably, take a comb

A neck pillow for a night flight

Some pillow spray, lip balm, moisturiser, hand wipes and hand sanitizer too.

Could you not bring some sandals or flip flops/sliders to change into when you land - would be awful to arrive in a hot country in trainers?
Tank top/hoodie/leggings or joggers sound lovely - wear them in fresh light colours. Could change into some jogger shorts for landing?

Beauty wise. Hydrate hydrate hydrate. Huge 2L water and keep filling it up.
Hyaluronic acid serum and a hydrating face spray. Maybe some collagen eye patches to wear 30 minutes before landing. Try not to wear makeup and then just a light application on landing. If you get your brows/lashes done you will need very little.
Lip oils are amazing for hydration and sheen.
