Monochrome
If you want to go the classic route, opt for black & white. Add a bit of edge with a biker leather jacket instead of an ordinary coat or knit. This keeps you looking trendy without trying too hard.

Denim & Florals
A print is great option for the airport because creases are almost invisible. A pretty maxi dress that’s loose gives you comfort while leaving you looking elegant and feminine. In case your dress is a bit too glam, tone it down with a cool denim jacket. This piece is perfect for hot or cold weather – a travel must for a chic airport look.
