Ready For Take Off? 10 Celebrity-Inspired Outfits to Ensure Your Trip Is a Sartorial Success

Whether you’re plotting an escape to a secluded island or ready to take a long-awaited European holiday, airport outfits are just as important as the looks packed away inside your luggage. Long flights require wardrobe essentials that are comfortable, and it doesn’t hurt if they are a sartorial hit, too. If you’re not sure what to wear during your next getaway, who better to look to for inspiration than the celebrities who are constantly jet-setting.

Andie MacDowell’s timeless aesthetic, for example, serves as the perfect guide for elevated casual dressing. While arriving in Cannes, she demonstrated the power of an easy-to-throw-on dress. A sharp flat and a chic tote always complement the winning look. Of course, you don’t have to wear a dress to look polished at the airport. Model Elsa Hosk gave us a chic lesson in laid back dressing, layering a turtleneck underneath a roomy cardigan and finishing the look with matching knit pants. Airplanes are notoriously quite chilly, so a look with versatile layers always comes in handy.
