You know how it is. You’ve made it to the airport, the stress off purchasing and packing your holiday wardrobe is done, and now you’re ready to get through the standard airport obstacles and board that flight to your beautiful, sun drenched destination. But wait, someone’s holding up the airport security line. Didn’t they check what is best to wear in order to avoid that awkward security frisk?
Make sure you’re not that person and get your airport style with us, guaranteed to give you that sartorial edge over your fellow passengers, but more importantly to ensure you don’t get any filthy looks when untying those glam yet not so ideal lace up wedged espadrilles.
A LIGHTWEIGHT JACKET
A big, bulky jacket is a bit of a no-go. For one, multiple pockets offer a natural temptation to fill them with bits you don’t really need. Secondly, a bulky jacket isn’t exactly ideal for a streamline airport sweep. You’ll also find that you might be setting off the dreaded security beeps, as bulky jackets and oversized clothing often requires extra screening by TSA.
Instead, go for a more lightweight style. It’s smart to keep a jacket on hand (we know how chilly those flights can get) but it also completes any outfit. We love these simple yet sophisticated styles by Armani Jeans, Michael Kors and Boss Orange.

SLIP ON SHOES
Nobody can blame you for caving to the temptation of setting off your holidays to a ultra-glamorous start with a nice pair of wedged, laced espadrilles. The type which makes you look like an A-list celeb when you strut out the airport, suitcase in tow. Unfortunately, it isn’t such a cute look when you’re holding up the queue to take them off through security.
Opt for a chic pair of shoes which are easy to slip on and off. Whether you prefer Vivienne Westwood pumps, flat espadrilles by Michael Kors or Armani Jeans trainers, it’s entirely up to you! Just make sure if you go for lace sneakers that they aren’t in an impossible triple knot.

HAND LUGGAGE
The key here is opting for the correct size. Sure, you want to look stylish. But a little cross body bag isn’t likely to be big enough to squeeze in those airport and on-flight essentials. Alternatively, a huge bag which gives your suitcase a run for its money is also inconvenient. Especially when it comes to plucking out electricals and liquids, nobody wants you digging around for 5 minutes.
