After more than a decade as a travel writer, I’ve got the perfect travel outfit down to a science. It’s taken countless hours in airports and on long-haul flights, but I now know exactly which clothing items can go the distance. No matter where I’m headed, I reach for the same tried-and-true combination—what I call my travel uniform—every time. It’s been tested over thousands of miles on flights near and far, and it never lets me down.
Here’s how my winning formula goes: a white tee, polished black pants, comfortable white sneakers, and a bomber jacket. My simple airport uniform is practical, stylish, and most importantly, it’s comfortable, whether my flight is delayed or I’m hurrying to make a tight connection. This travel outfit is versatile enough to wear straight from the airport to my first stop of the day without screaming, “I just rolled out of bed.” If you want to dress for long travel days like the pros, read on for the foolproof airport outfit that keeps me comfortable from takeoff to touchdown and beyond.

The comfortable sneaker
Supportive, comfortable shoes are the foundation of my travel uniform. I rotate between a few different styles, but no matter the pair, they’re always sneakers I can rush around the airport in and wear socks with in case I need to take my shoes off in the security line. A podiatrist recently recommended I try a pair of shoes from New Balance because of how supportive they are for long walking days. I’m currently favoring my New Balance 327 sneakers because I can comfortably wear them all day long, thanks to their super cushioned sole. Plus, I love that the classic, slightly retro look goes with everything, from athleisure to sundresses without looking too touristy.
I also love my stylish Adidas Sambas if I need a versatile white sneaker, my Hokas if I need a cushioned walking shoe, and my lace-free Kiziks if I need something easy to slip on and off.
