I've Been on Hundreds of Flights, and I Finally Perfected the Plane Outfit
As frequently as I travel, it took me an embarrassingly long time to perfect my plane outfit. I constantly found myself too hot or too cold or simply too constricted and bloated following a carb-heavy plane meal. But then, one day, I did it: all the pieces aligned, and I found myself like Goldilocks—just right.

With miles and hours of research, here's the perfect plane outfit:

I've always been a fan of an oversized white-button down. They always look chic and put together for a woman, especially when paired with some understated jewelry, and they're incredibly comfortable. Athleta's Midtown Shirt is among the best I've found—it's made from a cool, crisp poplin that resists wrinkles and is generously cut. You'll find me wearing this shirt not just on the flight but on day two or three of my trip as well.

Since I first discovered Lululemon's On the Fly Pants a few years ago, I've sung their praises to any of my traveling friends who will listen. They're the perfect hybrid of appearance and comfort, and the 7/8 cut that hits just above the ankle is flattering on all body types. The fabric—Lulu's Luxtreme—is cool and smooth and sweat-wicking to boot.

Finally, for shoes: I typically always reach for my Allbirds Wool Runners. Wool is never too hot or too cold (are you sensing a theme here?) and is naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant, so these shoes never get stinky no matter how many times I have to sprint to catch my next flight. (Some of my friends in warmer climes are partial to Allbird's Tree Runners instead, but both sneakers are the perfect hybrid of comfort and durability.)

Now, you might want to add or subtract things depending on your comfort level. If I'm chilled or traveling to a cooler climate, I'll top off the look with Uniqlo's cult-favorite Ultra Light Down Jacket, but after hundreds of flights, I can confidently say that these three pieces make for the ultimate in plane chic and comfort.
