Various lengths/weights of leggings underneath, plus the bulkiest topper and footwear I'm bringing with me.

Flattering and plenty of room on the waist for me. I plan to pair them with a tank, tissue sweater, and heavy cotton cardigan. I’ll bring a scarf too, just in case. I didn’t find casual shoes I liked, so I may just go with my beloved Eccos.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038505 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 05:49:28 +0000 bj1111 2038505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Compression socks to avoid blood clots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038492 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 03:26:36 +0000 Jaime 2038492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Scarlet - I have a Muji one I bought in an airport a few years ago. Inflatable is not for me, and, although I don't have especially sensitive skin I find that a lot of the material on these cushions irritate me. I picked mine for being pretty squishy and non-irritating. Also check the entertainment options on the flight before you leave. Since we usually don't fly direct, the "shorter" (4-6 hour) leg doesn't always have screens. We make sure everyone's device has something pre-loaded. Also don't forget physical reading material for take off and landing. My tradition is the Economist magazine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038488 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 02:55:58 +0000 elpgal 2038488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa P, you are a hoot! </p> <p>I recently travelled in a long dress with knee length socks for the plane and a nice wool shawl and it was great!

I prefer to wear neutral color dresses, light layering and denim. Footwear I choose comfortable and try to match it with my bag or any other accessory. I wear minimum jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038410 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 19:23:00 +0000 Anonymous 2038410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear dresses too, FI, and walking sandals-as normally I travel in summer.

Here in Berlin, this one will be in two parts—close to body temperature today, with 2 lovely days on the way, and then horribly hot this weekend. But mornings/ late evenings are still comfortable, even on the hot days. (When we arrived, we were told the 90+ temps weren’t cooling off at night. Coming from Tampa, we thought that meant not dropping below 80. Turns out nights around 70 were what they meant. This week it’ll be in the 60s every night, and 50s after some of the hot days.). Other parts of Germany are forecast to have high temps of 41 straight through. So make sure you check forecast for exactly where you are going and the days you’ll be there. </p> <p>On topic, I seem to be the only one here who prefers dresses. Long ones, to be sure, so I can squirm, and jersey or sweater dresses depending on weather, so they don’t wrinkle. Whatever shoes I wear, I need to make sure I have socks because I take shoes off when I have to sit for a while. I agree with the above suggestion to take a big scarf so you don’t have to ask for a blanket. </p> <p>Bon voyage &amp; have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038386 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 15:36:09 +0000 Angie 2038386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Read this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2017/08/21/what-to-wear-on-a-long-flight/">https://youlookfab.com/2017/08.....ng-flight/</a></p> <p>Short flights are different, but I follow an outfit formula for long flights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038380 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 15:14:30 +0000 Scarlet 2038380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you to everyone for all these great tips. I feel like the last flights I have been on ran hot, but these are good reminders to be prepared for either extreme. Layering is clearly the winning strategy. Due to the multiple mentions I am curious to try Eileen Fisher stretch crepe pants. I am also digging the idea of skirted leggings because they have all the comfort without special topper requirements. No judgement to those who wear leggings with short toppers, but I don’t feel comfortable like that. Lots of love for joggers too. I’ll keep my eyes open for a nice pair.</p> <p>Another thing for me to consider, I hear Europe is suffering a terrible heatwave. I hope it is not going to be like that for long! I was planning on the more typical cooler summer.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, oh my goodness yes, the bathroom floor can get gross. I hate to think about it.</p> <p><b>Taylor</b>, I love the idea of slip on sneakers.</p> <p><b>Eliza</b>, I love that tiny MZ Wallace bag!</p> <p><b>Lucy</b>, 32 hours *shudder* You are a good traveler!</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, that sounds horrendous! I like your tip about resting your feet on your bag.</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, neck pillow is a good call.

I've worn stretchy jeans and tops too but waistbands start bothering me after a while! Always with shoes that are easy to take on and off and two pairs of socks. Definitely not the msot well dressed traveller, comfort absolutely comes first. I also carry a light shawl or hoodie because I always feel cold </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038293 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 01:58:57 +0000 nuancedream 2038293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My airplane travel uniform is leggings and a tunic top or ponte knit pants with a long sleeve t-shirt. I always carry a lightweight shawl/wrap because I know aircraft cabins are notoriously cold and airline balnkets are less than hygenic...Eew!&nbsp; Also, regardless of where I am traveling, I wear closed toe shoes, not athletic shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038281 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 01:10:46 +0000 SarahD8 2038281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love skirt leggings for plane travel.

It gets so much easier as they get older! A bag of surprises (activity workbooks and stickers worked for my kids) and favorite snacks were survival equipment.<br />Anyway, my essentials are shoes that slip on and off easily and socks, layers even in the summer, and a neck pillow. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038275 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 00:53:46 +0000 Anonymous 2038275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually have plenty of black when traveling. I also like black Ponte pants and otherwise layer so I can be as comfortable as possible even if it is hot and the air conditioner does not work on a long flight ( this has happened. We had to sit in a hot plane in Rome for 12 hours before they let us back into the terminal for something to eat and finally put us on another plane. We issued all connecting flights and had to spend an overnight on the floor of the terminal in Dallas. Be prepared for anything.<br /> On top I wear a black tank under a blouse under a sweater under my coat.<br /> I put my carryon on the floor so my feet can rest on it. (more comfortable than dangling legs), I wear smart wool socks or footies and my heaviest pair of shoes...usually booties with zips for easy off and on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038274 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 00:44:36 +0000 Lucy 2038274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Australians are good at the long haul flights! Last year I did the UK and NYC for work, and both were around 32 hours door to door...&nbsp;</p> <p>I am a fan of stretchy jeans with a forgiving waist band, because they seem to stay "cleaner" than ponte or leggings, especially important for anything 12 plus hours.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear a singlet top, bralette (no underwire), and a fairly polished looking long sleeve t-shirt. I wear my coat on top - depending on the weather at the destination, wool coat, puffer or blazer. That way, I look presentable at either end.&nbsp;</p> <p>For the really long flights, I pack a hoodie in my bag, to sleep in. I get quite cold, so I often need the hood bit! And also extra socks and a pashmina for warmth. And in reverse, if the flight is warm, I can strip off to singlet or t-shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038273 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 00:38:53 +0000 Runs With Scissors 2038273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I traveled to India last year I wore Athleta Gramercy track pants.&nbsp; Despite being "athleisure", I don't feel that they look all that sporty, at least on me.&nbsp; And they are lightweight and completely non-binding in any way.&nbsp; On top I wore a rayon striped t-shirt, and a hoodie -- nothing special.&nbsp; And a sports bra, I think.&nbsp; Shoes were some well broken-in Dansko oxfords. </p> <p>I was really worried that I would be uncomfortable, especially on such long flights, but it wasn't so bad.&nbsp; I did take a couple of long stretch breaks in the open area near the emergency exits, and that helped a lot.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-traveling-outfit#post-2038270 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 23:48:45 +0000 Eliza 2038270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy travels to you. I always like a comfortable pair of pants, pockets and long length, even in summer because planes are often chilly, easy walking shoes and a scarf for warmth and wrapping higher than my neck if I hear a lot of sickness nearby, a warm soft topper, and easy access to my necessities (medications, dry eye drops and tiny noise cancelling earbuds/earphones). I have a tiny bag for stuff I want on my person throughout the flight (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mzwallace.com/shop/products/11910089/black-bedford-micro-tribeca/19491.html">https://www.mzwallace.com/shop.....19491.html</a>) and have used infinity scarves with a zip pocket built-in (not exact, there lots of choices: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Zipper-Hidden-Pocket-Infinity-Scarf/dp/B07JGL7M5X/ref=sr_1_23?crid=YFBGZR17DAF3&amp;keywords=infinity+scarf+with+zipper+pocket&amp;qid=1561506144&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=infinity+scarf+with%2Caps%2C127&amp;sr=8-23">http://www.amazon.com/Zipper-H.....AF3&#038;k</a>. ) I also bring a well-organized bag for under the seat in front of me, with additional things and often put that bag in a protective bag as planes can be dirty.&nbsp; </p>
