Growing up, I’ve always lived by this rule that airports were the only acceptable setting for someone to be wearing sweats in public. Sometimes, even that seemed like a stretch. No one wants to be uncomfortable while traveling. You have to take off your shoes. You’re confined to a seat. You’re sitting next to people that you don’t want to be sitting by. The blankets are measly and sometimes they’ve already got some vomit on them. Nice, right?! I’ve had my fair share of bad luck with traveling.
So I can’t blame you if you want to be wearing sweats at the airport, but you should know that there are more appropriate ways of being comfortable while flying. Celebrities do it all the time in your standard tee and jeans outfit so we should all be able to as well.
Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, brought on with her a second outfit to change into as she flew from New York to Los Angeles. When she got on the plane, she was wearing a Louis Vuitton dress, but soon after she had sat down, the editor excused herself to the bathroom and came out wearing jeans and a “cute top.” Sure enough, before the plane landed in Los Angeles, Wintour was back in her Louis Vuitton dress again. This woman is incredible.
