Black & White Chic
Instead of wearing boring black leggings, try a pattern or print. Stripes are simple yet fun and you can pair black and white with just about any color. An oversized tee is a great choice if you will be sitting for a while because it’s not tight and constricting. Throw on some moccasins that are perfect to slip on and off. Psst: By wearing a big scarf, you have a portable pillow or blanket.

Athletic Aesthetic
If you prefer to lounge in workout wear, try putting together a cute and cohesive athletic outfit. Matching accent colors in each piece brings the whole look together and can make you feel a little more polished than just throwing on an old tee and gym shorts.

Cool & Casual
If you’re not sure if it will be chilly on the plane or train, it’s always good to bring some layers. Now that it’s getting warmer out, comfortable shorts and a tee are a good choice but it’s smart to bring a sweatshirt just in case you get cold. Headbands are perfect to bring along to keep the hair out of your face, and they’re especially great if you want to nap but don’t want to lie uncomfortably on your ponytail or bun.

Lax Lace
There’s no need to dress down just because you’re traveling! Try wearing casual and cozy pieces that have fancy accents, such as lace. Match them with an airy cardigan or kimono, a funky headband to tie back your up-do and some easy flats with detailing. Jewelry never hurts, as long as it’s not bothersome during your long journey.
