It's always fun to plan OOTDs, but that choice is usually weightier as you land in an exciting new port or city. Here, our favourite celebs give us the lowdown on how to dress well on your next flight

Dressing for a flight has always been an exercise in strategy. If you're coming in from the tropics and are flying north to a cooler climate, do you wear a sweater or a simple cotton tee? Are denim pants or breathable slacks better for a long-haul flight? Is it best to wear heavy items to lessen the weight of your carry-on or should you save those for when you actually land at your destination? So many factors go into deciding an airport outfit—but these celebrities seem to have got it down pat! Learn some style tips from your favourite fashion mavens that you can take with you're on your next, post-COVID flight.

1. Keep Warm Like Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell's hazmat airport OOTD has been labelled by Vogue as "one of the most symbolic looks of 2020". Donning white PPE, mask, and goggles under a Burberry poncho, Campbell is seen carrying disinfecting wipes on pink-gloved hands. While this look isn't likely to be anyone's go-to (especially in a post-COVID world), we did notice something consistent with most–if not all—of Campbell's airport OOTDs. The supermodel loves keeping warm! She's consistent—even now—with wearing outerwear such as ponchos, trench coats, and scarves to airports. A great tip for all those who love flying in the comfortable yet chilly cabins of first class.

2. Keep It Simple Like Kendall Jenner

As a supermodel, Kendall Jenner has to travel very frequently. One thing we love about her airport OOTDs? Her preference for timelessly chic monochrome outfits. She's not one to get too loud with her ensemble but does manage to highlight it by adding a contrasting piece. We love this all-white outfit that beautifully complements her floral print booties and camel-skin bag. Not to mention her (what appears to be lambskin) cape thrown carelessly over her shoulder.

3. Have A Signature Accessory Like Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham and her square-framed sunnies have been a frequent yet exciting sight for airport staff all over the world. The model and entrepreneur has been seen wearing these iconic shades in plenty of her OOTDs—matched with a simple outfit highlighted by cute heels. 

4. Incorporate Your Favourite Labels Like Jennie

Blackpink fans might have noticed: Jennie loves Chanel. This isn't the first time we've spotted her in a Chanel top (with a matching bag) at the airport. We don't blame her though, that red sweater looks incredibly comfortable, paired with breathable black pants, and sneakers that are easy to walk in. It's perfect for whatever adventure she's off to next!

Hailey Bieber never fails to impress us when it comes to fashion. But while she may go all out in her choice of wardrobe—be it in checkered pants, oversized puff jackets, or edgy sunglasses—her hair is almost always in a simple bun. It's easy, manageable, and very comfortable for sitting, walking around the airport, or lying down on your aeroplane seat. 

6. Go For Loose Comfortable Clothing Like Kate Beckinsale

Not gonna lie: that outfit looks so comfortable. It's easy for Kate Beckinsale to rock any tight-fitting outfit, but we must say that this inspired ensemble is the perfect way to rock the airport. It looks almost like pyjamas but levelled up with sky-high stilettos for added style points. 

7. Invest In A Big Bag Like Rihanna

Big bags are so, so handy, especially when travelling! You can store everything there, from your personal essentials to your most important documents. And no, they don't have to look or feel bulky either. Take a cue from Rihanna's stylish Christian Dior tote and have all your staples ready with you at a moment's notice.

The legendary Amal Clooney: she's a busy woman as you might have guessed. If you're going on a short-haul flight, or are flying out for business, take a cue from Clooney's professional outfit, spotted on her at JFK. A matching suit is quick and easy to pair, but eye-catching too in a vibrant shade of scarlet—perfect for catching red-eye or a meeting after you land.
