Keeping it Real: the airplane travel outfit

Just a quick post, Stylers. I’ve got some exciting things to do … like sit on an airport transfer bus and travel to Brisbane . To then get on a plane.

To New York.

Well New York, via LA.

I’ve treated myself to Premium Economy. Because I’m worth it.

Well, that’s the story I’ve spun for my husband, who is flying out with my youngest son to join me for a holiday at the end of the conference … and with whom I will very much enjoy travelling back to Australia. At the back of the plane where I belong

But I will care not because I will have ticked off some serious bucket list stuff.

So, let’s get down to it and talk travel outfits. Here’s what I’m wearing.

Seed jacket | Gasparre | Sussan top | NYDJ | Zoe Kratzmann shoes

I’ve talked before that I’m a “dress up for a flight” kind of girl so I’ve put together an outfit that suits my need for equal parts comfort and some semblance of style.

It’s a variation on my NYDJ jeans and jacket “uniform” and it’s one that works for me.

This style of jean is a super stretchy legging and seriously comfortable. The jacket was the Seed one I featured here. I first fell in love with the colour first but then it was the soft jersey material that won me over because it offered the structure I look for in a jacket, with plenty of give for flying.

… oh, and never fear … I plan to get even more comfortable on board.

In my carry-on luggage I have abi and joseph pants, a long Feather’s tunic, a cashmere cardi and some of those very attractive inflight socks.

See you on the other side … bear with me as I work through the time differences to get my regular posting schedule on track. In the meantime, tomorrow I’ve got this month’s multi-draw giveaway starting. You won’t want to miss it!

What do you wear on long haul flights?
