Heading off on a much-needed vacay? Once you've planned your holiday outfits, the next thing you'll want to think about is your jet-setting style.
Picking an airport-appropriate outfit is all about comfort – we all want to sit back and relax with a coffee (or champagne!) while waiting to fly. Plus, once you've got on the plane, getting cosy is a must, especially if you're on it for the long haul.
From activewear to a jumpsuit or a breezy summer dress, we've scoured the high street for the best in-flight fashion inspired by the most stylish celebrities. From Bella Hadid's go-to tracksuits to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's jeans and blazer ensemble and Victoria Beckham's graphic tee and wide-leg trousers - who says we can't treat the airport runway like…well, just that?
How we chose the best airport outfits
- Celebrity-inspired: No one travels in style quite like a celeb. Often photographed at the airport, they're always on their fashion A-game, so we've taken inspiration from their most-loved in-flight outfits.
- Comfort: When it comes to flying, feeling comfortable is without a doubt the number one consideration. We've only chosen pieces we'd be happy to sit around in for at least several hours.
- Price: Celebrities love their designer garms but we've kept things on the more affordable side - every item included is under £100.
The best airport outfit ideas to shop this summer

Let's be real – there's no outfit more comfortable than a tracksuit. Bella has one of our favourite airport styles - she's been spotted in leather blazers with wide-leg trousers and jeans with sweaters, but by far most frequently, a cool tracksuit with a pair of trainers. Just add gold jewellery and you're ready to go.
Adanola Tracksuit
Adanola is loved by celebrities from Kourtney Kardashian to Michelle Keegan, but it comes at a much lower price point than Bella's designer tracksuits. This bestselling two piece is both super comfy and stylish.
Nike Dunk Low Trainers
Bella loves her Nike Dunks, as does Hailey Bieber and Khloe Kardashian. Not all casual kicks are created equally and these will take you everywhere in ultimate comfort.

If you want something slightly more chic than a tracksuit, take inspiration from Elsa Hosk who levelled up the classic loungewear look with a cashmere cardigan and matching trousers by LESET. She completed the outfit with a pair of loafers.
Mango Knitted Top & Trousers
Mango's co-ord is made from soft knitted fabric and can be layered with a white rollneck to keep you warm. Pair it with slides, trainers or loafers and complete the look with a pair of sunnies and headband.
Arket Cashmere Set
Arket's luxurious cashmere set is so comfortable for your next long haul flight. It includes a fine-knit wrap cardigan with straps to be tied at the waist and trending wide-leg trousers.
ASOS DESIGN Jersey Headband
If you don't want to wear your hair up but prefer it out of your face for a long haul flight, a headband like Elsa's is the perfect compromise.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley always looks put together at the airport and is often pictured wearing a pair of straight-leg jeans with a shirt, blazer or lightweight knit. Plus, she's rarely seen without a huge pair of sunglasses.
& Other Stories Slim-Cut Jeans
There's no rule that says you can't wear jeans - especially for short haul. Made from stretchy denim with a flattering high-rise fit, we'd recommend & Other Stories' Slim-Cut pair - AKA Princess Kate's go-to jeans.
Arket Oversized Blazer
If you're heading somewhere with a slight chill, make sure to add an effortless blazer into the mix like Rosie. This one from Arket is fully lined with a comfy oversized, single-breasted design. Made from a wool blend twill, it's a forever piece.

VB's most frequently worn airport outfit is a pair of trending wide-leg trousers, a graphic white tee and always oversized black sunnies.
Marks & Spencer Wide-Leg Trousers
Marks & Spencer's wide-leg trousers are smart and comfortable in equal measure. They have a comfy elasticated waist and a classic tailored fit.
GANNI T-Shirt
A colourful GANNI graphic tee is a piece you'll wear on repeat. Pair it with wide-leg trousers and trainers or boots for the airport.

Andie MacDowell proves you can definitely wear a dress to the airport. They're perfect if you're stepping off the plane into a much hotter climate.
Nobody's Child Starlight Midaxi Dress
Stylish and so comfortable, Nobody's Child's Starlight midaxi dress features long sleeves and a relaxed cut - it even has pockets!
Boden Laura Shirt Dress
Boden's Laura shirt dress is made from a soft jersey fabric. It features a flowy, midi cut and a detachable self fabric belt. Wear it with fancy flats à la Andie for when you need to look put together on landing.
