When it comes to deciding what to wear on a plane, it’s not just about looking stylish; it’s also about finding a balance between comfort and practicality. For the Conde Nast Traveler editors, who spend a significant amount of time on airplanes, their travel uniforms have become an essential part of their pre-flight routine.

Arati Menon, the global digital director, swears by oversized and chic attire. She recommends wearing big denim, oversized tailoring, and borrowed-from-husband shirts for added comfort. ‘Comfort doesn’t have to be at odds with style,’ she says, ‘I like to play with form and volume, like these balloon pants paired with an oversized cotton or poplin shirt.’

For a more relaxed look, Jessica Chapel, the commerce writer, recommends wearing cabin-cozy indie attire. She swears by wide-legged jeans from Silver Jeans Co. and pairs them with Puma sneaker-flats for added comfort. For a more polished look, she suggests layering a band tee over her wide-legged jeans and topping it off with a gold layered necklace.

Meaghan Kenny, the commerce editor, takes a different approach to her travel uniform. She prefers to wear peak coziness attire, which includes an oversized matching set from Alo. She recommends layering a soft, fitted tank top under her hoodie or zip-up for added warmth. For added comfort, she suggests wearing Hokas sneakers and carrying an MZ Wallace Metro Tote bag.

For those who prefer a more structured look, Skyli Alvarez, the editorial assistant, recommends wearing not-as-impractical-as-it-looks attire. She suggests pairing a lightweight long-sleeve top with a cami and supportive socks from Doublesoul. For added warmth, she recommends layering a no-show, thin-layered sock under her supportive socks.

Shannon McMahon, the senior destinations editor, takes a more relaxed approach to her travel uniform. She swears by basically pajamas-plus attire, which includes a Skims sweatsuit. She recommends layering a simple T-shirt under her Skims sweatsuit and topping it off with an oversized work jacket. For added comfort, she suggests wearing her heaviest items when traveling with a carry-on.

Hannah Chubb, the senior commerce editor, prefers to wear as-close-to-pajamas-as-she-can-get attire. She recommends wearing comfy black Auden pajama pants and pairing them with a Lululemon tank top with a built-in bra. For added warmth, she suggests layering a massive crewneck sweater over her tank top.
