There’s something undeniably powerful about stepping into the airport with confidence—and it starts with the right look. Your airport outfit should be all about comfort, luxury and style. Whether you're heading to the Amalfi Coast or touching down in Tokyo, style and functionality can—and should—go hand in hand. We’ve teamed up with influencer and travel style icon Holly Boorman to bring you runway-ready outfit tips, plus our picks for luggage and bags to complete your airport look.
How to Travel in Style: Airport Looks We Love
1. Airport Outfit Ideas That Blend Style and Comfort
Your travel day outfit should feel easy on your mind and body: comfortable, intentional, and totally you.
Holly believes in a sophisticated, practical approach:
“Tactile fabrics and intentional layering… A soft, oversized teddy jumper, wide-leg trousers, a cashmere knit, and sculptural sunglasses. Add a luxe leather tote, lightweight Strand suitcases + carry-on, with curated in-flight essentials and I’m living in comfort.”
It’s about keeping fashion tied with function—layering knits for in-flight warmth and choosing bags that don’t feel like a burden.

Pro Tip: Build your outfit around your airport bag—choose a structured tote or sleek backpack that complements your colour palette and pulls your whole look together effortlessly.
2. Packing Tips for Smart Travel
Your luggage is only as good as your packing strategy. For Holly, it's all about smart edits:
“Edit ruthlessly and build from a neutral base. I always create a modular capsule, versatile pieces that layer effortlessly and transcend day to night. Accessories do the heavy lifting, statement earrings, a silk scarf, or a bold belt that can transform a look without taking up valuable space. Quality always trumps quantity when I’m living out of a suitcase.”
Go for capsule wardrobe energy: start with foundational pieces in neutral tones and let your accessories do the style storytelling. Add a silk scarf, statement earrings, or a bold belt to switch up the vibe from day to night—without stuffing your suitcase.

Pro Tip: Organise your stuff by activity to avoid rummaging through your entire suitcase and save time when the day arrives.
3. The Best Luggage That Adds Elegance to Your Travel Ensemble
Great luggage doesn’t just hold your clothes—it says something about your style. And according to Holly, the best suitcases are engineered with both aesthetics and practicality in mind:
“Aesthetics and engineering must meet. I look for minimal, modern design with durable craftsmanship, ideally, something with a hard shell, silent wheels, and thoughtful compartments. It should feel like an extension of your style & super light! (Because, overweight fees are extortion)”
Your suitcase should be a natural expression of your aesthetic, helping you glide effortlessly through terminals.
