Fashion tips for your next long-haul flight

It's that time of year when we want to go on holiday to get away from the grey autumn weather, and we need to follow the sun to enjoy it. The longer the flight, the more important it is to feel comfortable during the journey. Clothing plays an essential role. On this page, you'll find the basics for quick styling, as well as practical accessories that you won't be able to do without on your next trip.
The Celebrity Way
The leggings are not only ideal for sports, but also for travelling. They're stretchy and offer great freedom especially around the knees on long flights and when sitting down. In black, they're discreet and, thanks to the athleisure, even stylish.
Models like Gigi Hadid have long considered athleisure bras to be normal tops. We wear them underneath our clothes most of the time, but we know the advantages: no underwires to get in the way or even hurt us on the flight and, at our destination, a trendy top that's ideal when the temperatures are very high.
Long-sleeved dresses can be worn perfectly with leggings, because they cover the buttocks and emphasise the chic sporty look. The best part: when you arrive at your destination and the weather is nice and warm, you can take off the leggings and show off your legs.
The trench adds a certain something extra to your outfits, a bit like icing on the cake. Elegant look guaranteed.
The thin down jacket keeps you nice and warm on the journey to the airport and, once you arrive, you can easily stow it in your hand luggage or wear it over your shoulders, like Balenciaga.
The "Hipster" way:
Currently, in Switzerland, we can borderline wear Slip Dresses with thick tights and a chunky woollen cardigan. If you wear one to travel, you can quickly switch into summer mode once you arrive at your destination airport.
It's true, wearing mules with socks and tights isn't for everyone; you have to be courageous. But when travelling, it's mostly reserved for the clever - because once the tights are off, the pedicure is perfectly showcased.
The jogging suits are synonymous with comfort. They're so baggy you could even wear a Slip Dress underneath. With a loose-fitting sweatshirt, they make an unbeatable pair that gives you optimum comfort for travelling.
Accessories
Sneakers like Vans are ideal for travelling, as they have a flat sole and are wide enough to wear with thick socks.
You can use shawls as a shawl or blanket if you get chilly on the plane. Once you're in the sun, you can simply attach the scarf to your bag.
The scarves can also be used as a blanket.
The handbags should be just big enough to accommodate your most important travel utensils and still have some room for an extra bag. You never know, maybe you'll find something at the Duty Free - and it'll be easier that way for transport back to the hotel.
Glass drinks are a must if you're travelling. Those from "bkr" feature a silicone protector and a handle so you can carry them like a handbag.
The folding bags are easy to stow in your handbag and are great if you want to treat yourself to a little something at the airport Duty Free.
The cases with four wheels haven't just been invented. But we're always surprised again to see so many people who don't have one.
