To keep your feet from hurting, wear comfortable shoes. With the array of stylish flat shoes available, you won’t ever have to worry about sacrificing comfort for style. You can choose from cool loafers, pretty ballerina flats to your favorite pair of sneakers.

Backpacks

Backpacks are one of the best and easiest bags to lug around during your travels. Keeping track of your things can be a pain if you’re in a hurry and excited for your trip. Thankfully, backpacks are roomy enough to fit all your travel essentials. From your passport and boarding passes to your tech gadgets and even in-flight boredom busters such as books and your favorite magazine subscriptions.

Layers

Wherever you’re headed, be it a sunny island or much cooler destinations, it won’t hurt to keep your layering pieces in check. A knit sweater to keep you warm when the airplanes air conditioning is on full blast, or a cool bomber jacket for weather that’s a bit too chilly for your liking. Take your pick from scarves, shawls and outerwear such as sweaters and coats. Layers help you stay warm whilst simultaneously adding that extra dose of style into your otherwise basic ensembles.

Style Tip: Pair your basic white tee with mom jeans and a neutral toned coat. You could also try pairing a collared top, denim overalls with black tights and top of with your favorite comfy trainers.

Beauty gurus recommend to keep makeup to a minimum when travelling. Airplane cabin air can be extremely drying on your skin. To avoid flaky skin, zits and dried up makeup, use tinted moisturizers instead of heavy foundation.
