Sitting on a plane for hours at a time might seem like the antithesis of denim dressing, but your denim options aren’t limited to your oh-so-cute but oh-so-tight, no-stretch selvedge skinny jeans. Switch up your routine and try a denim dress the next time you’re up in the air. Seriously underrated as optimal travel wear, you’ll be sitting cute and comfortable as long as you find a frock that’s loose enough to allow for movement–nothing stiff, starchy, or overly-structured. Shirt dresses and stretchy, sleeveless dresses fit the bill perfectly and encourage layering (a traveler’s BFF!), while allowing you to swiftly navigate the airport sans-snags. Any kind of snuggly, oversize cardigan is a safe and cozy complement, especially when paired with a thick scarf, which can double as a neck pillow when you’re sleeping on-board. Add a chic pair of flat, low-cut boots that you can easily slip on and off your feet and some thick tights or leggings and you’ll be ready for take-off in style!
