Every time I’m getting ready to leave for a trip, there’s one thing that always crosses my mind when it’s just a little too late: What am I going to wear on the plane?! I know it might seem like it doesn’t matter, but I always like to put together travel outfits that are at least a little bit stylish and put-together.
After all, you really never know what can happen during a day of travel. You could have a chance encounter with a celebrity, you could make a new friend, you could run into someone you know, or you could even be forced to repurpose your travel outfit in the case of missing luggage.
