Traveling is great. Who wouldn’t want to jet around the world and experience all it has to offer? Even when you’re traveling for work, there is still a sense of adventure, a feeling that you are going places (and quite literally). While everyone would agree that traveling is among life’s many pleasures, riding on an airplane can be stressful.
All we can do about it is find new ways to make the airplane experience more comfortable. We’ve all seen eye masks, neck pillows, and noise-canceling headphones. These are great, sure, and we love having them. However, it’s time to take a good long look at what may be the easiest way to make plane trips more comfortable, and it starts with your wardrobe.
A comfortable pair of men’s casual shoes can make a huge difference on a long flight in terms of keeping you comfortable. The right sweater or pair of jeans can mean all the difference in your comfort. And comfortable clothes mean a comfortable trip. So, let’s look at nine different outfit options for men, all of which will help you be comfortable on your next flight.
1. A Comfortable Pair of Jeans
The first and most obvious choice for travel is a comfortable and durable pair of jeans. Of all the pieces you’ll be sporting in your ensemble, what you’re wearing below the waist can make or break your trip. Find a solid pair of men’s jeans and invest in your comfort.
When it comes to jeans, stay away from the discount outlet. Often, we may default to cutting corners to save a few pennies. You’ll regret getting the cheap, ill-fitting jeans, especially when you’re somewhere over Kansas and still have three hours left to go.
2. A Lightweight Sweater
A lightweight dress sweater is a great option for those who tend to get chilly on flights and still want to look sharp. Depending on the blends available, you can find men’s dress sweaters that are not only comfortable but will also help regulate your body temperature. Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or wool, and make sure to avoid anything that is 100% synthetic. You’ll be thankful you did when you’re struggling to stay cool and comfortable.
3. A Casual Button-Down Shirt
A button-down shirt is always a great option for a casual or more formal look. And, when it comes to comfort, a casual button-down shirt is hard to beat (and looks great tucked in or untucked with jeans). Look for a shirt made from natural fibers like cotton or linen, and bonus points if your button-down has a little stretch to it.
4. A Fleece Jacket
Comfort is king on an airplane. A fleece jacket is a great option for those who tend to get cold easily or who are flying in chilly weather. Fleece is lightweight yet warm and can be easily layered under a coat or jacket if necessary. And if you’re looking for an extra layer of warmth, consider a fleece-lined jacket.
5. Comfortable Yet Casual Shoes
Your shoes can make or break your comfort and ruin a well-intended travel outfit during your air travel. Choose a comfortable pair of shoes that you can slip on and off easily, as you’ll likely be taking them off during security screenings.
Since you’ll be spending a lot of time sitting, choosing shoes that won’t rub or pinch your feet is essential. Loafers are always a great option, as they’re comfortable and can be easily slipped on and off. But if you’re looking for something a little more stylish, consider a pair of Chelsea boots or sneakers.
6. A Pashmina Scarf
Sometimes it’s okay to take a big swing when it comes to airplane travel. A pashmina scarf is a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your travel outfit and can also be used as an extra layer of warmth if needed. A pashmina scarf is lightweight and can be easily rolled up and packed in your carry-on bag, making it a great option for those who want to be prepared for anything.
7. An All-Purpose Golf Shirt
A collared shirt is a great option for those who want to look put-together without being too formal. And, when it comes to comfort, something like an all-purpose golf shirt should be at the top of your list. Always look for a high-quality shirt made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. These fabrics will breathe better and will be more comfortable in the long run.
8. The Classic Tee
Whether you’re traveling for leisure or work, it’s highly likely that you won’t be attending any Zoom meetings at 10,000 feet. So, treat yourself to a well-made classic T-shirt. T-shirts are comfortable, easy to pack, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. And, if you’re looking for a little more coverage, consider a long sleeve tee.
9. What Lies Beneath?
It’s a good idea to consider your undergarments. Whether you’re a boxer guy or a brief guy, when it comes to your underclothes, make sure you find something that fits you well. If your underwear is too big, it can bunch up. If it’s too tight, well, you’ll know it for sure.
Final Thoughts
In order to get you to your destination comfortably, consider some of the options listed above. Now all you have to do is pack your bags and get going. Happy travels!
