I prefer light, full length and soft layers of clothing, comfortable shoes, good moisturizer and lightly scented deodorant. No make up, no constricting or rough clothing, no heels, no jewelry.

| Of course, one hour local flight requires different dressing then 10 hour long international flight. |

| Whatever. Jeans and a t-shirt, or leggings and a t-shirt. I'm very casual. People are very confused when this fat sloppy lady with terrible hair and skin sits in first class. |

I would not wear jeans (too constricting) or sweats (I don't wear these in public.) Obviously flat shoes.
Flying somewhere cold I would wear loose wool pants and a sweater with a shirt underneath. Flying somewhere hot a sundress with cardigan. This assumes a flight of >4 hours. For a short flight I'd just wear whatever I felt like. |

If it's a long flight, I would not want wide-leg pants because it's hard to keep them from touching the toilet when you go to the tiny bathroom. Other than that, I agree with all of this. A scarf is nice to cover your eyes, if needed, to sleep or nap and can also keep you warm. |

I tend to wear leggings or sweats. Have figured out this works well for me because: (i) comfy; (ii) packs super small, so once i arrive somewhere i am not wasting suitcase space just for my travel outfit; (iii) i have interstitial cystitis, which is pretty commonly triggered by pants squeezing the crotch, and travel days can be the worst offenders due to the time sitting plus dehydration; and (iv) i am skinny and cute, so even when i'm in leggings or sweats I look decently attractive.
I travel every couple weeks and honestly never see anyone look "good". Even all the women on this forum who think they are pulled together with a scarf lol and above the people in sweats. |

I like a black or dark colored base layer in jersey or other no-wrinkle fabric that can look clean and tidy even after a longer flight. Pants, midi dress or skirt, that kind of thing. I have a black midi a-line dress with a scoop neck and elbow length sleeves that is really perfect for this. It's comfortable and will look fresh no matter what. I can go out for a meal after the plane a not look like a rumpled mess.
But I like layering more structured things on top. Like I prefer a structured tweed jacket or a denim jacket to a draped cardigan. Something with structured shoulders will just look more crisp even if you aren't feeling crisp at all. I have a tweed jacket with a pin tucked shoulder and a collar that can be flipped up or lay flat that is perfect for this in colder weather. I bought it for business travel and it's perfect for that, but I'll wear it for personal travel too because it just looks so pulled together. Overnight flight, I wear sweats, sneakers, t shirt, and a sweater or sweatshirt. Absolutely nothing constricting. I even make sure to pick out my most comfortable underwear for a red eye. I hate sleeping on planes and don't do it well, so at a minimum I want to be physically comfortable. |

+1 I see so many women with wide leg loose pants, and I think, "ew. how do you keep them from touching the bathroom floor which is sticky with god knows what most of the time". I wear yoga pants, but not too tight, a loose shirt, zipped hoodie, and trainers. |
