Flying is obviously no longer the glamorous mode of transportation it once was, but that's no excuse not to get a TSA-friendly fit off through the terminal. A cozy sweatsuit will always be a go-to; however, other options are equally comfortable and can be worn to a meeting straight off the plane. Traveling can be a pain—especially this time of year—everyone is going on vacation to escape reality, but we're here to help you with a fail-safe outfit as you fly to your next destination.

When getting ready for take-off, we suggest wearing layers because cabin temperatures are notoriously unpredictable. A lightweight work shirt or shirt-jacket is great because it's stylish, practical and makes for a comfortable blanket on the plane. A pair of suede Birkenstocks mean you can easily slip in and out of them—be it at security or in your seat. A rugged tote bag is the unsung travel hero because you can stash all your small essentials in there and it sits perfectly on top of your bag while rolling through the airport to find your gate number. A travel-size sanitizer keeps the germs at bay, and a nice moisturizing spritz is good to have on hand since the airplane air always dries out your skin. Here's to not sacrificing style on your next plane ride, and maybe you'll score that elusive upgrade.
