9 Fashionable Plane Outfits for the Winter
Table Of Contents
Sweater | Coat | Hat | Luggage | Lipstick | Sunglass | Shoes | Pants
It’s edgy, trendy, classic, and absolutely editorial worthy – this winter travel outfit says fashionista from head to toe. This is an incredibly versatile choice for women who know how to rock a comfortable but chic style.
The trainers ooze travel shoe comfort, while the structured coat offers a sophisticated touch to balance the more casual jeans and easy to wear turtle neck. This is definitely one of our top picks!
You can still pack your capsule wardrobe in a small suitcase even when you travel in the winter by using packing cubes to compress your clothing as shown in this video!
Raincoat | Tunic | Scarf | Tote | Boot | Cover | Jeans | Palette
A perfectly prim look for destinations that won’t greet you with torrential rain or snow, this winter travel outfit offers timeless style that you can wear for years to come without worrying that any piece will go out of style.
To wear an outfit like this it’s all in the fit. Make sure your jacket isn’t too bulky for your frame and the length of your jeans is hemmed to your height. Having a great tailor guarantee you’ll always look on point whether you’re rocking an investment coat or even a pair of sweats. The way a garment falls on your body is everything.
Jacket | Sweater | Jeans | Tag | Earrings | Boot | Purse | Luggage | Cream
If all you ever wanted in a travel outfit was a basic look that offered more function than fashion, keep your accessories top of mind. A pair of understated feminine earrings plus a statement purse can make even a standard puffer vest and cable knit sweater look Insta-ready.
Wondering how the most simple outfits look great on fashion bloggers? The hair and makeup add a nice touch as we’ve learned from this Europe travel outfits post!
Packing Cubes | Tee | Jacket 1 | Jacket 2 | Luggage | Lipbalm | Leggings | Backpack | Scarf | Boots
How did a pair of leggings and an oversized tee ever look so good? Again, it’s all in the accessories!
Even the very functional, weather-appropriate rain boots enhance the look with a neutral color that isn’t the ever-popular black. Add a structured handbag and a beautiful winter coat and your weather-appropriate from the moment you get on the plane. Read this post for even more waterproof boots!
Raincoat | Sweater | Hat | Sunglass | Luggage | Pants | Scarf | Shoes | Bag
This look is not for the fashion novice. Pulling off an oversized trench, sweats, and casual sneakers can be translated in many ways when it comes to airplane fashion.
However, this seems to be the winter travel outfit of choice for many fashionistas as I saw at the airport two weeks ago. If you can pull it off, you get bonus points. Are you up for the challenge?
Jacket | Purse | Leggings | Earrings | Sweater | Cover | Boot | Mask | Luggage | Gloves
Oh, how I love this look. It has all the hues in my favorite capsule wardrobe color story: black, grey, white, and blue. Plus, I totally need to add this passport cover to my wish list!
If you’re stuck in an all-black outfit rut or want to break free from a monotone wardrobe, this is a safe selection without steering too far away from your comfort zone. Purple lipstick is optional.
This winter travel outfit may seem a bit much but in reality, it’s only a sweater dress with leggings – anyone can wear that! Plus, it’s comfortable and functional, too. Want a safer bet? This is my go-to merino wool travel dress.
Sweater | Jacket | Jeans | Luggage | Clip | Crossbody | Hat | Lipstick | Boot
Loving these statement winter coats for winter. From red to pink and bright vivid blue – they sure can pack a punch! Another reason why we love them this season is because a bright color looks amazing against a grey, drab, and even rainy backdrop.
Not only will they breathe life into your travel wardrobe but they’ll make your travel pictures fashionable, too. Love it!
Scarf | Sweater | Luggage | Coat | Cover | Jeans | Eye Shadow | Bag | Cream | Boot
As the temperature drops, our gear gets a bit warmer to suit the snowy weather. Sorel’s boots are the must-have footwear of the season and pair well with leggings or basic jeans. Add a packable down jacket and stay warm all winter long!
Sweater | Hat | Bag | Pillow | Pants | Sunglass | Jacket | Luggage | Boot | Gloves
For a snowy visit with a slightly less casual look, this set is weather-ready and features a more traditional boot-like option. A touch of fur is totally on trend this season and a nice collection of non-boring neutrals brings a bit of interest to a basic-black winter travel wardrobe.
Here are a few tips on how to efficiently get through security as your travel clothing thickens for the winter:
- Place all jewelry or metal accessories in your personal item or coat pocket
- Wear boots with faux-laces that can easily zip on and off instead of being laced
- Take your shoes off before you get to the front of the line, why wait?
- Always remove your shoes, scarf, hat, and coat – even before security tells you to
- Be prepared to place all the above items into a bin through security
These are steps that you can always take in advance so you are never held up in security, no matter if you’re wearing flip-flops or boots.

Great ideas. I always carry a scarf… can you add some in next time..
You can find a variety of scarves here: https://travelfashiongirl.com/stylish-winter-scarves/ A scarf is a travel girl’s best friend so we assume there’s already one on everyone’s list 😉
Jeans are so uncomfortable especially during long flights…why cant a girl just wear sweats. Comfort is more important to me than style
The important thing is that you wear whatever type of clothing you feel your best in. Thanks for commenting!
Love all the outfits! They are on point. I cannot wait for my next business trip and/or vacation.
Thanks Kim! 🙂
Great and versatile options! And all very chic – which I find is so hard to do when you’re wearing layer upon layer of clothing.
Thanks Kate! Glad you like them 🙂
Too many metal bits that guarantee a slow TSA check in; boots and shoes that cannot be removed quickly or easily, or would be awful on your feet for a LONG flight, some too hot or bulky layers for an overheated cabin or a tight seat. Many times you have to keep your coat on, or on your lap when a crowded flight has overhead bins that are full. I prefer down coats that can be compressed into my spinner or tote, or a cape/ruana that can double as a blanket during the flight. Not my idea of function paired with fashion. Surely you could do better.
Hi Paula, I completely missed the two pairs of pants with metal zippers – thanks for pointing these out!
What a tactful response to an inaccurate observation paired with a rude comment. You did not include extraneous metal in your outfits. Furthermore, I completely appreciate the boots because they take up too much room to pack. Not difficult to take off boots or slip off a bracelet as you go through TSA.
Nice outfits–well done 🙂
