I'm a travel expert - these are the best clothes to wear on flights (2025)

This inflatable neck hoodie is a must-have for anyone planning a long-haul flight.

Who wants the extra baggage of a neck pillow when you have this?

Equipped with a plastic tube and air valves for swift and straightforward use, you simply blow into it and the neck pillow inflates in seconds.

When travelling from a cold country to a hot one, and then back again, it can be very frustrating having to pack a jacket, as they usually take up so much room - or you end up carrying it on your arm.

But Mac in a Sac has the answer - with insulated jackets that pack away into a tiny bag.

There are plenty of colours and sizes to choose from, and can be worn by men and women.

If you're looking for a bag to fit Ryanair's stingy luggage restrictions, look no further than this bargain bag.

Worried about someone getting their hands on your things?

This anti-theft bag with lockable zippers and a slash-resistant body will help calm your fears and let you enjoy your hard-earned break.

It also looks really stylish, and is available in three different colours.

A cosy matching set is the perfect way to meet the comfort-chic criteria that many plane passengers are keen to achieve.

This one from SHEIN offers an alternative to sweatpants, with loose-fitting trousers.

The matching cardi also means that you can just undo the buttons if you get hot, rather than pulling a big hoodie over your head.

Loose-fitting trousers are the way forward for flights, as doctors have issued a major warning to plane passengers who opt for leggings and tight jeans.

SHEIN is selling some great wide leg pants, in a range of colours and patterns.

What's even better is that they're being sold in packs of two, so you have one pair of trousers for the flight there and back.

A crease-free basic tee is essential on your travels, perfect for layering or pairing with a statement bottom, like above, and keeping comfortable.

New Look is selling this top in four different colours.

Are you rushing off the plane to a business meeting?

It's sold in a wide range of colours, and can be worn as a long sleeve shirt, or with the sleeves rolled up.

Dresses are a criminally undervalued travel outfit that you can be worn on the plane and during your holiday, saving crucial baggage space.

This one from New Look can be thrown on and dressed down with some trainers or up with a statement necklace and wedges.

It comes in four different colours and is currently on sale, with 25 per cent off.

If you want a more figure-hugging dress that can also be dressed up or down, NEXT is the place to go.

The clothes company is selling dresses in packs of three, perfect for making your packing more straightforward.

For an elegant yet versatile look, try this satin skirt with an elasticated waistband for extra flexibility and glamour.

The A-line midi skirt comes in a multitude of colours and patterns, ready for any event or situation, as soon as you hop off the flight.

You don’t have to compromise your comfort to look good when it comes to your shoes.

This slip-on pair of trainers look smart and are easy to take on and off - so you'll still get an advantage in the airport race.

A basic T-shirt that can be smartened up while still being comfortable is all anyone needs on their trips.

Decathlon's tees are just £4.99, and come in a range of colours including white and black.

They are also made from a moisture-wicking fabric, which means you won't be getting any sweat patches.

What a steal!

Uniqlo has a huge range of shirts in a wide variety of colours and patterns, as well as different fits and collar shapes - so there really is something for everyone.

All the shirts are 100% cotton and wrinkle-resistant, so no ironing is required, and they can be easily packed in your suitcase.

Amazon sells a pair of trousers that are a great staple you can dress up for your business meeting, or down for a casual dinner abroad.

They are also water-resistant and made for effortless movement, plus they come in a range of colours.

What more could you want?

Walk around with ease and style with these trendy slip-on trainers from M&S.

In a breathable fabric, these shoes can dress an outfit up or down.

It can always be tempting to just rock up to a long-haul flight wearing your PJs.
