Finding the ultimate travel-friendly pair is about prioritising those lightweight, easy-on styles you know you’ll rewear once you land. It’s why we’re favouring stylish slip-on mules and rip tape sandals this holiday season. Plus, they’re so easy to take off through security, what’s not to love? While figuring out what to wear to the airport is almost as difficult as packing itself, it’s made simple with just three steps. The goal- making it to your departure gate without sacrificing fashion.
Keep it comfortable
It may not always be the first thing that springs to mind, but airports always involve a lot of time on your feet. From standing in line, to slow strolls (while window shopping) through the inevitable Duty Free, you need a pair that are not only comfortable but durable too. Opting for a stylish neutral trainer or chunky sandal may just be the way forward.
It’s no secret that travelling light is key. To us, that means wearing your bulkiest styles to the airport to avoid them taking up valuable suitcase room. Besides, there isn’t much you can’t achieve with a pair of your comfiest trainers or sandals in tow. The right pair can make your travel experience. That’s why we’re recommending Keystone. With removable insoles ensuring a padded fitting and platform soles providing underfoot support, this leather style is the one we reach for whenever possible, and the airport is no exception.
Opt for easy-on
Creating a sleek airport look for stress-free travel moments is all about opting for hands-free slip-on styles. Easy to take off at any point in your journey, from airport security through to departure, a lack of laces provides all-around effortless styling and unmatched ease.
Opt for a mule or loafer style if seamless transitions are for you. The best part? They style so well with knit lounge sets, baggy jeans and chunky sweaters alike. Plus, a pair of smart-causal closed-toe loafers always comes in handy on city-breaks. Take Destiny, for example, with super-soft leather uppers, decorated with a metallic chain trim accent, they’re comfortable enough for airport wear, and stylish enough to pair with all your day-to-dinner holiday staples.
Consider versatility
Long waiting times call for durable and robust styles you know won’t aggravate your feet. Our advice? If you’re looking to invest in a new shoe style to show off on your travels, make sure you wear them in slightly beforehand. Often all it takes is a short trip out or a few laps around the house. Once you’ve gotten used to your new favourite pair, you can guarantee a comfortable traveling day.
So, what’s the most important thing to consider when choosing your travel footwear? For us, it’s all about finding a style you know you’ll wear again. After all, simply wearing a pair for the airport and packing them away seems wasteful. Take Daphne sandals for example, with a soft leather lining, robust cleated sole, and rip tape fastening the style is designed for optimal shock absorption and comfort. Besides, with beautifully crafted woven sapphire suede upper too, their a fashion sandal designed to make statements. We can think of ways to style them for oversees adventures, can you?
