Keep Warm with a Beanie
It can pretty hard trying to decide on a hairstyle that will be both cute and comfortable for sleeping or relaxing on long flights. Beanies are super easy to throw on, masking any bad hair day, and keep your head snug and warm.

Use Your Scarf as a Blanket
Not only are blanket scarves a great statement piece to any simple cold weather outfit, they can also be very functional when flying. Gently wrap your scarf over your face for a quick shut eye and to calm any worries of making funny sleeping faces.

Throw on an Oversized Jacket
When it comes to layers for traveling, you really can’t go wrong with an oversized jacket. When it gets extra cold, use it as a blanket or keep it on as you hurry between terminals, embracing the oversized trend.

Opt for Slip-On Shoes
Airport security is already a lengthy process, so why not make it easier on yourself? Slip-ons will guarantee a smooth security process. Just make sure to pull on a pair of comfy socks to keep your feet warm on the flight.

Mix Fabrics
Layers are great for staying comfortable in fluctuating temperatures. Instead of layering on a bunch of sweaters, try a puffer jacket and a sweatshirt for more interest and different fabrics.

Lessen Your Stress with a Dress
Dresses can be great options when you can’t decide what to pick. Pair a sweater dress with some tights for a look that will keep you feeling cozy throughout the entirety of your flight.
