In the confined spaces of airports, well dressed and stylish women (and men) stick out like sore thumbs in the midst of matching sweat-suits and jogging pants. We can’t help but check them out repeatedly to the point of staring, but why not try out the receiving end of that? Here are some easy ways how:
- Don’t be afraid to wear heels, but be sensible. Wear a comfortable pair of low heels or wedges, no stilettos or pointy-toed ones on the flight.
- Take a rolling suitcase with wheels instead of a duffel bag. It is harder to keep your balance and posture in heels while carrying extra weight.
- Add a touch of bold colour, like deep red lipstick or a bright coloured scarf or shawl.
- Blow dry your hair before you fly. Cabin air dries you out, and it will actually help in maintaining your blow-dried or flat-ironed style. If you go au naturel, your hair will just go flat and staticky.
Wear a headband if you didn’t have time to blow dry. It’s an easy way of keeping frizz and static in check and adds a classy touch.- Moisturize like crazy – that includes your hands, face, as well as body, so drink lots of water and keep a tiny tube of hand cream handy. You’ll look fresh and supple instead of dry and pale like most of the other travelers.
- Touch up your make up just before landing, especially if you have someone who’s waiting to receive you at your destination. Don’t overdo it, just a touch of eyeliner, lipgloss and blush will do for a very fresh look.
Now that you know how to look fabulous at the airport, don’t forget to stay alert, on your toes and on time. Happy traveling!
