AIRPORT OUTFIT IDEAS_ SMART CASUAL & COMFY_ 2024_ Katie Peake (BQ)

Welcome back to my channel for a new video and today we are doing airport outfits. So I've had so much fun planning and prepping this video and styling all these outfits together. So my style is very sort of minimal. I love smart casual outfits and I have 10 airport looks to share with you in today's video. So when I'm traveling, I just love to be comfortable, but I also like to look put together too. So I've kept that in mind when planning this video because I wanted to share with you outfits where you can sort of, especially for like city breaks and whatnot, when it's not a long haul flight, you can sort of then get there, dump your bags in the hotel if you can't check in yet and then go straight out. So I really wanted to create some practical outfits for sort of different scenarios as well. So yeah, without further ado, let's get into my airport outfits. So I'm going to start off with the most important element when it comes to your travel outfits and that's having good, comfortable, high quality basics. So this part of the video is in partnership with a brand called Organic Basics. They honestly do such beautiful, like high quality basics that are really, really soft. And like I already said, I love things that are really good fitting, that are comfortable and will stand me the test of time too. So they kindly sent me some pieces to style with in this video. So you will see some of the bits scattered across the outfits, but I'm going to start with my favorite pieces, which are these flex tees. So I have them in three different colors. I have the black one, I have the cream one, I also have it in this khaki one too. So here's a closer look at the black flex tee. As you can see from the cutaway here, it literally fits me in all the right places. So this is 91% cotton and 9% elastane. So as you can see here, it really hugs me in all the right places, but it's also super soft too, very flattering on. I'm wearing the black one in a size small, and then I also have it in the cream version. So I did a size up to the medium in the cream because I had the size small previously, but found it a little bit on the see-through side. But as you can see here, the difference in the fit between the small and the medium isn't much different. So I would recommend maybe sizing up in their cream and white pieces. And these fitted t-shirts are really having a moment right now. I've seen them everywhere. They look really great styled underneath blazers with wide leg trousers. I also have the khaki version of this flex tee too, and this one's also a size medium. And another important factor to consider when you're traveling is to wear comfortable undergarments. There's nothing worse than having a really uncomfortable bra when you're traveling. And I'm all for comfortable underwear, and I don't care what it looks like. So they also do these smoothing bralettes. So here's a closer look at this. I'm wearing this in a size small, and as you can see, the fit is great on this. It's super stretchy. It holds me in all the right places. And the waistband as well, I can't even feel it on. It literally feels so comfortable. And these are the matching smoothing bottoms too, and they literally hold you in all the right places. I just love high-waisted, seam-free underwear. And they also do these core triangle bras too. So I have it in black and also in the nude too. And I'm wearing both of these in a size small. I thought I would struggle with the fit of these because of me being a bigger bust. So for size reference, I am a 32 double D slash E. And as you can see, these fit me fine. I thought I would have had to size up to a medium, but my back is really narrow. So I always have to make sure I have a small or a 32, and these straps are also adjustable. So we've seen the pieces style within the outfits in this video. I do also have a discount code too for Organic Basics, in case any of you guys are looking at checking them out. So I'll link it on the screen for you now. I'll give you 10% off, and all the links will be down below for you in the description box. So let's start with the first look. So I absolutely love styling a blazer when traveling. And one thing that I've thought about when traveling is previously, I always used to travel in black sort of leggings. So stretchy sort of gym leggings, like my Adenola ones or my Gymshark ones. And when I've got to a destination, I feel like I don't have to get changed. I don't feel sort of like, I don't know, holiday ready, if that makes sense. So I've actually styled my Abercrombie Sloan trousers with this outfit. So I'm styling the Organic Basics Black Tee, and then these are the trousers that I've styled. So these are near my wardrobe you would have seen. These are the Abercrombie Sloan trousers, and these are so comfortable. And I think styles with a blazer for traveling with your trainers, with a black cap, just looks super cool. I actually really love this outfit. This blazer is actually a couple of years old now, and it's from Naked Fashion, but I'll try and link some similar ones for you. But I just really like this all black layer with my black and cream Sambas and the hat. This looks very cool and put together for traveling. Then I thought I'd show you another way to style those black trousers, but with the cream tee, and then adding a cardigan with this look. So I've styled the cardigan open here, but you can also wear it done off if you wanted to. I've kept on the same trainers. I honestly love those Sambas so much. They go with so much in my wardrobe. This beige cardigan is from Pretty Lavish. I think that it has sold out now. So again, I'll link some alternatives for you. But I love that I've matched the cream of this baby tee with my cream and black Sambas. I'm honestly obsessed with those. And all these pieces are really great capsule wardrobe samples. This outfit just shows that you can use your capsule wardrobe samples for different scenarios and occasions. Then next I thought I would style these new Arquette trousers. So this outfit is really great for if you're going to a warmer climate. So I've just styled a white t-shirt with this. This is my oversized relaxed t-shirt from Another Story. And then I've added this grey cashmere jumper from Arquette on the shoulders. Really great to throw on once I'm on the plane because I always feel the cold. But I love how this outfit looks. It's very simple. I love it styled with my Adidas Sambas. Then the next outfit may be a bit controversial. So if you're traveling somewhere which is across a city and it's a bit cooler, then I totally love wearing my relaxed jeans. These are honestly super comfortable. I wear them all the time at home. These are my Citizens of Humanity Ailer jeans. I bought them a couple of months ago and since having them, I honestly live in them wearing at home for running errands because they're literally so comfortable. So I did size down in these jeans to a size 26 as they do come up on the largest size. But I absolutely love the turn-up detail, especially styled with this grey jumper with a t-shirt layer, my Sambas and the Uniqlo crossbody bag. And this look will be really great for exploring a new city on a short haul flight. Then I have another really nice and cozy outfit to share. So you would have seen this set during the autumn winter on my YouTube channel. But I absolutely love it. I wear it at home. I also like to wear running errands. And this is the LilySilk Kashmir set in this beautiful beige colour. The jumper has a detachable hoodie on too. But I thought for travelling, this is perfect. Like I literally could just snuggle up in this because it's so cozy. I wear both of them in a size small and it works perfectly with those black and cream Sambas. And then if I was a little bit colder, I've added this little bomber jacket on the shoulders too. I can also style it on. So this is my bomber jacket from River Island. Another great classic wardrobe staple of mine. I've just added a black cap too to finish off the outfit. Then another jacket which I like to travel in is my denim one. So this is new in my wardrobe from Abercrombie. You would have seen it on my last Spring Collective Haul video. So you've not seen that. I'll link it just above for you. But this is an oversized jacket. I always reach for denim shirts, boxy jackets when travelling. So just really great to throw on. And I like to wash denim as well. It's perfect for Spring or Summer. So I've just styled it with the Cream Baby Tee again. And I've added these trousers from Arket. So I have these in like three different colours. These trousers are from last year, but I'm sure they've brought them back again this year. So I'll link them down below for you. I wear both of them in a size small. But instead of wearing my Sambas for this look and trainers, I've swapped them out for some black chunky sandals, which tie in perfectly with the Black Cross Body Bag. I absolutely love that Uniqlo bag. It's so good for travelling. You can get so much in it. So I'll show you a closer look at that at the end of the video. But yeah, this outfit is super easy, super comfortable. And these trousers are just really great for travelling. Then I've styled the denim jacket again, but with these two pieces. So I've gone for these linen trousers. These are also new in my wardrobe from Naked Fashion. And you're probably thinking, why would you wear linen trousers on a plane because they're going to get so creased? Honestly, I just find these so comfortable to wear. And when you're landing somewhere which is really warm, there's nothing worse than sitting in something, or if you're travelling for a long time, in trousers which aren't breathable. I just find linen just so comfortable. And then to warm the outfit up a little bit, I've added this long sleeve basic top. So this is from Amazon. It's a really great skims dupe. I have it in black. I also have it in cream. And I wear them in a size small. But as you can see, these colours all work perfectly together. And the denim jacket just adds another layer on top. Then next, I have a classic airport look, which is a all-in-one grey sweatshirt hoodie set. So this is also from Abercrombie. I've gone for the zip-up detail top and the matching jogger bottoms. These are honestly so soft on the inside, so comfortable to wear. I wear a size small in the joggers. I actually sized up to a medium in the zip-up top, just to make it feel a bit more oversized. I've just added a little white vest top underneath, but you could also maybe add a long sleeve basic if you wanted to. It's just nice to have this zip detail to show the layer. Of course, I've gone for my black sambas and my little crossbody bag too. Then I have another spring-summer wardrobe must-have, and it's the bra tops by Uniqlo. So this is also new in my wardrobe. I absolutely love these from last year. I wore them on repeat. The built-in bra is just absolute genius. Like, I can't brag about these enough because they are game-changing. So I wear them in a size small. And I thought I'd sell the Again, these are the Sloan trousers. I wear these in a size 27 regular, and I've gone for a blazer too. I just love styling blazers when traveling. So this is also new in my wardrobe from Dish. I really love the colour of this, especially for the spring-summer too. And then, for example, if I got somewhere hot, I could ditch the blazer and I'm wearing the little vest and the trousers. So I've added some sandals to match this blazer, and I've also got my Loewe basket bag too. So if I am going away and I want to take my basket bag, I make sure to use that as my hand luggage just so it doesn't get crushed in my suitcase. And then the final outfit is another tracksuit set. So I got this recently from a brand called Forth and Reckless. They've got some really great pieces at the moment. They've got lots of good loungewear, sweatshirts, just some really great tracksuits. I do have another one from them, which is a really nice dark green colour, which I do like to sell a lot at home. But I've gone for this one. I absolutely love the outfit on this. Very suitable for going away, but it's nice to add some navy as well into my wardrobe. I do want to start styling navy more. I'm just not sure if it suits me, but again, I've gone for my sambas, my polen bag, and I've also added my little headphones too. So let's go into the accessories you've seen in these outfits. So I'm going to start with these headphones. These are from Amazon and they're such a good dupe for the Apple ones. For me, I wouldn't want to spend £500 plus on a pair of headphones because I am clumsy. I would lose them. I would break them. And these are a really great alternative for traveling too. So I have them in the silver and also in the black charcoal too, but he's actually going to have these off me because he really wanted a pair after he saw these ones. These ones are wireless, but they do come with a wire too, which plugs in the bottom. I think the sound is great on them. And then these are the two pairs of trainers. You guys know I absolutely love my sambas. So this is the classic pair. I've had these now for over a year and I style them all the time. And then these are the newer ones. I'm not sure if these are back in stock now. I know they sell out all the time, but these are the black and cream ones. At first when I bought these, I wasn't sure if I was going to style them that much. They honestly go with so much in my wardrobe and they're also really comfortable for me too. I've heard very mixed views about sambas or people saying that sambas aren't comfortable for them, but I do have narrow feet. So maybe that's what it is. And here's a closer look at the sandals. So how good of a dupe are these? I had them last year from a brand called Ego. At first I got the beige colour, tried them on, absolutely loved them, super comfortable. So I also got them in the black too. And then for the travel bags, the first one, it's from a brand called Eliada. This also fits in a laptop. It's really great for travelling, but looks very, very put together. It has this sort of like strap at the back so you can loop it over your luggage, but it also comes with back straps too. So you can wear it on the shoulder as a cross body, but also as a backpack too. And then this is my little Uniqlo bag. They've also launched it in a nice rattan version for the summer, but I honestly use this all the time. This is the nylon one. I do want to see if I can upgrade it to the faux leather one I've seen on their website, but you can literally get so much in this and it's so good for travelling because you can literally fit in your camera, your phone, your wallet, your passport, but it's actually on you. So it makes you feel a bit more secure as well with your belongings. But also a cheeky thing which I like to do when I'm travelling is if I'm packing a handbag, I also take this too because this is actually on me. And for example, if they say that you need to have only one hand luggage bag, this literally fits in the top super easily and they're literally so cheap too. I then have my Polen Simon bag and this is so great for travelling. Even though it's open, it has this little compartment which is attached in the inside. So it just keeps all your valuables nice and safe. This one is the mini size, but it also comes in a bigger size too. And then finally I have my Loewe basket bag. This is literally my oldest basket bag in my wardrobe. It was my first one that I ever bought myself and I just love taking it away with me. You can literally get in so much when you're travelling. This is the medium size, comes back every single year and it's just such a classic for the summer. So yeah, those are all my airport outfit ideas. I hope you guys have enjoyed watching. It's given you some nice inspiration on what to wear for when you are next travelling. I'll also re-share my Organic Basics discount code back on the screen for you and all details are down below and all the links and everything you'll find in the description box. So yeah, as always, thanks so much for watching and I'll see you on my next video.
