Jetsetting in Style
For departures from airports, effortless elegance is key. Copy this scene: an oversized blazer over a striped top, paired with tapered trousers or high-stretch joggers. The blazer adds polish while the cotton top and pull-on pants ensure comfort. Top off with white sneakers or slip-on loafers—easy to remove at security but still polished. Bold sunglasses and a structured leather carry-on complete the jetsetting uniform.

Lounge Luxury and In-Flight Ease
Once you’re settled in the lounge or boarding, comfort fabric is king. Slip into a lightweight cashmere sweater or cotton knit polo, and pair with soft stretch leggings or relaxed trousers. Celebrities often top this with a shawl or oversized scarf that doubles as an eye mask for nap breaks. The goal: maximum comfort without sacrificing polish. Swap the old tracksuit for a clean monochrome track-jacket set, or mix cashmere and cotton layers.
Twist it by adding a pop of colour with a cosy pastel cardigan (powder blue and blush are on-trend) or a heritage tartan scarf. A quilted puffer or wool wrap coat from Minox’s SS26 range can be your third layer – extremely warm yet packable. It means you stay snug in the chilly cabin air but can stow it away on arrival.
Arrival & Adventure
Touching down, your airport outfit should double as your first day-of-escape look. For city trips (Edinburgh, Paris via Eurostar, Dublin), keep the London ensemble and just swap to a lightweight raincoat or a knit cardigan (UK weather is famously fickle). Pair with comfortable straight-leg jeans or tailored trousers. If you’re headed to the coast (Brighton, Cornwall, or a Mediterranean getaway), transition to a soft linen shirt or a breezy floral blouse – ideal for both travel and dinner by the sea.
Packing Tips for the Stylish Traveller
- Mix & match: Choose a neutral palette (navy, cream, camel) and pack one statement piece (bright shirt or patterned scarf). This capsule approach cuts down weight and stress.
- Versatile footwear: One pair of smart sneakers or loafers (the Golden Goose Ballstar trainers are a chic choice) plus one pair of flats/boots cover all scenarios.
- Roll, don’t fold: Rolling saves space and prevents creases in silk blouses or cotton shirts.
- Layer heavy items: Wear your bulkiest coat or knit on the flight to save luggage space.
MINOX’s SS26 range is curated with travel in mind: think flowy trousers, oversized knitwear, and lightweight outerwear that pack small. A dedicated weekend tote or canvas bag can stow souvenirs and still look on-trend.
Where to Shop
Find these airport-ready looks at the MINOX SS26 collection (UK delivery available). The site features all the brands mentioned (Max Mara, Lemaire, Golden Goose, etc.).
