But there is one way to reduce the stress, and it comes down to nailing the perfect winter travel outfit that’s both practical (we’re talking TSA-friendly) and comfortable.
Whether you need to spend the night at the airport or hop straight off the plane to your annual family get-together, there’s a look for every type of winter travel scenario. Some classic must-haves, though? A comfortable pair of pants, whether leggings, velvet flares, or loose-fitting track pants. Of course, a cozy sweater and jacket are other essentials to have on hand when dealing with the frigid airport (and plane) temperatures.
