when I travel my outfit choice is part of my packing routine and if you travel
like I do you know that choosing your outfit that you wear on the airplane
through the airport takes time and thought I want to dress comfortably I
want to feel confident in my outfit and I definitely do not want to worry while
I'm walking through the airport or while I'm on the airplane about what I'm
wearing I want to be in vacation mode in every sense of the word however there
are eight things you should not wear in an airport and let me know in the
comments below if you think I have proven why you should not wear each
piece my name is Laurie and I create YouTube videos about ideas that pop into
my head thank you for taking the time to watch my videos we just got back from
Chicago and this idea popped into my head about what you should not wear on
an airplane when I learned from experience by wearing some of my nicer
boots that I don't wear throughout the day running errands so I'm not used to
wearing them for long periods of time we left on the morning of the snowstorm in
Houston Texas where we woke up at 3:30 to an inch and a half of snow and had to
drive through pouring snow to get to the airport walk through the airport walk on
the airplane and then getting up out of the airport in Chicago I had a blister
already on my tote and we used an uber driver and I had to ask him I said will
it weird you out if I put a bandaid on in your car I am a complete stranger in
this guy's car I was so embarrassed but I had to go to the event right as soon
as we got into Chicago so I couldn't change my shoes well I could have but
the suitcase was on the trunk anyway that's my number one tip is to not wear
shoes that you don't wear very often because of the chance of getting a
blister or two I took some video right when I got back from Chicago while it
was fresh in my mind so you will see me in another part of my house my studio
giving you examples of what I think you should not wear on air
where when we're talking about shoes do not take shoes that don't have a zipper
or that you can't take off easily to get through security I had to take off my
boots that I was wearing to the event and here's what it looks like here's my
boot there is no zipper it's cut it's supposed to be over the knee but I'm
taller so it doesn't go over the knee but I have to take them off like this
okay there's no zipper there's no way to get them off standing a lot in security
is not when I want to sit down on the floor or lean against something and
slide those shoes off I want easy access easy removal to take off my shoes so
pick wisely when you're choosing what shoes to wear in the airport wearing
white pants is so up there I have I learned that very easily because you can
get so many stains on your jeans not because of your own fault if you have on
white pants which are so trendy looks so cool in the winter and in the summer you
can sit on something in the boarding area in the bus the parking lot bus in
the train via terminals you can sit in a seat in the airplane and spill coffee on
yourself I do not recommend wearing them you don't have your cleaning supplies in
you might have to wait five days or however long your trip is to really
truly clean it out one tip my mom figured out when we were in Maine is
that if you boil some water like in your coffee pot if you boil some water and
pour it over your white shirt she had a white shirt it will take out a lot of
the stain with white jeans I learned from experience this happened to me I
was wearing the cutest little white jeans and I pulled my suitcase out of
the overhead bin and because it was so heavy
i clunked it down onto my leg and the wheel of the suitcase
rubbed up against my white pants and it was so much of a smudge that I couldn't
like wipe it off or smudge it out so it's a beyond your control but that's
just something else to think about when wearing white jeans I also think you
should stay away from cream beautiful creamy sweaters and white tops because
of the same reason stains that are not caused by yourself that you have no
control over the turbulence it can come out of nowhere and the littlest bumps
can knock some of the sloshing coffee onto your white shirt or white pants or
white sweater okay another thing that I think in the summer
is so fun to wear is a maxi skirt however when you are walking through the
airport and through the airplane lavatory your maxi skirt is going to
drag against the floor at the lavatory on the airplane and let's think of it
like this as my friend Jim said he's a pilot and he said if you do not feel
comfortable wearing a maxi dress into a like rock concert porta potty or
port-a-john into that bathroom then do not wear it in the airport in the
airplane lavatory okay let's say you are walking to your seat and you sit down
look how much it is dragging on the floor and in the lavatories on the
airplane you know all there is bodily fluids on the floor and people go
barefooted also as a woman you've got to pull that skirt up and you're not
worried about what's on the seat of the airplane toilet you're worried about all
the other stuff that's around it because remember the toilet seat is the same
height as the ledge around it and that's your skirt you've got to be really
careful about that skirt touching the ledge and getting all those bodily
fluids on it with a maxi skirt I have loved this idea from my friend an age
you can tie it up into a knot and that also helps but it is a skirt that is
long and flowy so it is going to drag even if you sit down or squat to go to
the restroom the same thing with the maxi dress it will drag the floor when
you're walking beside the seat your skirt may swipe past somebody's seat
that has I don't know some kind smudge on it so be careful with that
because skirts and dresses they're flouncy and they brush things that you
don't want him to brush on an airplane okay I was so excited when I found this
Cape and I wanted to wear it on the airplane because it's long enough to
wear with leggings or with capri leggings now today I have on my black
pants and my black boots that award but here's what happens when you wear a cape
that has sleeves is you put on your backpack it restricts your arms like I'm
trying to walk forward having the backpack on or a purse with
the weight of the purse right there it messes up the whole look that you're
going for it for your airplane outfit when I travel I want to be like fluid I
don't want any restrictions on my movements I don't want to feel not cute
in my travel outfit so I am against wearing a cape that has like sleeves in
it armhole sleeves and I also have this other one okay I have this cape it's a
shawl there are no sleeve holes okay so it's just the point in the front and the
point in the back but look how long it goes down in the back so when you sit
down or a squat to go to the restroom that back part you've got to really make
sure it does not touch any of the wet stuff that's around the seat not on the
seat but around the seat of the toilet I know it sounds so gross but it is a
reality now I'm gonna put on my backpack and it's hard putting on a backpack with
thick sweaters but that's okay so this does not restrict my arms as much
because there are no sleeve holes hanging pulling up this part of the
material but it messes up the whole look of my outfit so this would not be my
choice for an airplane travel outfit I can wear this any time of the year
anywhere else not on an airplane I just think it's too
much to worry about or fool with and I want to be in vacation mode not thinking
at all I also shy away from wearing a plaid nut
plaid a button-up shirt when I travel on an airplane for my outfit I would love I
love the length and the draping of some button-down shirts but you have this
where when you're spreading or stretching or if you have a poorly made
shirt that's a button now it is easily going to show your skin when you sit
down and spread the fabric unless you have fabric tape this is the best way to
do it you just tear it with the length that you need and then place it down
take off the top layer of plastic you lift it up and take off that last piece
of plastic take it down and then put your shirt right back over it and you
cannot tell like when you sit that is my pet peeve of oxford shirts when you sit
down they inevitably open up or poke up right where you don't want them to and
another way to solve the problem with but no shirts ok gaping open is to sew a
thin little strip like your third button-down or however high you want it
to go to sew straight down all the way to the bottom and that way it won't gap
open at all whatsoever make sure you sew it on the very edge so
that when you wash your shirt and dry it you don't have to iron every little
section like you would normally with a button-down shirt that could fold back
when you wash it and dry it like that there's a condition called thrombosis
and it is where you have a blood clot that forms from very very restrictive
clothing in a certain area especially around your calves and then
can create other blood clots and then the main blood clot enlarges and has
serious risks involved to your health so boots that are way too tight and I've
come close sometimes because my jeans were thick that I wore inside my boots
that's just something to think about thanks again for popping over to my
Laurie pop channel I hope it has helped
