Kids Outfit Ideas For The Airport

Travelling with kids can be challenging, especially when they’re complaining that their clothes are itchy and uncomfortable.

The right airport outfit can take your experience from stressful to manageable, helping your kids stay relaxed throughout the journey. 

Today, Village Kids will discuss some kids' airport outfit ideas that are stylish and comfortable for long days of travelling. 

1. Prioritise Comfort

When spending hours in the airport or sitting on a plane, comfort should be the main priority. 

This is especially important for young children, who will become fidgety and restless as the day goes on. Opt for fabrics such as cotton that are soft and gentle on the skin, and avoid scratchy fabrics like denim or wool. 

Bottoms with elasticated waists, such as joggers or leggings, are ideal as they allow for easy movement without restriction. Pair these with loose-fitted tops or hoodies for a relaxed outfit. 

2. Layering for Changing Temperatures

Planes can be very cold or warm with no in-between, so it's ideal to bring a few layers with you. 

Plus, depending on where you’re flying to, it could be warmer or colder when you get there. Layering allows you to easily adapt to different environments. Start with lightweight layers closest to the skin and work outward with warmer layers that are easy to take off.

This could involve a thin vest or lightweight T-shirt, followed by a jumper and a coat or jacket. Depending on the temperature, these can easily be removed or added. Avoid anything with complex buttons or fastenings so it can be taken off easily during security or bathroom breaks. 

3. Stylish Yet Practical Footwear

Travelling days call for a lot of walking, so comfy shoes are essential. 

Opt for shoes with good cushioning and a supportive sole. Trainers are versatile and stylish, pairing well with joggers, jeans, or leggings. 

Choose slip-on shoes or those with easy fastenings, like Velcro straps that can be quickly taken off and put back on. This will make the security process much quicker. Opt for materials such as mesh or lightweight leather that provide good air circulation. 

4. Fun Accessories and Practical Add-Ons

Accessories can play a great role in making your journey more fun and stress-free for your children. 

A small backpack or a child’s ride-on suitcase can add some fun and novelty to the journey. This will give your child a sense of responsibility and independence, and they can store their favourite snacks, games, or toys for the plane.

If you're jetting off to a sunny destination, keep a sunhat and glasses handy for your child when they step off the plane. This is ideal for early flights, protecting your child as soon as you land. 

5. Matching Sibling Outfits for a Coordinated Look

Planning different outfits as a parent can be stressful. Simplify the task by choosing a coordinated look for your kids.

This could involve buying a two-piece tracksuit set or a fun patterned top and shorts set. Dressing your kids in bright colours or patterns can make them easier to spot if they wander off in the airport.

You could even mix up patterns, like pairing a floral top for one child with a floral accent on another child’s trousers. This may keep any arguments regarding wearing the same outfit at bay.
