Introduction

Winter airport fashion is made to hold runway wars these days-and really, if you've done all right balancing comfort, warmth, and the effortless style.

Either make a snowy mountain escape or a home-return under the frost, it is the order that your outfit means. Shivers at check-in or sweating on the airplane, you don't want that.

Make it right: layer up; the pieces must stand in transit and thereafter.

Let’s explore what makes the ideal winter airport travel outfit, which best jackets for winter airport travel, and warm essentials for cold weather you should invest in for that cozy yet chic look.

Let’s break down ways to style your ideal winter airport travel outfit:

1. The right base layer

The first step is to always start with the right base layer, because these layers are truly your first line of defense. (on a chilly flight!) The reason is that these layers offer you a snug and structured fit while resisting odor and smell.

Base layers for winters are an integral part of warm essentials for cold weather.

While looking for base layers for winters, go for thermals made of merino wool and bamboo blend because these thermals are super soft on the skin, and they wick away moisture and odor as well. Don’t go for cotton-based thermals as this fabric traps in moisture, making you feel rather colder and smelly.

Choose Kosha’s merino wool thermal leggings for extreme cold to keep your legs warm on the flight. 

2. Insulate your way with sweaters, cardigans, or hoodies

Flights and airports can be a bit unpredictable as well. Some lounges can be colder than the other ones, making you feel the chills, and that’s when you need something apart from just base layers for winters and thermal leggings for extreme cold.

Add cozy sophistication to your winter wardrobe with Kosha’s Merino wool cardigan.

That is where you need sweaters, cardigans, or hoodies to insulate your way to the flight. Kosha’s Merino wool cardigan for women acts as a perfect pick for a stylish, trendy yet warm airport look. 

3. Pick the right armour

No airport look is complete without investing in the best jackets for winter airport travel. Well, because no matter how cute your outfit is underneath, your outer layer is what people see first, so it needs to be cute (and comfortable).

When on the lookout for the best jackets for winter airport travel, look for jackets that are:

• Waterproof

• Water-resistant

• Breathable

• Easy to wear with adjustable drawstrings and hoods

4. Layer with a puffer coat

If you are planning to take a flight in extreme cold, a simple waterproof or water-resistant jacket might just not cut it. That is when you need to layer your base layers for winters and thermal leggings for extreme cold with a puffer jacket.

Puffer jackets are lightweight, compressible, and packable, all while being super warm and stylish.

6. Accessories to elevate your style

Small things truly make a big difference. They don’t only elevate your style, but they also provide you with much-needed warmth in a chilly airport lounge. Well, a woolen muffler keeps your neck warm while also doubling up as a cozy pillow on a chilly flight. Check out Kosha’s Mufflers For Women to create your ideal winter airport travel outfit. 

Smart layering begins with the right gear—these touch-enabled gloves are part of Kosha gear for winter vacations done right.

7. Happy Feet = Happy Travel

Happy feet mean happy travel. To complete your ideal winter airport travel outfit, go for shoes that are easy to remove for a quick security check or long walks to the boarding gate.

Make sure to wear woolen socks as they keep your feet warm in a chilly airport lounge and on the flight as well.

8. Gloves and Hand cream

Don’t forget gloves and hand cream. If you are travelling in extreme cold, then gloves and hand cream are a must to keep your hands warm and soft. For gloves, go for touchscreen-enabled gloves, because scrolling Instagram is a must to pass the time in an airport lounge. 

Also, carry a small tube of hand cream to combat the dry cabin air—it’s a tiny addition that makes a big difference.

9. A small backpack saves the day

You need a small backpack at the end of the day to hold all your warm essentials for cold weather. Go for a spacious bag or a tote bag with pockets and zips to make it easier for you to carry around.

1. Base Layer: Thermal long sleeves and thermal leggings for extreme cold
