You’ve booked the flights, sorted the sun cream, and triple-checked that your passport hasn’t mysteriously vanished. Holiday prep? Done and dusted.
Now comes the big question: what on earth are you wearing to the airport?
We all want to look like one of those effortlessly cool celebs gliding through security with their perfectly matching luggage. But let’s be honest - comfort is king when you’ve got a 5am start and a queue at passport control that feels longer than the flight itself.
Bonmarché has you sorted. From Lisa Snowdon’s brand new Edit to the laid-back DASH range, our pieces tick every box: comfy, stylish, and affordable. Expect soft fabrics, easy-to-pair colours, and outfits that look just as good when you’re striding through the terminal as they do when you’re curled up on the sofa after your trip.
So, pop the kettle on and let’s talk travel outfits that make life easier - and just a little more fabulous.
The trick to a great airport outfit? Start with the basics. You need something soft enough to snooze in, stretchy enough to sprint through departures if your gate changes at the last minute, and stylish enough to stop you feeling like you’ve just rolled out of bed - we call them our Comfy Casuals.
Enter our dream team: the Plain Funnel Neck Zip-Through Jacket and Straight Leg Plain Joggers.
Available in rich teal, classic blue, dusky pink, or dark pink, this matching set screams ‘seasoned traveller’ - even if it’s your first trip in years. It’s the perfect balance of style and comfort, like wearing your pyjamas in public… but posh.
Not a joggers fan? Our Two-Pack Multi Ribbed Leggings are a travel must-have. Each pack includes one trusty black pair and one in a pop of colour - navy, blue, brown, or charcoal - so you’ve got options without overstuffing your suitcase. Their thick ribbed fabric ensures we’re way past the transparency issues in the ‘leggings aren’t trousers’ phase, and the colourways (and trusty black pair) can match any top, shirt, tunic or trusty knit that you throw at them.
Once you’ve got your bottoms sorted, to complete your Wardrobe Essentials, you’ll need a top that works just as hard as you do.
Our classic Stripe Print V Neck Sweatshirt and Plain V-Neck T-Shirts (black or white) are perfect layering heroes. They’re flattering, easy to wash, and - according to one very happy customer:
"They look good, are comfortable, wash well, and are great value for money."
In other words, no faff, no fuss, just reliable tops you’ll reach for again and again.
If you fancy something with a bit more flair, layer up with a tunic. The Abstract Print Textured Tunic is a winner - it comes in stone, teal, or black and has that magical quality of looking dressy and comfy.
"Fits nicely, long enough to wear with leggings. Colour is beautiful. Very happy!"
Mix and match your tops and bottoms, and you’ve got multiple outfits from just a few pieces - leaving plenty of room in your case for souvenirs (or, let’s be real, extra shoes).
Explore the full women’s tunic collection for even more mix-and-match magic.
If you’ve not checked out our DASH collection yet, you’re missing out.
DASH is all about smart, casual pieces that are perfect for holidays - think lightweight layers, chic joggers, and easy tops that can take you from a lazy morning coffee to exploring local markets without missing a beat.
It’s practical but polished, like the wardrobe of that friend who always somehow looks good even when they’re just ‘throwing something on.’ Pair DASH with our casual essentials, and you’ll be holiday-ready without the drama.
Sometimes you want the full runway experience at the airport, and we don’t mean waiting for an hour to finally take off.
Travel in style with Lisa Snowdon’s side-stripe tracksuit, it’s a game-changer - comfy enough for long flights but put together enough that you won’t mind bumping into your neighbour at baggage claim.
Or, if you’re looking to dress up your airport basics, pair them with one of Lisa’s super-soft layers for extra warmth and style:
The best outfits don’t just earn their keep on holiday - they slot seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe too.
Our £18 and under range is packed with budget-friendly pieces you’ll wear on repeat. Whether you’re lounging at home, popping to the shops, or heading out for lunch with friends, these versatile staples are up for the job.
And because they come in sizes 10–28, everyone can find their perfect fit - no compromise on comfort, no eye-watering price tags.
Your airport outfit shouldn’t be stressful - it should be the easiest decision you make before take-off.
