Here’s how three well-dressed men do it… All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

It’s less about wearing a suit and more about choosing fabrics that will suit the destination: if I’m landing somewhere hot, I’ll dress lighter, and if it’s cooler, I’ll layer more. The aim is to arrive looking put together and without feeling like you’ve just stepped off a 12-hour flight. **Does this change if it’s short-haul or long-haul?** Not hugely. On a long-haul flight, you’re less likely to walk straight into a meeting, but there’s always the chance your day starts the moment you land. I’d rather be ready for whatever the day brings than start hunting for somewhere to get changed in a shit airport bathroom. **When do you start thinking about it?** I travel a lot, so I’ve developed a few solid go-to outfits. Once the destination gets confirmed (whether it’s work or play), I pretty much know what that trip will look like. **Why the footwear you chose?** Loafers are hard to beat. They work dressed up or dressed down, which gives you a bit of versatility when you land. On long haul, you can slip them off easily, which makes life far more comfortable. ## *Can you give 3 rules for dressing for a flight?* 1. Don’t wear a suit. It’s uncomfortable, it’s not the 1960s anymore, and you’ll arrive looking like a sweaty mess. 2. Ditch the belt. Belts aren’t comfortable when you’re sitting for hours, and they slow you down at security. 3. Layer up. Breathable base layers, like a cotton tee with a light top layer over it, are usually all you need. They’ll keep you comfortable whether the cabin is warm or freezing, and you won’t be wrestling a heavy coat into the overhead locker.

Usually, that’s at least two or three days before, as it gives me enough time to ensure everything is laundered. **Why the footwear you chose?** Whether it's trainers or boots, the two focal points are comfort and convenience. Essentially, I won't wear shoes that have to be laced up. My On trainers have elasticated laces that you don't need to tie. ## *Can you give 3 rules for dressing for a flight?* 1. Make sure your clothes are comfortable. 2. Keep it as minimal as possible (drawstring trousers instead of jeans with a belt, so you don't need to take off the belt, et cetera; don't wear a watch or anything you need to take off during security) 3. Wear layers you can add and remove easily depending on the cabin temperature. A good-quality cardigan can also double as a headrest!

Being smarter always makes me feel more confident. I usually remove my shoes while in the air, so good socks are also essential. **Does this change if it’s short-haul or long-haul?** I usually sleep quite happily while in the air, so nothing makes a lot of difference for me unless I miss the mealtime! **When do you start thinking about it beforehand?** Up to a week in advance, I begin to put things I want to wear aside with my luggage. **Why the footwear you chose?** Trainers are definitely more comfortable for longer periods. The Autry ones I've chosen are knitted, so better ventilation, but a good pair of suede loafers would be a fantastic option too. ## *Can you give 3 rules for dressing for a flight?* 1. Pack prescription sunglasses. They’re important in a bright cabin to read and watch TV shows and films with ease. 2. Wear a lightweight t-shirt. You always want to have a breathable lower layer to avoid sweating. 3. Bring a large warm scarf. Always useful as a makeshift pillow.
