If you’re at the airport, then you’re going somewhere. But should you also dress like it? There are those who still believe that air travel is an occasion and that what you wear should reflect this.

But if your mind immediately goes to the same few trusted, but overworked staples, you’ll appreciate the pieces below for a point of difference.
