What would you wear on a red-eye?

dot · Marc Jacobs

i wore my beach pants on my agonizing return trip home from pr and they were wonderful. i would just wear something with an elastic band.. like gauchos or beach pants

i also wore a cotton c&c dress on my way there and that was amazingly comfy as well. also i didn't have to worry about my pant hems touching the yucky airplane lavatory floor.

I fly the red-eye all the time. I usually wear black juicy cashmere bottoms or similar pants with an elastic waistband with a thin long-sleeve t and a jacket/hoodie of some sort and slip-on sneakers. It's all about comfort! I also bring my pashmina to use as a blanket, my own pillowcase cover, and an eye mask.

I always get cold on planes, so I advise something warm. In the winter, I wear a long stretch heavy knit black skirt, with a long-sleeved tee and wool sweater. In the summer, usually a lighter long skirt or stretch pants, and a cotton twinset so I can layer as needed. Bring socks to wear!

When I fly the redeye I usually wear some form of cargo pants/tshirt/hoodie. I try to sleep the whole way on the redeye, so I try to avoid jeans, etc. because they make my legs fall asleep if I don't move for a long time. Depending on where I'm landing, I bring a different shirt to change into when I get to the airport.

Escrime is sooo right about the eyemask! They're great for sleeping on an all night flight. I also bring ipod and ear plugs in case I'm in the Screaming Child Section of the plane.

The last time I flew red-eye, I wore terry cloth pants and two layered racerback tanks (and I brought the terry cloth hoodie with me in case I got cold). Red-eye isn't about looking fabulous, but I still wanted to look semipresentable, so that's why I wore the terry cloth outfit.

exactly what I wear.

Black yoga pants, ballet slippers or slip on tennies, baby-tee/close fitting, comfy tee, thin knit cashmere/cotton sweater/wrap or cotton zip hoodie.

I also carry a trial size container (you know those really small ones, like Mario Badescu uses) of heavy lotion and lotion socks to give myself a mini spa treatment while in flight. I've always wanted to get a cashmere airplane blanket too, but never got around to it. If you can make room for it, the neck pillows are nice for getting some shut eye in.

i always end up looking like crap on red-eye flights. haha. so jealous of those who know how to do the whole "airplane chic" thing.

ditto for me! i couldn't live (or sleep) without my eye mask- at home, hotels or planes. it can never be too dark for me!
