Any outfit that saves you the trouble of pairing a top with a bottom is a lifesaver, but a boiler suit is particularly perfect for the airport. It has long sleeves and is typically made of thicker materials, which will keep you warm against the freezing temperature airplanes like to operate at.
To avoid the frumpy, plumber-like look, pair the boiler suit with chic and feminine accessories. Here South Korean model Irene Kim pairs her dark-washed ombre boiler suit with chic white sneakers and gold metallic bag to brighten up the look.
