You will rarely spot Jennifer Aniston [1] at the airport without a cosy-looking, oversize scarf [2] wrapped around her neck. But that's just one of the smart accessories she remembers to wear for a flight. Through the years, Jen has had to learn how to pack a carry-on [3] for quick trips and probably what to keep on hand so she can take a meeting or make an appearance at an event [4] almost immediately after she steps off the plane. That's why she's quickly become our go-to source of inspiration for our own vacations [5].
If you read through Jen's travel history ahead, you'll find a good reason for wearing espadrilles through baggage claim [6] and cinching your denim with a belt, even though you might have to take it off when you go through security. (Trust, if you're wearing the right jeans, you won't be uncomfortable!) Ahead, check out our guide to Jen's most stylish excursions, and shop her pieces while you're at it.
Slouchy Boyfriend Jeans
These are comfortable enough to wear on the plane, but Jen comes off a flight looking casual-cool and effortless in her distressed pair. She styled them with strappy espadrille wedges [8], a Mark Cross bag, and a breezy polka-dot blouse at LAX in June 2017.
A Wide Brim Hat
No matter the season, this neutral topper can shield your hair when you just didn't feel like brushing it, and it can also double as one of those accessories you wear later. Jen coordinated hers with optical glasses and flares at LAX in November 2016.
Espadrille Wedges
Jen's go-to pair happen to be Burberry. She wore her cognac pair for extra height and support at LAX in July 2016.
Delicate Gold Necklaces For Layering
Jen was glowing as she made her way through LAX in July 2016. She completed her simple outfit of a cardigan, oversize scarf, and wedges with some layered necklaces she could easily coordinate with a dinner dress while on holiday. Trust, it's always best to wear your jewellery on the plane to avoid a tangled mess once you arrive at your destination.
A Scarf to Brighten the Mood
Jennifer uses her scarves on a flight as a sort of armor — she wraps them around and around her neck and even uses them to hide her face from the paparazzi. Of course, we don't all have that same issue, and as Jennifer proved at LAX in August 2013, lightweight linen scarves in pretty shades can also be used to brighten an outfit. If you're headed someplace warm, style it again later with a bikini or tie it around your tote bag during your trip.
White Sneakers
Jennifer Aniston [9] keeps white low-top sneakers in her rotation [10] 100 percent of the time. They're functional for a flight, and they go with just about every outfit you could possibly pack. She styled a pair with army green trousers and a smart blazer to catch a flight from LAX in August 2013.
Dark Sunglasses
You never know when you'll want to slip on your sunglasses, so don't stow them away in your carry-on. Jennifer wore hers with a camel coloured coat and grey scarf at LAX in February 2011. We're especially fond of the aviator shape, which is totally season-less.
A Leather Jacket
It's always the right time to wear your leather jacket. No matter where you're travelling — even if it's a tropical destination — you'll need at least one layer to protect you from the chilly AC on the plane. Jennifer wore hers with cuffed boyfriend jeans and a Louis Vuitton monogrammed scarf when she touched down in London in 2010.
A Cashmere Zip-Up or Cardigan
Jen clearly knows that something neutral, cosy, and body-hugging makes for the perfect answer to layering for a flight [11]. She wore a grey cashmere zip-up at LAX in 2009.
A Trusty Leather Belt
Back in 2008, Jen caught a flight out of LAX in style. The actress wore her signature boot-cut jeans with a versatile leather belt, and she opted for a neutral-toned moto jacket up top.
