When traveling, it’s important to maintain your personal hygiene and beauty routine. A swipe of mascara and lipgloss can do wonders for your appearance, even in the simplest of outfits. Put your hair in a protective style, such as braids or a loose bun, to add a purposeful touch to your look. And yes, you can wear your favorite loungewear pieces without showing up to your destination in a lazy outfit. It just takes a bit of styling! 

Here are 15 feminine (and easily recreated) travel looks to inspire your next vacation flight!
