At the airport

Let’s decode airport style, a trend that’s recently entered the fashion lexicon: roomy layers in earthy neutrals paired with your favourite slouchy jeans or fitted joggers. In other words, minimum effort, maximum style and comfort. Natural fibres like Loro Piana’s cashmere and Papiro cotton sweater and linen chinos breathe better than synthetic ones, so you’re kept at a pleasant temperature indoors or out. Layer up with Zegna’s iconic Overshirt from its New Jackets range. Refined yet utilitarian, it represents the Italian luxury house’s new take on sophisticated tailoring. Plus, pockets for passports and such. Finally, breeze through security screening in a pair of Triple Stitch Sneakers, which slip on and off with complete impunity.

Business trip? Opt for a solid, no-nonsense carry-on like Samsonite’s Proxis Spinner to keep it as painless as possible. The elegantly ribbed hardshell suitcase is made with the proprietary Roxkin, a hard-wearing material that has ‘bounce back’ memory, which means it’ll shake off whatever you throw at it with nary a dent. Crucially, it comes with a USB port so you can keep your smartphone charged on the go. Practically non-negotiable in the age of digital vaccination certificates and other electronic travel documents.
