Plus Size Outfits for Long Travel Days

Plus Size Outfits for Long Travel Days

Vikki Vi Classics are ideal for long travel days because they’re as comfortable as pajamas and so stylish that you can be confident in how put together you look. 

Long travel days are downright exhausting. Even though you may spend most of the time sitting, getting to that seat can require more walking than you’re used to. Stepping outside of your usual routine brings sensory overload. And traveling between time zones throws your entire system out of balance. It’s no wonder that some people show up at the airport wearing their actual PJs.

That’s not really an option for plus size women. The line between casual and slovenly isn’t the same for everyone. Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or automobile at some point you’re going to be interacting with strangers. People can be the absolute worst and that has nothing to do with us. If you don’t worry about how your seatmates will treat you, please let me know your secret. But looking polished and put together encourages people to treat us with respect. It’s not fair, but this is the world we live in.

Comfortable

I’m not exaggerating when I say that Vikki Vi Classics are as comfy as loungewear. As a work-from-home freelancer, I get to take naps whenever I need to - without having to change back into my jammies. And yes, I actually do get dressed to work in my home office. Kicking back and putting my feet up on the couch isn’t really comfortable when I’m wearing lots of buttons and zips and such. It’s also bad for the clothing - a cotton button-down top is going to wrinkle terribly if I try to wear it lying down.

But that’s not the case with Vikki Vi Classics and Jersey Classics. They’re comfortable and don’t pull or wrinkle. (Synthetic fabrics these days are as pleasant to wear as they are durable - clearly we’re living in the future.)

Comfortable clothes are important when traveling because uncomfortable clothing makes everything just a bit worse. Long travel days are uncomfortable enough without your clothes adding to the problem. 

Stylish

Vikki Vi Classics are appropriate for loads of occasions. The timeless styles can be dressed up or down as necessary. On long travel days, my Vikki Vi Classics make me look like a seasoned world traveler and that makes me feel more at home. It really does reduce my stress. It’s wonderful to arrive looking fresh and not like you’ve been traveling all day. You can go straight from the airport to the office to start working, or dive right into enjoying your vacation. You’ll look like a traveler instead of just another tourist.

Confident

When you know you look nice, you can approach the world with confidence. You can’t do that if you’re constantly adjusting your clothes or worrying if you look OK. That self assurance is absolutely life changing. Long travel days can be an ordeal, but a comfortable and stylish outfit can make it all just a little easier to get through.
