Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid know a thing or two about off-duty airport style. Whether they’re traveling the world for Fashion Week shows, campaign shoots, or red carpet appearances, these globetrotters always put together a look that is heavy on both fashion and comfort.

Their secret? A small arsenal of elevated travel essentials from a slew of breakout brands whose sole mission is the creation of great basics for men and women on the go. Cuyana, The Great, and Lemaire create minimalist sets that include wide-sleeve hoodies, wrap coats, and knit skirts. For something more playful, Yan Yan Knits, The Range, and model-favorite Cotton Citizen have more fashion-forward versions of the casual cardigans, ribbed tanks, and bike shorts one might wear on a transatlantic trip. (Streetwear fanatics need look no further than Palace, Madhappy, and Heron Preston for their fix.)

Looking to elevate your airport style game? Here’s how to achieve the ultimate off-duty look with the best elevated basics, inspired by five seasoned jet-setters.
