When it comes to airport style, I am all about outfits that are comfortable without sacrificing style, and shoes are a key component for accomplishing this. Heels and any other shoes that make for a complicated run through the security line are a hard no in my book. This leaves flat shoes like loafers, ankle boots, sneakers, and ballet flats, my all-time favorite. While ballet flats truly never go out of style, they are currently at the forefront of shoe trends.
I know I am not alone in this preference, as evidenced by the many stylish celebrities who are spotted traveling in the timeless flat-shoe style. Besides the ease, ballet flats instantly elevate even the most basic of outfits. Just don't forget to pack a pair of socks in your carry-on to save you from a grimy barefoot walk through security.
