If picturing yourself on a sunny beach somewhere with a sparkly drink in hand has been getting you through the workweek lately, a lot of Us can relate. Everyone seems to be planning a trip to Europe, Asia or some island down South. What a wonderful and exciting time!

The only aspect of travel that most people (rightfully) dread is that — the travel. Paying for overpriced airport snacks and then sitting on a too-hot airplane for a few more hours isn't ideal, especially when early flights and jet lag are tossed into the mix. It's worth it, of course, but we all know the feeling of desperately needing that post-airport shower!

To actually enjoy the airport — and yes, this is 100% possible — it's essential to dress properly. Lightweight clothing, layers and comfy shoes make all the difference in the world! We found 18 lightweight sets with shorts or pants that will make you even more excited for your trip, including the airport. Just grab one of these, your favorite cardigan and comfy sneakers . . . you're good to go!
