Your guide to looking the part when boarding this summer
When it comes to royals, it’s rare to see them in casual or off-duty styles, so when they do embrace a more relaxed look, it never goes unnoticed.
From Queen Rania and Princess Rajwa to Queen Mary of Denmark, consider this your guide to airport style, royal edition.
The black dress code

Queen Rania has her own comfy airport style, and it's about effortless chic. Favouring head-to-toe monochrome in black. The Jordanian queen has spotted more than once embracing the unofficial travel dress code. Her all-black airport look strikes the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication.
The cosy linen set
When it comes to summer travel, comfort is key, but so is elegance. Heading to the airport in the warmer months calls for a cosy yet breathable outfit, and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein delivered just that. She was spotted arriving in Venice for Jeff Bezos’ wedding alongside her family last month, wearing a dark chocolate linen set (a must-have) that perfectly balanced ease and sophistication. Completing the look with a Bottega Veneta Large Hop shoulder bag and chic white sneakers, the Princess proved that travel style can be both practical and polished, a modern royal through and through.
The quiet luxury look
Airport style has a chic update, and it's called quiet luxury. Ditch your sweatpants and t-shirts for a more sophisticated and cosy look. Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, is leading the way with a masterclass in understated airport elegance: think a dark knit sweater, tailored trousers, Valentino mules, and a classic Goyard tote. Travel style, redefined.
The causal look
Casual denim remains one of the most enduring airport style trends, and Queen Mary of Denmark demonstrated exactly why. Departing Australia, she looked effortlessly cool and chic in a relaxed yet refined ensemble. The Queen was photographed in loose-fitting jeans paired with a crisp white blouse, a timeless combination that perfectly balanced comfort and elegance.
