Maria Lourenco, Heathrow personal shopper
For him: This multi-coloured, lightweight jumper by Paul Smith (RRP £369, T5 price £307.49) will keep out the chill of onboard air conditioning, while maintaining its shape – even after a long-haul flight. For a casual look, wear with shorts, boat shoes and Ray-Bans.

For her: Try the Oriana, a sheer floral jacquard top by Reiss (RRP £110, T5 price £91.67). It wears well from day to night, so you can go straight from the airport to dinner, and the rum-red hue embraces the trend for dramatic colours.

Heathrow offers a complimentary personal shopping service that can be booked ahead of time or accessed on arrival at the airport at www.heathrow.com/stylist

Sally Taylor, Harrods merchandise manager
For him: The perfect jet-set look starts with chinos. You need a high-quality pair in a wearable fabric. These Harrods of London slim fit chinos (£165) look equally great worn on the plane as they do on a warm summer’s evening. The stretch cotton is comfortable and navy goes with everything.

Brooke Jaffe, Bloomingdale’s fashion director for Ready-to-Wear
For her: There’s no need to sacrifice style for comfort when you’re on the move. The Joiemariner joggers (£110) can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For an A-list airport look, pair with a Rag & Bone T-shirt, Helmut Lang leather jacket, Vince slip-on sneakers and a floaty scarf.

The bag

Editor-in-chief of Selfridges.com
For him and her: For travelling in style, the Bottega Veneta intrecciato leather weekend bag (£2,990) is iconic. It will endure sitting in the luggage hold during transatlantic flights and will provide a chic travel bag for the rest of your life, such is its quality. While this isn’t something you’d cart to the beach, it’s perfect for business travel – and the classy grey shade makes it suitable for both men and women.

Meanwhile, the rose petal shade of this new Mulberry Lily bag (£695) is so summery and fresh, and really complements summer white like no other colour.

The shoes

Elin Mai, personal stylist and style doctor at The Fashion Lounge, the new styling suite at Westfield London
For him: The suede loafer is a timeless shoe, perfect for travel. This loafer from Aldo (£75) is made from soft breathable suede and is ideal for smart and casual wear. Wear with chinos or tailored shorts, polo shirt and a smart jacket.

For her: For a beautiful and comfortable shoe, Ugg’s Lira Mar sandals (£100) gets top marks. The wedge gives you super long legs without the pain, and the fabric lets your feet breathe and move naturally during your flight. Wear them with a floaty kaftan dress and colourful ethnic jewellery.

The shades

Irene Traina, fashion stylist based in Milan
For him or her: French brands Rezin and Waiting for the Sun make beautiful, unisex eyewear using natural materials. These maplewood Baringo shades (£80) are effortlessly cool. For a fun pop of colour, try Miami Blue sunglasses (£107). They’re the perfect combination of Parisian sophistication and Californian attitude. Both brands available at Then and Now
