Courteney Cox’s Airport Outfit Showed Us Precisely How to Dress Up Sweats While Looking Fashionable

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. 

When it comes to airport travel, there’s one thing I can guarantee about my outfit — it has to be comfortable. But I don’t want to look like a mess in sweats, and thankfully, Courteney Cox just modeled how to dress up a sweatshirt to look put-together while on the go.

The Friends star was spotted at an airport in a classic crewneck sweatshirt and relaxed blue jeans. She accessorized with Hollywood’s go-to bag, a crossbody, in a seasonal woven pattern. Plus, she polished off the look with supportive-looking sneakers.

Oprah Winfrey is also a fan of crew necklines. Wearing a crewneck in sweatshirt form like Cox is not only warm but also practical for layering during unpredictable spring weather. The star’s roomy jeans are the stylish swap I’ll be wearing now instead of sweatpants, and her woven crossbody bag (that looks similar to a style she’s carried in the past) comes in a genius hands-free design that’s ideal for traveling.

Never again will my airport outfit lack style thanks to Cox’s mix-and-match pieces. If you want to recreate her look like I’ll be doing, read on for similar styles at Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and more from just $9.

Gildan Crewneck Sweatshirt

I must admit that moving from an island back to a contiguous state with four seasons was a shock to my closet — I’m severely lacking in warm clothes. So thanks to Cox I’ll be grabbing a crewneck sweatshirt like this one that’s just $9 at Amazon. The crewneck helps keep your chest covered while the brushed interior adds an additional layer of warmth. In addition to white, it comes in 24 other colors like blue, yellow, red, and more.

Lee Relaxed Fit Straight Jeans

Relaxed straight jeans are a good alternative for those who want to steer clear of ultra baggy or wide-leg styles but still want a little extra room. You can tuck this pair into boots and booties, or wear them with sandals and white sneakers this spring. The jeans have five functional pockets, and one Amazon reviewer called them “very flattering.”

Upsong Woven Crossbody Bag, $36 with coupon

With an adjustable strap that you can sling around your shoulder, this $36 crossbody bag is so convenient, as it frees up your hands. This bag has a deep pocket that’s secured by a zipper to keep your items protected. And the woven fabric is multi-seasonal, so you can carry it all spring and summer long, whether you snag it in a black or brown hue.

With spring break around the corner, make sure that your bags are packed with warm weather finds — and that your airport outfit is covered. Keep reading to shop more of Courteney Cox’s blueprint pieces.
