For as long as I’ve known my friend Ramona Czernekova, she’s always been one of the most well-dressed and fashion-conscious people I’ve ever known. The director of public relations for designer Brandon Blackwood, Czernekova is perennially polished, even on occasions that others might deem casual. So, it took me by no absolute no surprise when, a few years ago, she revealed to me that every time she travels by plane, she makes a habit of buying a fresh new sweatsuit to go to the airport in. “I don’t like travel days, but I look forward to dressing up,” Czernekova said of her endearing travel quirk. She said that she’s adopted the mindset that vacations really begin the second you get to the airport, so she wants to treat it accordingly.But Czernekova assures us that her idea of dressing up to fly is vastly different from the ’50s and ’60s, for instance, when it was common for people to dress more formally for commercial air travel. Comfort, she stresses, is still of utmost importance. “I used to wear leggings, but I found sweatsuits to be way more comfortable, and especially a matching suit, which looks more formal and way more elevated,” she said. “It makes you feel cozy, without looking disheveled and, somehow, gives you the illusion that you’re put-together.”Czernekova acknowledges that this travel ritual has the potential to be an expensive one, so she found brands that she believes strike the perfect balance of affordability and quality. “I really like active wear from Old Navy and Aerie because you can get good material and designs at a reasonable cost, and I like some Amazon sweatsuits for when I’m traveling last minute and need something to get to me quickly,” she said.If you have a trip coming up or just want to shop like my dearest fashion friend, take a look at some of Czernekova’s favorite matching sweat sets, as well as some that she’s had her eye on for her next day of flying.
