Yusuke“On long-haul flights, I want to relax as much as possible. While flip-flops are comfortable for bare feet, wearing elegant slippers is also a stylish choice.

John Lobb's "Naiton" slippers are a luxurious masterpiece with cashmere suede uppers and a reverse suede trim around the opening. Their chic design and cushioned comfort are particularly appealing.

I also appreciate the substantial zipper on the case; it adds a touch of opulence. Some airlines provide in-flight slippers, but I'm not a fan of the thin materials they often use.

A cashmere V-neck sweater is a versatile item to have. It's incredibly useful when the cabin gets a bit chilly. The first time I started carrying one was years ago when designer Richard James gave me a navy cashmere V-neck sweater, saying, 'This is really convenient for flying.'

Since then, I always pack a thin yet warm cashmere V-neck sweater that I can easily slip on over a T-shirt.”
