Traveling for Thanksgiving? Don't sacrifice style for comfort while sitting in a plane or car. Greet your family and friends looking fresh and fashionable with the following tips.

Ensemble ideas:

A basic style rule for traveling is to dress classic and simple. Don't overwhelm an outfit with trends and accessories. For guys, this can be shown by wearing a polo shirt, straight dark-wash jeans or khakis, a blazer and nice pair of black or brown shoes. Throw a scarf around your neck for added style and warmth.

Women can adopt a similar ensemble. Create a chic, impeccable travel outfit by wearing skinny jeans and flats with a simple cashmere or wool sweater. Pull together your outfit by wearing a cropped or tailored jacket. Throw a pashmina or knit scarf on as well, if you like.

What to bring:

Pay attention to the luggage you're using. Carrying matching luggage will instantly upgrade your look. Women can use a simple, oversized bag as a carry-on. Vera Bradley makes matching luggage in various patterns and colors. To check out the styles, go to www.verabradley.com.

Take sunglasses with you to hide tired, red eyes after a long flight. Bringing a travel-size toothbrush and toothpaste also will help you freshen up before getting off the plane. Skin can get dry on airplanes, so apply lotion and lip balm to avoid flaking.

Evian Mineral Water Spray also is a great item to stash in carry-on luggage. Spritzing Evian on your face can brighten dull skin just before arriving at your destination.
