Mile-High Survival

I'm going on a family trip to Asia next month to catch up with relatives, and I couldn't be more excited. The one downside is how long it takes to get there, and unfortunately I'll be flying solo since I'm the only one leaving from New York. I've been strategizing ways to occupy myself on board (stockpiling books and back issues of The New Yorker, and I downloaded the first season of Mad Men to watch on my laptop) so I might be okay on the entertainment front. But after all my ruminations about the best thing to wear on planes, anticipating this extra-long flight has had me fantasizing about ideal travel clothes—again. Here's what I've come up with: cashmere leggings. I realize these are kind of pajama-looking, but given I'll be in the air for practically an entire day I don't care. They'd also be great to wear just lounging around at home, and I love the emerald green color. Paired with an oversize, tissue-thin cardigan and shawl they make the plane ride seem a lot less daunting.
