Travel Chic

Carrie Underwood practically defines 'travel in style' with this trendy on-the-go look. Don't let an airport, train or bus station be an excuse for slouchy style; take a page from Carrie Underwood, whose striking blue oufit shows that traveling in comfort can coexist with traveling in fashion.

Dress

The centerpiece of Carrie's outfit is her draping, Grecian-inspired dress. To maximize your comfort while on the road make sure you pick a flowing, loose design like Carrie's; nothing will cramp your style more than a piece of fabric or zipper digging into your skin.

For a dress in the same gorgeous shade of cerulean blue try ASOS' Nicola de Main Satin Cross Drape Dress ($40.79 on sale from $135.98). For the more modest, it has short cap sleeves to keep those shoulders under wraps.

Looking to show more skin like Carrie does? MaxStudio's Draped Swingy Dress ($98 on sale from $148) has a fun, seductive neckline like Carrie's. Snag it in cobalt or basic black.

If you're in a colder climate, try a loose-fitting jersey dress with longer sleeves. ASOS' Vila Cowl Neck Jersey Dress ($30.59 on sale from $59.49) is just the ticket.

Shoes

Carrie sports some seriously strappy brown sandals. Keep yours on the flat side so that you can stay on your feet with ease. Here are two fabulous and affordable options: Both Madden Girl's Stoneham Flat Gladiator Sandal ($29.95) and N.Y.L.A.'s Women's Mandee Sandals ($52.46) have a similar aesthetic and look much more expensive than they actually are.

Purse

Carrie looks ultra trendy with her gorgeous, over-sized black leather bag. LuLu's Black SoHo Handbag ($34) has the exact same shape as Carrie's bag as well as similar gold hardware.

Dog bag

Though it's hard to get a good look at it, it appears that Carrie is toting a dog bag for her most precious cargo: her adorable pup. Though it's a very functional piece, she keeps it in check with her chic look by snagging a solid black one. Want to transport your dog in similar style? Try PetSmart's Deluxe Sherpa Bag Dog Carrier ($49.99-$69.99, depending on size); this durable bag will let you transport your dog comfortably without overpowering your outfit and sacrificing style.
