As dawn breaks over Melbourne’s skyline or the misty vineyards of the Yarra Valley, your hot air balloon adventure demands an outfit as unforgettable as the views.
Dressing for a balloon flight is an art: think elevated practicality meets adventure-ready chic. With temperatures shifting from crisp morning chills to sun-drenched warmth, mastering the layering is a non-negotiable.
Here are three sophisticated, stylish, and functional outfit ideas for your Global Ballooning journey:
1. The Modern Aviator
A shearling-lined flight vest or a buttery-soft leather bomber jacket delivers warmth without compromising on structure, while a breathable linen-blend button-down ensures effortless temperature regulation. Team up with our pilots!
🎈Key Pieces:
- Structured leather bomber jacket
- Linen-cotton blend shirt in earthy neutrals
- Vintage jeans or cargo pants
- Durable, stylish boots
2.The Sandwich Layering
Start with a sculptural turtleneck base in moisture-wicking merino wool, add a quilted down vest for insulation (bonus points for a cinched waist detail), and finish with a sleek, windproof trench in a technical fabric.
TIP: Don’t wear white shoes! They may get dirty as you wonder through the damp/wet grass.
🎈Key Pieces:
- Thermal base layer or fitted long-sleeve
- Fleece jacket or down vest
- Windproof outer jacket
- Comfortable boots or sneakers
3.Colorful Active Style
Brighten up your hot air balloon adventure with vibrant colors!

Layer with a lightweight colour-block windbreaker or a fun, sporty jacket to add dimension to your look. Complete the outfit with comfortable sneakers or classic runners for effortless style and ease.
