Alexa Chung is an international style star, and the British beauty is talking all things travel in an interview with W. She keeps cozy in her Ugg boots collaboration, prefers window seats, and of course has a fashion philosophy when it comes to off-duty, travel-friendly ensembles that are stylish to boot.

"I've got this Saint Laurent blazer that I wear. It's black velvet, pretty plain but I realize I wear it every time I'm on a plane," the self-proclaimed jet-setter tells W. She notes that she pairs her simple yet polished jacket with vintage denim a lot of the time. Alexa's unexpected travel essential adds a structured element to any look but is soft and comfy, making it the perfect way to finish an outfit. We're all for an effortless piece that pulls together the most casual ensembles, especially when it comes to traveling.
