The Coolest Ways to Wear Leggings to the Airport
If we know one thing for certain about the fashion world, it’s that leggings (a subsection of the athleisure trend) are not going away anytime soon. How are we so sure? Well, to start, there’s the fact that every pretty much every It girl continues to wear them (Selena’s latest look was especially on point). And if that’s not enough, there’s Zara’s endorsement and a trend forecaster’s confirmation, too.
So now that we’re all clear about that, let’s get to the subject of today’s article. We decided to take the staple everyone’s loving right now and the destination people are always wondering how to dress for and combine them into one ever-so-useful post! We’ve brought you five spot-on legging looks that can take you to the airport and beyond, so you’re not only getting the most out of these comfy pants, but you can also stop worrying about your travel outfit (and do so in style).
