Stop what you're doing and pay attention, because #BellaIsBack, and it's nothing to take lightly. Any loyal Bella Hadid fan will tell you that the supermodel has been steering clear of the public eye for quite some time now, so spotting her in New York City outside of her sister Gigi's NoHo apartment on Wednesday is kind of a big deal. No, actually, it's a huge deal. And her impeccable—seriously, no notes—outfit for the occasion only emphasized the moment's importance. 

For the rare sighting, Hadid chose a very '90s, model-off-duty type of ensemble, opting for a trench coat, black turtleneck, and stretchy, black flared leggings (or, as I like to refer to them, yoga pants). Accessorizing like a pro as always, she added a checker-print tote-style shoulder bag, F/W 99 Prada boots, and DMY by DMY wire-rim sunglasses. The look appeared effortless and therefore is bound to be copied all across TikTok. But honestly, it wasn't her outfit as a whole that struck me when I first saw photos of it, but just her pants, which I couldn't help but notice would be utterly perfect for flying

On Bella Hadid: Susamusa Oring Trousers ($85); Prada boots; DMY by DMY Olsen Sunglasses ($225)

The specific style is from the London-based brand Susamusa and made of a comfy jersey fabric that a frequent flyer like myself looks for when planning travel outfits. Even better, they're not just comfortable. Aesthetically speaking, they could easily be worn anywhere straight off the flight. Are you starting to see why I used the word perfect? 

Scroll down to shop her exact $85 pants and more travel-friendly bottoms for your next trip to the airport. Throw them on with whatever trench coat and turtleneck you have hanging in your closet, and voilà! You've got Hadid's first look out in what's felt like forever down.
