Nicole Kidman's Non-Skinny, Non-Baggy Jeans Are the Ideal Airport Denim Trend

If you're like me and wear jeans every time you catch a flight, you probably know that the struggle to find the perfect pair for travel is real. You want them to be comfortable and not too tight, long, short, or baggy. I also prefer to travel in a pair that's versatile enough to wear several times throughout my trip. Clearly, there are many things to consider, and Nicole Kidman just wore the style that I believe are perfect airport jeans.
Kidman was photographed catching a flight out of Sydney last week wearing a polished yet relaxed outfit that's ideal for a long flight. With her chic collared cardigan and white sneakers, Kidman opted for a pair of wide-leg, cuffed jeans. This denim trend was a great choice, as you can wear the jeans cuffed or uncuffed for a completely different look. Given that she styled them with sneakers, Kidman's choice to wear them cuffed was a smart one.
