*This* Is Exactly How to Wear Leggings to the Airport and Still Look Chic
From the colour of the leggings to the shoes to wear with them—this is how to style leggings for the airport and still feel chic.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever come across a leggings-at-the-airport outfit as chic as this shot of Bella Hadid that I just stumbled across. Already saved to my travel-outfit moodboard: Bella arrived at the airport making leggings look better than I've ever seen them.
As is often the case, her elevated ensemble came down to a few thoughtful styling choices. Let's start with the colour. Rather than reaching for a glossy pair of black lycra leggings, she opted for a matte, mid-grey style, which she paired with a tonal knit, easily creating a cohesive outfit that makes comfort dressing feel so much more considered.
Then to the shoes. Perhaps the most integral part of her airport look, Bella bypassed trainers and ballet flats in favour of a pair of black, heeled knee-high boots. Whilst comfortable footwear certainly has its place when travelling, the sleek silhouette of her boots brings a sharper finish to the skin-tight leggings, making the whole look feel incredibly polished.
A black knit knotted around her waist and a pair of dark sunglasses completed the outfit, keeping everything feeling cohesive and understated.
If anyone can craft an airport outfit centred around leggings and make it look genuinely chic, it's Bella Hadid. And if you're as inspired by her styling as I am, read on to shop my picks of grey leggings and knee-high boots below.
