Don't Wear Leggings to the Airport—Try This Outfit Instead

published 16 August 2025

No matter where you are in the world, the airport is a fascinating study in fashion choices. Travel outfits run the gamut from full-on pajamas to suits and ties—and everything in between. I particularly love to fly in and out of regional airports, where you're more likely to spot hyper-specific trends. At the Aspen airport, for instance, you'll see no shortage of cowboy hats from local boutique Kemo Sabe. If you, too, enjoy people-watching at the airport, I think you'll enjoy seeing JFK's most recent celebrity travel outfit—no boarding ticket required.

Lindsay Lohan was just photographed at the New York airport wearing an exceptionally chic travel outfit. One look at her ensemble and I'm considering ditching leggings on planes entirely. Who am I to pass up the opportunity to be just as comfortable but look a lot chicer? The trick to ensuring you're not miserable is to choose soft, wide-leg jeans and flats that you've already broken in. Scroll down to see Lindsay Lohan's new outfit and shop pieces to re-create it.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
