Margot Robbie Flew 7 Hours in the Jeans I'll Never Wear to the Airport Again
First and foremost, Margot Robbie always looks incredibly chic when she travels. Today, landing at JFK after a flight from London, was no exception. For the occasion, Robbie chose the easy combination of a trench, a white T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and lace-up ankle boots. It's basically a perfect, no-fail travel outfit, except for one thing: the type of jeans she wore.
In the past (documented both here and here), I've declared that after learning the hard way, I'd never again travel 100% rigid jeans—especially if they have a button fly—when traveling. Because they don't really give or let you breathe (not the straight-leg ones, at least), they make for an entirely uncomfortable travel experience, especially for a lengthy international flight. That said, there's certainly a chance that Robbie did a quick change on the plane or airport bathroom upon arrival (whether or not that's the case, we'll never know). But I'm sticking with my rule and not going anywhere near 100% cotton jeans during my flights.
I'd definitely wear Margot Robbie's outfit with stretchy jeans, and if you're on the same page, scroll on to shop her look, along with some of my favorite pairs of comfortable jeans that are perfect for travel.
