No Leggings, No Carry-Ons—Trendy Airport Looks Feature These Jeans, Bag, and Footwear
You can always count on Charli XCX to show up at the airport in the most stylish, yet completely unconventional, outfit I've encountered this season. Overlooking nearly all traditional airport dressing guidelines, the singer opted out of comfy track pants and common leggings, left behind cushy trainers and slip-on Uggs, and didn’t even take a wheeled cabin bag with her. Instead, Charli devised a cool-girl travel style that I would be happy to wear at Heathrow myself.
Starting with a surprising twist on the typical anti-leggings trousers, Charli disregarded every comfort-centric travel suggestion and boarded her European flight in a pair of black flared jeans. These jeans hug her figure before flaring at the hem, presenting a look that is far from the casual styles most travelers prefer but undeniably polished.
To elongate her appearance, she paired them with sleek black pointed-toe heeled boots. While not the most practical choice for the airport—especially in security lines—these elegant shoes conveyed a confidence that perfectly aligned with Charli's playful fashion sense. In a final styling decision that has genuinely shifted my perspective on airport fashion, Charli opted for Chanel's Large Tote (£8520) instead of the usual carry-on suitcase.
This spacious handbag, already favored by some of the most fashionable individuals, has been popping up everywhere lately. A staple in the wardrobes of both Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber, the oversized black tote provides a sophisticated alternative to typical luggage.
Although it may lack the convenience of wheels, the XXL tote compensates with ample storage, making it a surprisingly practical choice for everything from weekend getaways to extended trips. Unexpectedly motivated by Charli's daring airport style, I've compiled the best bags, jeans, and shoes to help you achieve her travel look below.
