Claudia Schiffer recently sported the French-girl jeans and sandals combination that I genuinely suggest wearing while flying.

      Arriving in Paris this week, Claudia Schiffer disembarked her flight dressed in a travel-friendly outfit consisting of jeans and sandals, perfectly prepared for exploring the city upon arrival. While many tend to prioritize comfort in airport attire—having seen a surplus of track pants and leggings paired with flip-flops or slides this summer—I have always championed the chic French-girl-inspired jeans-and-sandals look for summer travel days. In the French capital, Claudia paired a stylish set of flared jeans with simple brown strappy sandals. Her ensemble was effortlessly chic yet comfortable, ideal for a day of travel.

      I've always considered flip-flops a bit too flimsy for traveling, but given the summer’s heatwaves, closed-toe shoes don't always provide the best option either. Instead, I prefer sleek strappy sandals that fasten securely around the foot, offering a touch more support without losing elegance. When paired with flared jeans, they embrace a nostalgic French-girl vibe, while the longer hem drapes over the foot for added coverage. The wide flare at the hem allows for more room in the jeans, preventing the stiff fabric from feeling too constrictive. My best tip for traveling in jeans is to opt for a well-loved flared pair that has been nicely broken in.

      Traveling straight from the plane into the vibrant streets of Paris? This is precisely how I would approach it. Continue reading to discover the jeans and sandals combination I plan to wear for every flight this summer.
