If You're Going to Wear Leggings to the Airport in 2026, Pair Them With These Expensive-Looking Shoes

For most of us, comfort is the priority when we travel, and wearing leggings is one of those things that just make sense. But that doesn’t mean you have to be in the same outfit you’d wear to hot yoga at the airport. Enter leggings and almond-toe flats. Altuzarra made a compelling case for the pairing on the S/S 26 runway. Styled with a long camel coat and an XL bag, the outfit was a clear descendant of quiet luxury, oozing precision and laid-back refinement.

If you aren’t familiar, almond-toe flats are a softer version of a pointy-toe flat. They’re a callback to classic elegance. Think Audrey Hepburn. But almond-toe flats don’t just go well with leggings; they look equally stunning with most slim-fitting trousers like cigarette pants and capris. The look can be taken up a notch by going for leggings in a weightier fabric too, like neoprene or thick cotton. Considering airport style tends to be a conundrum, leggings and almond-toe flats are a solid answer to the question of how one can both be polished and cozy in flight.

Ahead, shop the leggings and almond-toe flats we’re currently loving.
