Airport style has been quite rare lately, but honestly, I don't mind because the travel looks of the '90s were undoubtedly the best. As I start to plan my summer trips, I'm taking notes from the past to perfect my airport look and keep things comfortable yet chic. If you take a turn through the '90s photo archives, you'll be surprised at how relevant each of the looks is to this day. Celebs like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell have a gold mine of vintage outfit inspiration, but their travel looks are a personal favorite to sift through. (Plus, they're the most wearable.)
In fact, their outfits predicted many of the significant 2023 trends on the horizon. Yep, there are big bags, silky trousers, tailored suiting, and everything "lowkey luxury." I couldn't help but want to re-create these looks immediately, so I found all the simple pieces needed for each outfit at Nordstrom. Go on to see the best '90s celebrity airport style, and get ready to shop the outfits.
Mariah Carey wore a slip dress and mules to the airport, and so would we.
The kind of black dress you can wear to multiple occasions, and Carey proves the airport can be one of them.
Le Specs's sunglasses have designer quality.
These are perfect easy black sandals, and they're on sale!
Is there anyone more stylish than Crawford? In my opinion, not a chance. This blazer-style leather jacket couldn't be more on-trend.
Try out a moto jacket to make Crawford's look more on-trend for 2023.
This has easily become my favorite basic.

Another stellar pair of Mango jeans for you to add to your cart.
Yep, zip-up sweaters are the comfortable airport outfit staple that is also stylish.
With this in your arsenal, you'll be cozy as can be during your plane ride.
I know these are a little over our $100 budget and are more '80s style, but I couldn't help it. The slimming silhouette is not too skinny but also not too baggy. It's just right.
This on-sale find is selling fast.
Jennifer Lopez can truly do no wrong, including this chic winter airport look with a cream sweater and jeans.
Free People always delivers on comfort.
I'm impressed, ASOS.
The open stitch makes it airy and comfortable for travel.

The frayed hem really makes this cardigan a 10/10.
More flattering than your average tank.

I can already imagine wanting to wear this top almost every day.
You can't go wrong with Levi's.
Jeans and a white top never looked so good, Julia.
Just the right boxy fit.
While Julia Roberts opted for a straight leg, I'd be interested to see the simple look above with barrel jeans, Wholesale Replica Bag denim trend of 2023.
