There are two kinds of people: those who travel in leggings or drawstring pants and those who wear jeans to the airport. I'm definitely the former. I just can't get comfortable wearing denim for hours, but I do envy the people who can. If that's you, don't worry—you're in good company. Fashion people like Margot Robbie, who recently paired jeans with chunky ankle boots, are on board.
Robbie, who is starring in the upcoming film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, was spotted at JFK Airport in NYC this weekend wearing a Yankees baseball cap, an army-green jacket, a cropped black tee, straight-leg jeans, and chunky ankle boots. She carried a slouchy leather bag on her shoulder and pushed two Away suitcases.

The key piece is her shoe choice—practical for walking and stylish for making a fashion statement. The chunky, cushioned sole likely offered support and comfort while standing in the security line and walking to the gate, and the sleek leather design with contrasting yellow stitching added flair and interest to the look. Plus, the ankle length paired perfectly with the straight-leg hem. If you're looking for a fresh shoe style to go with your jeans the next time you jet off, take notes from Robbie and reach for chunky ankle boots. For those who don't own a pair, keep scrolling to shop the best styles.
