It's Controversial (I Know), But Frequent Fashion Flyers Swear By This Jeans Outfit for Long Flights

While some travelers are sticking to leggings and sweaters for comfort, a new wave of frequent fashion flyers is walking through the airport in elegant denim outfits. One popular look features black jeans—specifically straight or slightly barrel-legged—paired with croc-embossed kitten-heeled ankle boots. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one style icon who has been spotted in this outfit.
Last week, the model and entrepreneur was seen arriving back at the London Airport from Paris Fashion Week. For the occasion, she wore a black turtleneck and a long black leather jacket from The Row, styled with black jeans courtesy of Phoebe Philo, croc-embossed kitten-heeled ankle boots from Khaite, and The Row's iconic Margaux bag. As always, she finished off the look with oversize sunglasses.
On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Phoebe Philo Classic Jeans ($1250); The Row coat; Rat Boa Ezra Snood ($245); Khaite boots; Hermès Leather Clochette ($940)
Jeans and heeled boots at the airport may be controversial, but think about it: If you're going to buy an overpriced water bottle and carry luxurious luggage, you'll want an expensive-looking outfit to match the vibe. That's where black jeans and croc-embossed boots come in. These two pieces alone exude a rich appearance, and when styled together, they create an outfit that looks like you hired a stylist.
So take a note from Huntington-Whiteley and wear this denim outfit to the airport, or at least to the office or brunch with friends, please. That said, keep scrolling to shop the pieces needed to re-create her look.
