Charli XCX Wore Knee-High Boots to the Airport—Now I Might Too |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

published 27 February 2025

Whenever I’m headed to the airport, my outfit planning revolves around two key factors: comfort and convenience. Navigating fluctuating temperatures and security checkpoints means prioritising cosy, easy-to-remove pieces. Lightweight layers are ideal, and when it comes to footwear, slip-on styles have proven to be my ultimate travel companions.

Having perfected my airport ensemble over time, I can instantly spot an outfit that’s well-suited for travel—and one that might pose a few challenges along the way. This week, my radar for the latter went off when I spotted Charli XCX’s latest airport look.

Dressed in an effortlessly chic all-black ensemble, Charli’s outfit would have earned high praise in any other setting. She styled a layered skirt with a classic black T-shirt, a jumper draped over her shoulders and a generously sized handbag in tow. So far, so good. But it was her footwear choice that made me pause.

Instead of the slip-on styles I swear by for travel, Charli opted for knee-high black boots—elegant and elongating, yes, but undeniably impractical for security checks. No matter how stylish, knee-high boots are a faff to pull on and off, making them a questionable choice for a smooth airport experience.

However inconvenient her footwear choice might have been, one thing is for sure—she looked chic on arrival. While I wouldn't personally recommend wearing this shoe style for a flight, there are plenty of other instances where knee boots are absolutely the right choice.

On that note, scroll on to see my edit of the chicest knee-high boots on the market right now.
