Spotted in the Paris Airport: The Coolest Sneaker Trend to Wear With Leggings RN

If you need fashion inspiration, I recommend looking at photos of models at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Understandably, models are usually some of the best-dressed at whatever airport numerous models need to fly in and out of at any given time, even when dressed down (as most of us are for multihour flights).
One of my favorite looks I've seen at CDG in Paris was on Barbara Palvin, who was dressed simply in an oversize black sweatshirt and black leggings. On her feet was the shoe trend that I find looks best with leggings: chunky '90s-style sneakers. Last year, I actually reported that everyone in Paris was wearing chunky sneakers. (Side note: I'm also seeing a lot of chunky sneakers with metallic details like Palvin's, so bonus points if that's what you choose to wear with your leggings.)
Keep scrolling to see Palvin's chill Paris airport outfit and shop similar sneakers for your own collection.
