I've seen the case made for floaty skirts and I've watched crowds file through security in baggy jeans, but when it comes to airport dressing, I stand firmly in favour of leggings. They’re comfortable, low-maintenance and—especially when styled in this elegant autumnal shade—they suddenly feel so elevated.
Spotted navigating the terminal, Lindsay Lohan made my point this week, as I spotted the actor swap classic black leggings for a deep navy pair, styling them with a fresh white tee and a light, roomy shirt.
Navy might not be the obvious choice, but that’s exactly what makes them feel so fresh. Just as versatile as black, navy lends more depth and dimension to off-duty outfits, particularly when paired with coordinating tones. Lohan’s striped shirt, woven with royal blue, echoed the leggings’ hue, creating a sense of cohesion that black leggings couldn't have achieved.
Finishing off her look, Lohan reached for a pair of white trainers—arguably the smartest footwear decision for a day of gate-hopping. Together, the look hit all of my airport-style benchmarks: comfortable, easy and elevated.
With navy set to become a defining colour trend of the new season, I'll be following Lohan's lead right now. If you will, too, scroll on to discover my edit of the best navy leggings to shop now.
