Margot Robbie Perfected Airport Style In Drawstring Jeans and Suede Shoes

Any frequent flyer will attest: when it comes to international travel, some clothing items are far better suited for the journey than others. Breezy dresses easily outshine restrictive pencil skirts, and slip-on flats are a no-brainer when compared to strappy heels. Yet, amid the usual packing wisdom, one item continues to divide opinion: jeans.

For some, denim feels too structured and stiff for a long-haul flight; for others, it’s a comfortable staple, no less practical than their favourite loungewear—but I think I’ve just found the one denim piece that could unite both camps: drawstring jeans.

Spotted at the airport on Margot Robbie this denim trend falls between the waist and hips—an essential detail if you plan to sit comfortably for hours—and features an adjustable drawstring waistband, allowing you to tailor the fit to your liking. Designed with a wide-leg cut that skims, rather than clings to, the leg, they offer the relaxed comfort of joggers with the put-together look of classic denim.

Perfecting the art of airport style, Robbie completed her look with a striped knit, a baseball cap and a pair of flat suede mules—the soft texture of which added an elevated feel to her in-flight look.
