Fashion People Rarely Travel in Leggings, But This Elegant Alt is Just as Comfortable
If you’ve got any travel plans in the diary over the next few months, listen up: I’ve found the trouser trend that delivers the comfort of leggings and the polish of your favourite tailored pair, all rolled into one. If you'll be navigating airport security, enduring a long-haul flight, or heading straight from plane to pavement, these promise to make your journey significantly chicer.
Delivering my inspiration, Laura Harrier departed Venice Film Festival, wearing a pair of deep black pull-on trousers. Arguably chicer than the leggings we've all grown accustomed to travelling in, Harrier reminded me that travel attire can still feel polished.
Featuring a simple silhouette, a comfortable elasticated waistband and a fluid pull-on design, Harrier's trousers gave her stride a graceful swish that felt more elegant than clingy leggings and much more viable than stiff denim in this setting.
Keeping the overall look grounded in practicality, the actor paired her floor-grazing trousers with sleek black trainers, a fresh white tee and a minimalist black trench coat. Her accessories—a bandana tied over her hair and dark sunglasses—added a polished finish that has fashion people nodding in approval.
Consider this your cue to consider a pair of pull-on trousers next time you take flight. Read on to discover my edit of the chicest pairs to shop now.
