Getting off the plane en route to Fashion Week might just be the ultimate preshow experience. Come show season, plebeian spots like JFK and Charles de Gaulle become microcosms full of models, Hollywood personalities, and editors in looks that are nap-ready yet obviously super chic.
Take model Jasmine Sanders, who was spotted wearing a blue sweat suit and a pair of slip-on sandals—talk about a surefire way to roll seamlessly through security—or maybe Bella Hadid with her toasty gray sweater and easy-to-carry duffle bag. Trying to make your time on a moving walkway a little brighter? Heidi Klum power-clashed in a leopard-print jacket and some funky patterned pants, a true mood enhancer if there ever was one. In other words, the key to the perfect airport look comes down to being cozy and letting your personality come out to play.
Here, five lessons to take from the off-duty stars who did it right this season.
A good hands-free bag is as essential as the passport inside it.
