’Tis the season for holiday travel, and there is no shortage of celebrity airport outfits crossing our radar. Whether they suit up like Cate Blanchett or keep it more casual in leggings like Bella Hadid, every star has an airport outfit formula that fits their travel needs. One ingredient for travel-day attire is guaranteed to land anyone on the best dressed passenger list: a timeless trench coat.
Recently worn by celebs like Cindy Crawford and Angelina Jolie at JFK in NYC and Jeon Yeo-Bin at Incheon International Airport near Seoul, a camel trench coat does wonders for elevating a travel-day look while still maintaining the comfort and style required for a soft landing. Plus, it goes with literally everything, from jeans and leggings to skirts and suits.
As we prepare to pack our carry-ons for the holiday sojourn, don't forget to include this wardrobe staple on your travel-day checklist. For style inspiration, check out a few looks below, then keep scrolling for 11 jet-setting trench coats to take on your next flight.
