If You Wear This Jeans-and-Flat-Shoe Combination While Traveling, I'll Know You Have Cool Style
Traveling can be stressful or easy—depending on who you ask. Between packing lists and last-minute errands, just making it to the airport on time can feel like a feat. During a recent trip from Paris to London via the Eurostar train, Miley Cyrus stepped out in an effortlessly cool outfit that I haven’t stopped thinking about. It was understated but spoke volumes about her travel style. In my opinion, the combo of relaxed, cuffed jeans and black Margiela Tabi flats (every fashion person’s favorite quirky shoe style) made for the perfect travel look.
Cyrus’s green trench coat was a smart layering choice for London’s rainy, cool weather, and her Maison Margiela handbag added a touch of elegance. When I’m on the move, I usually default to a sweatsuit, but I’ve been trying to move away from that travel uniform, especially if I need to be somewhere right after landing. I think a lot of us are over the sweatsuit phase, and this outfit is a chic, fuss-free alternative. If you're searching for a stylish travel look, keep scrolling.
