Karlie Kloss Wore Skinny Jeans and Flats to the Airport in the Most 2019 Way
As of early this week, fashion month has officially wrapped up. While we won't be seeing dramatic street style moments for another six months' time, we are graced with a brief but lovely wave of airport outfit inspiration from all the celebrities traveling back to their respective homes (or off to another job) since the last models exited the PFW runways.
Most notable is the glorious Karlie Kloss airport outfit we're directing your attention to today. Fresh off a plane from Paris, the model touched down at JFK wearing a combination of skinny jeans and ballet flats that feels completely fresh given how tried and true the forever pieces are. The secret outfit ingredient? Kloss's leather trench coat, which she threw on over a black turtleneck, charcoal-washed jeans, and black ballet flats. The leather coat has been quickly gaining steam as a key 2019 trend. We've already spotted the style on the likes of Anna Wintour, Gigi Hadid, and Kaia Gerber (a fashion industry trifecta if we've seen one).
If you wear skinny jeans on the reg or needed a fresh way to wear classic ballet flats again, look no further than Kloss's sleek outerwear and styling idea. Scroll down to see her look and then shop the leather coat trend for yourself.
Next, the two pieces you need to dress up skinny jeans, according to Meghan Markle.
