Amal Clooney and her husband George were in Milan for the beginning of the Winter Olympics over the weekend. And whilst she wore a dazzling strapless black gown to attend a gala hosted by watch brand Omega, it was the outfit she wore to travel home that piqued my interest.

When flying, I tend to steer clear of jeans, but this look is making me question my trusty joggers and leggings. Amal looked impeccably chic, pairing some very light wash flares with a navy knit and a black pea coat. She added this beautiful Chloe bag, as well as her signature oversized sunglasses and drop earrings.

Exact match

Chloe

Medium Leather Camera Bag

Pockets and buckles galore are one of the key spring/summer handbag trends 2026, so this super luxe design fits the bill perfectly. There's a top handle and a shoulder strap - ideal for carrying all your in-flight essentials à la Amal.

H&M

Flared High Jeans

I really rate H&M denim, and for just under £20, this is an easy and affordable way to dip your toe into the flared trend. They're available in a whole host of colours from this light blue to washed grey, and in UK sizes 4 to 22.

Zara

Extra Fine Wool and Silk Top

Forget any rules you've ever heard about not wearing navy with black - it's actually incredibly chic. Consider navy a neutral. This is one of those basics that might not excite you, but will work seriously hard in your spring capsule wardrobe.

Friends Like These

Black Mid Length Double Breasted Peacoat

This isn't the first time I've spotted Amal wearing a pea coat in recent months, and they're a great choice as we head towards the new season. Anyone else bored with wearing a puffer coat on repeat?

Levi's

Ribcage Bell Jeans in Sits Well Together

You'll never go too far wrong with a classic pair of Levi's. I have a straight leg pair of Ribcage jeans, and can't wait to try the flared version. One reviewer wrote, "These fit amazingly. There is the slightest bit of stretch to them so the 29 was perfect. I have other pairs of Levi’s with no stretch and need a 30 sometimes."

Superdry

Double Breasted Wool Rich Peacoat

A shorter coat will balance out a pair of flared denim beautifully. A longer winter coat can fall just where your jeans start to flare, plus when you've found a great pair of jeans, the last thing you want to do is cover them up, right?

The beauty of investing in a great pair of jeans is that it instantly refreshes your wardrobe. With the trending denim as the star of the show, the rest of your outfit can be simple and understated.

If you're hoping to travel in denim, finding the most comfortable jeans is key. Flares are a really flattering choice, particularly if you style them with a small heel like Amal has done. They instantly make your legs look longer, and they feel a lot softer than styles like the stovepipe or barrel leg jeans.
