If you're anything like me, finding an airport outfit is a struggle. With comfort, climate, and of course, style to consider, finding the perfect combination can be a challenge. But fear not, we are taking inspiration from the iconic model Cindy Crawford, whose 90s airport outfit is still something to rave about.
Back in the 90s, when airport style was something of a catwalk (it still is to me), Cindy Crawford was captured at LAX airport wearing a chic ensemble that epitomised her status as a style icon. And I’ll be taking notes from her on the best jeans for your body type, especially since wearing jeans to travel in means you can wear them during your holiday and save space on packing. Hurrah!
Cindy's 90s airport look featured belted denim jeans, which were paired with a black polo-neck jumper and statement leather jacket, accessorised with leather boots, and a striped duffel bag. It's a timeless look which is especially relevant with the denim trends of 2024. And I already know what you're thinking - you’d never wear denim to the airport? Think again, because we’ve found the perfect pair of comfortable jeans which will keep you looking fresh and chic - even in long airport queues.

We're here to change your mind about wearing denim to travel in. M&S has the perfect pair of Slim Fit Jeans with added stretch that are ideal for replicating Crawford’s 90s look.
The 90s are well and truly back, but Cindy's is a classic airport look that you'll turn to for years to come. Here's what we'll be wearing with the must-have M&S jeans.
