I don't know about you, but I'm definitely dreaming of jetting off somewhere hot at the moment. Surely January's almost over by now? It already feels like it's been weeks!

Cue Nicole Kidman to get me searching for flights. She was pictured jetting out of Sydney with her daughters, and her airport outfit alone is enough to make me want to go on holiday. We rarely see her so casual, but how chic does she look?

Never one to do things by halves, she swapped loungewear and leggings for a full outfit from the Chanel Pre-Spring 2026 collection. Talk about travelling in style! She paired some ecru-coloured flared trousers with a black logo print top and a leather bomber jacket. Her natural curls completed the look (and transported me back to the 1990s), plus her retro slim silhouette trainers perfectly tap into the trainer trends 2026.

Square-Toe Lace-Up Satin Sneakerina

These sneakerinas (part sneaker, part ballerina flats) are a celebrity favourite, and our Fashion Editor Rivkie Baum loves them too. She says: "The slim aesthetic of the shoe adds a polish that I feel my trainers often lack." The back is elasticated to help prevent blisters, plus they come with a choice of fabric or tulle laces.

M&S

Pure Cotton Belted Straight Leg Trousers

These trousers are available in four length options, as well as five different colours. They're effortlessly stylish, and the great thing about this neutral colour is that they'll work with all of the fashion colour trends 2026, from fire engine red to baby pink.

Leather Bomber Jacket

Leather jackets are well and truly back, but this time the shape to try is the bomber jacket. It's an investment piece, but this one is made from super soft chrome-free leather and you'll want to wear it on repeat all year.

Calvin Klein Jeans

Label Tank Top

What I love about Nicole's outfit is its simplicity. No prints, no bright colours, just understated elegance. The only way you'd know it was Chanel is by spotting those little double C logos! This Calvin Klein top will do the trick if you're keen to copy.

Lauren Ralph Lauren

Stretch Cotton Flare Leg Chinos

Chinos are a great option when flying. Jeans can be too rigid, but sometimes leggings can feel too much like you've just come from the gym. These trousers are the perfect mix of polished and comfortable.

& Other Stories

Suede-Detail Trainers

Look out for these slim silhouettes if you're shopping for trainers this season. They really are everywhere, and are an antidote to the chunky 90s styles that have been kicking around for a while.

Nicole's logo top, cream trousers and white trainers are an effortless combination that you might even be able to recreate with pieces you already have in your winter capsule wardrobe.

The leather bomber jacket really elevates it, but you could always swap in a suede jacket or even a blazer if you'd prefer. It's certainly a masterclass in styling classic pieces, and the really clever thing is that all of these basics would work well when you arrive at your destination, too.
