Lupita Nyong’o shows us airport attire does not have to be oversized and frumpy, but simple and chic. When traveling it should be about comfort, however, being comfortable does not mean sweats. To mimic Nyong’o it all starts with the basics. A great fitting white tee (or 4) is an essential in everyone’s closet. This Splendid tee is one that can be used in numerous other outfits for months to come. Paired with these DL 1961 leggings they make a perfect pair. The black skinny fit leggings look like a pair of skinny jeans except you are not constrained with denim material. Throwing on a blazer or a great jacket is an easy way to take basics and make them a more complete outfit. This grey pinstrip blazer by rag & bone is perfect because it’s made of light material. Nyong’o went with black booties, this black suede pair by Jimmy Choo has a heel that’s not too high or too low – making them an easy choice to get from one side of the airport to the other. We love the pop of color in her choice of bag. This red leather Alexander Wang bag can be worn on the shoulder like hers or as a crossbody when you need to have hands free. Throw on a pair of oversized Wayfarer sunglasses and a Michael Kors silver watch and you are now traveling in celebrity style.
