These Celeb-Approved Zara Leggings Are Perfect for the Airport

First and foremost, here's what we love about the current crop of leggings at Zara (aside from their affordability): Most of them don't look like leggings. And if you're trying to get away with wearing leggings as pants, that's a good thing.
One pair, in particular, that we've had our eye on since they arrived in stock earlier this fall are Zara's ultra-flattering Checked High Waist Leggings ($70), which feature ankle slits and a button-front waist. Those details, combined with the chic (and on-trend) check pattern, make them airport-worthy if it's a polished look you're going for.
Victoria's Secret Angel (and obvious fashion girl) Romee Strijd clearly got that memo, as she just wore the leggings in question at LAX. To complete her cool airport look, Strijd paired them with a furry cropped jacket, patent leather ankle boots, and a leather baker boy hat. Since holiday travel season is upon us, you'll probably want to add them to your cart while you can. (FYI: They come in black too.)
