Elizabeth Olsen Just Wore the Only Boot Style That’s Actually Sensible For the Airport

As all frequent flyers will know, there is a hierarchy of airport attire. Sitting at the top is cosy, comfortable knitwear and sitting at the bottom is stiff and tight denim. On the footwear spectrum the same thing goes, some shoes are infinitely better than others. Whilst some celebrities opt for the least practical airport shoes imaginable—I’m looking at you and your leggings/heels hybrids, Victoria Beckham, others take an equally stylish but far more appropriate approach to in-flight style.

Falling into the latter camp, actor Elizabeth Olsen arrived at JFK airport yesterday styling simple, yet perfect pull-on ankle boots.

As almost every trip through security for myself has involved the removal of my shoes to pass through the body scanner, this is a topic that I feel very passionate about. In my years of flying I’ve learnt that pull on ankle boot are the best for the job. Easy to slip on and off with no fiddly buckles, zips or laces to slow you down, this practical boot trend usurps strappy sandals, heels, mary janes and trainers in my opinion.

The perfect boot for pairing with a fuzzy cashmere socks, you also won’t be forced for step through the airport bare-foot when you inevitably have to remove your boots.

Pairing her chunky shoes with straight leg jeans and a light brown blazer, Olsen accessorised with simple black sunglasses and a large weekender bag. With a lug sole detail, Olsen’s chunky boots were also enough to protect her from the puddle adorned pavements that are everywhere this time of year.

Simple, polished and comfortable enough to withstand hours of flying, I dare say that Olsen has perfect the art of airport style. Read on to shop her style here, as well as discover our favourite pull on boots below.
