The Specific '90s Cindy Crawford Airport Outfits I Still See on the World's Chicest Passengers

Dressing for the airport is a problem . There's a reason Who What Wearhas an entire section dedicated to chic air travel. But for Cindy Crawford? It hasn't been tricky for her, historically. And I'm not in the least surprised by this. In particular, the supermodel's '90s airport style was simple, elegant, comfy, and—importantly—totally translatable to 2026 fashion, with frankly zero tweaks needed.

Though there was some variation to this rule, jeans in every wash imaginable were the legendary model's typical calling card at the airport. Admittedly, that's a bold move for sitting in a tight space for hours, but as long as you pick a pair with a little stretch in it, it's also absolutely workable, and obviously chicer than your beloved leggings. Based on five specific outfits Crawford wore to the airport in the '90s, I've put together a shopping list for your next trip that should make you feel like a model off-duty on your way to, like, Mauritius or Gstaad, or wherever it is that models hang out.

The key to making an all-black outfit not feel boring is to play with texture, a principle Cindy Crawford knows well. All it takes is a silk black shirt, a crisp black jean and a velvet or pony black shoe. So simple yet so smart.

This is a fantastic outfit, and not just because of Crawford's megawatt smile. All the cool girls know that a well-chosen pair of dark sunglasses chic-ifies any look at the airport and beyond. Not that this almost-all-black outfit with light-wash jeans needed any help to begin with.

I don't know why this outfit reminds me of J.Lo, but it does. A contrast sweater wrapped around your shoulders is always the easiest way to make an impact with your fashion without even trying, and white jeans look great year-round, no matter what the naysayers tell you.
