J.Lo Has Been Wearing These 5 Basics to the Airport Since 1997
We all know Jennifer Lopez can pull off a red carpet statement dress like it's no one's business, but she's also adept in the wardrobe basics department. She may be known for fearlessly experimenting with trends, but when it comes to her airport style, her vibe is much more pared-back, but no less chic, of course.
I pored over vintage J.Lo photos in order to spot themes in her airport outfits, and I came away with five basics she has worn on repeat over the years. Beginning with her '90s outfits, I noticed that she loves wearing neutrals while traveling—specifically, white jeans paired with cream tops and turtlenecks and coats in rich camel colors. Scroll down to see Jennifer Lopez's favorite airport basics spanning three decades and shop 2019 versions for yourself.
White Jeans

Sweatpants
Everyone's go-to comfort item, sweatpants don't have to look shabby at the airport. Just emulate J.Lo and wear soft pastel colors from head to toe.
Black Trousers
Jennifer Lopez proved that the trousers you might reserve for the office are actually a polished but still flowy, easy-to-wear option for traveling.
Skinny Jeans
All hail skinny jeans. Is there anywhere you can't wear them? Jennifer Lopez thinks not.
Turtleneck and a Coat
Take note: Camel always looks impeccable paired with leopard. This '90s airport outfit can easily be re-created today.
