If I’m lucky, I only need one or two more trips to get Delta Diamond Medallion status for 2027, which is the easiest way to tell you that I fly a lot. In fact, I’m flying in just a few days, though this flight isn’t particularly grueling. Even if it were, I’ve gotten traveling down to a science, especially airport dressing. About 99% of the time, I wear a version of the same uniform, which always includes a pair of elastic-waist lounge pants. My favorite pair is the Nando Lounge Pants from the basics brand Leset, which is beloved by Jennifer Lawrence and Meghan Markle. Olivia Rodrigo, another frequent flyer with a tendency to wear elastic-waist lounge pants to the airport, prefers a different, albeit similar style: Brandy Melville’s Keira Pants. While hers are sold out, my near-identical pants are readily available and an order away from making your next flight the comfiest one yet.

With her white elastic-waistband lounge pants, Rodrigo wore a matching graphic tee, a navy-blue sweater tied around her waist, and a pair of Ugg platform Tazzlita Mules in Chestnut. She finished off the outfit with a baseball cap and a Damson Madder plaid tote. Those accessories made the outfit interesting, but at the end of the day, comfort is always priority number one, and her simple, soft bottoms more than provided that during her long trip from Iceland to New York.
