The Best Women’s Pants for Travel

Traveling in stiff denim isn’t for everyone anyone. These 70s-inspired, 100-percent cotton jeans are made from GAP's premium 1969 denim, and feature retro flair that's perfect for travel: wide legs and a high waist.

Habitual's shape-shifting pants transform from wide-leg jeans to denim joggers in a snap, thanks to a cool ankle cinch. Perfect for jetsetters who like to keep their outfit options open.

These may just be the best fashion sweats money can buy. Lou & Grey's super-wide-leg, pajama-like pants are made with a thick version of their Signaturesoft fabric, whose texture the company describes expensive cashmere combined with a favorite sweatshirt.

Stop everything: UNIQLO’s much-loved HEATTECH material is now available in velvet. Squee! With an inner fleece lining and a middle layer of wind-blocking fabric, this unassuming wonder item will keep you cozy wherever your travels may take you.

Adidas’ iconic striped leggings feature cotton-and-Spandex fabric, a stretchy waist, and a slim cut that's flattering and breathable, not uncomfortably tight.

Who knew high fashion could be comfortable? Cheerful color-blocking and a wool-cashmere knit come together for a look that can transition straight from on-board to a meeting with the board.

If starting your day with yoga in Palm Springs and ending it with a scoop of Salt & Straw in Venice Beach sounds like your perfect day, then these Johnny Was custom embroidery leggings may be your perfect pants. With a unique twist on the classic black leggings look, these pants are finished off with beautiful flower blooms, hitting right above the ankle.

The elasticized waistband, drawstring ties, and easy cut through the hip and thigh spell comfort, even if you're wedged in a middle Economy seat. The twill fabric makes this pair look slightly more spendy than they actually are.

For travel pants that double as a conversation piece, look no further than Tanya Taylor's cropped pants in a fun check print. Zip pockets and ankle ruching are fun details, while a banded waistline and stretchy elastane keep things supremely comfortable. With these, you're ready to go straight from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport to the ultra-cool Marais—no quick changes necessary!

The words “utility pants” might cause cringe-y flashbacks of your brother’s Costco cargo shorts from the early aughts. But utility pants as imagined by CAARA are as fashion-forward as Prada’s take on Tevas. Their effortless pull-on styling couldn’t be more comfortable—though customers say they run a little small, so size up to be safe.

Heading straight from the plane to a party? No more awkward airport-bathroom costume changes. These super-relaxed velvet joggers can be easily dressed up without losing an ounce of cuddliness. Patch pockets in the front and back and an elastic drawstring waist add function and detail.
