Channel your inner bad gyal with these rolled cuff sweat pants and a cropped tee from Savage X. Or, style with the cropped top and matching hoodie.

Pros

Kudos to all of ya’ll who actually travel in jeans! I absolutely refuse. If you need a nice change, these stretchy, utility pants (that come in fun colors) is an ideal option.
Rave Review: “I’m back to order my second pair—that’s how much I like them. The quality of the fabric is nice….It’s not a thin cotton but it’s not too thick either. I love that the fit is not too snug nor too baggy on me.”

Heading to work after your trip? Then this amazingly-soft, best-fitting, straight-leg pant with almost 30k positive reviews is your most comfortable bet. Safe to say, it’s HR (and TSA lol, jk) approved!
Rave Review: “I love these pants because 1) they come in extended sizes 2) they are comfortable and 3) they are affordable. My job requires me to be in offices and dress professionally, which many people know can be uncomfortable (sitting in a suit all day). These pants seem to fly under the radar. I’m 4’11” 135 lbs and the medium extra petite hit right below the ankle. I have the navy, black, and charcoal. Will buy more!”

Obviously, you need a ‘fit that looks like it’s a pajama set but it really isn’t! Ofc, if you wanna avoid the pajama look, dress this silky soft flared pants up with some boots or switch out the matching top for a tee.
Rave Review: “This pant is a dream. It is not only how soft it feels; it is also elegant and cool. A pant for any occasion, from lounging to going out on a date. There is a sexiness to it. I would love to have it in different colors.”

Rave Review: “I wear these pants all the time. Comfortable. Love the pockets. I’m able to wear layers under them when it’s chilly. It’s easy to pack, too. I was worried the pants would be too warm when it’s hot outside but I was pretty comfortable. Plus, the pockets are sturdy (I love how they hang)! They are my go to pants for travel.”

Where ya going? Bet you this popular pair from Lululemon will be a must-have for you, no matter the destination.
Rave Review: “Please do as many colors as humanly possible in this pant. I have tried bazillions of Lulu pants and was never really in love with any of them, however I would marry these lol!! BTW, I’m 5’6, 125lbs and I got size 6. This pair fits like a glove and is so comfy. It’s light weight and great to wear in the heat of summer. The wide leg drape and flow really nicely too! I want more colors. Worth every penny.”

For perfectly draped pants that are easy, breezy, and oh so beautiful, get the popular Farah pant.
Rave Review: “I am in love with these pants. I bought two pairs—one white and one black—to wear on my honeymoon in Portugal and I honestly wish I had gotten the other two colors as well. They are light and airy but also fully opaque thanks to the lining. The silhouette is structured in the waist but loose elsewhere, which is ideal for curves. Highly recommend.”

Cons

Though I’m not one to wear jeans on a flight, I could make an exception for this best-selling pair. Apparently, these are so dreamy and snug—all you have to do is pull ’em on and you’re good to go. Easy!
Rave Review: “These jeans are so comfortable you could sleep in them and it makes my butt look sooooooo amazing! I was torn on which size to get because I’m a 4 or a 6 depending on the cut at GA. I’m 5’ 7” 153lbs and I got the Size M / tag says 2. They are so stretchy and easy to get on and move around in. Don’t pull up by the loops and you’ll be okay but definitely purchase these. You’ll be wanting more as I do.”

Say hello to the most heavenly pants on earth. Oh, and here’s the half-zip pullover (I know you were gonna go searching for it so, YW!) I have the jumpsuit from the AirEssentials collection and love wearing it whenever I’m out and about!
Rave Review: “I love the feel of this fabric. It is so soft. I wore this traveling through warm and cold weather with a tank underneath and it was comfortable all around. Washes well. The only down side is that I noticed it pilling after several wears. P.S. Tall length pants were way too long for 5”8”.
