Prior to being (recently) introduced to the best travel trousers for women, airport outfits have always been a bit of a struggle for me. I usually never know whether to go full-comfort in a matching loungewear set, or to sit in my best jeans and risk them potentially digging in during a long-haul flight.
But let’s face it: Comfort is key, and women’s trousers for travelling are the solution.
Women’s trousers for travelling FAQs, answered:
Elle Fanning, Kendall Jenner, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas and Jennie Kim from BLACKPINK would agree, too. They’ve all been spotted at the airport looking strikingly put-together for someone who’s just flown internationally – and I’m putting it down to their trews.
What is the best material for travel pants?
This part is crucial: Jersey. The stretchier the better. And, don’t worry, there are plenty of jersey trousers that act like joggers in terms of feel, but look like your favourite wide-leg trousers in appearance. Take Uniqlo’s jersey barrel leg trousers, for example; they look just like the best barrel leg jeans until you try them on and realise they’re made with elastomultiester – a fabric known for its elasticity.
And for something even smarter? lululemon’s Daydrift high-rise trousers. Available in five work/travel-appropriate hues, they feature an internal drawstring where you’d instead expect a button and zipper. So clever, and so comfy.
Whether you’re jetting off to Mallorca with your girlfriends, road-tripping to one of the best hotels in the UK for a long weekend, or catching an overnight flight to a far-flung honeymoon destination with your other half, you’ll likely want to look somewhat put-together when you get there. If getting changed in a claustrophobic plane toilet before landing isn’t your bag, then travel trousers will be.
