When it comes to jet-setting in style, cozy is key — and that’s especially true when you’re looking for the best pants for traveling. Gone are the days of skinny jeans and other circulation-cutting bottoms — at least for now. Until jeggings come back around (let’s hope it’s more than a few trend cycles away), we’re enjoying the extra leg room that loose and comfortable bottoms have to offer, especially for travel.

Whether you’re planning a road trip or hopping on a plane, we’ve rounded up the best pants to wear while weaving through terminals or driving long stretches. From slacks and sweats to cargos and everything in between, some of our travel-friendly favorites include Frankie Shop (seen on J Lo), Ugg’s Selena Gomez-loved silhouette (yes, they also make pants!), and Hailey Bieber‘s Wardrobe.NYC collaboration.

1. Aviator Nation Bolt Sweatpants

First up, we present to you the quintessential airport bottom: sweatpants. Actress Hayden Panettiere was recently spotted at the airport wearing these exact Aviator Nation Bolt sweats that are mostly sold out, but this similar option from the laid-back brand will also suffice. They feature an internal drawstring tie closure, cinched cuffs and a trendy lightning bolt print.

5. Ugg Terri Cozy Knit Wide Leg Pants

Selena Gomez was recently photographed at the airport in these cozy Ugg wide-leg pants. Available in cream or grey, this pull-on style features an elasticized waistband, a soft terry fabric, and a wide-leg silhouette. Wear these on travel days or while lounging around at your final destination.

6. Beyond Yoga All Day Flare High-Waisted Pant

Think disco pant, but minus the metallics and made for everyday wear. Beyond Yoga’s throwback-inspired flared leggings are a unique athleisure option, allowing you to race through your day with ease — all while feeling a little more dressed up than your typical workout gear.

7. Onirike Parachute Pants

Gen Z revived this iconic ’90s pant, first made popular by R&B legend Aaliyah. Given that this trend shows no signs of slowing down, dip your toe into the style with these affordable Onirike parachute pants, made of non-stretch, breathable, lightweight fabric.

8. Allbirds R&R Sweatpant

Allbirds’ ridiculously comfortable R&R sweats live up to their name, thanks to the cozy (and eco-minded) blend of organic pima cotton, hemp and Tencel. They feature a slim fit and tapered leg, so they’re ideal for travelers who prefer a comfy, structured look.

9. Wardrobe.NYC x Hailey Bieber Wide-Leg Track Sweatpants

Given that Hailey Bieber is the style star of the moment, it makes complete sense that she would collaborate with a brand to produce a pant that’s perfect for her zillions of street-style photoshoots. She was recently seen in these sweatpants that she designed with luxury essentials label Wardrobe.NYC, which feature a sweeping wide-leg silhouette and convertible zip ankle cuffs.

10. The Row Gala Wide-Leg Wool Pants

Last but never least is an investment piece by a luxury brand recently spotted on Jennifer Lawrence. While she wore the sold-out The Row Caleti Pants, these Gala Pants are just as elegant while still offering travel-friendly touches like a pull-on, elasticized waistband.
