Leggings Are Out for 2026-10 Comfy Pants Stylish Travelers Are Wearing to the Airport Instead, From $25

"If your goal for 2026 is to level-up your travel day outfits while still prioritizing comfort, these jeans (yes, jeans!) should be at the top of your shopping list. While the wide-leg, high-waisted fit looks flattering and relaxed, these stretchy pants boast an adjustable drawstring waistband that won't dig into your skin-even if you'll be seated for an extended period of time."

"To the untrained eye, these slacks may look like simple trousers, but they're actually a comfortable pair of travel pants in disguise. The waistband of the wide-leg trousers is fitted with elastic for a stretchy, forgiving fit, and they're even designed with two deep side pockets that'll hold your phone in a pinch. The real beauty of these pants is that they're easy to dress up or down, ensuring they'll be a versatile addition to your wardrobe-and far more stylish than leggings."

Comfortable, non‑form‑fitting pants are replacing leggings as the travel staple for 2026. Wide‑leg, high‑waisted stretchy jeans deliver a relaxed, flattering silhouette with an adjustable drawstring waistband and forgiving, flexible fabric that accommodates long periods of sitting. Elastic‑waist wide‑leg trousers offer a tailored appearance with deep side pockets and easy dress‑up or dress‑down potential. Fleece‑lined sweatpants and matching lounge sets provide insulated, cozy options for winter travel. Curated picks span brands like Vuori, Spanx, and Amazon, with versatile travel pants and marked‑down options starting at $25.
