However, when living out of a suitcase for any period of time, it can be a challenge to keep your clothing items looking fresh and crease-free (especially without the aid of a wrinkle-release spray, portable steamer, or iron). Whether you're hopping off a long-haul flight or heading out of your hotel for a day of sightseeing, wrinkle-free travel pants make it easy to look polished without sacrificing comfort.
Some people are firmly in the "comfort at all costs" camp, swearing by sweats, joggers or anything with an elastic waistband. Others insist that showing up to the airport in anything less than jeans (or what we like to call "hard pants") is completely unacceptable. The truth? It truly comes down to preference. Personally, I've never subscribed to the idea of "travel pants" or any other garment designed specifically for globetrotting. (All pants are travel pants if you wear them on a trip, amirite?)
