And, while I love the warm-weather comfort of joggers and capri pants, I hate having cold ankles on airplanes and cool morning walks, and I don\u2019t like revealing my compression socks (which I sometimes wear on long flights). I\u2019m also too self-conscious to wear skin-hugging tights; I like a little bagginess. What I want are sweatpants that don\u2019t look or perform like traditional sweatpants\u2014\u201cfancy sweats,\u201d if you will.<\/p>\n<p>Fancy sweats are versatile travel pants that keep me comfortable on a redeye, breathe well, and move with me\u2014whether I\u2019m on a mellow hike, touring a museum, or sneaking in a quick yoga session in a hotel room. Travel pants that look chic, don\u2019t wrinkle (even after being rolled up in a carry-on), and dry quickly earn bonus points in my book.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my current favorite fancy sweats for active travel.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<section id=\"\" class=\"content-card rounded-xl px-base-loose pt-base-loose pb-loose shadow-sm shadow-black\/10\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_2740542\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\" Vuori Halo Essential Wideleg pants for travel\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1350\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2740542\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vouri-Halo-Essential-Wideleg_h.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover 1x\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Vouri-Halo-Essential-Wideleg_h.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\">(Photo: Courtesy REI)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Vuori Halo Essential Wideleg<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><\/section>\n<p>These women\u2019s travel pants use the same insanely soft polyester\/elastane fabric as my beloved <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-brand-primary underline hover:text-brand-primary\/85 break-words overflow-wrap-anywhere underline-offset-[3px]\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-afl-p=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=33371&amp;awinaffid=1152355&amp;campaign=&amp;clickref=&amp;clickref2=&amp;clickref3=&amp;clickref4=&amp;clickref5=&amp;clickref6=&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fvuoriclothing.com%2Fproducts%2Fwomens-performance-jogger-midnight-heather&amp;platform=pl\">Vuori Performance Joggers<\/a> .

They\u2019re made from a lightweight, classy-looking linen\/viscose blend, but they\u2019re as comfortable as sweatpants. A thick drawcord at the gathered waistband adds style, as do the four pockets, two on the back and two at the sides. While I find these travel pants ideal for walks on the beach, they can handle traveling through airports and fit in when dining out. They\u2019re not stretchy like the others in this roundup, and they will wrinkle\u2014but that\u2019s the benefit of linen: wrinkles are part of the look. The best part? They\u2019re under fifty dollars.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<section id=\"\" class=\"content-card rounded-xl px-base-loose pt-base-loose pb-loose shadow-sm shadow-black\/10\">\n<h2><b>Beyond Yoga Elasticized Wide Leg Pant 31\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2740546\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Beyond Yoga Elasticized Wide Leg Pant 31\u201d for travel\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1350\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2740546\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Beyond-Yoga-Wide-Leg-Pant-31_h.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover 1x\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Beyond-Yoga-Wide-Leg-Pant-31_h.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\">(Photo: Courtesy Beyond Yoga)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!-- --><\/section>\n<p>These lightweight, flowy pants look like trousers you could wear to work or out to dinner, with simple pleats, a sewn-in (just for looks) fly on the front, and two side pockets.
