Best Comfy Travel Pants Under $50

Crz Yoga Butterlift Wide-leg Pants

A good pair of yoga pants is a travel essential, and these by Crz Yoga have a clean look that makes them appropriate for a range of activities. Reviewers rave about the silky Butterlift material, an alternative to the brand’s beloved Butterluxe fabric that offers more compression. “I’ve worn these pants on several long flights and they have easily become my new favorite pants to travel in,” one said. “I can’t say enough about how nice the soft, stretchy material is.”

Angerella Flowy Palazzo Pants

These “perfect summer pants” are loose and breezy, allowing customers’ legs to breathe even in 90-degree temperatures. The high elastic waist moves with you without cutting into your stomach, whether you’re seated for a long flight or needing some extra stretch for a night of wine and pasta. They are subtly pleated at the waist and super wide-legged for optimal flowiness. These palazzo pants come in 43 colors and patterns, including various florals and stripes.

Baleaf Lightweight Golf Pants

For a fitted look—and an inseam that doesn’t brush the germy floor when you go to the bathroom—a pair of cropped golf pants is a solid choice. These are a little sporty but can also be business-casual when needed. They’re stretchy (24 percent spandex) with a UPF rating of 50+ and two back anti-theft zipper pockets where you can keep your cards, keys, and travel documents. One reviewer called them “the most comfortable travel pants ever.”

Tronjori Pleated Wide-leg Trousers

What to pack for the activities on your itinerary that require a buttoned-up vibe? Whether it’s a work trip or you’re just generally a classy dresser, these trousers are so refined yet pajama-level comfy at the same time. The belt loops and pleats give them a polished, vintage aesthetic in the front, while the elastic waistline in the back prevents the feeling of constraint. One shopper who tested them out on a week-long trip in Italy said they “travel beautifully” and “appear more expensive than they are.”

Amazon Essentials Wide-leg Linen Pants

More than 3,000 people have rated these versatile Amazon Essentials pants five stars for comfort, even in hot weather. They’re 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton, which gives them a relaxed, drapey look and good breathability. The pants are slightly wide-legged with a 30-inch inseam to clear the floor. Travelers say they’re perfect for flying, sightseeing, lounging, and even hiking.

G Gradual High-waisted Joggers

Joggers are the model airport pants—as comfortable as PJs but a step up from sweats. “I would wear them every day,” a reviewer wrote about these G Gradual trackies. Some even went as far as to call them “classy.” They’re lightweight enough to comfortably work out in, but the material is thick enough not to see through. The pants have four pockets on the hips and back, including two with secure zippers.

Cider Palazzo Pants

Hailing from the brand that’s perpetually all over your Instagram, these Cider palazzo pants are lounge-worthy yet elegant enough to wear to the office. Aligning with baggy pants trends, the ultra-wide-leg cut looks great with a wide range of footwear, from your go-to white travel sneakers to the heels you want to pack but aren’t sure if you should. Reviewers call them chic, versatile, and an immediate wardrobe staple “for any woman on the go.” They don’t even wrinkle.

G4Free Wide-leg Yoga Pants

Racking up more than 3,000 five-star ratings in less than two years, these are some of the best-selling yoga pants at Amazon. Their popularity can be attributed to a combination of the cool crossover waist, butter-soft material, and on-trend barrel shape. Pros specific to travel include that they’re packable—i.e., lightweight and wrinkle-proof—comfortable, breathable, and can be worn over and over without losing their shape.

Xiaoxuemeng Baggy Wide-leg Pants

Fans of barrel jeans are the ideal demographic for these flowy travel bottoms, with a high elastic waist, deep patch pockets, and wrap-around tulip hem. “These are really fun,” wrote a reviewer who bought them to wear on chilly evenings during their summer beach vacation. Another said the pants were perfect for wearing “all over Europe.” They’re super comfy, courtesy of their 70-percent cotton composition, and so unique you can almost be certain you won’t be accidentally twinning with anyone else on your trip.

Duyang Cotton-linen Palazzo Pants

Duyang’s palazzo pants are what you think of when you envision palazzo pants. And even though they’re only $30, they’re quality-made with 70 percent cotton and 30 percent linen. People rate them highly after sporting them on long international flights, and some have said they’ve stayed in such great shape they went ahead and wore them out on the town afterward. One wrote that they prevented them from overheating while spending 10 hours in the sun.

Heymoments Tie-waist Trousers

Tuck your top into the subtle paperbag waistband of these tie-waist trousers and you’ll find out exactly how cute and polished a comfy lounge pant can be. They’re loose and drapey with an elastic waistband that lets you move freely in your plane seat and pull them on and off quickly in public restrooms—no buttons or zippers to slow you down. Reviewers confirm they do not wrinkle or lose their shape after being crumpled up in a suitcase.

Iximo Tapered Linen Pants

It’s tough to find an affordable pair of pants that’s 100 percent linen, but here’s a pair that reviewers call high quality for under $50. One actually said they ordered “much more expensive linen pants from a vendor on Etsy, and these are a much better fit and quality fabric.” The waistband is elastic in the back and ties in the front. The legs are straight and taper at the ankles with the same partial elastic finish.
