These Gap Travel Pants Are the ‘Perfect Replacement for Jeans’

As a travel writer, I need my “dress clothes” to do a lot more than just look good for a nice dinner. I need them to also be equipped for a long-haul flight or a spontaneous walking tour of a sprawling resort in 75 percent humidity. I am constantly searching for travel pants that are as practical as they are professional—not to mention comfortable, versatile, and durable enough to pack in my suitcase over and over.

These are the features reviewers love about the “super versatile” and “surprisingly refined” Easy Wide-leg Pants from Gap. The trousers are a highly rated sleeper hit that shoppers have called a perfect jeans alternative. Here’s why you’ll want to take them everywhere with you this fall.

Gap Easy Wide-leg Pants

The $90 Gap bottoms have a flow, wide-leg shape you can pair with a casual T-shirt or chic button-down blouse, depending on the vibe you’re going for. They feature a slim elastic band that adjusts comfortably to your waistline with an interior drawstring, and they drape delicately over your shoes, whether you’re sporting strappy heels or chunky dad sneakers. A big bonus for travelers, they also have hidden pockets at the hips for cash, cards, and documents. 

Reviewers maintain the Easy Wide-leg Pants are true to their name, one calling them the “easiest pants ever” to simply throw on, and another writing that they can be dressed up or down for a wide range of occasions. They’re composed of partially recycled polyester and nine percent elastane, which gives them a good amount of stretch for getting cozy in a plane seat or eschewing public transportation to walk from A to B. It’s no surprise customers have called them the “perfect replacement for jeans.”

Rated 4.5 stars, the pants come in four neutral and autumnal colors—mossy green, terra brown, navy blue, and black. One reviewer said they “will be worn on frequent rotation well into the fall,” and another wrote that the mid-weight material is also great for the transitional, unpredictable weather to come.

Although these travel-ready slacks are listed at full price, Gap is having a major sale on other styles now through Monday, September 8. Sweeten up your seasonal rotation with post-Labor Day deals on travel pants starting at just $12, below.
