Travel trousers

12 replies

Buggabootwo · Yesterday 19:02

I do a fair bit of long haul travel and usually wear stretchy M&S trousers and a long sleeve t shirt as the closest I can get to pyjamas without embarrassing my colleagues. However my trousers have seen better days so I need to buy new. I could stick with what I know, but thought I would see if the hive mind has new information. I need short length, soft and comfy, not too pricy as they are for flights only and they need to pack without creasing to buggery. Halara are a possibility, but not sure of quality or packability . Does anyone have any better suggestions?

Next do some good ones. But the thing that changed things for me is a bralette.

I don’t have small boobs 30ff yet the bra made the biggest difference for travelling

I quite like the Next ones, but they don’t do petite length and the reviews mention that they are long.

And thoroughly agree about a bralette. I’m a 34G and wear the M&S flexifit ones. It gives me a monoboob, but bloody marvellous on a plane for 10-12 hours

Saint + Sophia trousers are fabulous. Never crease. They are a jersey type fabric, elasticated waist and decent side pockets, however, they are not the cheapest. They also look smart and do shorter lengths

I just use non cuffed jogging bottoms, or I might try my Weekday balloon pants for next long haul. If I’m travelling with colleagues we have a deal where from the door of the plane onwards we pretend we don’t know each other 😄 If I’m going straight on to a work thing, I’ll change at the airport.

These from Saint and Sofia. I have them in black and light brown. They are fabulous. Great quality and very comfortable.

Another vote for saint and Sofia. I have a few pairs of their trousers and they are very comfortable.

Thanks all. I want stretchy ones so I don’t think the Next ones fit the bill. However Saint and Sofia and the Yoga pants sound very promising.

I wear compression gym leggings like Sweaty Betty.
Not only comfy and elastic but the compression stops me from blowing up like a balloon on flights which I tend to do.
Then my lovely below bum length, long sleeve grey teashirt which I love, its only JD Williams but its perfect and my longer length Baukjen cream cable jumper.
Also my gold Hotter tourist 2 sandals because however much my feet swell they will still fit.
