10 Best Amazon Fall Travel Pants, Starting at $20

Picture this: You’ve just laid out a cute airport outfit the night before a long-haul flight, proud to have planned a photo-ready travel look from head to toe. That pride turns to panic, though, the second you buckle into your seat. Turns out, your favorite jeans—the ones you excitedly built your entire outfit around—aren’t as comfortable while sitting as they are while standing. With the rigid denim digging into your midsection, and hours of flight time ahead of you, you’re now faced with two options: Either slip into the airplane bathroom and attempt a last-minute wardrobe change only a contortionist could pull off, or try to unbutton them without the stranger next to you noticing.

The good news is that you can prevent such an uncomfortable wardrobe snafu from making your next flight miserable. Amazon is absolutely teeming with comfortable alternatives that move with you, not against you, on exhausting travel days, and lucky for you, we’ve already handpicked our favorites for fall. Within this list, you’ll find breathable cargo joggers, plush sweatpantsand wide-leg yoga pants so stylish that they moonlight as work-appropriate trousers. Unlike stiff jeans, these pants are a traveler’s dream, rather than a nightmare—and they’re all under $40.
