Travelers Are Packing These Comfy Palazzo Pants Instead of Jeans This Summer—and They're Just $35 at Amazon

The topic of traveling with jeans is so divisive: I know people who refuse to pack them and others who won't wear anything but jeans on a plane. I fall somewhere in the middle. I won't fly in them, but I hesitate to travel without a versatile pair of jeans that I can easily style for just about any occasion. Are they the heaviest item in my suitcase? Almost always. Do I regret packing them? Most of the time. Until the sartorial world of comfy travel pants burst open in recent years, options were limited. Now, I see myself traveling in flowy palazzo pants instead of heavy, restrictive denim. Reviewers make a convincing case for these new Amazon capris being a casual-but-not-too-casual default. Here's why they say they've found their new favorite travel pants. 'I was looking for a new pair of travel pants for a trip to Mexico,' one shopper said. 'I wanted something loose-fitting and comfy, and these definitely fit the bill.' They liked that the smocked waistline 'has plenty of give' and can comfortably sit high on the waist or low on the hips. The fabric is 'lightweight, but not super thin,' which makes the pants a perfect fit for a hot destination. Others agree that the relaxed style and breezy material make a perfect match for summer. The Anrabess palazzo pants, released at Amazon last fall, are a subtle take on the current 'barrel pants' trend. But instead of a bold curved leg, they create the illusion of a bowed shape with the angled hem. The pants are cropped above the ankle, allowing for optimal airflow and endless shoe pairings. 'Throw on low heels or Birkenstocks,' a traveler says, depending on what your itinerary has in store. In terms of versatility, people say they can wear them anywhere, from the beach to the office. The deep side pockets make them especially practical for travel. They come in 18 colors, each for $35. Summer vacations are coming up, and these couldn't be more worthy of packing. Read on for more comfortable palazzo-style travel pants we found at a similar price point, and finally, make better use of all that suitcase space your jeans usually take up. At the time of publishing, the price started at $35. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.
