All the celebs’ airport looks left us aww, but we did not opt for them because of their functionality. I saw an influencer (my high school benchmate) insta post about her positive experience that made me get them. These aren’t your typical jeans; they’re travel pants that made me feel like I was lounging at home, not crammed in economy.
The ultimate test of patience is the long flights. Between cramped seats, stale air, and the inevitable bloating, the last thing you need is pants that pinch, sag, or make you feel like a stuffed sausage. As someone with mild motion sickness, I don’t want to wear uncomfortable clothes on my long journey ahead.
Mott & Bow High Rise Skinny Jane Jeans
My first expression of them was wait, these aren’t travel pants, my past experiences with travel pants made me expect a bulky pant with loose fitting and nonstretchy fabric that need ironing before putting them on. To my shock, this pant proved me wrong; the fabric was super stretchy and breathable enough that I felt like I was not wearing any pants. They are a modern version of jagging with a pocket and a luxe vibe that is perfect for a comfortable travel outfit.
Key Features
These jeans are designed with high rise skin fit, with the following outstanding features:
- 4-Way Stretch: Moves with you during those awkward aisle shuffles to the bathroom.
- Hidden Pockets: Two deep front pockets and a secure back zip pocket for your phone, passport, or lip balm.
- Wrinkle-Resistant Fabric: Looks polished even after hours of squishing into economy seats.
- Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: No swampy feeling during layover sprints.
- Warm enough to survive the chilling air-conditioner of the cabin.
The Flight Test
I took a long flight of 14 hours from New York to Tokyo, and to my surprise, they passed the metal hardware without setting the alarm on. The elastic band around the waistband gives appropriate grip that doesn’t make me unbutton my jeans after some time. I slept, cross-legged, curled up and did some yoga stretches but this pant survived all the challenges I was throwing at them. The most impressive part was that I didn’t change them and went straight to my meeting.
Not Just Travel Pants
I tried pulling them off with other outfits and on different occasions, no one could tell I bought them as travel pants, here are a few ideas on how I style them, it might inspire you for your next outing:
Casual: Throw on a slouchy sweater or a graphic tee depending on the weather and white sneakers.
Elevated: For a formal event, or meeting, add a blazer and heeled ankle boots or pumps.
Jet-Set Glam: Tuck in a silk cami and layer delicate gold jewelry. Bold makeup with glitter eyes and nude lips.
