Long ago, when flying first became available as a form of commercial travel, passengers would make a point of dressing up for their flights. Women would wear dresses, and it wasn’t uncommon for men to don full 3-piece suits. Nowadays, however, we’re so used to flying that for most of us, comfort takes priority over style.
That doesn’t mean we can’t still look put together, it’s just that now, we prefer athleisure apparel over formal attire. We especially love to wear a good pair of leggings whenever we fly because they’re easy to throw on and go with just about anything. We’ve tried tons of different pairs – here are the ones we find are most comfortable.
Alo Yoga Airbrush Legging
A favorite of ours for both working out and traveling, these leggings offer a perfect balance of comfort and compression. They’re available in tons of fun colors and multiple lengths, so you can match them with anything in your closet.
Lululemon Align Legging
One of the most iconic and highly-coveted leggings available, Lululemon Align leggings are made with a fabric so buttery-soft, you won’t want to take them off. You can certainly wear them for yoga, but we find they’re a great option for long flights and car rides.
Girlfriend Collective Compressive Legging
As functional as they are comfortable, we love the Compressive Pocket Legging from Girlfriend Collective for travel because they stay in place and offer great coverage. There are even versions with pockets, which are super helpful when you need quick and easy access to travel essentials like your phone or passport.
