6 Best Lightweight Travel Pants for Europe
You’ve been dreaming and planning your dream European vacation for years now, and the time has finally come to make it happen. The tickets are booked, the itinerary set — and now it’s time to pack. You’ll want pieces that are lightweight, wrinkle-resistant and look great while you explore the countryside and dine in ancient castles. Here at Anatomie we have a few great options for lightweight travel pants that fit all those criteria and more.
The Skinny Jean
The European nightlife is hot, and you’ll want to make sure you look great as you join the scene. The Luisa Skinny Jean Pant is a great choice for when you want the look of a skinny jean, but the comfort of great travel pants.
It hits all the high notes: lots of pockets, wrinkle resistant, and UPF 50+ protection so when you party straight through the night, you’ll be ready to tackle the sunrise. This is a great pant for those with curvier body types.
The Stretch Travel Pant
When you’re joining that tour group, you’ll want a pant that is comfortable for all-day wear, but doesn’t sacrifice your stylish look. The Skyler Travel Pant a mid rise and a full length, making it ideal for all-day comfort.
Like it’s sister pants, it offers lots of pockets for stashing your valuables, and is wrinkle resistant so it will come out of the suitcase ready to go when you are. This is a great option for body types that lean more toward straighter, with less hips to go around.
The Perfect Cargo Pant
If you plan to be away from the hotel all day, you might want to go with a cargo pant, instead of a jean or straight-leg pant. Lots of useful pockets is a must, and the Kate Skinny Cargo Pant fills that need, along with offering Anatomie’s signature curve-hugging stretch that is breathable, stylish and comfortable for all-day wear.
The High Waist Option
Sometimes, you want comfy travel pants that do double duty as you mix business with pleasure. If your European vacation includes a bit of work-related necessities (we aren’t judging!) consider the Gail High Waisted Pant is the perfect compromise.
This polished pant offers the same comfort, style and wrinkle-resistance, but with a look that can easily go from the plane, to the boardroom, to the tour group without missing a beat.
The Classic Chino
Finally, round out your European comfortable travel pants wardrobe with a pair of versatile chinos, that can straddle the line between business, casual and sporty without hesitation. The Techno Chino Mid Rise Pant has a flattering, lean look, with longer legs that is ideal for taller women.
It also features a tonal side stripe, for that extra bit of stylish oomph, even while keeping the comfortable, breathable and wrinkle-resistant features of the Anatomie line.
The Sporty Look
If you plan to travel during the warmer months, you might want a slightly sportier look, and an ankle pant is the perfect direction to go. The Susan Skinny Ankle Pant has a shorter leg than its sister options, making it perfect for brunch on the veranda before getting out to see the sights.
It also features a low rise, and tapered ankle details — going more casual doesn’t have to mean going less stylish, after all.
