Spanx has mastered the balance of a travel outfit that blends style, function, and comfort (like the Oprah-loved AirEssentials Collection). So when they recently moved traveler-loved clothing to their sale section, I took a deeper look. With pants slashed from $138 down to $40 and shorts as low as $19, now is the perfect time to think about investing in travel-friendly clothes that are designed for all-day comfort. Think: high-waisted wide-leg pants, cozy sweatshirts, versatile leggings, and more. These items combine Spanx’s signature smoothing technology and slimming designs with timeless silhouettes that slip easily into a traveler’s capsule wardrobe.
Whether you need packable, polished pants for a work trip or a wrinkle-resistant top for a red-eye flight, these picks from Spanx’s sale are so good they’ll probably be gone by Black Friday. Check out the comfortable styles in this list, starting at just $19. Together, they could be a complete carry-on packing list.
Carefree Crepe Trouser
This trouser offers an elevated look with travel-friendly features like a pull-on design, elastic waistband, and silky soft satin interior. Made from machine-washable crepe fabric, these pull-on pants are lightweight and wrinkle-resistant, so you can walk off your long-haul flight not looking or feeling disheveled. Pair them with blister-free sneakers for sightseeing or dress them up with a blazer for a work dinner abroad.
AirEssentials Full Zip Hoodie
Use this hoodie as an extra layer on chilly mornings at the cabin or to keep cozy in flight. The oatmeal color is on sale now for $69 and is a great neutral color for mixing and matching with a minimalist palette.
On the Move Cargo Pant
With an adjustable drawcord waist and UPF 50+ sun protection, this cargo pant is designed for adventurers. The adjustable hem lets you style them as joggers or wide-leg pants, making them a versatile piece that’s great for active trips. Whether you’re cycling all over Amsterdam or hiking in Bali, these sweat-wicking pants will perform.
AirEssentials Cropped Wide Leg Pant
The AirEssentials pant was designed for comfortable travel. The lightweight fabric is breathable, stretchy, and silky against the skin. Wear them with highly-rated comfortable shoes for a long travel day.
Carefree Crepe Tapered Ankle Pant
Made from the same machine-washable crepe fabric as the trousers, these ankle pants can go from a work conference to a night out. Their tapered silhouette and ankle length make them a chic choice for museum visits or any event where you want a tailored, smart look without sacrificing comfort. Wear them with white socks and travel-friendly loafers for a classically preppy look.
Poplin Fitted Button-down Shirt
Button-downs are notorious for wrinkling, but this collared shirt touts Spanx’s wrinkle-free treatment. Designed to be worn tucked or untucked, this stretchy multi-season shirt is on rare sale in white.
EveryWear Cropped Wide Leg Jeans with Patch Pockets
These wide-leg patch pocket jeans are giving Jane Birkin in the south of France. Spanx has improved the classic maritime pant style with built-in “TummyTamer Tech” for a waist-highlighting fit. Despite the look of a button and zipper closure, these jeans are pull-on and stretchy. Right now, the white color is on sale for $49 and ecru is reduced to $89 (from the original $148). Wear them with a Breton striped top for a classic French-inspired look.
On the Move Tapered Pant
This active pant is designed for everything from workouts to weekend markets, making it a useful tool in a traveler’s multipurpose wardrobe. Sweat-wicking with a smoothing pull-on waistband, the pants also feature hidden snaps on the pockets — a savvy design detail for travelers who worry about items falling out. Get the Tuscan olive color for your upcoming trip to Italy, now just $40.
Velvet Leggings
These velvet leggings could easily transition from cozy flight attire to an elegant evening night out. The soft fabric and signature “Power Waistband” guarantee a flattering yet comfortable fit. If you’re headed to an apres-ski winter trip, style them with a long sweater and Ugg boots for an outfit to feel good in by the fire.
Stretch Rib Polo Top
This sporty polo is body-hugging and stretchy, making it a great top for wearing tucked into high-waisted pants without adding bulk to your waistline. Grab it in either the brown hickory shade or the all-white powder hue.
AirEssentials Cropped Pocket Tee
A steal at just $19, this cropped tee is best worn with high-waisted pants. More than just a plain cotton top, this shirt is from the Air Essentials collection, which means it’s made of Spanx’s signature sleek fabric that has four-way stretch.
