There’s a craft to the travel outfit . It should be comfortable, that goes without saying, but it also need to fulfill a host of other requirements: no single-wear items, fabrics that are able to meet a Goldilocksian standard of temperatures, and pieces that balance form and function. (When it comes to dealing with red-eyes, we’re of the look-good-feel-good school of psychological trickery.) While the best sweaters and shoes to wear on flights are relative no-brainers, travel pants are a different story. Restrictive waistbands and finicky fabrics really cut down your options—so we set out to find some solutions.
