No one wants to feel stuffed into stiff jeans while 30,000 feet in the air. But not all denim is inconvenient for travel, and the right pair of jeans can be just as cozy as your favorite travel pants while looking ten times more stylish. Think soft fabrics, roomy silhouettes, and just enough stretch to handle both a red-eye and a Monday morning meeting.
I'm admittedly a denim snob. I typically shop premium denim for myself and my clients and am always ready to give a myriad of reasons jeans are worth investing in. Then, I tried on Gap's $90 high-rise Stride wide-leg ankle jeans. Y'all, I loved these jeans. They felt high-quality and sturdy, and I immediately wanted to purchase them - perhaps in several different washes. I'm 5'4", so while I don't seek out petite styles, the ankle length was perfect.
