The Ideal Travel Companion: Old Navy Yoga Pants that Resemble Slacks

• Since the pandemic, I have developed a preference for comfortable and stretchy pants over traditional jeans and slacks.
• Nowadays, I choose soft and flexible pants that can be dressed up for a more formal look.
• When it comes to casual yet comfy outfits, my go-to choice is Old Navy’s wide-leg PowerSoft pants, which cost $44.

During a recent business class flight, I couldn’t help but feel underdressed compared to my fellow travelers who opted for business casual attire. Meanwhile, I had chosen a casual and cozy outfit.

Fortunately, my choice of stretchy pants saved the day. The wide-leg yoga pants from Old Navy can pass as trousers, allowing me to maintain a put-together look on the flight.

Since the pandemic, many of us have embraced “workleisure” fashion, replacing traditional jeans and “hard pants” with comfortable yet stylish outfits.

These $44 pants from Old Navy are not only comfortable but also suitable for travel and can be mistaken for regular pants when paired with the right top.

Stay Cozy and Stylish with These Yoga Pants

I purchased the black Old Navy PowerSoft wide-leg pants a few months ago at their original price of $44.99.

What sets these pants apart is their shape. They sit high-waisted at my belly button and have an elastic waistband that accentuates my waist before flaring out at the legs. The fabric feels like typical yoga pants, but from a distance, they can easily pass as dress pants.

I usually pair them with a black tank top for a casual yet fashionable look while running errands or hanging out with friends. They have also become my go-to pants for traveling, especially when paired with a bodysuit or white T-shirt for a chic “model-off-duty” vibe.

Old Navy

My only tip is to keep in mind that Old Navy sizing tends to run large, so I recommend opting for a size smaller than usual. These pants are available in sizes ranging from extra small to 4x and come in five neutral colors, including black and tan.

While Old Navy offers affordable options, there are other brands like Lululemon and Athleta that also offer stretchy trouser alternatives suitable for work and leisure attire.

Compared to Athleta and Lululemon, these pants are more budget-friendly, especially when Old Navy has sales that offer additional discounts. It might be worth considering getting a tan pair on my next purchase.
