The Ultimate Travel Pants

The Ultimate Travel Pants

Always on lookout for amazing minimalist travel pieces, I was so excited one when of my favorite travel clothing brands, Kameleon Rose, created even more multifunctional travel clothes, including these incredible travel pants.

easy convertible clothing

I love convertible clothing.

Whenever one piece can pull double duty, like a scarf , it's instantly more valuable to me.

So when something can convert into a whopping 10 different items - it's a total win.

These pants are not just pants - With a genius invisible zipper and easy elastic ties, these can also transform into a full body jumpsuit, a shirt, a blouse, a halter top, a head wrap, and even an easy carry bag. 

Just like the Ultimate Travel Dress , the pants also have the bonus secret pocket - an ingenious design addition that fits a whole passport without anybody even noticing, so you can travel even safer with less effort.

lightweight non-creasing fabric

Weighing in at less than two bananas (that's super light plant-based measuring), these minimalist pants are a breeze to fold, pack and carry.

The soft, smooth, sustainable polyester fabric is easy to clean and super quick drying so it's ready to go in no time.

stretchy comfortable wear

Let's face it - clothes are all about the comfort.

No matter how great they are, they've gotta feel good when you wear them and you have to love wearing them.

Especially when you have a minimalist capsule wardrobe like myself.

So one of my favorite things about Kameleon Rose is the fabric - totally luxurious feeling on your skin, stretchy elastic to fit all your curves, and totally comfortable to wear all day, err day.

Kameleon Rose Multi-Way Travel Clothing – Review & Giveaway

Kameleon Rose 5-Way Cardigan

I’m a hopeless packer. You’d think after all these years of hauling luggage across the globe I’d have it down to a fine art. But no. Each time we go on a trip the packing process takes hours, beginning with everything but the kitchen sink, and finally ending with just the essentials. Plus a few ‘just-in-cases’ and a couple of ‘well-you-never-knows’.

Then we went to Kenya.

At first I revelled in all the perks that our business class tickets would bring, not least of which was a heap of extra baggage allowance. I immediately began planning a list of all the souvenirs I wanted to get my hands on. Then Hubbie pointed out that our internal flights to the lodges and bush camps where we’d be staying would in fact be taken in tiny little planes, with a maximum luggage quota of just 15 kg per person. Including hand baggage. Our camera gear alone took care of most of that.

Packing for travels to Kenya

This is our pre-Kenya trip packing…mine is at the top, Hubbie’s at the bottom!

I sadly put back most of my kaftans, jumpers and sandals but was still left with a dilemma. It was either wear the same clothes for the entire trip, or pay a hefty amount for extra kgs. So I made do with a fleece, shirt, trousers and a sarong. Which you’ll notice in the photos if you’ve read any of our Kenya posts . It was a fabulous trip, but I felt under-dressed the whole time. It was difficult to dress stylishly and comfortably on the limited contents of my suitcase.

Introducing Kameleon Rose

Kameleon Rose is all about practical yet fashionable pieces , all of which are ethically produced in Madagascar and Mauritius. But that’s not all. Each item of clothing can be styled in several different ways, meaning that the comfy dress you wore whilst slouching in your plane seat can also be taken on a glamorous night out on the town. How cool is that?

Kameleon Rose has several different clothing items, including the Ultimate Travel Dress (which can be worn 20 different ways), the Ultimate Travel Pant (worn 10 different ways), and a 5 Way Cardigan (the clue’s in the name). They even have a 4 Way Bag which turns into a sun hat! Together the 6 pieces of Kameleon Rose clothing creates a brilliant capsule wardrobe of 100 outfits , perfect for travellers who want to cut down on their luggage without compromising on style.

The Kameleon: The Ultimate Travel Dress

The 5 Way Cardigan

Kameleon Rose kindly sent me a 5 Way Cardigan to try out, and I’ve been putting it through its paces this month. This convertible cardigan transforms in a sweater, a hoodie, a waterfall cardigan and a hooded top . It did take me a little while to get my head around how to put together the styles, working out which buttons fastened where, but a quick look at their online styling guide soon had me sorted.

kameleon rose the ultimate travel pants

The fabric of all the Kameleon Rose clothing is non-creasing and quick drying, which is great news for travellers. No more hanging up dresses in the bathroom in the deluded hope that the shower steam will get rid of those packing creases. The only slight negative is that it currently only comes in black or grey, which makes it easy to match with other items of clothing, but a dash of colour would be good too.

Despite all the fancy design, I think my favourite feature of the cardigan is the material. It’s super snuggly , and without doubt the most comfortable top I own! In fact I’ve been wearing it nearly every day this month…around the house, out to town and even when we’ve been out for dinner in the evenings.

The Kameleon Rose is definitely my new favourite wardrobe addition, and I can’t wait to try it out when we head back to Kenya in the new year.

Hi, I'm Heather, an English lass with a Scottish name who likes to call the whole world her home. I’m actually a rocket scientist, astronaut and trapeze artist, but since my family and friends all think I’m a copywriter, we’ll maybe stick with that for now! You'll often find me curled up in a castle with a weighty historical tome and a glass of rhubarb gin, truly believing that I was a princess in another life. I'm a huge fan of cowboys, jungles and blueberry muffins, but prefer to steer clear of dogs, sun loungers and public transport.

Ethical & Eco-Friendly Fashion Brands for Women Who Travel

19 of the best ethical and eco-friendly travel clothes and accessories brands for women on the go—as recommended by me and other bloggers.

F or the past seven-and-a-bit years, I’ve worked as a writer and editor for Australia’s leading ethical fashion magazine . In that time, I’ve got to meet and profile hundreds of ethically made and eco-friendly fashion and accessories labels from all four corners of the globe. Fair to say that social and environmental sustainability have become values I hold close to my heart.

Whether I’m at home or travelling, I always try to support ethical and eco-friendly fashion labels. Not only are they better for people and planet, they also tend to make items that are timeless and high-quality—perfect for intensive wear while travelling. There are a couple of brands I’m loyal to and a handful of items I wouldn’t dream of taking off my packing list. To find out what other ethical and eco-friendly brands are fit for travel, I decided I’d ask a few travel bloggers for their recommendations.

Whether you’re trying to decide on your next travel clothing purchase or you’re looking for the perfect gift for the travelling woman in your life, here are 19 ethically made and eco-friendly fashion and accessories that are perfect for ladies on the move.

If there was ever an ethical fashion label tailor-made for travel, it’s Matter. Co-founded by two Singaporean friends and inspired by their own travels across India in a tuk-tuk, Matter was literally born out of a passion for adventure and discovery.

A big part of this label’s ethos is protecting traditional artisan skills. Both Matter’s cuts and motifs are drawn from heritage designs; the signature Sideswept Dhotis are based off a pair of trousers worn by Gandhi. Ikat, batik and hand-loomed cotton fabrics are all produced ethically by artisan groups in rural India before being sewn into pants, jumpsuits and tops at Matter’s Fair Factory in Delhi. The prints are subtle enough to pair with other patterns (essential for travel in my books)—and even though the fabrics are light and delicate, they can still be machine washed.

I was invited to road test Matter’s Easy Dhoti pants in Falcon Dusk while I was back home in Brisbane—and I’ve been wearing them almost daily! The elastic waist and ankle cuffs are super comfy. They’re definitely on the easy-fitting side, with a generous amount of fabric around the thigh, but it’s easy to dress them up with a scarf and fitted jacket. I will definitely be bringing them along on my next trip!

Kuhl is a fantastic American brand that provides high-quality outdoor and mountain clothing. They have a wide range of comfortable and cozy clothes for all seasons, and they are all made with ethical fabrics—whether technical ones or natural ones such as cotton or wool.

One of their best items for both men and women is the Arktik Parka , which should be on any packing list when travelling to cold destinations in the winter months. This jacket is water resistant and coated and waxed to protect it from rain, snow and cold wind. It’s made with Italian faux leather and ethically sourced goose down, so that it’s wonderfully insulating even in the coldest weather conditions.

It has plenty of pockets to keep important items safe, and a good hood to protect against the cold wind. Last but definitely not least, the design and style are such that whoever wears the jacket will look stylish, even in the coldest weather.

Kameleon Rose Travel Dress

Recommended by Nat, natpacker

One of my favourite items in my travel wardrobe is the Kameleon Rose Travel Dress . This dress can be worn in twenty different styles—dresses, pants, skirts and even tops are all possible. It makes packing so much easier. As I girl, I always struggle with outfits when I travel, which often leads to over-packing. But this gives me so much choice in one item. Though I do seem to have four favourite ways of wearing it.

What makes it so good for travel, other than the flexibility? It has a secret pocket to store small valuables, it packs up small, and it’s lightweight and fast drying. Plus, the material is lovely and comfortable. For me it was a perfect addition to my travel clothing.

Kameleon Rose was founded by Leila Rose, who shared the frustration of many women of how to be stylish and comfortable when travelling. So she designed her Ultimate Travel Dress. The dress is made in Madagascar and Mauritius , in ethical conditions. All factories are WRAP Certified, which is the world’s largest independent program for textile certification. The WRAP Certification has twelve principles that must be adhered to, covering health and safety and working hours, and prohibits child labour and forced labour.

Mata Traders

Recommended by Susanna, The Wandering Chocobo

I left fast fashion in the dust two years ago and Mata Traders was my first fully ethical and smart purchase. The fact that I LOVE their brand and wear their clothing every single time I fly made me confident in my decision to leave fast fashion behind. With Mata Traders, you can look fashionable, be comfortable when you travel and feel good about your decision. I always pair one of their dresses with an organic bamboo sweater and a pair of leggings for long hauls, and I am always so comfortable. Their tops are loose and comfortable for hot destinations. They even have a curvy line!

Mata Traders is all about empowering marginalised women in communities in Nepal and India to encourage them to use traditional techniques while receiving a fair living wage. All Mata Traders products are unique pieces, handmade with love and fair trade practices. The women get health care, maternity leave, retirement and daycare—and there is no child labor used.

Keep an eye out for them in Chicago and across the US, or they ship around the world. I have even made a few orders from here in Munich!

Another of my go-to brands for eco-friendly travel clothes is Dorsu. Based in a gorgeous studio-shop in Kampot , Cambodia, Dorsu produce their capsule collections locally using dead stock fabric salvaged from garment factories in Phnom Penh.

When I lived in Cambodia, I got to see firsthand how the fast-fashion industry operates. Dorsu Co-founders Hanna and Kunthear and the rest of the Dorsu crew have an intimate understanding of the industry and its downsides. They offer alternative, fair employment to local women—and a lot of hands-on training—and do their bit for the environment by upcycling those perfectly good fabrics that might otherwise be torched or sent to landfill.

Dorsu clothes are purposefully seasonless and perfect for travel. Because of the way they’re sourced, the makeup and origins of the fabrics are often unknown, but they’re always super-soft, lux, and curated to a neutral palette that’s perfect for layering. My Dorsu long-sleeved tees were a lifesaver on my last trip to Europe, and I always carry my Dorsu pullover black turtleneck dress with me.

Encircled’s comfortable and versatile clothes make them my favorite brand to travel with! As a committed ethical traveller and carry-on only enthusiast, I love that their pieces have been thoughtfully designed as basics that can be worn anytime, anyplace. I wear their super soft and cozy (but still fashionable) Dressy Sweatpants on every flight. And their Chrysalis Cardi is always in my carry-on because it can be worn eight different ways—from a fancy one-shoulder dress for a night out, to a cardigan you can keep in your day bag just in case. The founder of Encircled, a former management consultant, says she travelled over 100,000 miles a year and practically lived in airports. This lived experience definitely comes through in her designs that are perfect for frequent travelers.

Encircled is deeply to committed to ethics and sustainability in all aspects of their business. All of their clothes are produced locally in Toronto to reduce their carbon footprint, and they use sustainable fabrics and recyclable shipping materials. They also believe transparency is essential, so they openly share information about their sewing studios and welcome questions about their business. They even reduce waste by up-cycling their excess fabric cuttings into headbands and hair elastics!

Patagonia is a tried-and-tested giant in the outdoor apparel world. Their speciality clothing is made for any outdoor pursuit conceivable—including travel. From the beginning, the company has dedicated funds to conservation causes and promoted environmental stewardship as well as supply chain transparency. They currently have programs to use recycled fabrics in the construction of their clothes and each piece comes with an ‘Iron Clad Guarantee’, so you can shop with confidence.

I personally love their Capilene long-sleeve shirts that provide sun protection while keeping cool at the same time, and the GoreTex jackets for active travel. Their three-layer breathable GoreTex Triolet jackets, for example, can be used on their own as a rain jacket in the summer or layered over a synthetic or down mid-layer for winter or high alpine pursuits.

While they’re definitely pricey, these jackets are virtually bomb-proof and will be a part of your travel kit for years to come. I bought my Super Alpine jacket (similar to the Triolet) in 2012 and it’s been travelling around the world with me for 14 months. Most recently it helped me reach the sky high 6088m summit of Huayana Potosi in Bolivia!

Bamboo Body

Recommended by Emma, Small footprints, big adventures

I love bamboo clothing for many reasons. It feels super-soft and slinky, and the fibres are made from a very fast-growing and renewable crop that doesn’t require pesticides or huge amounts of water to grow like cotton does. Although any crop can become unsustainable, I trust Australian brand Bamboo Body and have been wearing their clothes for many years. They are committed to producing clothing ethically and sustainably, and highlight their garment creators on their website. Bamboo Body is also committed to a low carbon footprint and employs sustainable practices for their factory and for product transportation.

Their clothes are perfect for travel for several reasons. Comfort is most important to me! Garments are as comfy as t-shirts and tracksuit pants, but don’t look anything like sportswear. I’ve used them as sleepwear many times and they are perfect for that, too.

Another great benefit is that Bamboo Body’s range is certified UPF 50+, making them wonderful for sun protection. And as bamboo is all natural and breathable, they can be worn in the heat or cold while helping with temperature regulation. And the final benefit that is truly awesome for travelers: No ironing!

For female and male travellers who like to shop sustainably, Prana is a perfect go-to clothing brand. Prana sells every kind of clothing a traveller could want, from leggings to hiking pants, t-shirts to sports bras. And of course, their products are built to last. I love my Prana leggings and tops because they are breathable, easy to wash, sweat-wicking, and comfortable. Most are made of either organic cotton or other high-quality materials, so they’re perfect for layering or wearing alone in warmer weather. Whether I’m hiking or lounging around, you can usually find me in something made by Prana.

One of the best things about Prana is that when I buy from them, I know I’m supporting a conscious brand. Prana isn’t just stylish and durable, but it’s also a company with a track record of sustainability and integrity. They are in compliance with Fair Trade, bluesign, Textile Exchange, and Responsible Down Standard—not to mention using sustainable materials in all of their clothing. Prana cares about the environment and about the future of the clothing industry, and it definitely shows in the way they do business.

I’ve travelled the world with Prana products and I’ll continue to be a happy customer for many years to come, knowing that my clothes are sustainably sourced, environmentally friendly, and fair trade.

Pact is easily my favorite clothing brand right now and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

They’re great for basic and minimalistic pieces that are made from the softest 100% Organic 100 organic cotton. Pact’s materials are eco-friendly and Global Organic Textile Standard compliant, and all garments are made in Fair Trade Certified factories. Additionally, Pact products are incredibly affordable. Even though I would be willing to pay more money for ethical clothing, it’s nice not to have to break the bank to do the right thing, especially as a traveler.

I have several pieces of their clothing including a black dress —with pockets!—and several pairs of leggings, t-shirts and hoodies. I’ve definitively put them through the ringer and you’d never know it!

Travelling is a bit more difficult for us women when we have to manage our periods . I have avoided disposables for years now for environmental and health reasons, but I have never found my menstrual cup to be very comfortable, nor trusted it not to leak. But I do love menstrual underwear, and have found them to be even better than cups for travelling.

I bought underwear in different absorbances from Australian brand Modibodi before we went overseas, and fully tested them at home to ensure they would not leak or be uncomfortable. Even now after almost two years of using them every month, I haven’t had a single leak. They’re also so much more comfortable than pads; they don’t feel any different really. And for travel these benefits are godsends, because I can wear them all day—even on a long bus ride—and be very comfortable AND assured that I won’t have any embarrassing leaks. They contain odours and are moisture-wicking too, so they are helpful in many ways to feel confident anywhere.

As well as loving their products, I love that Modibodi has a great social conscience. They are involved in many projects to empower women and girls to have stress-free periods, and also match customer’s to donations to women’s shelters through their Give A Pair program.

Banana Backpacks

Recommended by Katie, Two Wandering Soles

Choosing a travel backpack is no easy feat. Through nearly 50 countries and over the course of nine years, I’ve tried a few different types of backpack, and I think I finally found my match.

Banana Backpacks has just one bag on their website. But if you do one product right, you don’t need more than that. It’s for both men and women and combines all my favourite aspects of backpacks I’ve had in the past, but also includes new features I’ve always wished for. They have a ton of thoughtfully placed pockets and compartments, and the material is durable and water resistant. Oh, and this backpack comes with packing cubes that are specifically designed to fit the bag. (If you haven’t tried packing cubes yet, your life is about to change!)

Not only is this a super-quality backpack, but my favourite part of the brand is their ethos and mission. Anika and Michael are the brother-sister duo behind Banana Backpacks, and they started this company to create high-quality, ethically manufactured travel gear while giving back.

Every backpack purchased supports a child go to school for a year. And that child’s name is stitched into the strap on your backpack. Umm, anyone else have goose bumps?! Beyond that, Anika and Michael spent a month touring factories in Vietnam to find exactly what they were looking for: A manufacturer that is a certified for its responsible and ethical labour practices and is dedicated to the local community.

A backpack that is durable, well-designed, ethically manufactured AND gives back… What more could you ask for?!

Instagram had started to make me feel frustrated—the endless rounds of pictures showing animals tormented by plastic waste were becoming a norm. It seemed the world had stopped caring. Then I came to know about Batoko. Their bright floral swimwear evokes a surge of emotion as you learn the story behind the production. As Batoko says, ‘We are rubbish, literally’. They endeavour to recycle some of the plastic waste humans nonchalantly dispose of in the sea every year. The swimsuits are stitched from fibres made of recycled plastic marine waste and finished with fun prints depicting orcas , sharks and banana leaves.

The fact that they care shows in Batoko’s minimalistic packaging too—it comes with an extra strip, ready to be reused.

Rothy’s

Recommended by Allison, Eternal Arrival

One of my favorite sustainable shoe brands for travel is Rothy’s, which makes comfortable, stylish flats made out of recycled water bottles. So far, they’ve recycled more than 12 million water bottles into flats—and more every day. The water bottles are stripped down to the point where they can be turned into a fabric, and then they are knit by machine and put together by hand. Rothy’s uses a seamless construction process using 3D knitting which significantly reduces waste—so not only are they turning waste into fabric, they’re not wasting any of the fabric they create. The fabric is really soft and comfortable, and the finished shoe almost feels more like a soft sock than anything hard or ‘plasticky’.

They’re really comfortable and can withstand several hours of pounding the pavement when you travel around a city, which is why I often include them on my packing list for city trips. They come in four styles—rounded flat, a pointed flat, a loafer-like flat, and a slip on sneaker—and a huge variety of beautiful colors. My personal favorite is the pointed flat : It’s really polished but super comfortable. The shoes are also machine washable (in cold water) so that if they get a little funky or dirty after several days of traveling, you can easily wash them.

They aren’t cheap, but they are well-constructed and made to last, so I consider them a great travel investment for someone looking for a versatile, stylish, but sustainable and ethical shoe. Finally, when you’re ready to part with your Rothy shoes, they are completely recyclable: Just send them into Rothy’s dedicated recycling facility and they will be given a new life.

Ethical Cashmere

Recommended by Nuraini, Teja on the Horizon

As a sustainable traveller with a really low tolerance for cold, I know my warm fibres! If I might get cold because of climate or inexplicably frigid air-conditioning (important for business travel in Asia!), and especially if I want the option to be a bit dressy, I pack my cashmere. Cashmere is at least as warm as alpaca, but has a finer and more luxurious texture.

Ethical Cashmere is a social enterprise that my friend and I helped to start along with a Kashmiri weaving family I met in Nepal. We wanted to support the community-based economy of Himalayan cashmere, as well as introduce online authentic cashmere as an affordable and sustainable alternative to mass-produced wool and polyester fleece.

In the Himalayas, where cashmere is originally from, the wool is still obtained by combing it off goats shepherded at high altitude when they moult in spring. Weavers are hired on fairly traded wages, either on a contract or a per-piece basis. The employment is flexible and adapted to the weavers’ existing lives and free time. It does not disrupt family life or culture. Our ambition is to double our weavers’ wages by 2020.

Ginko was one of the first ethical brands I looked up when I moved to Vietnam. The label has gift shops all over Hanoi and is something of a local icon.

Ginko is best-known for the cute, quirky Viet-centric designs they print on organic cotton tees. But it’s their travel bags that I love best. Messenger bags, swing bags, totes and backpacks are all handmade from upcycled materials—including brightly coloured tarpaulin. Robust but still lightweight, the materials used make the backpacks water and weather-proof, with a roll-down top you can secure with a clip. Straps on the back are heavily padded, making them comfortable enough to carry around all day.

My Ginko pack is the perfect size for weekend trips. It also has an interior pocket that’s big enough to hold my laptop, so I’ve been using it in the city too. The shape of the bag can make it a little frustrating to pack and unpack (I’ve been spoiled by my full zip-down backpack—this one is top-access only); but on the plus side, it does fit a lot of soft items inside. Like all Ginko products, travel bags are made locally in Hanoi in ethical conditions.

Tree Tribe is a company that makes a variety of eco-friendly accessories and adventure gear. Some of their products, like insulated water bottles and reusable tote bags, help people use less single-use plastic. And other products, such as journals, leggings and travel pouches, are perfect for taking on travels or outdoor adventures.

All their products are mindfully made. Their leggings are made from recycled materials and they have a whole line of pouches, wallets and bags crafted from ‘ leaf leather ‘—a natural (and vegan) alternative to traditional leather.

But that’s not all… Tree Tribe plants 10 trees around the world for every product purchased. They’ve already planted more than 250,000 trees, which is a pretty inspiring number!

I love when a company has a strong commitment to something greater than just their product: Be it the environment, community, education or clean water. We all know our world could use a few more companies that give back in a way that speaks to them.

Matt & Nat

I had been looking for a leather-alternative wallet, and even more so something that wasn’t cheaply made using dodgy business practices. My first Matt & Nat vegan wallet checked all those boxes and more. I’m now faithful to the brand, which also makes the perfect sustainable bag for traveling. I love the weekender and tote bags, which are perfect for carrying on the airplane. Their backpacks are great for city exploration. They even have a suitcase line!

So, what makes Matt & Nat so great beyond the use of vegan leather? Well, the entire company is cruelty-free. Each bag’s lining is made from recycled plastic bottles, meaning they recycle two million plastic bottles a year. The owners have a close working relationship with and visit all their factories to ensure their product line is ethical and maintains strict working standards. They experiment with different vegan leathers, including recycled cork, nylon, and rubber. The best part is that it feels and looks natural, so I am proud to pull it out and show it off as I travel the world.

If you ever decide you don’t want your Matt & Nat (even though mine is still holding up well after two years), make sure you recycle it. The company encourages you to donate to Dress for Success so that last year’s model doesn’t end up in a landfill.

Allbirds Shoes

Recommended by Margie, DQ Family Travel

Unless I am in the snow, I love to wear my Allbirds sneakers everywhere, especially when I travel. They are lightweight, slip on, and so comfortable.

One of my favorite things about the shoes is that they are made of merino wool and have a simple design. The brand started in New Zealand, where designer Tim Brown began thinking why wool wasn’t used more in footwear. Since sheep outnumber people there six-to-one, he started brainstorming on how to use more natural materials in footwear.

Allbirds uses all-natural materials, from wool to tree fibers to sugarcane for the shoe soles. They use castor bean oil to aid in the comfort of the insoles; the laces are made from plastic bottles; and the shoes come packaged in recycled cardboard boxes. They have various style and color options for men and women and all provide the same level of comfort, breathability, eco-friendliness and simple design that I have come to love.

Wow I absolutely love this!! I have been looking for ethical brands for a while and this helps soo much!! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!!!

That’s awesome, Kat! Glad to hear you found some inspiration here! I’ve picked up a few new things from this list for my 2019 travels too!

Prana is my new recent discovery and I love it! This list is wonderful. I’m always looking for more ways to be socially and environmentally sustainable. Thanks so much!

Glad to hear that you found some inspiration here, Viola! So many excellent brands out there!

This is such a detailed post with so many brands I now want to research more on. I think the most annoying thing about reading posts like this when you’re on the road, is knowing you can’t actually invest in any of the awesome suggestions until you’re in a country that stocks them / they deliver to! My list of things to buy when I’m back in the U.K. just gets bigger and bigger!!

Thanks for that, Laura! Glad to hear you’re feeling inspired to research more—all these brands have a fascinating story behind them! Definitely need to bookmark them for later 😉

They all look great! I really like the swimsuit and the trousers in the first picture! Very stylish and pretty. Great post!

Thanks for your comment, Danielle! I loveeee my Matter trousers! So great for travel. And the swimsuit is a favourite of mine too!

I have noticed when things are eco-friendly, they are not very eye pleasing but not the above brands – they look so colorful and vibrant 🙂 and Sugarcane for shoe soles!! Guess who is not complaining about finding herself with her foot in her mouth 😉

Haha! I think your observation is true in many cases—but so many brands are now implementing social and eco initiatives while still creating beautiful, appealing products. These days it’s easier than ever to find great, stylish products without having to compromise on your values!

Lovely post!! I’d also recommend Sundaze Bikinis. They actually make their bikinis out of plastic that’s found in the ocean. Plus, they’re super comfy and great for water sports where you can get tossed and turned a bit!

I hadn’t heard of Sundaze before but wow, very cool! Thanks for the recommendation, Sarah!

Great post! I have prana and Kuhl in my travel wardrobe and love both. I hadn’t heard of many of the other brands, so I can’t wait to go check them all out. Always looking for multi purpose, comfortable travel clothes. thanks!

Oh yes, multi-purpose is key! Glad we could introduce you to some new brands!

OMG thank you so much for writing this! We need more people promoting ethical brands. Saved this article for reference <3

Agreed! Thanks for your comment, Sandy! I hope it comes in handy.

I love this! It’s so great to hear about all of these ethical travel clothes, this introduced me to so many great brands. Thanks!

So happy to hear that, Michelle! I found out about so many new brands in the process of putting it together!

Packing for your travels can be a real headache, with many of us settling on cramming in as much as possible in the hopes of having something to wear no matter the occasion.

But now an innovative new dress claims to provide the remedy for holidaymakers who just can't help but stuff their suitcases with clothes to cover every eventuality.

Billed as the 'ultimate travel dress', the pioneering new garment covers all bases by transforming into 20 outfits, from the flashy to the more practical.

It can be worn on every day of the trip, converting into 'so many outfits both practical and dressy', says the dress's designer, Leila Rose, 31.

She said: 'The design is completely original and patented. It can be worn in 20 outfits, as a strapless dress, skirt, pants, top, mini dress and a poncho to more.'  

Buttons can be fastened at the bottom to create a jumpsuit for a more active look

A strapless dress is formed by pulling the tube section over your chest, and the buttons can be fastened at the bottom to create a jumpsuit for a more active look

For example, the strapless dress is formed by pulling the tube section over your chest with buttons, which can then be fastened to create a jumpsuit for a more active look.

And the top is formed by removing the Kameleon and putting it on tube-first until a button rests on both shoulders.

The buttons are the real key to many of the transformations, allowing the wearer to create the look of her choice.

Pants, meanwhile, can be made from the skirt by closing the buttons between the legs for a relaxed style.

And for a normal skirt the tube section can be scrunched up to the waist, or even pulled over the hips for a long gypsy-style dress.

The material is non-creasing, quick-drying, has a secret zipped travel pocket, and comes with a compression band to allow for easy packing.

It's all about the buttons: The buttons are the key to many of the designs, allowing the wearer to create the look of their choice

For Leila, the brains behind the Kameleon Rose brand, it has been an exciting adventure to bring the dress to market, all starting when she gave up her job after eight years as a doctor in Plymouth to travel around the world.

She told MailOnline Travel that it was at Lake Wanaka in New Zealand that the 'eureka moment' sprang into her head during a picnic in her favourite summer dress.

'I just wanted to sprawl and not be lady like,' she said. 

'I felt restricted by my dress and thought ''what if I added buttons to them'' so I grabbed some buttons, sewed them on, and closed up my dress.

'I pulled it down to form trousers then I just couldn't stop flipping it all sorts of ways.

'From that moment, I knew I wanted to create Kameleon Rose, a brand creating adaptable clothing for women who travel.

'However, I had no fashion experience, no business skills or money, but I had an idea I believed in.'

At the very end of her globetrotting trip Leila then arrived in Madagascar, which has a recognised textile trade, and she found just the place to settle down and grow her new business.

'Whilst I was travelling I experienced a problem that I realised I shared with most female travellers,' said the businesswoman.

Leila has built up her Kameleon Rose brand from scratch in Africa

'As women we want to look great all the time even when we are travelling and that is difficult. Either you bring technical clothing and feel like a safari guide and have nothing to wear out for dinner or you pack only stylish clothing that doesn't adapt to you active needs.

'It got me thinking that if we had an item of clothing that can transform to being practical and dressy we could stop trying to cram our entire wardrobe into our bags!'

In Madagascar Leila learnt to sew in a local school and made the first prototype of the Kameleon three years ago, managing to secure 17 contracts in her first year alone in 2013.  

After using her savings to travel the world Leila settled into life in Madagascar and learnt how to sew in a local school, making the first Kameleon prototype three years ago

But it was not all plain sailing, and the designer found she was confronted with many 'unexpected challenges'.

'I learnt the hard way about business, people took advantage of me being a foreign woman in Madagascar. I had issues with import, factories letting me down, export, production delays and plenty more,' said the designer, who found that medicine in the UK just was not making her happy.

'It's a great a career but you really have to love it otherwise it's just tough,' Leila explained to MailOnline.

'I think when I left most people thought I was a bit mad but I believe that life is about living not just plodding on. I felt trapped in medicine and that I couldn't be the person I wanted to be, I felt my creative inner being screaming to get out each day as a doctor.'

After the initial stumbling blocks in Africa Leila remained determined and originally had to start by going door to door trying to sell her products.

And the former doctor, who took the money she was saving to buy a house to travel, 'not knowing if I would come back', has won three international design awards.

'It's also funny because I left an extremely challenging career to pick another which is just as challenging!' she said.

At a cost of €75 (£65), the dress can be pre-ordered for delivery on the Kameleon Rose website

Ethical practices: Some of the proceeds from the business go to a social project to take orphan children in Africa on holiday for the first time

Kameleon Rose, Leila states, is all about creating 'freedom', whether that be in the dress itself, or by making it under ethical conditions.

She has already taken proceeds from the business to create a social project to take local children, mostly orphans who have never left their village, on holiday.

'We can assure that our products are made ethically. We know what is happening all along the chain,' she said.

The former doctor said she does not regret her life-changing decision and she thanked her 'brilliant partner who is also an entrepreneur' for helping her to grow Kameleon Rose from scratch.

'A lot of people say life is short but actually life is long, it's long to be doing something you don't like every day,' said Leila, who has high aims to make a real positive impact on the fashion industry.

The ultimate dress can currently be pre-ordered online. From spring 2017 it will be available to buy in shops across the world.

At a cost of €75 (£65), the dress can be pre-ordered for delivery on the Kameleon Rose website.

Kameleon Rose Cardigan

kameleon rose the ultimate travel pants

Choosing what to take with you when you travel can be a tough one, whether you are going for a weekend trip or long term. Personally, I always like to take a hoodie of some sort with me, not just for colder regions, but also just in case the evenings get a little chilly. But hoodies and coats can be quite bulky, making them hard to travel with, especially if you want to travel light. When Kameleon Rose brought out a 5-way cardigan I had to give it a try!

Disclaimer: I was gifted a Kameleon Rose Cardigan in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and uninfluenced in any way.

About Kameleon Rose

Kameleon Rose was the creation of Leila Rose, who realised the difficultly of finding travel clothes. As she travelled she realised how hard it is to find travel clothing for women that is practical, comfortable and stylish. Because of her frustrations, she created the Kameleon Rose Ultimate Travel Dress (you can read my review of the travel dress here ). Since then Kameleon Rose featured on Dragon’s Den (in which Leila was successful in receiving investment) and Kameleon clothing now has a range of convertible travel gear including the Kameleon Rose 5-Way Cardigan, Ultimate Travel Pants and a 4-Way Shirt.

The clothes available from Kameleon Rose are made in factories in Madagascar and Mauritius. The factories are WRAP certified, which means that they are ethical as they have twelve principles that must be adhered to. These principles are based on generally accepted international workplace standards, local laws and workplace regulations. The principles are there to ensure that the factories maintain lawful, humane and ethical conditions for the workers.

The Cardigan

The Kameleon Rose 5-Way Cardigan is and item of travel clothing that can be converted into different styles. It can be worn as a cardigan or hoodie, with or without a hood. The cardigan is available in two colours; black or grey.

Made from 51% cotton and 49% polyester, the cardigan is stretchy, non-creasing and easy to care for. Kameleon Rose states that the cardigan is temperature regulating. There are also thumb holes and a hidden pocket.

My Kameleon Rose Cardigan Review

As I love my Kameleon Rose Dress, I was so excited to be receiving a Cardigan. When I received the cardigan, the first thing I noticed was how soft the material is. I had chosen the grey cardigan, which is a medium grey and I find that it goes with anything.

I found the hidden pocket to be a little on the small side, the same point I made with the dress. You can only really fit a few cards in there and maybe a bit of money. But you have no chance of stowing away your phone. The larger pockets on the outside are more suitable for a phone but with no way of fastening them, I will only use them if my hands are in there holding my phone too.

The Hidden Pocket Is Suitable For Cards And Money, But Won’t Fit My Phone In

One more slight negative is that I can find it difficult to stow away the hood sometimes. You have to roll it up perfectly or it looks odd. Luckily, the other half is much more patient than me and has no trouble doing it for me.

I Can Find It Tricky To Stow The Hood Away, But I Like The Style

On a positive note, I absolutely love about the cardigan is the thumb holes. My hands get cold very easily, so this really helps with keeping them warm.

I’m All About The Thumbholes With The Kameleon Rose Cardigan

Since I received the cardigan, I have taken it with me on several trips. This has included winter travels and adventures to warmer climes. The cardigan is perfect for when it gets a little chillier at night and warm enough when in colder areas. In fact, when there’s wind I’d say it’s actually warmer than my coat. I have also worn the cardigan casually and to smarter events. It really is a versatile item of clothing.

My Score – 5/5

What can I say, I love the Kameleon Rose Cardigan and so it gets full marks. Despite the small negatives I found, overall it is a great piece of travel clothing and it has become a staple in my travel wardrobe . It suits any occasion and can be used in any climate.

For me, travel clothing should be stylish, comfortable, easy to care for and come with hidden pockets. This cardigan has all those points. It doesn’t crease, is so soft, stretchy and warm. Although I will say it’s not as quick-drying as the Kameleon Rose travel dress, but being an outer layer it doesn’t need washing as often so that doesn’t cause an issue.

I tend to wear it mainly as a cardigan and only change to a hoodie when I’m feeling cold. In all the styles I love the cardigan and will definitely keep taking it with me on my adventures.

Convertible travel clothing

Convertible travel clothing has become a great love and a slight obsession since I started becoming more interested in travel fashion, even before I started blogging.

It all started when I came across the Chrysalis Cardi when I started doing research for a round the world trip I was hoping to plan (this was in spring 2018 with a tentative plan for spring 2020 – I guess it’s good it didn’t work out). The Chrysalis Cardi is a convertible infinity scarf made by Encircled, with quite a clever set-up including 3 sets of snaps that allow you to convert the scarf into different dresses, a cardigan, a poncho, a top and a few versions of a scarf. 

After this discovery, I scoured the internet for more options for convertible clothing, because – let’s face it – there aren’t a lot of travel clothing options for women that transition nicely from day to evening, but I couldn’t justify bringing something fancy “just in case” when I only had 40L to fill.

My first purchase of convertible travel clothing was the ultimate travel dress from Kameleon Rose (and I have subsequently bought the 5 way cardigan as well). The dress can be up to 20 different outfits including a few dresses, tops and skirts. This one came on our trip to Europe, as did the cardigan (as my main warm layer) and they both served me well in their versatility. They don’t pack quite as small as I’d like, but the dress was the only one brought and I wore the cardigan most days so I got around this fact. 

However, I wanted to further decrease the amount of space I required during travel for my nicer convertible clothing so I could maximize space usage and decrease my pack weight as much as possible.

Enter, Diane Kroe. She runs a sustainable travel clothing company out of Toronto with ethically made clothing in beautiful fabrics that all have multiple ways that they can be worn. After reviewing other travel clothing websites, I decided I needed something of hers for our Europe trip to improve my travel wardrobe without adding too much bulk. For that trip, I settled on a Carry-On Cozy and the Flip Suit and I’ve never looked back. The Carry-On Cozy is a scarf with snap tape strategically placed so you can convert it into multiple items, and the Flip Suit is a magical bathing suit that can be a 1 or 2 piece suit as well as a layering piece or a skirt when needed.

These 2 items made my life quite a bit easier on the road, giving me more options to create dressier looks (and multiple bathing suits!) without requiring a lot of extra space in my bag. I have since bought and been gifted a few more items, including the butterfly wrap ,  the one 4 all top , the travel tights , the evermore tunic,  the wrap top and the origami dress .  I also have a bangle bracelet , which goes with a few of my other items to make even more stylings.

Diane Kroe How To Wear a Convertible Travel Butterfly Dress

I bought this item prior to going on a trip to Cuba and it was an awesome cover-up during the day over my bathing suits as well as a nice layer over a dress in the evening. Mine is sheer so needed something under it but it’s beautiful and versatile.

I got this for my birthday this past summer and it’s probably my favourite top to wear now. It’s incredibly comfortable, I wear it at least once a week and even wear it to work. I mostly wear it as a long sleeved top but have worn it in most of the configurations above. Mine is black but I’m hoping to get another colour soon!

Never have to choose between leggings or a skirt again! These fold-over Travel tights give you the best of both worlds. Easy & Elegant. Pack Light.

These were a recent purchase as I tried to get them before my trip to Cuba as well but the fit wasn’t quite right so I had to send them back for resizing. I must say, despite the no returns policy (because everything is made to order), they are very accommodating when you need a size adjustment. Again, one of the comfiest pieces of clothing I own, great for travelling and lounging in, but also nice enough for work or going out.

I got the evermore tunic for my birthday as well, in the blue art deco print. It’s the perfect summer item, easily transitioning from a sleeved to sleeveless dress when it gets cool, and doubling as a skirt if you want it to! I think I wore it in every configuration in Cuba.

This was a Christmas present from my mom, and it’s such a lovely top. So far, it’s mostly been a sweater for cool nights on holidays but I also wore it as a shrug at my brother’s wedding in February. The Spa fabric is so soft and luxurious, I don’t want to take it off!

I got this item for Christmas as well, and it served me well on our Cuba trip as well as at a recent wedding. It can be so many versions of a dress as well as a cute top, the above diagram doesn’t even show them all! I love to wear mine as a strapless dress and a long sleeved top with my travel tights.

All in all, all my convertible travel clothing has served me well during the trips we’ve taken in the last year. I also feel I’ve built up a nice base wardrobe that I could choose from for just about any trip I’d like to take in future! Of course, I have my eye on more items (like the 4 way shirt from Kameleon Rose and the evermore top from Diane Kroe) and will be planning some more purchases in the near future.

Note: none of the links in this post are affiliate links and all opinions are my own. I also purchased all items myself. I just want everyone to enjoy their clothing as much as I do! Happy travels!

Travel light, comfortable & stylish with KameleonRose – the ultimate travel dress

Do you think looking fashionable and stylish can be combined with feeling comfortable, dressing practical and packing light at the same time? It saddens me to say that I see so many people during my travels who look and dress practical, lacking any style or sense of fashion! Don’t get me wrong I love wearing flipflops and sneakers because they are so comfortable, I almost don’t accessorize at all during my trips, and hate those itchy clothes and tight dresses that limit my movement and make me feel sweaty. But that doesn’t mean I have to wear cargo pants and wide shirts either, right?

kameleon rose the ultimate travel pants

I love flowy skirts, tops, poncho’s and practical dresses which are comfortable while hiking and exploring, and still make me feel feminine and stylish along the way.As you might know I have worked in fashion for many years so I always had enough clothing!

As fashion and travel are my 2 biggest passions it has always been a challenge to combine these 2 and still pack light. You might recognize the fact that when you’re going on a trip it’s simply impossible to choose between outfits and stay under the suitcase weight limit….That happens to me all the time!

Especially when I’m going on a weekend or mid-week trip it’s so much nicer when I can take my carry-on, which doesn’t have to be checked in, but can only hold so many outfits..

But I’m happy to tell you I found a solution for this, which I simply must share with you. It’s called: The Kameleon convertible dress of KameleonRose !

Kameleon Rose convertible travel dress

When I was surfing the web a few weeks ago I saw this amazing dress, bat wing top and flared skirt which turned out to be just 1 item, all in one!

See how it works here:

I found out that it was called: ‘ the Kameleon’ because of it’s versatility, and is actually perfect for fervent travelers like me who are practical, but still want to look stylish on the way!

They call it the ultimate travel dress , and I can only agree with that after wearing it on my last trip. I found it comfortable, practical and really versatile.

The award winning patented design can be worn as 20 different outfits, as you can see here below worn by me and one of my friends in our favourite ways:

I love to wear it as a classic or halter dress,

You can wear it as a batwing top the way beautiful Ari is rocking it

Or as a long flared skirt, as I am wearing it here:

Next to this I was able to convert it into at least 3 different types of dresses, 5 different tops, a poncho and many more outfits, by adjusting the buttons.

This dress designed by fervent traveler and stylish travel sista Leila Rose has many unique features. What I liked most about this item is that it’s:

Convertible,

Easy to pack,

Feels very comfortable,

Dries quickly,

Doesn’t crease,

And is sustainable

It’s produced in Madagascar and made of a comfortable smooth jersey consisting of 95% polyester and 5% elastane for additional stretch comfort.

And as it’s actually designed especially for travelers it includes a secret zipped secure travel pocket and integrated elastic compression band to roll it up and pack into your carry-on or backpack easily.

It comes in 4 different colors at the moment and costs €75 ! Unbelievable price for 20 different outfits all in one right?

And what do you prefer wearing during your travels?

Very curious to hear your experiences and opinion about this new style! Just leave a comment below…

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

Now that the coldest months of the year are behind us, I, like many travel lovers, am ready to come out of hibernation and start planning some warm-weather trips. On a particularly warm day lately, I excitedly brought my summer fits out of storage — of course, spring weather is always changing, and I didn’t get to wear them for long! Fortunately, there are tons of versatile travel pants on the market that are perfect for nippy spring days and keep their cool well into the summer. To make things even better, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is on right now, with discounts over 50 percent off on top-rated travel gear . 

As an outdoor gear specialist, I pride myself on digging up the best deals on travel clothing that will make the most of your precious luggage space. From joggers that effortlessly walk the line between athletic clothing and casual pants to some of the coziest leggings on the market, these picks are must-haves for travelers. Want to stay comfortable and stylish, all while saving room in your suitcase for souvenirs? Keep scrolling for the very best travel pants deals of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. 

Libin Women's Cargo Joggers

When I can’t decide what to wear on dense travel days, I reach for a pair of joggers just like this one. These jack-of-all-trades bottoms boast UPF 50 sun protection, a water-resistant coating, and five convenient pockets with zippers and snaps. That’s perfect for a day on the trail; lightweight, stretchy fabric makes them equally suited to catching trains or strolling around town. As a person with a closet full of similarly-colored outdoor gear, I also love that these joggers come in 13 easily styled colors to personalize your fit. 

Anrabess Women's Linen Pants

When I’m on the go and the weather is beautiful, I gravitate toward linen — it never goes out of style. Lightweight and naturally moisture-wicking, it’s the perfect fabric for summer adventures, and this pair of linen pants is up for the job. Wide-leg pants are wonderful on breezy days, and they’re plenty stylish, too. A long drawstring keeps them secure as you explore and adds a fun detail to this classic look. Make sure to grab what will surely be your favorite summer pants now while they’re over 40 percent off.

Skechers Women's Go Walk Pant

Another pair of pants that defy definition, these comfortable all-rounders are a must for travelers looking to balance the feel of leggings with the functionality of pants. With a hefty number of perfect five-star reviews, this pair is a clear favorite. I talk a lot about pockets; they’re practically a non-negotiable for me. Thankfully, this pair has four in total, plus moisture-wicking fabric and a UPF 40 sun protection rating. A classic pair of leggings is a wardrobe staple, but I love the slight flare in the legs on this pair that gives them a unique touch. If you’re looking at a long flight or train journey in your upcoming travels, the specialized flatlock seams on this pair make them more than worth it, minimizing chafing and irritation when you’re squeezed into a seat for hours.

Colorfulkoala Women's High Waisted 7/8 Length Leggings

With a whopping 37,000 five-star reviews, it’s an understatement to say that these leggings are a fan favorite. Customers rave about their buttery-soft fabric, roomy pockets, and confidence-inspiring waistband, all of which make this pair a perfect match for any globetrotter. I love to throw a pair of leggings into my bag whenever I’m on the go — I’m a big advocate of rolling clothes instead of folding them to squeeze extra room out of a suitcase, and I’ve always found that leggings like these pack down impressively small. Of course, you’ll only need to worry about packing these leggings if you can muster the strength to take them off, and with this pair’s ultra-soft fabric and wide, comfy waistband, that may never be an issue.

UEU Women's Casual Lounge Pants

These flowy, lightweight lounge pants are another no-brainer for any traveler. I love this pair’s wide-leg silhouette — it gives you plenty of room to move, but can easily be dressed up when the occasion arises. Impressed by their versatility, one five-star reviewer wrote, “I literally went from lounging around the house all afternoon in them to simply adding a cute sweater and heading out to dinner.” For travelers looking to create a flexible capsule wardrobe , a pair of pants like this that are stylish but functional goes a long way. To sweeten the deal, this pair is a steal at 53 percent off at Amazon. 

The Gym People Women's Joggers

These joggers are right in the sweet spot for travel, riding the line between pants and leggings. Sometimes, I feel sportier than I’d like when I wear athletic-looking joggers or leggings abroad, so this sleek pair is a perfect compromise for me. I’m definitely not the only one with this take, since this pair boasts over 15,000 five-star reviews. Shoppers say the super-soft fabric is great for practically any occasion, and their flattering cut doesn’t hurt, either. In particular, I appreciate this pair’s wide, stretchy waistband, which keeps them comfortable for all-day wear. 

Eddie Bauer Women's Rainier Pant

I’ve always loved Eddie Bauer’s stylish, functional outdoor apparel, and these pants are another stellar offering from the brand. Lightweight, quick-drying fabrics are so important for long-term travel when laundry becomes an issue — in many places, dryers aren’t readily available, and no one wants to wait hours for thick cotton pants to slowly drip dry. These pants get you back to the fun parts of your trip fast, and they also protect you from the elements with a high-quality durable water resistant coating and UPF 50 sun protection. Best of all, Eddie Bauer uses Bluesign-certified fabrics in these pants, meaning that they’re a sustainable choice. Oh, and they’re 30 percent off, too. 

Outdoor Ventures Women's Rain Pants

These waterproof rain pants are about as packable as it gets — in fact, they come with a convenient storage bag to make them the ultimate rough-weather travel addition. When I’m traveling, I want to see the sights rain or shine, and at the cost of a tiny corner of my suitcase, these lightweight rainpants are completely worth it. This pair isn’t just water- and wind-proof — they’re also plenty breathable, thanks to specially engineered fabric that keeps you from getting clammy. Of course, you’re not going to want to wear rain pants all day; that’s why this pair sports two half-leg zippers so they’re easy to put on and take off without removing your shoes. 

Lee Men's Extreme Motion Pant

These pants look solidly dressy, but looks can be deceiving — because of their cotton/spandex blend and flex waistband, these pants allow tons of movement, all in a stylish package. Lee markets these pants as the pair for any occasion, and customers agree. One satisfied five-star reviewer wrote, “Whether I'm sitting at my desk or running errands around town, these pants move with me effortlessly,” and added that they still manage to look professional enough for work meetings. Two particularly adaptable colorways — navy and painter grey — are marked down 59 percent right now, so grab this pair while you can.

Amazon Essentials Men's Performance Stretch Knit Jogger Pant

If maximizing comfort is your game, these joggers are the way to go. I’ve been spending a ton of time on the road lately, and though I tried to fight it, I realized a pair of deeply comfortable, stretchy pants are unbeatable for travel. Four-way stretch fabric allows these pants to easily move and flex with you — of course, for me, that means curled up in a hotel room after hours behind the wheel. Luckily, this pair’s soft knit fabric is excellent for lounging. When you eventually decide to brave the outside world, an interior drawcord and moisture-wicking finish will keep you (literally) high and dry. 

ATG by Wrangler Men's Convertible Trail Jogger

I don’t know if these pants from Wrangler’s outdoor apparel line are joggers, hiking pants, or casual slacks — frankly, I think it’s all of the above. What I can say is that they’re a heck of a deal for a pair that covers so many bases. An integrated belt and ankle drawcords makes these pants some of the most adjustable I’ve ever seen. I love joggers, but sometimes a wider leg is great for shedding heat, and with these pants, you don’t have to choose. They’re also packed with other important features like UPF 30 sun protection, zipper pockets, and my favorite, vented knees for keeping cool on active days. Somehow, despite all their technical details, these pants still look great. Even better, they’re currently 40 percent off on Amazon.

Sailwind Men's Drawstring Linen Pants

Ditching the typical flowy shape of linen pants in favor of a modern straight cut, these pants put the comfort of linen into a casual package. Perfect for the beach, a dinner date, or anywhere in between, these pants are light, airy, and as comfortable as it gets. The shape of these pants makes them incredibly versatile for trips abroad — linen pants are bound to have a beachy look, but because of their slim, flattering legs, these pants could also easily pass as far dressier. If you plan to head anywhere warm this summer, I would definitely add this pair to the shopping cart. 

Unionbay Men's Rainier Travel Tech Chino Pants

Another pair of shapeshifters for the list, these pants are styled to look like classic chinos, but under the surface, they’re high-performance hiking pants. Durable, stretchy nylon helps them stand up to the rigors of travel, all while staying soft and breathable. Water-repellent and with a UPF 50 rating, these super-light, super-packable pants are a jet-setter's dream. This pair’s mesh-lined side pockets are a particularly nice touch — it’s easy to get warm when you’re walking big miles like is common in European cities, so ventilation in the pockets goes a long way. Beyond their stellar features, these chino/hiking pant chameleons are on sale for over 50 percent off, making them an easy choice for savvy shoppers. 

Columbia Men's Narrows Pointe Pant

These streamlined hiking pants are another instant travel favorite. Columbia is well-known in the outdoor world for their high-quality apparel and gear, and these pants are no exception. Utilizing the brand’s special Omni-shield and Omni-shade technology, this pair sheds rain, dries quickly, and protects from harmful UV rays. Even better, though, these pants are so casual, you’d hardly know they were hiking pants. Two side pockets and one zippered thigh pocket give them enough utility to be perfect for any travel destination, and with their laid-back cut, no one will bat an eye if you wear them for dressier occasions. 

Frogg Toggs Men's Classic Pro Rain Pant

They may not win you any fashion competitions, but if you’re heading somewhere rainy and want a pair of waterproof pants on standby, these are the way to go. On a two-week hike that rapidly turned into a two-week wade through ankle-deep water after nonstop thunderstorms, these pants kept me shockingly dry, and I’ve recommended them ever since. Rain pants aren’t always a necessity, but when they come in handy, they really come in handy — this pair is so lightweight and packable, I love to keep them in my bag for peace of mind, especially while they’re on sale for $20.
