These stretchy and breathable styles make traveling infinitely more pleasant.

Whether you're traveling long-distance by air, taking a 3-hour train ride, or embarking on a coast-to-coast road trip, dressing comfortably is key to making the experience of getting from point A to point B enjoyable. And one of the best things you can wear is a good pair of travel pants.

You want trousers that are lightweight, made of breathable material (think: cotton, polyester, or linen), and designed in such a way that they don't feel constricting around your waist. Yet, it's also important to keep in mind that there is a fine line between comfortable and too comfortable. Sometimes, styles that offer a free range of motion tend to fall on the schlumpy side of things, but fortunately for you, we did our research and scoured the internet for sleek and stretchy bottoms that won't sacrifice fashion for function.

Ahead, 12 of the best men's travel pants that provide first-class comfort.
