Jeans are far from our first pick when it comes to our travel OOTD, but Bethenny Frankel swears she found a pair that we’ll love wearing to the airport. The entrepreneur and The Real Housewives of New York City alum took to TikTok to share her travel outfit, because she loved her pants so much.
They’re the Superwide-Leg Jeans by Madewell. And while you can shop the exact pair, we couldn’t help but notice that Madewell has an extremely similar-looking pair for 25% off at Nordstrom right now. So, it might be worth opting for the Airy Denim Drawstring Baggy Jeans to save nearly $40.
“These are my pants,” Frankel gushed. “They’re Madewell. They have a tie, and they’re wide leg, but they don’t feel too sloppy. I hate when pants are too soft and sloppy, and I don’t like when they’re crunchy. These are better than even the pajama jean vibes. They’re amazing.”
Frankel noted that the wide leg isn’t too much, and they sit well with a pair of sneakers. “I love them. I love them a lot,” she said.
Both of the baggy jeans have a light wash, but the on-sale ones have a more blue hue to them. Still, you’ll enjoy the adjustable drawstring with both pairs, which is a necessity when traveling. Both jeans are made of 61% cotton and 39% Tencel lyocell, so you can expect them to have a soft-to-the-touch feel. And yes, you can toss them in the washing machine and dryer for easy wear again and again!
Real-life reviewers say that the Airy Denim Drawstring Baggy Jeans run slightly large, which isn’t a bad thing if you plan to take a cue from Frankel and wear them to the airport.
“You can wear them baggy or get them smaller and let them actually fit,” writes one five-star reviewer. “Wide draping leg that reads a bit like bell bottoms, flattering on the tush. The best thing about them (other than the compliments) is the fabric. So soft and lightweight. Madewell knows what they are doing.”
It just might be time to ditch your usual travel leggings for travel jeans. Who would’ve thought?
