Fashion Fake Outs! Look Great, Feel Like You’re Wearing Sweatpants

Planes are cold, but you don't want to look like a student in your old college sweatshirt. The solution: Tart Collection's Essential Terry Blazer, which reviewers say is "like wearing your favorite hoodie (less the hood)." It looks like a business blazer, but is made of a lightweight French terry cloth, like your favorite robe.

Never be constricted by stiff denim again when you invest in a pair of PajamaJeans. These stealthy sweatpants come in all kinds of men's and women's styles from skinny to straight leg. And all have a pull-on waist, faux zipper, and are made from forgiving cotton and spandex. Hey, at least you'll look better than those people who show up to the airport in their actual pajamas.

Picture this: You're traveling for work and need to look good going from a long flight straight into a meeting when you arrive. But who wants to spend hours packed into a plane wearing an easily wrinkled, restricting suit? Makers of The Suitsy feel your pain, and have a solution.

Onesies aren't just for babies anymore—this "Business Suit Onesie" is a jacket connected to a shirt connected to pants. The whole outfit slides on as one piece (thanks to a zipper that's concealed behind the faux shirt-buttons), and the sweatpants fabric is lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant.

Pants are overrated. Feel like you're wearing your favorite sweatshirt (and nothing else) and look more than decent in public, with ExOfficio's Sol Cool Hoody Dress. You can wear the hood as a cowl tie neck to make this look like any other dress, or pop out the hood when you need it.

Although the cut is as comfortable as a sweatshirt, subtle princess seams are designed to give this dress less of a boxy shape and more of a flattering fit. Just like a good hoodie, this dress has a zip security pocket (on the side seam) to hold your phone and valuables.

I love this for beach trips, thanks to the trademarked Sol Cool Icefil knit fabric, which can decrease your temperature by five degrees when you sweat. (And, it has UPF protection to block the sun.)

What do you get when you merge yoga pants with jeans? Joga Jeans, pants "made with a unique double-faced stretch weave, the top is woven like traditional denim and the underneath is a plush knit." Now you can head straight from the plane into a yoga class without missing a step.

Things I like to pack when I fly: a long cardigan, a wrap sweater, a travel blanket, and a scarf. But why pack four separate pieces when I can just bring one amazingly comfortable and versatile piece instead? Crane and Lion's Wrap Sweater can function as all those and more—it can actually be worn as seven different types of sweaters (see here for instructions on how to do them all), plus works as a blanket, head/shoulder covering for visiting churches, beach blanket, beach cover up, and more. I travel everywhere with it, since it's so lightweight (and also machine washable).

I'm not really sure what this says about the health of our society, but I'm getting the sense that our culture is rejecting clothing with restrictive waistbands. (Turns out, my hunch was correct.)

For pants you can actually move in, check out Betabrand's Dress Pant Yoga Pants, which are exactly what the title implies. These stretchy rayon pants have fake zippers and pockets, a non-functional button, and an elastic waistband. They come in all kinds of styles (including leggings and boot-cut) and colors, so you could theoretically replace all of your normal pants with these.
