Audrey Hepburn Approved: 2 Ways To Wear These Zella Pants

I’m of the camp that thinks when you find a Good Black Pant, you keep the Good Black Pant. Audrey Hepburn agrees. 😉

I fell in love with these slim black trousers from my recent Zella try-on and immediately wanted to experiment with styling them up. And since they’re not your typical dress pant, I wanted to test them out with fancier pieces, as well as an everyday sporty look.

Top (M) | Pants  (M) | Shoes | Bag

One cool detail about these Zella High Waist ankle pants is that they’re made from a technical fabric, as expected from an athletic brand like Zella. Surprisingly, they still read as polished work pants, yet are comfy and easy to wear. Perfect for travel, too! No fussy fabrics here.

These pants feel particularly fresh, I think, because they’re slim . The silhouette leans towards a vintage vibe, like something Audrey Hepburn would have worn. Which is why they’re perfect for ballet flats (which I normally hate – these heels are as close as I get).

Outfit 1: Zella Pants + Pretty Top + Gold Sandals

Top (M) | Pants  (M)

This fab Farm Rio floral top arrived just in time to style up with the pants, and omg I wasn’t expecting to love the combo, but I do! It’s so lovely and statement making, and would be perfect for a special event. The top is shown online with the matching skirt , but the full combo is too much for this not-super-femme-all-the-time gal, so I needed to see if I could make it work.

Turns out it does. And paired with my lovely new Sezane gold woven heels …uh, so fun.

Top (M) | Pants  (M) | Shoes | Bag

Fit Notes: This top runs a little narrow through the torso but has plenty of room in the shoulders. I tried the Large, too, to see if I would prefer the fit, but I didn’t. So stick to your typical size here. It wasn’t tight in my torso just not swingy/boxy.

These pants are true to size, with a nice high rise that isn’t middle-squishing. They’re pull-on style but with an actual waistband and faux zipper placket on the front, making them feel more like a trouser than an athletic pant. I love love them and have worn them multiple times already. Wearing a M and I’m an 8/10 these days

Outfit 2: Zella Pants + Utility Jacket + Adidas

Jacket  (M) |  Pants  (M) |  Sneakers | Bag

Sporty casual is what I live in day-to-day, and those two words best describe my personal style. Many of Zella’s clothing items hit that lovely mix of sporty/athletic without being boring or basic. They have cool details that elevate their items beyond athleisure. Case in point? This lightweight Zella jacket is the most gorgeous shade of blue/grey/green and has some really special details (collar, pockets, drawstring waist, etc).

Jacket  (M) |  Pants  (M)

I’m pairing these Zella pants with low profile sneakers (my fav wider-toe-box alternative to the Sambas ), where previously we paired slim (or skinny) pants with giant, chunky sneakers.

Jacket  (M) |  Pants  (M) |  Sneakers | Bag

This tank is one of my favorites for workout or casual days. It’s soft and light and true to size, and comes in a ton of colors. I like that it’s slightly boxy and short-ish, without being cropped.

Jacket  (M) |  Tank (M) | Pants  (M)

Fit Notes: The Zella pieces (jacket and tank) both fit TTS. Unlike most Adidas sneakers, don’t size down! (I typically do 1/2 size down in most adidas styles, but not these.)

These black Zella pants for travel? Forget about it. Perfection. And I forgot to mention really easy to wear with a TON of shoe styles. Grab these for sure for any spring or summer trips coming up and thank me later!

My favorite pants I just took our trip to Scotland were my Liverpool Kelsey trousers. They are medium weight, a stretchy ponte knit, and tapered in the leg, so a slim fit, but not a legging at all. I wore them sightseeing in the cities, out to dinner, and even on the plane on the way home. They come in lots of colors, but mine are a dark plaid, which was a little more forgiving for travel than a solid black.

Thanks for sharing your comfy pants with us Angela!

I really like the Women’s Croft & Barrow Effortless Stretch Pull-On Bootcut Pants at Kohl’s. Cheap, comfy (pull-on), and look reasonably presentable if you dress them up.

I’ll definitely be checking out Vuori, Zella, and the Lululemon city pants!!

My go to pants are the Eddie Bauer Departure pants and Chicos Zenergy and also Traveler pants. No wrinkles- pack small and so comfortable!

We’re planning a trip to the Mediterranean in April of next year. I’m a Florida resident and I may be cold with temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s. Can you tell me which of these recommended slacks (not tights) would be a little warmer.

Hi Nikki, it’s tricky as everyones tolerance of the temperatures are different, but if you’re worried about what to wear on your flight you might find this article helpful: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-wear-on-a-plane/

We have more ideas to help with packing for Europe in April here: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/europe-in-spring/

Hope this helps and have an amazing time!

I love the Athleta Brooklyn ankle pants for travel! They weigh next to nothing (also pack down very small), are pull-on style so nothing to dig into your waist when sitting for hours on a plane, have pockets, a smooth front and can be dressed up or down. I’m heading to Italy for 2 weeks in June and I’m wearing a pair and packing only one or two other pairs of these (all in black) because we’re doing carry on only. I had a terrible time finding pants that would work for travel to a warm destination because I have a small waist but bigger hips/thighs and most pants look sloppy on me if they fit my hips but then hang or gap through the waist. These fit perfectly without needing any alterations or hemming. Highly recommend!

Thanks for sharing your review of your Athleta pants with us Diane!

Thanks to you I’ve been an Anatomie wearer for many years but recently with heat waves becoming more common, I’ve loved the looser Pashko Serene and Eddie Bauer Departure ankle pants for flights and summer active travel. Both can be dressed up or down so just as versatile as the Skyler.

Turns out I have worn on the fly lululemons for years! Nice to have my choice validated. And after reading your other posts on pants – I’m now an Anatomie convert( Though I wish there was a petite length) Thanks for terrific posts that I’m consulting to guide my travels after retiring…..

I found another great pair of travel pants that fit petites well. They are the Athleta Brooklyn pants. They come in petite sizes & they are so comfy to travel with & look great dressed up. I wore them to Israel & Paris.

On your recommendation, I bought to pair of JJill ponte knit pants. They were perfect, not only for the plane rides. I looked very put together on my trip, Thanks!

Yay, that is brilliant Jan!! So pleased your JJill Ponte pants worked out so well for you. Hope you had an awesome time on your trip!

Other good “airplane pants” brands include Eddie Bauer, Columbia, and Target’s C9 (made by Columbia). I prefer pants without a zipper, for flat front under tops AND quick and easy bathroom stops. Also, pants with a zipper are NOT comfortable for overnight flights or long train rides.

I travel for 5-6 weeks in a carry-on with 3 pair of Eddie Bauer nylon/spandex pants that are quick-dry for in-room laundry. Black, charcoal, light grey, and navy (wear one, pack three. For Asia I take Eddie Bauer nylon/spandex capris, I’m too old for shorts. Bauer is now selling slim-leg pants, they look nice and pack small.

I actually do wear leggings, but under a maxi skirt. I am always cold on planes, so they keep my legs warm and the maxi is flows enough that I can wrap it around my legs as a blanket.

Hi Andrea, thank you for sharing your travel outfit for flying with us, sounds awesome and comfy!! 🙂

Which pair is on the person whose legs are crossed in the photo titled “Comfiest Airplane Pants”?

Hi Kathy, unfortunately the product sold out some time ago so We’re not sure of the brand. Sorry we could not have been more helpful. 🙁
