Every time I fly with my mother, I'm reminded of how put-together her airport style really is, and how not mine can be. I'm as loyal to sweatpants as she is to her favorite pair of jeans, which she swears are just as cozy.

While I'll likely never show up to a 7 a.m. boarding time in a blazer (as she would), I've been trying to upgrade my flight uniform without sacrificing comfort. Fortunately, I found one key piece for that equation: Alo's Sway Bootcut Sweatpants that look so much more elevated than my classic styles.

The Sway sweatpants, which are from my go-to travel brand, are a more fitted and tailored look than your average sweatpants. The medium weight material is the perfect in-between fabric, since it doesn't feel too thick or too thin. The bootcut silhouette elongates my legs for a flattering look, and the cotton modal blend feels buttery-soft against my skin.

I often struggle to find bootcut pants that are long enough but still fit my waist. This pair manages to check both of those boxes. The length hits at just the right spot so they don't sweep against the floor or look like floods, while the drawstring waistband is adjustable to help me get the perfect fit.

The sweatpants are versatile, too, and easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. I've styled mine with white sneakers and a fitted tee for an everyday errand run, and worn them with an oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy boots for a cozy flight look that keeps me warm under the harsh plane air conditioning.

Shoppers are similarly "obsessed" with the style that fits "perfectly snug" and is "incredibly flattering." One customer said they "could wear [the sweats] everyday," while another added that they love them so much, they're "about to get a second pair."

Head over to Alo's site to shop the flattering and comfortable style, or keep scrolling to browse more sweatpants that will elevate your airport wardrobe, including some of my own personal favorites like the Accolade Sweatpants.
