The Travel Pants Jessica Alba Calls as Comfy as Sweatpants

Celebrities don’t really travel like most of us do. We can’t picture them in a cramped middle seat in coach or waiting in a mile-long line just to board. And when we initially heard from Jessica Alba last week about her travel outfit of choice, we started to wonder how different we are. That was, at least, until she explained a bit further.

You see, in Who What Wear’s Facebook live interview with the first-time designer, who just recently launched her denim collection with DL1961, Alba told us she loves to travel in leather jeans, specifically the No. 3 Instasculpt Skinny. “I’m not going to say it’s like sweatpants, but I’m totally going to say it’s like sweatpants,” Alba told us, adding that she’d style them with a big cashmere sweater. “They’re so comfortable.”

That’s a pretty hefty claim, but we can’t help but be intrigued. After all, while celebrities might not travel exactly like the masses, they do travel an awful lot, and we wouldn’t mind taking a page from their book.

Below, we’ve shopped Jessica Alba’s ideal (and surprising) travel outfit, in case you’re ready to give it a try.
