Durability
There’s no way around it: these are expensive pants, coming in at over $200. However, when you consider price per wear, it’s much more feasible. Readers who own these pants can’t seem to wear them enough. And even after countless wears, they’ll still look new.
One reader says, “I adore the Skyler skinnies from Anatomie. They are not cheap, but they pack into almost nothing and are good value when looking at cost-per-wear and quality. And Anatomie has excellent customer service. I’m a die hard fan now!”
Another reader adds, “I’m so sick of clothes pilling and fading, and these high quality gems are great in this way and so many others.”
Style
If we had to rank the features of these pants, the style would be at the top of the list. As one reader says, “They are great! Super light and super versatile. I call them my magic pants! I have been traveling in Italy for a little over a week and I’ve been wearing these or jeans only!”
We agree that they’re magic pants to add to your capsule wardrobe because they fit so many body types and are flattering. Best of all, you can dress them up or down. For one, you can wear them for business occasions.
As one reader says, “I always bring these on my business trips. They are perfect for dressing up or down. The fabric is amazing – slightly stretchy but not shiny and they look non-stretchy so it’s perfect for so many venues and for travel.”
However, you can easily dress them down for rugged travel. Another reader shares, “I did a four-day Inca trail trek last week and wore them, plus I plan to wear them this week in Buenos Aires. They are so comfy, versatile, go with everything, and are lightweight.”
Comfort and Mobility
The fabric makes the Anatomie Skyler skinny pants some of the most comfortable pants for travel. One reader says, “I cannot wait to save up and get another pair of because the fabric has some amazing stretch to it and they’re incredibly comfortable.”
These pants have a slight stretch so they conform to your body without feeling or looking tight. As one reader says, “I enjoy my Anatomie Skyler pants. They’re pretty good for not getting baggy knees, and they ‘refresh’ after a quick dunk in some water and dry very quickly.”
Lastly, along with comfort, they’re easy to pack. They fit easily into a slim packing cube and hardly weigh anything at all. One reader says, “These pants have magic fabric! They work in the cold and the heat, plus they are easy to pack.” Another adds, “I also cannot say enough about their lightweight quality. They’re a godsend, as I’ve grown to hate bringing jeans for travel due to how much space they take up.”
Pros
The Skyler Anatomie pants come with a long list of pros, but we can sum it up in a few words: comfortable fabric, versatile style, and durability.
One reader says, “Three pairs roll and weigh less than one pair of my jeans. I can wash them in a sink and they dry overnight. I can wear them to travel, work, or out with friends. They’re the most expensive item I own, but they are my go-to over and over again. In the one year since my first pair, I’ve worn them easily 100 times.”
Another reader adds, “You can dress them up or down, they’re quick to wash and dry, they provide a beautiful fit, and they still look great after three years of long-term travel and at-home wear. Thanks to these, I only travel with two pairs of pants and one pair of leggings for two-month long trips! These are fantastic!”
Cons
The biggest con is the price. At $225, these are some of the most expensive travel pants. Many readers recommend checking out Athleta pants for affordable things like Anatomie Skyler pants that are less than half the price.
Additionally, some readers mentioned they had trouble finding the right fit and size.
It’s best if you order from a site that offers easy returns in case you need to try on multiple sizes. As one reader says, “The Anatomie pants so far have been amazing, although it took me a few tries before I found the style that’s right for my body shape.”
Just as with most other clothing brands, it might take a couple of tries before you get the right size and fit.
Verdict
Despite the cost and fit struggle, just about every reader agreed that they’re worth the investment. One reader says, “I love, love, love the Anatomie Skyler pants. They’re the most expensive pair of pants I’ve ever purchased, but I swear they’re worth it. I have black and gray and bring them on every travel adventure. They pack down to nothing, dry in a flash, look fantastic, go with everything, and they’re incredibly sturdy.”
But perhaps one reader sums up these pants best: “SO expensive, but SOOO worth it!”
If you’re looking for a go-to pair of travel pants you can rely on for years and know they’ll look good in just about any environment, these are worth the investment!

Thanks for the detailed information about Anatomie pants. I’ve been searching for the right pants that are versatile enough to wear for different occasions while traveling.
Congratulations on 10 Years of TFG! Your website and social media pages are invaluable to me and I have appreciated them so much since I discovered them in early 2013! The Anatomie Skyler pants look amazing! I would love to have a pair! I love the jacket too!
I just bought my first pair. They really are the best pants. But they are tight at the waist.I am going to try the next size up XL and see how they are. I love the fit everywhere else, I don’t want them to be baggy. I am also going to try the Alena and see if that fits my body. The material is amazing. Really do love them!
The Anatomie Skylar pants look terrific on you! Can’t wait to try some on my next adventure!
My favorite pair of travel pants is getting shabby and I thought I would just get another pair since they are comfy. Alas, they don’t make them anymore. They weren’t a high quality brand, so I may try these so I don’t have to go through the replacement hassle again.
I had a pair of favorite “travel pants” but they weren’t a high quality brand and are starting to look shabby. They were comfortable and I had planned to get a new pair but they don’t make them anymore. Frustrating. So I may have to try these and see what the buzz is about!
I love these pants. So lightweight and comfortable.
I sooooo want to try these pants so I am considering purchasing on Amazon due to return simplicity if required!
I might have to give them a try, after returning from two weeks of love to have a cuter pair that I can wash and dry in a sink overnight
I love my skyler pants. I am 62 and they still make me look good. I love that I can wash them in the sink and they are dry by morning! They travel so incredibly well! I have them in grey and I wish I had more colors!
I’ve been on the fence about spending the money on these. Your review gives me confidence in my new order. Can’t wait to try out my new travel pants!
These do look like an amazing pair of pants. I didn’t realize they were available on Amazon, too. I will definitely be checking them out.
Thank you, Alex! I love my Anatomie Skylers. They were my first purchase from your great recommendations, and after they’ve been a key part of my wardrobe for several years now. I always have two pairs ready to go, in grey and black. I have worn them all over the world, in many settings and activities. They are practical at home too, but they are investment pieces that I usually save for travel and special purposes.
The fabric that Anatomie uses for pants is remarkable. It’s sift and comfortable, lightweight and dries quickly. I can wear them on the longest travel days and they still look great. My trips sometimes take me from deep winter to the tropics and these pants make that work. I can easily flip the hem up inside to sit below the knee and suddenly I am wearing chic capris. I feel beautiful wearing them. I wouldn’t have heard about this brand without TFG. Thank you!
These are intriguing looking. Must try!
These pants look amazing! I’m going solo to Greece in February 2023 (my first solo trip)! I think these would be perfect! Thanks for the recommendation!
Alex,
Have you tried the Luisa style?
Thanks for all of your great tips!
I’m very tall and long legged. So, for cool weather travel, “ankle” pants don’t work. I’d like to try Anatomie for a fall Ireland trip but am afraid they would be too short.
I have a pair of the Skyler Travel Pants that I bought in 2017. They have become really baggy in the legs and are no longer form-fitting at all. I don’t know what happened. I didn’t lose weight or anything like that. The legs are kind of unattractive now. Has anyone else had this happen?
It says on the tag not to put them in the dryer. I was wondering if I put them in the dryer, would they shrink a little, and if the legs would go back to normal.
Hi Mel, I am really sorry about this. I am afraid that this has never happened to me so I am not sure what advice to offer to help.
We would recommend that you reach out to Anatomie. They have incredible customer service and might be able to off some suggestions to help. Just tell them you’re a Travel Fashion Girl reader!
I’ve been looking for a new pair of travel pants and I’m curious to try these! They look very cute and versatile.
In all of the photos of women wearing the Skyler pants, the women are petite and thin. Are the Skyler pants suitable for women who are larger, such as a size 14?
Hi Rebecca, we would recommend that you reach out to Anatomie for questions about sizing and shipping. They have incredible customer service and many readers have told us that they’ve spoken to them on the phone and have gotten personalized fit recommendations.

Hi Alex,
I really really want these travel pants but I don’t have the budget for them. Do you know of any other options that are similar but are closer to the $100 range?
Hi Lindsey, thank you for reaching out.

Hope this helps. Happy travels! ?
I read some reviews on Amazon and one said, they weren’t suitable for very warm climate (like Brazil or Thailand). What do you think? I always like to bring one pair of long pants even to hot countries.
Hi Barbara, the anatomie pants are not suitable for hot humid countries like Thailand unless you’re headed to the cooler north. They probably would be ideal for Brazil because the temperature varies in different parts of the country. If you’re traveling to destinations where you might experience a range of temperatures, these are your perfect practical “just in case” piece. That’s what they were on my trip to Europe in the summer. It was scorching hot most of the trip then a couple of days it was cold so these were awesome to have because they didn’t take up much space to have in my bag prepared for the colder days despite the fact that the majority of my clothing was for the heat. Please read this post on how I packed for 2 weeks for Europe in the summer for more info: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/clothing-for-2-weeks-in-europe-summer/ Happy travels!
Yes they are a little pricey BUT for a size 12 girl, who travels a lot, they are so comfortable (wore them from LAX to the Maldives, 28 hrs plane ride), lightweight, can dress them up or cuff the bottoms and make capri pants out of them. I was so happy with them that I bought 3 pairs (white, blue, black). Think of it as an investment ANNNDDD they are having a Labor Day sale 25% off!! and 15% if you sign up…Happy Shopping…
That picture of you with the train in the background – what backpack were you using?
Hi Maya, the backpack is the Osprey Ozone 35L backpack, featured in this post: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/how-to-choose-the-best-travel-backpack-a-step-by-step-guide/ 🙂
Thanks. I like how it didn’t look too big on you.
