You know I’m always raving about the Anatomie Skyler travel pants for women so I thought it would be great to hear the opinions of other travel fashion girls. Natalie Choules won the Anatomie giveaway earlier this year and as today’s Anatomie Ambassador she’s filling us in on her adventures traveling with the Celine and Paola travel pants. Read on to find out which style she preferred!
Anatomie Ambassador Review
by Nicole Choules
Finding fabulous pants for travel can be challenging at the best of times but traveling around England with your 24 year old son requires fantastic, fashion forward and cool attire. Shifting from cool to classy while road-tripping to Canada’s West Coast with your husband puts some considerable demands on a travel wardrobe.
The Celine pants fit the bill completely!
The lightweight pants are slim lined and ankle length making them easy to wear and pair with a variety of tops and accessories to create different looks for almost any occasion.
Planning before packing is a necessity when you’re carrying just one bag for three weeks of travel. Key pieces like pants should be in neutrals to create a colour coordinated wardrobe. I chose the Celine pants in grey (and purchased another pair of Anatomie pants – the Paola – in black) as part of my black, white and grey palette.
They worked well with colour and pattern. The pants from Anatomie fold easily and then roll up into the lightest little cigar that tucks neatly into my “bottoms only” packing cube. No worries about creases either with these pants as any wrinkles fall out of them almost as soon as you put them on.
When I’m planning for travel I check out average weather and temperatures and try to pack so that I can layer pieces for ease and for comfort.
The fabric used in pants from Anatomie is lightweight for hot summer days and dries quickly for those days when the sun just won’t shine!
During this long, hot summer I was grateful for light-wearing pants.
That fabric makes it easy to wash and dry the pants while on the road. I test drove that claim in my London hotel room after many…many wears on hot days.
Both the Celine pants and the Paola pants washed up easily in the sink of my hotel room.
They rinsed easily too and I was able to hang them to dry before rolling into bed just before 11 pm and … by 6 am the next day they were bone dry and ready to wear!
The Celine pants from Anatomie (and the Paola pants as well) are ridiculously easy to style to wear in any setting. I wore them hiking through fields of sheep in the Cotswolds and the Lake District of England, through museums, abbeys and cathedrals…on visits to archeological digs and stately homes, walking around London and eating out at some of that city’s best restaurants.
I wore them while wandering through artists’ homes and craft galleries on Galiano Island in British Columbia, while eating and drinking our way along the beautiful harbour in Victoria and while exploring Long Beach on Vancouver Island – the furthest west point of Canada. I’ve even worn them to work and to lunch with some friends! I never felt under dressed and was at ease in every setting and occasion. I loved having these pants in my bag and hauled them out more than I thought I would.
Why not? I was comfortable and could dress them up or down any day!
You can’t shake the travel bug, you can only pass it on and my family will continue to travel together for as long as we can! England with one son this year, Scandinavia with the other son next year!
I guarantee my Celine pants from Anatomie will be rolled up in my bag for next year’s European adventure…and for many trips to come. We’re used to traveling light and carrying on – lightweight clothing that folds up neatly, looks smashing and hides a multitude of sins is the only way to pack!
Pants from Anatomie have the qualities you need in great travel wear…easy wear, clean lines and fabulous design. I’m grateful for the opportunity to try out the Celine pants and delighted with the Paola pants that I purchased!

I bought the Anatomie Paola pant upon reading all of the great reviewed at TFG, and I was actually quite disappointed. I ordered based on the size chart, and the first pair I received were sooooo tight. I contacted the company, and they thankfully allowed me to exchange for the next size up. Even though they fit better, I was disappointed with the quality. Some of the stitching along the pockets and zipper came loose in the first wearing and some of the fabric puckered in odd places even when I wasn’t wearing them (= bad sewing job, not ill fit). The fabric was just ok- lightweight yes, but really thin, showing undergarments really bad, and so HOT!!! To be fair, I tried wearing them in high seventies heat, but they were unbearably hot and stuck to my skin. My medium-weight jeans were more comfortable. I will keep them in my travel rotation because I paid $225 for them, but I won’t buy another pair. I’m glad they worked for others, but not for me.
I’m sorry to hear that they didn’t work for you. Have you tried wearing them in milder weather?
Dear Alex,
As per your recommendation
, I purchased the Skyler Anatomie travel pants and love them! I ordered larger sizes because I don’t care for snug pants. I’m 5’4, 157 #, carry my weight around my belly, the gray XL is loose and the black L fits well, I do need to hem them. I love the fabric. Having bought every travel pants under the sun, I do think these are a bit more stylish and keeps me from looking like a safari traveler. Neiman Marcus had them on sale, so I lucked out!
Thanks for your suggestions, I love your website and have purchased your Packing book.
Happy Travels!
Dianne
Hi Dianne, thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂
After reading the reviews on Anatomie pants for travel I found a vendor who carries them and decided to try some on. I’m always looking for stylish, lightweight, comfy pants for travel (and daily living). I tried on just about every style and a couple of sizes. I was also trying on a number of Anatomie tops, jackets and just having lots of fun with the owner of the shop. It was probably 45 minutes later when I realized I still had on a pair of Susan Skinny Ankle Pants and could barely feel them. SOLD
They weigh next to nothing. Look fabulous. Ultra lightweight. Super cute. I bought them in gray. These are my first pair and will definitely not be my last. They are really pricey but so worth the investment.
I love love love them!!! Thanks for the wealth of information you provide.

Did you find the Anatomie’s sizing chart to be accurate? Waist? Inseam? I’m 5’2″, but not petite measurements. I got a 30″ waist, 37-8″ hips, 27-8″ inseam. Difficult to find pants that fit properly.
Hi Aldora, it’s a bit tricky because some find them to fit smaller or larger such as in this other review: https://travelfashiongirl.com/anatomie-fiora-travel-pants-review/ Take a look at this style guide to see if it helps: https://travelfashiongirl.com/style-guide-ultimate-womens-travel-pants/ Thanks!
