Jackie Annesley Editor, 61
Usual journey uniform Navy wide-legged cotton-jersey trousers after which layers of extra navy: lengthy linen button- down costume, T-shirt, cashmere hoodie, fingerless gloves, wool socks and sandals, large cashmere scarf. All to be discarded all the way down to the linen costume and sandals when arriving in hotter climes.
Normal denims? Frame is nice. But for travelling, I discover all denim too restrictive, too uncomfortable for hours in a teeny seat.
Travel denims? A revelation. Reminded me of being pregnant denims, however much more comfy. And they appear smarter than cotton jersey. PS: take a dimension down – these items actually s-t-r-e-t-c-h. (Other journey denims can be found, see beneath.)

Sophie Dearden Fashion director, 32
Usual journey uniform Wide-leg tailor-made trousers a dimension too large, with a vest prime and boyfriend blazer. Comfortable however stylish, although I feel my fiancé would say I appear like my garments don’t match.
Normal denims? Denim is one thing I spend money on – achieved nicely, it lasts without end. I like a relaxed denim from Agolde or Mother.
Travel denims? I heard ‘stretchy jeans’ and thought, ‘I am not wearing a jegging!’ But I can’t categorical how far these denims are from that hideous stretch denim of previous – this minimize is made to flatter. The materials seems and feels costly, the flare compliments all shapes and the large waistband holds you in with out chopping off your circulation. There are not any cumbersome pockets, simply two discreet ones on the again. I’m very stunned by how nicely they match our three very completely different physique shapes. All the consolation of our misplaced lockdown tracksuit whereas trying actually put collectively. Impressive.

Lindsay Frankel Deputy editor, 51
Usual journey uniform Super-soft Sweaty Betty yoga pants, my favorite enormous Paul Smith sweatshirt and cashmere socks – most consolation, however the form of look solely a star can carry off with any sense of fashion.
Normal denims? Uniqlo Boyfriend. I’ve had three pairs on rotation for years as a result of at 5ft 1in, with a beneficiant bum and brief physique, as soon as I discovered a mode that labored I had no plans to deviate from it. Until…
Travel denims? ‘Absolutely not. I’m too brief and large,’ was my preliminary response. And sure, there was a variety of spare material on the ground once I put them on, however they sit completely on my thighs, bum and waist and the large leg is unexpectedly flattering, making my legs look longer. I had the denims taken up for £15 on the dry cleaners to a size that works with both heels or trainers. They aren’t low-cost so it’s price paying for skilled alterations.
