My favorite Athleta Endless pants for work and travel are on sale from $28

Athleta's sale includes my favorite stretchy work pants for as low as $28. I own four pairs of the Endless pants, so I always travel in comfort.

If a piece of clothing is good enough, I'll happily buy it on repeat. Case in point: I own four pairs of Athleta's Endless High Rise Pants, my go-to bottoms for everything from working from home to long-haul flights. My original pair was a press sample sent to me from the brand, but I loved them so much that I bought three more.

Until Wednesday October 28, the Endless High Rise Pants are 20% off at checkout, with select colors marked down even further. Some start at a sale price of about $40, then get an additional 30% discount, bringing the final price to $28.

Why am I so obsessed? The Endless High Rise Pants look like tailored trousers but have the stretch of athleisure, so I can wear them for hours at my desk without feeling restricted. They're versatile enough to dress up for the office or down for a casual weekend.

The wide, high-rise waistband on the Endless Pants feels supportive and stretchy enough for the long hours I spend seated on a plane.

While I think they're well worth the $109 price tag, I prefer to stock up during Athleta's frequent sales. Here's why I think they're worth buying right now:

They're the best stretchy work pants I own. They earned the top spot in our guide to work pants that feel like sweatpants thanks to a wide elastic waistband that doesn't dig in, even after long hours of sitting. Still, the faux fly and streamlined silhouette make them look like proper trousers. They're my favorite solution for days when I want to look professional without sacrificing comfort.

They're comfortable while I travel. I've now worn the Endless High Rise Pants across five continents, most recently on my honeymoon in South Africa, where my muted taupe pair accompanied me on hikes around Table Mountain and long safari drives. The recycled polyester fabric resisted wrinkles in my suitcase. The pants felt light and breathable on hot days, but were substantial enough for chillier evenings. Add in convenient zippered pockets, and these easily earned a spot in our fully tested guide to the best travel pants for women.

There are plenty of styles, colors, and sizes to choose from. The Endless collection includes straight-leg and barrel silhouettes, with petite, regular, and tall inseams available. I own the straight-leg version in black and the no-longer-available "Abalone" shade, but you can choose from nine other colors. I also have two pairs of the Endless Cargo Pants (on sale for $39.97) with extra pockets and adjustable ankle cuffs.

The bottom line

I've tested plenty of work pants over the years, but few have earned as much space in my closet as Athleta's Endless High Rise Pants. They're comfortable for home, polished for work, and practical to pack for trips around the world. At 20% off, the $109 pants come down to $87.20, and the $28 clearance options are an especially impressive deal. Just remember to act before the promotion ends on October 28.
