Being comfortable is essential when traveling.

Whether it's an extended road trip, a short flight or a long international plane ride, wearing breathable clothes can make all the difference in your travels.

The fine folks at Bluffworks know this all too well, and they're making sure you don't sacrifice style just to remain relaxed on your journey.

If you're headed for a formal event, casual meet up or just want to avoid looking like a tourist, Bluffworks has you covered.

They sell two styles of pants, the Original and the Chino. Both are stylish and will work well no matter where you go, but it's the Chino that's the true star for traveling.

Not only do these pants look good but they're also wrinkle free and "built for movement." I wouldn't recommend working out in them, but if you all of the sudden find yourself needing to do some heavy lifting or having to sprint, you won't be strained by your pants.

The flexibility is amazing for such stylish pants.

That said, the best part of the Chinos might just be the pockets. With seven in total, you can feel safe walking anywhere. Having worn these pants in multiple countries, I never had to worry about anyone pickpocketing me while walking in busy streets, crowded markets or the airport.

Each front pocket has a hidden, zippered pocket on the inside. I kept my essentials in these and left my wallet at home.

In addition to two regular back pockets, the Chinos also have a third pocket on the back of the pants that is designed perfectly for your cell phone. You'll be able to sit down without sitting on your phone. This way you can avoid having a phone outline print on the front of your pants as well.

Say goodbye to sitting uncomfortably no matter where you're at!

I prefer the khakis but they come in five other colors as well. The Chino is currently priced at $125.

And because no look is complete without a stylish jacket, Bluffworks delivers in the clutch with the Gramercy blazer.

It's made from 100 percent technical, breathable quick-dry polyester and superbly comfortable. Equipped with 10 built-in pockets (including some with zippers for added security storage), this blazer is perfect for the business traveler to pair with multiple outfits.

I recently wore it to a wedding and decided to keep it on while playing ping pong during the cocktail hour before the reception. I wanted to test this material and see just how breathable it was.

It passed the test as I remained comfortable and had no issues winning the match while playing in a blazer. (I was also wearing the Chino pants, which felt great the entire time.)

The best part of the Gramercy blazer? It's completely machine washable, so say goodbye to constant dry cleaner trips!

Get the classic fit or the slim fit depending on your style. It comes in blue or grey and is currently priced at $295.

You can also support Bluffworks' Kickstarter for "The Ultimate Travel Shirt", which is a "wrinkle-free shirt that doesn't feel synthetic and will stay fresh for five days."

Additionally, the customer service team is top-notch. My Chino pants were a size too small when I first ordered them, but after contacting the support team at Bluffworks I was able to quickly get a new pair in time before my trip.

The sizes might be a bit different from what you would select from any regular department store. Thankfully, if you need to exchange your purchase you can do so with ease.
