The short answer: leg width and sizing decide it
Both the Perfect Plane Pants and the Superwide Sweatpant are wide-legged styles made from POPFLEX’s signature ultra-soft Ooey Gooey fabric, so the real decision comes down to how much volume you want in the leg and how you want to handle sizing. The Perfect Plane Pants run slightly big according to the Fit Stylist Tip, while the Superwide Sweatpant is described as ultra-wide. If you want a cozier, more relaxed look with less guesswork, the Superwide is the clearer pick. If you prefer a wide leg that feels a bit more streamlined and are willing to size down, the Perfect Plane Pants is the one to try.

How to choose based on your plans
- For travel days: The Perfect Plane Pants are positioned as a travel-friendly wide leg, but the sizing tip means you should consider sizing down for a closer fit. If you prefer an easier fit without sizing adjustments, the Superwide Sweatpant may be more straightforward.
- For rest days and lounging: The Superwide Sweatpant’s ultra-wide leg and ‘laid back and luxe’ description make it a natural pick for maximum comfort at home.
- For a more polished wide-leg look: The Perfect Plane Pants’ wide (not ultra-wide) leg may read slightly less voluminous, which can work better if you want to pair them with a sweater for a comfy ’fit that still looks put-together.
- On a budget: At catalog prices, the Superwide Sweatpant is USD 48.19 versus USD 58.65 for the Perfect Plane Pants, so the Superwide is the lower-cost option.
What the catalog does not confirm
The supplied records do not include care instructions, fabric composition details, rise, inseam measurements, or stretch information for either style.
