Plot
The movie centers around four teenage girls—Lena Kaligaris, Tabitha "Tibby" Tomko-Rollins, Bridget Vreeland, and Carmen Lowell—who are best friends and have been together all their lives in Bethesda, Maryland, but are about to separate for the summer. Lena is spending the summer in Greece with her grandparents; Tibby is staying at home; Bridget is going to soccer camp; and Carmen is visiting her father in South Carolina. On the eve of their separation, the girls visit a thrift shop and find a pair of pants that magically fits all four of them perfectly, although they have different measurements. The girls decide to share the pants equally among them over the summer as a way of keeping together when they are apart.
Lena, Tibby, Bridget, and Carmen part the next day, and the movie focuses on each girls' journey separately.
Lena
One day in Greece, Lena is sitting at the dock, drawing (while wearing the traveling pants) when she accidentally falls in the water, and the leg of the pants gets caught on something. A young man swims over and sets her free, later introducing himself as Kostas, a Greek-American like her. A couple of days later, Lena learns from her grandparents that her family and Kostas' family are sworn enemies stemming from an old family feud. Despite this, Kostas continues to pursue Lena, and the two develop feelings for each other. At first, Lena is afraid to let herself love Kostas, but eventually begins to open up, sharing rides on his motorbike through the town and going out in Kostas'grandfather's boat at midnight, to which her grandparents are oblivious.
The climax of the relationship comes one Saturday night close to the end of the summer, right before Kostas is about to leave town to return to Athens University. Kostas and Lena attend a party, and while they are dancing, Kostos tells Lena that he loves her. Before Lena can answer, Lena's family barges in, angrily pulling Lena away. Lena later confronts her grandfather and asks to go see Kostas before he leaves, to which her grandfather agrees, Lena goes to the dock and calls out to Kostos, who gets off his ship. Kostos and Lena share a passionate kiss, and Lena confesses her love for him.
Tibby
While on the job in Wallman's department store, Tibby hears a loud crashing sound, and finds a young girl who has fainted in the aisle. She frantically calls for help, and the girl is taken away in an ambulance. Later, when Lena from Greece mails the magical Pants to Tibby, they are delivered to the wrong house, and someone comes to Tibby's house to deliver them - coincidentally, Bailey Graffman, the girl who had fainted at Wallman's.
Fascinated by Tibby's movie, or "suckumentary", and her movie making, Bailey becomes Tibby's self-appointed assistant. Tibby is annoyed by this at first, but gradually grows to accept Bailey. She later learns from Bailey's neighbor that Bailey has leukemia.
Bailey eventually goes to the hospital with a bad infection. Tibby avoids the hospital for a while, but eventually visits Bailey, bringing the Traveling Pants. She offers them to Bailey and pleads with her to take them so that they can help her. Bailey responds by saying that the pants have already worked their magic on Bailey by bringing her and Tibby together. After Tibby leaves, Tibby's home receives a phone call, saying that Bailey has passed away.
When Carmen comes back home from South Carolina, Tibby visits her to try and help her with her feelings of being snubbed by her father. Tibby later goes to Bridget's house along with Carmen in order to bring Bridget out of her depression.
Over the course of the movie, Tibby undergoes dramatic changes in outlook due to her time with Bailey.
Bridget
Shortly after arriving at soccer camp in Mexico, Bridget notices one of the coaches, Eric Richman, and inquires about him, to which the surrounding girls respond that flings with the coaches are against the rules. This information does not dissuade Bridget, as she immediately becomes single-minded in achieving what she wants: a relationship with Eric. She flirts with him often—talking to him, showing off for him at soccer games, and more.
When Bridget's turn with the Traveling Pants finally comes, she puts them on that night and walks around outside Eric's cabin, leading him to the beach. The two begin kissing passionately and Bridget loses her virginity. The event leaves Bridget feeling empty and listless, and she remains that way for the rest of her time at soccer camp, as well as part of her time home. She is lifted from her depression by Carmen and Tibby, who come over to cheer her up after a concerned phone call from Lena. The next day, Bridget's dog, Maggie, runs off with the Traveling Pants, and Bridget follows her to get them back, only to run into Eric, who has come to visit on his way home. He apologizes to Bridget for what happened between them, and the two agree to be friends. However, Eric lets her know that she should give him a shot when she is 20. This gives her the closure that she needs.
Carmen
During the summer she goes to her dad's house in South Carolina. On arrival, she is shocked when her dad immediately introduces her to a new family that he is about to marry into; they are blonde WASPs, unlike Carmen who was raised by her Hispanic mother. During her time there her father and her new family neglect her emotionally, driving her to throw a stone through their dining room window, and catch a bus back to Maryland. At home she tells Tibby about her time with her dad, and Tibby convinces her to call her father and finally tell him that she's mad at him. Carmen tells her father and he apologizes, although, as a tearful Carmen tells him, she wishes that that were enough, but it's not. Her summer ends with the four of them returning South where she is an attendant at her father's wedding, where at the reception he makes a public apology for having snubbed her.
Differences between the film and the novel

Carmen
* In the movie, Carmen describes herself as 'the writer.' In the book, there is no mention of Carmen having an affinity for writing, although she is an excellent student. However, the prologue and epilogue of the book are written in the first person from Carmen's perspective, while the rest of the book is written in the third person.

* In the book, Eric's hair is dark and wavy. In the movie, his hair is blonde.
* The aftermath of Bridget's one-night stand with Eric differs significantly from the book. In the movie, he goes to Maryland to apologize to Bridget. In the book, it is left unclear as to whether Bridget has sex with Eric. In the third book it is established that they did in fact have sex the first summer. Bridget is hurt and falls into a state of depression evident in the second book. Eric and Bridget do not reconcile until the end of the third book.
* In the movie, Lena finds Bridget's letter about Eric under her bed and sends Tibby and Carmen to comfort Bridget at her home in Maryland. In the book, Lena changes her flight home from Greece goes to meet Bridget at her soccer camp in Mexico.
Tibby
* A babysitter named Loretta looks after Tibby's two siblings, Katherine and Nicky, in the book. The task is left to Tibby in the movie.

Lena
* In the book, Lena has a younger sister named Effie. Effie is not seen or mentioned in the movie at all.
* Lena called her grandmother by her first name, 'Valia', in the book. In the movie, she called her 'Yia Yia'. She also called her grandfather 'Papou', when in the book, he is called Bapi. (Yia Yia and Papou actually mean grandmother and grandfather in Greek.)

* In the book, Lena and Kostos first meet at a party at Lena's grandparents' house. In the movie, Kostos meets Lena when he saves her from drowning.
* The conflict between Lena's grandparents and Kostos in the book arises because Lena mistakenly believed Kostos spied on her while she was skinny dipping. She is so upset about this incident that her grandparents further assume that Kostos must have sexually assaulted her. In the movie, the family feud is partially resolved when Lena confesses her feelings for Kostos to her grandparents. In the book, the conflict is resolved when Lena explains that Kostos did not attack her.
* In the movie, Lena and Kostos date for much of the summer, but in the book they only become a couple just before Lena returns to the US.
* In the book, Lena's eyes are described as being "celery-colored". Actress Alexis Bledel's eyes are blue.
