Fall is officially here, with winter fast approaching, and that means one thing for those of us who consider ourselves professional loungers: sweatpants are back, baby! In the benighted past, sweatpants had a bad reputation; they were basically considered forever unfashionable, a slob’s choice. Today, however, things have changed, and even the most fashion-conscious brands have brought out one or more stylish sweatpants options.
And, don’t get us wrong, we’re grateful for that — but we also think sweatpants ought to be, first and foremost, comfortable. Thankfully, we’re living in something of a golden era of sweatpants, when it’s possible to find a close-cut, stylish pair that is also extremely comfortable.
RELATED: Best Work Pants for Men
We’ve done the heavy lifting for you, scouring the Internet for the most fashionable, cozy and budget-friendly sweatpants we could find. Whether you’re shopping for the most comfortable, cold-weather, Netflix-watching pants or an athletic pair you can go for a jog in, we’ve got you covered.
Champion Powerblend Fleece Sweatpants
Champion’s entire brand is built around delivering the optimal combination of quality and value, and their entire lineup of sweatshirts and sweatpants is proof of their success. We particularly love their Powerblend Fleece. The cut is relaxed without being sloppy, the fleece is warm and resistant to pilling, and they have deep, reinforced pockets capable of holding even larger-model smartphones. In other words, what’s not to love?
Buck Mason Brushed Loopback Trousers
Proving simple can still be stylish, the Brushed Loopback Trousers from Buck Mason take the basic sweatpant silhouette and elevate every aspect of the experience, from the ultra-cozy French terry material to the slimmer cut. Even the coloring of these pants speaks to something special: Buck Mason uses small-batch garment dyeing combined with a natural enzyme rinse to create a totally unique, vintage-looking aesthetics.
NOBULL Men’s Jogger
If you’re after a more athletic fit, and want something rugged enough to withstand your toughest workouts, NOBULL’s jogger (available in six colors and seven sizes, for the perfect fit) deploys a tapered cut in the legs and ankle cuffs to help you show off your leg growth. The zippered side pockets are deep enough to store even very large phones, while the mesh interiors help promote airflow.
Lululemon Smooth Spacer Jogger
Lululemon almost created the athleisure genre single-handedly, and they’re still among the masters when it comes to making livable, stylish athletic wear that stands up in a workout or at the grocery store. Case in point: their Smooth Spacer Jogger, with a modal blend fabric that’s luxurious to the touch but rugged and quick-drying during workouts. We love the relaxed fit and convenient front pockets, featuring a hidden phone sleeve to protect your smartphone from scratches.
Vuori Transit Jogger
If you haven’t already heard of Vuori, consider yourself put on notice. Their Transit jogger is as well made, as comfortable, and as durable as any of its competitors (and many of them are twice the price!). It sells out fast, though, so if you catch it in a style and size you like, act quickly.
Roots Cabin Cuff Original Sweatpants
Canada’s top exports include lumber, hydroelectricity, maple syrup, and Roots clothing, especially their classic sweatpants. Trust us: you haven’t truly discovered comfort until you’ve worn a pair of Roots sweatpants, especially in the winter.
Reigning Champ Brushed Fleece Straight Leg Sweatpants
Made from a lofty, fleeceback fabric that feels cozy on the skin while still delivering enough insulation to protect you through the colder months, these Brushed Fleece sweatpants from Reigning Champ offer a classic, straight-leg fit and all of the convenience of front and rear pockets while still keeping the silhouette slim and stylish.
Nike Tech Fleece Slim Fit Jogger
The Nike Tech Fleece Slim Fit Joggers went viral before “going viral” was really a thing, and while they spawned a million cheap imitations, the original is still the standout option, especially if you get it in the newer color options: Olive and Polar. We especially love the deep pockets, asymmetrical leg styling, and glove-like athletic fit.
