Sweatpants are a cozy staple in every woman's wardrobe. Slipping on a pair is no longer akin to sacrificing style for comfort, especially since high-powered A-listers such as Hailey Bieber, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez regularly wear athleisure outfits styled with sweats alongside sophisticated pieces like sharp blazers, 7-digit Birkins, and plush faux fur coats.
The right pairs allow you to assemble an effortless look that prioritizes the comfort of loungewear—whether you’re heading to the grocery store, meeting up with friends for a laid-back lunch, or heading out on a long-haul flight.
Ahead, you can discover a range of silhouettes, from wide-leg silhouettes that closely resemble tailored trousers to fit-and-flare versions that are even slightly sculpted. You’ll also find a mix of colorways including classic neutral tones and more saturated hues that play into the latest color trends of the season.
Classic Sweatpants
A monochromatic hue can be a fresh point-of-view on an otherwise classic sweatsuit.
For those who would prefer a standard cut, consider sweatpants stitched with elastic waistbands and cuffs. To create an easygoing outfit that appears extra put-together, team any of the streamlined bottoms below with a matching hoodie and a pair of white sneakers. Round out your sporty uniform with a floor-sweeping trench coat, and you’ve got yourself a cute cold-weather look that you’ll want to wear on repeat.
Wide-Leg Sweatpants
Swap your trousers for a pair of wide-leg sweatpants for a sporty, effortless alternative to traditional bottoms.
File this wide-leg style under sweatpants that look like real pants. Crafted with a free-flowing shape, these sleek sweats take on traditional trousers' essence in a less constricting way. If you give your tailored pants a break, try these alternatives.
Jogger Sweatpants
A vibrant jogger can be the unexpected hero of your outfit. Pair it with socks and sandals for a bold look that showcases your effortlessly cool style.
As the name implies, joggers were initially designed for athletic purposes. However, they can operate outside any running track or fitness center these days. So, next time you step out for an informal outing, slip into these tapered sweapants instead of jeans or cargo pants.
Fit-and-Flare Sweatpants
Sweatpants and a great fit aren't mutually exclusive. If you prefer a more tailored approach, a fit-and-flare style will be your go-to.
Most sweatpants are naturally baggy, but if oversized clothing doesn’t align with your personal style, more form-fitting options on the market will rival your favorite pair of yoga pants.
Loungewear Sweatpants
Comfort is key, but you don't have to sacrifice style to feel cozy.
Although any style expert will tell you that sweatpants can be worn beyond your couch, they’ll also admit that there’s nothing like bundling up indoors while wearing a pair of cloud-like bottoms. Do just that with the pants below, which are made from soft fabric blends that will make you feel as though you’re wrapped in a fuzzy blanket.
