We’re in the midst of a golden age of comfy clothes. In the last few years, people have been rethinking their loungewear lineups and incorporating more cozy staples into their wardrobes. And brands have responded by providing better options than ever.
Sweatpants are always perfect for lounging or working from home, but with the slew of choices available, there are plenty of picks that are perfectly acceptable to wear out and about too. If you’re overwhelmed by the variety of options on the market, rest assured that we’ve done the work for you. Below, we’ve culled the very best sweatpants for women available in every category from the classic tapered fit to ultra-trendy wide-leg styles.
Best Classic Sweatpants
With a slouchy, extra comfy fit, classic sweatpants have the most casual silhouette on our list. The tapered leg is a timeless look, and a well-made pair of these sweats can last you for many years to come.
Richer Poorer Women’s Recycled Fleece Classic Sweatpant
Made from recycled materials, these ankle-banded fleece-lined bottoms, come in 10 colors and range from size XS to XL. In her review of the pants, executive editor Sally Kaplan explained, “The sweatpants are great and have held up through almost a year of wear and tear. I’d order true-to-size in these styles, but if you’re in between sizes, you could easily size down.” They also have an elastic waist and pockets!
OFFLINE By Aerie Coffee Run Jogger
Aerie is a treasure trove of reasonably-priced loungewear — and they have a huge selection of some of the best sweatpants for women. These are made of a cotton and polyester blend that is soft to the touch. Plus, they have pockets that are great for slipping your phone into as you walk around the house or go for a coffee run.
Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece High-Waisted Oversized Sweatpants
Nike’s oversized sweats, available in petite and tall sizes up to 4X (extended sizes only available Nike’s website), have extra room in the legs for a comfy relaxed fit. The taller ribbed waistline is perfect for tucking in a slouchy top or matching pullover fleece ($65).
Best Joggers
Joggers have a sporty yet fashionable vibe thanks to their slim silhouette that gathers at or above the ankles. Pair them with sneakers, tuck them into boots, or wear them pushed up on your calves when the weather is warmer. Unlike slouchy bottoms, joggers are some of the best sweatpants for women since you can wear them out of the house without looking schleppy.
Athleta Balance Jogger
Rest assured that these bottoms feel as good as they look. They’re made with a Tencel-cotton-blend fabric the brand calls “Plush Nirvana” — and that’s the perfect way to describe its soft, stretchy, and lightweight feel. The wide waist and ankle bands, plus a thick ribbon waist tie, give the joggers just the right amount of style. They’re available in five colors and range in sizes from XXs to 3X.
Lululemon Stretch High-Rise Jogger Full Length
Lululemon may be known for their more tailored activewear, but they also make some of the best sweatpants for women. These are the perfect joggers for lounging at home, but they’re also tailored enough that you can wear them while running errands. In fact, they have a hidden pocket with a zipper and card sleeve so that you can keep your keys and cash secure on walks, grocery store runs, and trips to the salon. These are available in six colors and go up to a size 20.
Vuori Performance Jogger
Loungewear brand Vuori rose to Instagram fame thanks to these ultra-soft joggers. Available in 18 colors for the 25-inch inseam length, 10 colors for the 27.5-inch inseam length and in sizes XXS-XXL, the fit is practically customizable. The secret is their DreamKnit fabric, which we can confirm is super cozy, stretchy, and lightweight. The moisture-wicking drawstring pants work just as well for running errands as they do for hitting the gym. You can read more about why we love them in this review.
Best Wide-Leg Sweatpants
With a loose silhouette that extends straight through the thigh, wide-leg sweats wear the most like traditional pajama bottoms. They’re also very much on-trend now, so they best represent the intersection between pique style and comfort.
Quince SuperSoft Fleece Wide Leg Pants
Don’t let the cropped cut fool you. These stretchy fleece-lined bottoms (available in XS-XL) are plenty warm. Deep front and back pockets give a modern look, so you can wear them out or just lounge in. The best part is the affordable price point, which is true of all of Quince’s offerings.
Spanx AirEssentials Wide Leg Pant
According to executive editor Sally Kaplan, these fine-knit wide-leg sweats are made from “possibly the most comfortable material on the planet.” Even better: All four colors come in petite, regular and tall lengths in sizes XS-3X.
TKEES Raw Edge Wide-Leg Pant
With pintuck detailing, an ultra-wide leg and a front flat-panel waist, these sweatpants look so polished they can almost pass for slacks. They’re available in three neutral hues — black, beige and medium brown — in sizes XS-XXXL. A variety of perfectly coordinated tops, such as a cropped tee ($40) or turtleneck ($125), are also available from the brand.
Best Luxury and Cashmere Sweatpants
Lounging and luxury go hand-in-hand, and nothing makes that clearer than these splurge-worthy pants. If you want to pamper yourself with loungewear in the finest fabrics, see our top picks below for the best sweatpants for women.
NAADAM Cashmere Cropped Pant
These 100% cashmere bottoms come in a whopping 12 hues in sizes XXS-3X. The slightly cropped silhouette and relaxed fit make these pricey sweats worth it because with big comfort comes great flare.
Quince Mongolian Cashmere Sweatpants
Quince’s business model is based around the idea that high-quality fabrics don’t have to break the bank, and these 100% Mongolian cashmere joggers are proof. The price point is much more affordable than traditional cashmere retails for, and they come in six rich colors in sizes XS-XL.
