Authentic brands like Champion, Nike, Adidas, and Lululemon all offer performance-grade styles that are just as fit for lounging at (or working from) home. You can also opt for stylish matching sets from the likes of Spanx, Aritzia, Alo, and Girlfriend Collective with details like structured (but never stuffy!) silhouettes. With some creative styling, you can sport your favorite sweatpants out and about. Dress up a pair of tapered joggers with an oversize sweater or button-down, leather jacket, and ankle booties for an effortless brunch outfit. Need a comfortable getup for travel or running errands? Pair wide-leg sweatpants with a fitted sweatshirt, chunky and comfy sneakers, and a cute crossbody bag to nail the athleisure vibe. The best part is that you won't want to remove them as soon as you get home.
Bottom line: Comfort is still the top draw for sweatpants. Thanks to features like soft fleece lining, stretchy textiles, elastic waistbands, and functional pockets, quality sweats are a versatile closet staple. From cargo and jogger sets to wide-leg styles that resemble tailored pants, the best sweatpants for women are cozy, cool, and can be worn just about everywhere.
