My Hot Take Is That Sweatpants Can Be Stylish—20 Chic Pairs That Prove My Point

Based on Net-a-Porter's styling, these aren't solely reserved for lounging. They're cropped and have a slight wide-leg fit, so they differ from traditional sweatpants in the sense that they can be worn similarly to jeans or trousers. Made from 100% cotton, they're also comfortable enough to wear year-round.

If cozy is what you're looking for, you should consider buying these knit joggers and maybe the matching top too. They can easily be worn out with a maxi coat and chunky boots.

Nike will always be a reliable choice for sportswear, and these are a great under-$100 option.

I think this product styling is exactly how you should wear these sweatpants. The heels add a little juxtaposition. Also, you can't beat this price.

Customer Review: "I'm in love with these! I will be ordering more in other colors. I wanted a different color of sweatpants since I only ever buy black, and the dark blue ones are incredible. They're dark enough to not notice right away that they're blue, but also, the way they sit on me is wonderful. They are sweatpants, so you have to wear them in, but they are worth it!"

Although Toteme's standout items consist of coats and elevated basics, I can easily see these sweatpants worn with everything else the brand has to offer.

An easy way to make sweatpants look more fashionable? Buy them in a trending color like this fiery red. The many five-star reviews are filled with appreciation for their comfort and perfect oversize fit. Many buyers returned to get a few more colors, so you might want to take a look at the other options available.

Customer Review: "These are by far the best sweatpants I've ever purchased. They're soft on the inside and super cozy. I love the baggy oversized fit—there's nothing I hate more than too-tight sweats."

Made from 100% cotton and French terry, these extra-soft and lightweight sweatpants are reliable year after year.

Brands like Tibi and Citizens of Humanity have got the fashion set falling for barrel-fit jeans, and I think that these barrel-leg sweats deserve some attention too. Made from soft organic cotton and recycled cotton-blend jersey, they offer both immense comfort and a trend-forward touch.

Around the same time loungewear was all we were wearing while working from home, Aritzia dominated and continues to dominate that market. From its knit sets to its fleece jackets, the brand is a reliable place to find quality and comfortable pieces. 

While the above pair from Aritzia is more suitable for lounging, this heavyweight pair can be worn out for numerous occasions.

These are comfy enough to sleep in but stylish enough to throw on with a blazer and slingbacks like Hailey Bieber does. As a fashion editor, this is exactly how I'll be wearing sweatpants. I can't say the same about how I'll wear them indoors, though.

Switch things up from your usual gray sweatpants with this butter-yellow pair. It's the perfect color for when you want something a bit more exciting than your neutrals but don't want something that draws too much attention.

Customer Review: "These are so comfortable and soft! They're great for lounging and to wear if you're traveling. I usually wear an X-Small but bought a Small. I would say that you should definitely stick to your usually size because they do run bigger, but they have a drawstring waistband so it's easy to fix."

I always spot fashion folk wearing Sporty Rich's sweatshirts and tees, but to pull in the extra comfort, why not get the whole set?

The tiny crystals add a little bit of glam to an everyday pair of sweats.

Customer Review: "These are so cute and comfy! Fashion forward, fun, and a good neutral classic with a little bling. I get tons of compliments every time I wear these! You can dress them up or down, if you leave the length for a fun pump. They do run slightly large, but that's typically for Good American wide-leg sweats. I am usually a small and these I took an X-Small. Adorable and fun! Highly recommend!"

Gigi Hadid's cashmere line is the epitome of cool and comfortable. Every piece is designed with longevity in mind, so just know you'll be reaching for these cashmere track pants for years to come.

Gap's CashSoft products are meant to mimic the comfort of cashmere at a more affordable price point. According to reviewers, they're a worthy purchase. Many wrote that these pants are a "must-have" and "crazy comfortable."

Customer Review: "I absolutely LOVE these pants! It's my first time trying 'joggers' since I am not a fan of ballooning pants, but these have a comfortable cuff without making the leg puffy. The best two things are the pockets and the super-cozy, soft fabric. Better than cashmere, in my opinion. They're washable and easy to care for with all the perks of a cozy knit without the higher price point. Highly recommend. I'm getting another pair now."

If Skims can make bras comfortable, just imagine how the brand's loungewear must feel. Add a matching robe and you've got the perfect gift for someone. 

Customer Review: "These joggers are so soft and cozy. I've been living in them. They're a little big for Skims sizes, so size down—but so worth it! Even oversize, they're worth it."

Don't sleep on Abercrombie's loungewear. I recently tried out a few of its new arrivals and was impressed with the feel and weight of the fabric. Everything was up to par on quality and felt soft on the skin. I completely get the hype now.

Customer Review: "I bought every color—please make new ones! So stylish and comfortable."

Leset is known amongst the fashion set to make the softest T-shirts so it's safe to say the track pants will also be just as comfortable and chic as the rest of the product offering.

For those looking for a more unique style of sweatpants, these offer a wide-leg, cropped length and a drop-crotch detail.
