Do you live in sweatpants? You're not alone! With these chilly, early spring temperatures and many of us working a hybrid WFH schedule, we spend a lot of time at home and hence, many of us have embraced loungewear. We can't help but prioritize our wardrobe refreshes with staple comfortable clothing, starting with versatile and casual joggers.
If you've been in the market for the perfect pair, look no further. We've searched the web for a mix of cozy, lightweight and chic styles (and even asked a few Shop TODAY editors for their favorites!) to help you update your casual wear collection to wear any time of year.
Editor-loved joggers to shop
The Gym People Tapered Athletic Joggers
- Great amount of stretch
- May run large
Colors: 23 | Sizes: XS-3XL | Fabric: 80% polyamide, 20% spandex
One Shop TODAY editor gave these joggers a try and found them to be the perfect pant for almost every occasion. “I recently wore them on a 10-mile hike through the Grand Canyon during which they held up perfectly,” she said. “Even though it was super hot outside, the joggers felt lightweight enough that I wasn’t overheating in them. They even got wet while I was walking along a stream, but luckily the fabric is quick-dry so this wasn’t an issue at all.”
G Gradual 7/8 Stretch Pants
- Deep pockets
- Easy to clean
- Can run small
Colors: 20 | Sizes: XS-3XL | Fabric: 75% nylon, 25% spandex
Not only does contributing writer Anna De Souza love these joggers’ “cool to the touch” fabric, but she also says they offer year-round wearability. “The slight crop gives them an edge of stylishness that works for three out of the four seasons,” she says. “Somehow ankle-length pants have a way of making you look more energetic, like you’re on a purposeful move. It’s tough to place how, but it does offer a more youthful edge than full-length joggers.”
Libin Cargo Joggers
- Many pockets
- UPF 50+ treatment
- Mixed reviews on fit
Colors: 15 | Sizes: XS-3XL | Fabric: 92% polyester, 8% spandex
Social media video producer Anita Chomenko originally bought these joggers to bring on vacation and wear on a safari game ride, but now she wears them everywhere: “Around town, to the office, running errands, and on flights!” She adds that she likes how the pants don’t look overly baggy or oversized, and that they fit close to the body and crop at the ankle.
Baleaf Joggers
- UPF 50 protection
- Adjustable waistband
- Extremely lightweight
- Hand washing recommended
Colors: 15 | Sizes: XS-XXL | Inseams: 28 inch, 25.5 inch | Fabric: 77% nylon, 23% spandex
Contributing writer Hannah Hynes was shocked at how much she ended up liking these joggers — so much so, that she’s “seriously considering replacing my entire legging/yoga pants collection with more pairs of these!”
Uniqlo Ultra Stretch Active Jogger Pants
- Nice quality and structure
- Fit is on the snug side
Colors: Five | Sizes: XXS-XXL | Fabric: 100% polyester
Social media editor Kara Quill raves about how comfortable and soft these joggers feel. She also notes that they seem true to size, however, they ran a little tight in the bottom and upper thigh area for her.
Leggings Depot ActiveFlex Joggers
Colors: 40 | Sizes: S-3X | Fabric: 84% polyester, 16% spandex
One former contributing writer says these joggers offer the perfect balance of style and comfort. "While they give the bottom portion of my body a little bit of shape, they are also less constricting than the yoga pants and leggings I already own," she says. However, she recommends sizing up if you are looking for less of a fitted look.
Zella Move In Pocket Joggers
- True to size
- Lightweight
- Different fabric, new version
Colors: Nine | Sizes: XS-XXL | Fabric: 77% polyester, 23% spandex
"These joggers have been everywhere with me over the last five years — from wanders around my quiet neighborhood during the start of the pandemic to various trips around the country — and they have stayed in ridiculously good shape," says SEO senior editor, Jess Bender. "Their length hits right at the ankle, which may deter taller wearers but works perfectly for my 5’6” frame. They’re also really forgiving with the stretch it provides, and I love how soft it feels on my skin."
Athleta Salutation High-Rise Jogger
- Includes pockets
- "Can be dressed up or down"
- Waistband inconsistencies
Colors: Four | Sizes: XXS-3X | Fabric: 75% nylon, 25% Lycra®
It might be love at first sight with these pants. Whether you are working out, running errands or going into the (at-home) office, these joggers are sure to become a staple in your wardrobe.
Chomenko is also a big fan of these joggers, saying that she’s owned her pair for over three years now and still considers them her “most reached-for pair.”
Fabletics The One Jogger
- Wide size range
- Three inseam lengths
- Fabric is noisy when walking
Colors: Three | Sizes: XXS-4X | Inseam: Regular, short, tall | Fabric: 79% nylon, 21% spandex
“After realizing I had no good quality sweats/joggers that I could wear outside, I turned to Fabletics, and these caught my eye,” says associate editor Kamari Stewart. “I ended up buying them in two colors and I’m so glad I did. They’re comfortable, the fit is perfect and I love that they come in three inseam lengths. They’re great for wearing on their own or thrown over leggings when I’m walking to the gym as an outer layer. 10/10.”
Vuori Performance Jogger
- Soft fabrics
- Adjustable drawstring waist
- Thin material
- "Very cropped" length
Colors: 13 | Sizes: XXS-XXL | Length: Regular, long | Fabric: 89% recycled polyester, 11% elastane
“The best thing about these joggers is the soft material,” raves senior editor Francesca Cocchi Zabloudil. “It feels so soft to the touch yet it’s lightweight.” However, she warns that they have a very slim fit and thin material, which doesn’t work as a winning combination for her personal style.
Municipal Superstretch Joggers
- Soft material
- Stretchy and flattering
- Only two colors
Colors: Two | Sizes: XS-2XL | Fabric: 96% cotton, 4% spandex
Associate editor Sierra Hoeger admits that she has fallen in love with the material of these joggers. “Not only is it super stretchy (like the name hints at), but it’s [also] super soft and flattering.” Hoeger is also extremely satisfied with the fit. “They’re not too tight around the thigh, and you don’t feel like the band at your ankles will cut off your circulation either.”
Cozy Earth Studio Jogger
- Super soft
- Pricey
Colors: One | Sizes: XS-XL | Fabric: 82% modal, 18% spandex
"I've owned probably 10 different brands and styles of joggers, but I have never felt a pair as soft as these." says editor Rebecca Brown. "Truly. They're a heavy weight and remain perfectly heavy and soft after every wash," she adds.
Brown isn't the only one who loves this pair
