Thanks to the synthetic, workout-friendly fabrics that fight odor and sweat, these sweatpants will let you breathe in the deepest sense. Sure, the lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric is perfect for workouts, but the streamlined style is also ideal for elevating everyday wear.
The bestselling ABC Jogger also has a four-way stretch for comfort on-the-go, and a performance build that is quick-drying and wrinkle-resistant. “ABC means anti-ball crushing which means the pants allow breathing space for the crotch area,” says Marcos Martinez, a lifestyle blogger. “The pants have a classic taper look which gives a classy look. The pants have a zipper back pocket which allows you to carry your wallet and other items.” In our testing, we also found that the lightweight fabric was able to retain its shape well.
What Do Other Experts Say? “For a sporty fit, we love the Lululemon ABC Jogger. This jogger is tapered and features a lightweight fabric that is machine washable and quick drying. It’s great for those on-the-go days where you’re maybe slightly more active,” says Huw Collins, Co-Founder of WHEAT and actor from Pretty Little Liars.

Tom Ellis, the Lucifer actor, has a soft spot for these sweatpants that are part of his go-to casual wardrobe. Having tested these on Ellis as well as in our fashion closet, we love that they’re crafted from super tough terry cotton that lasts. Additionally, they’re built to handle the toughest workout routines. The flatlock seams ensure comfort on the inside, and the soft fabric feels like your second skin. And the slim fit is athletic-friendly: roomy for your quads but with a tapered leg.
What Do Experts Say? “These sweatpants are distinguished by their reinforced seams, subtle taper, and wide waistband with a thick rope drawstring. The Canadian-made fleece is robust on the outside and brushed soft on the inside, offering a perfect blend of durability and comfort,” says Anastasios Moulios, men’s grooming expert and founder of beardlong.com.

As sharp as they are cozy, these French terry, shrinkage-resistant, heavenly soft sweats are the cure for the common sweatpants. In fact, they’ve even earned the co-sign from actor Adam Shapiro. “During the last couple years, like many, I have become something of a sweatpants connoisseur… Constantly in search of the perfect set, one that’s super soft and comfy for chilling, but with a structure, sturdiness, and style that can be worn anywhere. AND WITH POCKETS,” says Shapiro. “And just like that, I’ve found it: the Buck Mason Interloop. It’s super soft, really well made, sturdy, and the kind of heavy-duty sweatpants that I know I’m going to be able to wear for a really long time.”
