Cozy cool: 10 sweatpants you need this winter season

If there was a time to wear sweatpants every day of the week, it’s now.

With everyone staying at home more this past year and the weather getting colder, the decision to switch from jeans to sweats has never looked better.

For a while, though, sweatpants only equated to loungewear – fleece pants you throw on when you want to chill out. But over the last half-decade, sweats have modernized.

From french terry, cashmere to merino wool, the materials and construction have turned many options in the market into something acceptable not only for home but when you’re out as well.

Replace the baggy and slouchy fits with styles more tailored and fit to the body, and you have a pair of cozy pants that can actually add a statement to your outfit.

To give you some inspiration, we’ve rounded up 10 pairs of sweatpants you’ll need to check out for the rest of the fall and winter season.

Slim Fit

Without sacrificing comfort, these styles are purposefully cut slimmer – sporting a tailored silhouette that gives off a smarter look that you can dress up your outfit with. Often sporting a cuffed ankle, the “jogger” aesthetic has been a trendy option for versatility.
