8 Fan Favorite Sweatpants & Joggers You'll Never Want To Take Off
When it comes to cozy clothing for lounging around the house, sweatpants are the comfiest choice there is. But sweatpants aren't just comfortable — they're also extremely versatile. Beyond casual wear at home, the best women’s sweatpants can be rocked at the gym, while running errands, or really wherever you please.
When you're shopping for the ultimate pair of sweats, pay close attention to the type of fabric they're made of. Cotton is a common material for sweatpants due to the fact that it's both soft and breathable. Sweats lined with fuzzy fleece or sherpa are a good idea if you’ll be wearing your pants in cool weather. If you'll be working out in your sweatpants, look for a blend of moisture-wicking and stretchy materials, like polyester and spandex.
Another consideration is the fit of the sweatpants. Most options range in cut, from loose and baggy to tight and fitted — this factor is really a matter of preference. Pants without cuffs allow for more airflow, but cuffed sweats tend to look more polished, plus the cuffs prevent the sweats from riding up. Cuffed, tapered sweatpants are often referred to as "joggers" and are super popular as athleisure wear.
No matter your preferences in style or material, everyone needs at least one good pair of sweatpants. I’ve compiled a list of eight great picks to help you find the best ones for you.

These sweats from Champion are amazingly soft to wear. The polyester and cotton combination is cozy, but the real difference maker is the brushed fleece interior, which provides extra softness against your skin.

Enthusiastic Amazon review: "Perfect lounging around pants that don't quite look like pajamas if you have to leave the house. Wide waistband lays flat, soft fleece on the inside, and no scrunchy elastic in the ankle opening. I like longer pants so that my ankles aren't exposed when I sit down, and these fit that preference [...]. I did not experience any noticeable shrinkage after washing and drying them twice."

03Woman Within Plus Size Better Fleece Sweatpant
Can we talk about the size range of these Woman Within sweatpants? These sweats run from size small (which fits a plus-size 12) to 6X (plus-size 42-44), so all kinds of bodies will be able to rock this pick. Plus, the color selection is also quite impressive — with more than 10 options ranging from deep cranberry to vintage moss to soft aqua, you'll surely find a shade that you love.

Enthusiastic Amazon review: "These are the softest, most comfortable sweats I have ever owned! I am tall (5'9"), so pants frequently are TOO SHORT for me. Not so with these-- they are generously long! These pants are also generous in leg width. They are not as generous as, say, pallazo pants, but they are a tad "baggy." But hey -- they are SWEATS -- they are supposed to be a little baggy to be comfortable! They fit great at the waist, also. The elastic waist is very soft, so no uncomfortable "gathered" waistband!! Also--to find women's sweats with pockets -- WOWZER!! What a PLUS!!! I was so in love with the first pair, I have now ordered FOUR more pair!! lOVE LOVE LOVE!!!"
- Available Sizes: Small (12) to 6X (42-44)
04Yeokou Sherpa Lined Sweatpants
Sometimes you need a little extra warmth, and this pair of sweatpants from Yeokou can provide it. The 100% cotton exterior is lined with fuzzy sherpa, keeping you comfy and cozy. Additionally, the cuffed bottom of the legs helps to keep the cold out. These sweatpants have two side pockets and an elastic waistband with a drawstring for a comfy fit. You can choose from three different neutral shades, and there is also an unlined version of the pants, if you prefer.
Enthusiastic Amazon review: "I've never worn pants that make me as happy as these do. I feel like I'm being enveloped in a cloud. I sized up (good idea), due to other reviews. They're perfect for cold winter days, being warm and toasty when you and hubs disagree on what the thermostat should read, and getting a hug from your clothing when you're exhausted after a day of work/your kids running you ragged, or both. I'm also sensitive to non-breathable clothes, particularly at night, but these haven't made me feel too hot so far."
- Available Sizes: X-Small to XX-Large

The sweats are a bit more tailored than other sweats so you can wear them with a t-shirt or even a sweater and they look good. The softness is unsurpassed."

Overall--and especially at this price--one of the best clothing purchases I've made in recent years."
