If we had you at “wide, loose silhouette”, ignore the rest of our spiel and scroll on down. So allow us to introduce the baggy sweatpants you should be wearing right now, which are distinguished from the sweats you already own by two crucial factors: a wide, loose silhouette, and an utter lack of elastic by the ankles. If the 2010s ushered in the rise of slim, stacked designer sweatpants, the 2020s herald a new dawn in the world of bleeding-edge fleece. What all those sweats share in common-beyond the cozy-as-hell fabrics and an ability to make Jerry Seinfeld mad-is a certain ankle-hugging cut. Here’s the bad news: the baggy sweatpants we’re talking about here are…none of those, actually.
Here’s the good news: plenty of us have amassed similar collections.
How many pairs of sweatpants are in your closet? Go on, count ‘em: You’ve got your over-engineered gym sweats, your ratty lazing-about-the-house sweats, your standard grocery-run sweats, your discreet Zoom sweats, and maybe even a couple of backups for laundry day.
