If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably worn sweatpants more in the last two years than any hard pants. And if work has gone permanently remote, or you’re working from home a few days a week, it’s time to upgrade your athleisure.

How should sweatpants fit?

When shopping for tailored sweats that you can wear for comfort but also FASHION, look for a pair that tapers through the leg, ending in an elastic cuff around your ankle.

These pants shouldn’t bunch at the top of your shoe. In fact, if they end a little above your ankle, that’s cool.

The fit should feel comfortable if not loose at your thighs and crotch. These are sweats, not running tights, so we shouldn’t be able to see everything you’re working with, if you know what I’m saying.
