With work-from-home being the new norm for many of us, it might be more difficult than usual to feel the desire to get dressed and ready to go every day. After days of wearing sweatpants and oversized hoodies to all your virtual meetings, it’s time to switch things up. So instead, you pop on a pair of leggings, but even those can feel too constrictive. Introducing the happy medium: joggers. While these pants have long been known for their athletic use, they now have become a comfortable staple that your closet just might be missing.
Joggers for women offer a cozy yet fashionable alternative that can be worn in many different ways. This classic style usually has a tapered fit and is often bunched or cuffed right above the ankle, adding a little update to the bulky feel of sweatpants and a more defined silhouette. They’re an ideal option for travel, running errands, or just lounging around the house. Some brands incorporate additional features, like sweat-wicking materials, so you can even wear these pants during a workout.
Joggers are the kind of pants that can be worn for a variety of situations, in or out of the gym. If that means wearing comfy clothes while also adding a bit of style, then sign us up!
Down, down, down the abyss we went! We scoured the internet to find the best women’s joggers to fit everyday needs, looking for different styles, silhouettes, and colors for a variety of options to choose from. We also read a crazy amount of consumer reviews (we're talking triple digits) to help get a well-rounded view of IRL use.
The Vuori Performance Jogger is one of the best-reviewed pairs of joggers out on the internet, with an overall rating of five stars out of 10,000 reviews. You can’t really get much better than that.
They are made from recycled polyester and elastane, giving you moisture-wicking features and a lighter fabric combination to allow for versatility. They have a relaxed, tapered fit and cuff that hits right above the ankle. Complete with a cropped leg, side pockets, and a nice color range, these might be your newest go-to joggers.
If you still have a genuine attachment to your favorite pair of worn-in sweatpants, maybe you’re not quite ready to let go of that baggage.
This pair from Basin + Range gives you all the cozy comfort of sweatpants because they’re made with sherpa fleece. However, they still have a tapered fit and elastic cuff to give them that jogger look and feel.
Multiple pockets on the front and back will keep all your belongings secure, even if you have no intention of ever leaving the couch in these.
Now, maybe you need a little upgrade but you’re still on a budget. Well surprise, surprise: Amazon has an option for you. The Amazon Essentials joggers cost less than $25 and there are 32 colors and prints to choose from, so you’ll have no shortage of options. Maybe even stock up if you’re feeling a bit flush!
They are made of a cotton/polyester blend for durability and comfort and feature a drawstring waistband and elasticized cuffs (jogger staples). They are also available in plus sizes, going up to a 6XL. Over 18,000 ratings deem these pants worthy of 4.5 stars. A win in our minds!
Finding well-reviewed joggers in the Amazon black hole is not something for the faint of heart. The upside is you find gems like this Ajisai pair: Most customers felt these particular pants were worth every penny and many even purchased multiple pairs. A few people also compared the pants to Lululemon joggers, making them a similar and more affordable option if you’re looking for a dupe.
These joggers are mostly made of nylon and Spandex, meaning they're very unlikely to shrink in the wash. A tapered fit, side pockets, and ankle rib cuff keep them in line with the typical jogger style. Plus, they come in 16 different shades and colorways, so stock up!
These joggers are a comfortable and breathable option for everyday use. Instead of being fleece-lined, they are made with French terry, which is a knit fabric similar to jersey. That makes these joggers moisture-wicking, absorbent, and able to provide warmth without trapping in extra heat. So, they are a good option if you’re looking for a pair of joggers that can double as workout pants.
They have the classic jogger fit, complete with deep side pockets, cuffed ankles, and a tapered fit. They also go up to a size 3XL so they can fit bodies of mostly every shape and size.
These joggers for women have garnered nearly 40,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. They're affordable, lightweight, and comfortable enough to wear all day — whether you're working from home or running errands. Plus, they have a back pocket to hold your phone.
These joggers come in more than 40 different colors, too, so you can get multiple pairs to match your mood (at $20, why not?!). The brand recommends you machine-wash on cold and hang-dry to help them last.
Now, these pants definitely add a little update to the typical style and silhouette of joggers. This pick from Free People is harem-style, meaning they have a slouchier, baggier fit and lots of extra room to move around. They skew a little bit more on the trendier side, designed to be styled and worn in many different ways.
These joggers are on the pricier end, so you might second-guess wearing them while deep-cleaning the house. But they come in a very fun range of colors, with shades like Sweet Guava and Flame. Looking to stand out? Then these joggers are for you.
Make your trip to the bank or the gym as comfortable as can be in these joggers. They are made with a lightweight combination of polyester and elastane, giving you a good amount of stretch and movability. They also have a slim profile to help eliminate the extra fabric normally found in a bulky pair of sweatpants.
These come in a smaller color range than other brands of joggers, but the handful of colors available make these more of a closet staple than a bold fashion statement. So if you’re on the search for a pair of joggers that can match anything, then these are for you.
If you're ready to find your next go-to pair of joggers, then look no further. These fleece pants from Nike are made with soft, brushed-back fleece for added warmth and comfort. They have a combination-fabric content, so they are less likely to lose their structure the more you wear them.
They feature an elastic waistband and drawcord so you can adjust them to fit comfortably around your midsection. The familiar ribbed cuffs let you show off your cool sneaks (of course).
If you're ready to lounge in comfort and also rest assured you're flexing an iconic, street-style-worthy pair, then look no further than the Alo Muse. Featuring a high waist and ankle cuffs (hence its inclusion into our jogger category, despite its name), it's made with soft ribbed knit and comes with a variety of trendy colors and even matching tops, should you decide to get all matchy.
We particularly love this pair worn with chunky lug-soled sneakers for the ultimate Insta-worthy fit.
These joggers are great for life on and off the yoga mat (if you’re looking for the best of both worlds). They are made of a mix of nylon/lycra to give you breathability and are moisture-wicking in case you decide to wear them during a workout. They're also quick-drying to get rid of sweat, fast.
These are a simple yet classic jogger design — high-waisted with a tapered fit down to the ankle. Plus, they come in a wide range of sizes, like regular, tall, and petite.
Bonus: They go up to a 3XL, so they’re a great option for most kinds of body types.
The good thing about joggers is that they offer a lot of versatility, whether you’re just looking for lounge pants or a pair that you can dress up and dress down depending on the event. The Bamone Sweatpant from 10Tree allows for just that: a pair of joggers with enough structure that you can wear to a coffee date or for a lazy Saturday around the house. These pants are also made with sustainable practices, so you can look good and feel good.
There are multiple colorways available to fit your needs, and they’re made with a 50/50 combo of organic cotton and recycled polyester. A great blend for ultimate comfort!
