The 9 Best Men’s Joggers That Look As Good As They Feel

The 9 Best Men’s Joggers That Look As Good As They Feel

Over the past few years, men’s joggers have become just as important to the men’s style portfolio as dark denim. They fit perfectly into the significant shift in men’s fashion toward a more casual, comfortable aesthetic that’s defined by the rise of streetwear and athleisure, as well as a general acceptance that everyone can find versatile personal style in all of their wardrobe choices.

What’s the Difference Between Joggers and Sweatpants?

Are all joggers sweatpants? Are all sweatpants joggers? Is this another “is a square a rectangle and vice versa” argument? And does it really matter? Both generally tend to be comfortable, loose-fitting garments often made with cotton. Both are intended for some sort of athletic performance. But joggers are often made of a more breathable material for activities and sweatpants being made of a heavier material for warmth. While this remains true in most cases, the lines are incredibly blurred these days.

There’s no hard and fast rule about what separates the best men’s sweatpants from the best joggers for men except that joggers tend to be cut more flatteringly and are far more acceptable to wear in public. There’s often a taper down the leg or at the ankle rather than the more boxy look of sweatpants. We’re not saying you should wear any pair of sweatpants–tapered joggers or otherwise–to date night, but there are ways to style men’s joggers to have them fit in more occasions than you might initially think.

How To Style Men’s Joggers

Style is highly personal. What may work for one person may be abhorrent to someone else. That said, there are a few different vibes that you’re going to give off depending on how you decide to style your joggers. What was once clearly stuck among couch attire now doesn’t seem all that out of place on a grocery store run, coffeeshop work session, or happy hour. It all just depends on the rest of your ensemble when you style men’s joggers. Just always remember the main fit rule: joggers should be slim-fitting but not too tight, and the length should fall just above the shoe.

  • Pair joggers with a casual button-up shirt or a simple t-shirt for a relaxed yet put-together look.
  • Layer a denim or leather jacket over a graphic t-shirt and joggers for a more edgy look.
  • Dress up joggers by pairing them with a blazer, dress shirt, and dress shoes for a more formal look that doesn’t try too hard.
  • Layer a hoodie or sweater over joggers and pair them with sneakers for a comfortable and casual look.
  • Experiment with different fabrics and textures, like wool or corduroy joggers for a more unique-to-you look.
