1. lululemon Scuba Straight-Leg Pant
The luxuriously soft and stylish Scuba pants are the perfect blend of comfort and style. Casual yet chic, these sweatpants boast a tailored, straight-leg silhouette and are made with a plush velvet material that’s oh-so comfy and cozy for lounging around. PureWow assistant commerce editor Natalie LaBarbera is no stranger to this comfortable lululemon material. She says, “I love the thickness of lululemon's Scuba fabrics, and the 7/8 length is perfect for my short legs, so I've got my eye on these straight-fit pants. Plus, this fun velvet cord edition feels perfect for winter months.” Rich, durable material and a great length for shorter gals? Say less.
2. lululemon Men's Jersey Tapered Pant
You just might want to send this to your hubby because these versatile, tapered sweatpants are the epitome of comfort and style. Crafted from premium soft jersey fabric, these joggers deliver the utmost relaxation. He’ll be pleased to discover that they’re lightweight, sweat-wicking, quick-drying and incredibly stretchy, so he can feel at ease while wearing them and won’t have to worry about ruining his new joggers if he happens to break a sweat. Be sure to let him know that there are front and back pockets, plus a hidden phone and coin sleeve. It’s a sophisticated and relaxed wardrobe must-have, and a surefire way to elevate his loungewear game.
3. lululemon Softstreme High-Rise Pant
“I keep hearing incredible things about lululemon’s Softstreme material, so it may just be time for me to find out what the fuss is all about,” confesses PureWow fashion editor Abby Hepworth. “I appreciate that these have a longer inseam length, so they won't feel too short on my 5'9" frame, and really love the straight-leg silhouette, which feels a bit posher than a classic jogger. Plus, the shock cord at the waistband is far more chic than a plain old drawstring.” Speaking of chic, Hepworth was right about one thing: lululemon’s premium Softsteme fabric delivers cozy vibes—thanks to the peach-fuzz soft texture that’ll feel silky-smooth on the skin—and boasts a four-way stretch that could steal the heart of anyone, including associate SEO editor Marissa Wu. “I never wear sweatpants, but I have my eyeballs glued to these as the perfect initiation pair,” she says. “[They] somehow feel a little more elevated than running out in my pajamas. And did I mention it's made from recycled materials?" TLDR? We’re suckers for machine-washable sweatpants that have a deluxe weighty drape to them.
4. lululemon Men’s License to Train Jogger
Forget about a License to Kill ‘cause your man will feel like an off-duty James Bond in his License to Train jogger. Engineered for performance, these sweatpants blend technical features with a sleek aesthetic that looks sharp and put-together even after he’s done training. The abrasion-resistant and water-repellent material can withstand plenty of activities like burpees or strenuous hikes. The streamlined design and tapered fit ensure a modern look without compromising mobility, so he can elevate his active lifestyle—emphasis on style.
5. lululemon Dance Studio Mid-Rise Pant
Meet the lululemon Dance Studio pants that caught the eye of senior editor Dana Dickey. “I just spied a fancy lady wearing these at a health resort and I was so impressed by how they managed to look so nature-chic. They hung like nice pants but could also give enough for her to do a stretch class. Plus, the hem has a drawcord that can be bunched up or release to look like a pair of what my mom calls ‘slacks.’ Also, the mid-rise looks so fresh after all the high-rises we have been served for a while now.” Indeed, the mid-rise waist and wide- or straight-leg design deliver a flattering and versatile fit that manages to remain totally zen. We predict that’s due to the nylon and elastane blend.
6. lululemon Men's Fast and Free Running Pant
Indulge in a sweat-wicking, flexible and breathable pant that’s engineered with agility and comfort at top of mind. Whether your man is heading off for a winter run or simply getting through his daily activities, these streamlined sweatpants are designed to keep up with him without restricting his movement despite the tapered fit. That’s right, the brand specifically built in an ergonomic gusset that negates any tension from the crotch and accounted for plenty of room in the areas that matter (i.e., the glutes and thighs). Other details we appreciate, you ask? The built-in ventilation to help him keep cool and the thoughtfully placed reflective details to keep him safe on night runs.
7. lululemon Softstreme Flared Pant
Sweatpants or high fashion? Even PureWow associate fashion commerce editor Stephanie Meraz has a hard time figuring it out. She admits, “I’ve never seen sweatpants that looked less like sweatpants until today…and I’m so here for it. In fact, I need them. These ribbed flares look like they’re straight out of the aughts, when Paris Hilton ruled the world in her Juicy Couture tracksuits. I love that the super flattering flare silhouette has a zipper on either side that’ll alter the hem into a subtler straight-leg statement. Talk about ingenuity.” They’re the luxe sweatpants that redefine loungewear and relaxation, plus they’re made with the same Softstreame fabric Hepworth is eager to try.
8. lululemon Men's Steady State Jogger
Utility meets style seamlessly in the men’s Steady State joggers that reviewers say are actually gender neutral (but more on that in a second). Crafted for everyone, whether you like being active or prefer lounging, these joggers are made with a sweat-wicking fabric that ensures you stay dry and comfortable. One female customer, who struggled finding sweatpants that flattered her curvy silhouette in the women’s section, found that these “fit like a dream! I love that all the pockets have zippers too,” she writes. They have a modern, tapered fit, and the gathered hem at the ankles adds a touch off cool. The breathable cotton fabric blend features a small trace of elastane, enhancing the material and making it ultra-stretchy. And the practical elements, such as the zippered pockets and drawstring waistband, provide convenience for whatever comes your way.
9. lululemon Scuba Relaxed Jogger
Fashioned with cozy, stretchy fabric, these joggers are designed for versatility. The breathable cotton-blend fabric will feel soft against your skin and deliver a lightweight warmth. Psst…that means that you can wear these throughout the seasons. The flattering sweatpants are the ideal pair to reach for when you’re in need of casual comfort but don’t want to compromise on style. They feature a relaxed-yet-tailored fit and high-rise waist that’s oh-so flattering on the frame.
10. lululemon Loungeful Cropped Jogger
Whether you’re on the move or relaxing at home, these joggers ensure unrestricted movement and a cozy feel. They are made with the same soft and stretchy fabric as the Scuba droppers above, but they offer a more laid-back feel with the cropped design and roomy fit around the thighs and bum. Some reviewers found that this style runs large and a few others noticed it gets baggier in fit after washing, so we suggest you opt for a smaller size if you want your sweatpants to fit like a glove.
