I saw a hilarious Tweet.
“To the people wearing jeans during self-quarantine: What are you trying to prove?”
My sentiments exactly.
Loungewear has been on my sartorial to-do list for a couple months now, so I was prepared for the comfy WFH outfit routine.
My quest? Joggers.
I wanted a pair of sweatpants that are comfortable. Eco-friendly. And look chic enough to be worn outside the house.
Mission accomplished.
After testing a handful of brands, here is what I found.
Loungewear Reviews
Twenty Montreal
I adore this brand. They describe their clothes as luxury meets comfort. And that’s truly what they make. These joggers were a great sale find and I’ve already exceeded their cost-per-wear.
I love that they have pockets. I love that they are cropped (great for long torsoed women). They are true substantial cotton sweatpants. The print is edgy yet versatile enough to wear “out” and still make you feel cool and put together.
I will be purchasing these trouser joggers next for an even more elevated look.
I am wearing a Small, but could have gone down to an XS.
Ninety Percent
Ninety Percent uses 100% organic cotton and their pieces are SO cozy. I ordered a pair of these joggers in black and adored them, but since I scored the above pair at 60% off, I kept the cheaper of the two.
At the time, I was thinking I only needed one pair of joggers, but now… well, let’s just say my tune has changed.
They are true, thick cotton sweatpants.
I ordered an XS in their joggers so I’d say they run TTS. If you are between sizes, size down.
Lunya
Lunya’s MO is actually sleepwear, but sleepwear, loungewear, same difference.
I own these leggings and they are a dream. The material is a cozy cotton/silk blend AND they have pockets. A huge plus in my book. I also tried these leggings which look almost identical, but the fabric is different. And I don’t recommend them. They felt crunchy and sandpapery to me, despite the majority of people giving them rave reviews. Maybe if I would have washed them they would have softened up, but at $98 they needed to be perfect straight out of the gate.
If you are in the market for a pair of leggings that are not workout pants, definitely give these a go.
If you want to stick to joggers, try these.
I have an XS and would say they run TTS. Forewarning, the lighter colors are pretty transparent in the bum. So if you wear polka dot undies underneath them, be prepared for everyone to see.
Other Brands
Below are some other sweatpants I’ve tried and my reviews for each.
Nike and Champion both make some great options, but I’ve found the styles to be very hit or miss and the sizing to be all over the place.
