Seasons may come and go, but the best sweatpants for women are eternal. Whether you’re running errands, settling in for a Netflix marathon, or heading to the gym, sweats and joggers are year-round wardrobe staples. They’re still comfy, of course, but they’re no longer something to hide away inside your home; with the right styling—such as a trench coat paired with sharp loafers and dainty jewelry—sweatpants can be undeniably chic. (We also love the classic hoodie-and-white sneakers combo.)
To help you navigate the very crowded world of sweatpants shopping as winter gets into full swing, we turned to our editors, who are just as obsessed with comfort (and looking good) as you are. From elevated styles perfect for coffee dates to super-stretchy pairs that’ll rival your favorite leggings during workouts and at the airport, these are the very best sweatpants for women right now.
