Baggy Sweatpants Are Better

Fear of God was a leading force in the slim sweats revolution of the 2010s—the fact that it's behind one of the best new-school versions on the market is a welcome sign of our more relaxed times.

For well over a century, Champion's been synonymous with sweats. Thankfully, the brand still makes some of the best affordable versions that money can buy.

The Canadian fleece titans at Reigning Champ make some the burliest no-frills sweats on the market. So it's no surprise this pair offers everything you'd expect and more—a toasty fabric, a chilled-out fit, and a choose-your-own-adventure drawcord cuff that can go from comfort to sport mode in a matter of seconds.

Forget the hoodie and house shoes: Saint Laurent's high-waisted sweats are so damn elegant they'll look even better with a silk shirt ("blouse", if you're fancy), and shiny leather boots.

You know these will look great with Js or Dunks, but try 'em with loafers and your biggest, boldest topcoat for a comfortable high-low mix.

Lululemon is (in)famous for churning out stretch-enhanced trousers you could plausibly wear to the office. But these laid-back sweatpants—which, sure, are technically in the women's section—should be your new gym-bound go-tos.

The pre-washed, lightly-faded fleece gives these beauties a "lounging in them for years" feel straight off the rack.

The roomy fit and premium fabric will make your next grocery run cozy—and downright luxurious.

The latest sneakers from Wales Bonner's link-up with Adidas might've sold out faster than you can say "anxiety era," but these retro-leaning sweats are the sleeper hit of the collaboration. Rock 'em with your general-release beaters, or chunky black derbies when you want to downplay the sporty vibe.

The button fly and belt loops make these sweats from the knit gurus at LA-based Lady White Co. about as formal as the genre gets. Wear 'em the same way you would your favorite chinos, though we'd probably advise against sneaking them into the office.

Dress these up with your heartthrob-iest wool V-neck for a new wave take on the sweatsuit.

Freaking your comfiest pants doesn't have to involve crazy colors or patterns—an aggressive flare does more than enough to convey the message.

A zip fly and reinforced knees make these more like extremely off-duty work pants, but they'll look just as chill with your fuzziest socks on a weekend spent in binge-watch mode.
