Sweatpants & Joggers

The terms are often used interchangeably. Sweatpants usually describe relaxed jersey trousers, with or without a cuffed ankle, while joggers typically have a slimmer, tapered leg with a ribbed cuff. Track pants are a smarter variation, often with a crease or pleat.

Yes. Heavyweight sweatpants in a good fabric look clean and considered, especially with a matching sweatshirt or a simple knit and clean trainers. A tailored track pant, such as Universal Works' Pleated Track Pant, can even be worn with loafers.

Cotton jersey can shrink slightly, especially in a hot wash or tumble dryer. Wash on a cool cycle and air dry to keep the fit. Most of our sweatpants fit true to size.

Sweatpants should feel relaxed through the seat and thigh without being baggy at the waist, with the hem either cuffed at the ankle or falling straight onto the shoe. Choose your usual size, or size up for a looser look.
