Choosing The Best Designer Joggers
Let’s be honest; nobody jogs in joggers. I’m sure that some gym rats wear their drawstring pair for reps, but most of us consider exercise as ‘squatting’ down on the couch, ‘stretching’ your legs on the recliner, and ‘reverse’ downward dogging to watch Netflix.
Sweatpants are a state of mind, especially when coated in Cheeto crumbs and Mountain Dew. Slinging sodas on a Sunday isn’t the most glamorous of off-day activities, but who says that it can’t be improved on?
No, I’m not talking about microwaving your last bit of popcorn. Instead, why not romanticize the stay-at-home experience by going designer? After all, most luxury brands cater to relaxed silhouettes. From bathrobes to slides, it’s relatively easy to turn couch potato into a haute couture potato.

Where to Buy Designer Joggers
The best part about designer joggers is that it requires no fitting or tailoring. They’re supposed to be loose and baggy. With that in mind, you can easily shop for your coveted pair online. That’s right; you don’t have to budge from the couch to buy an extra set of sweats—what a time to be alive.
Below, we’ll share some outlets to consider if you’re buying designer joggers:
- Moda Operandi
- Net-A-Porter
- Nordstrom
- Farfetch
- SSENSE
- Mytheresa
- Saks Fifth Avenue
How to Choose the Best Designer Joggers
I know; joggers should seem like another mindless purchase. Untailored and relaxed in fit, there’s no need to worry about finding the best of the best—right?
Well, there’s a huge difference between couch potato and effortlessly chic. A good pair of sweats should still look fashionable, so it’s still important to consider factors such as style, material, and comfort.
If you can’t tell the good from the bad, we’ll outline some specifics to consider the next time you shop for designer joggers. Let’s get started!
Brand
It goes without saying that the best designer joggers should come from a reputable store. For instance, companies like Prada, Ralph Lauren, and Eleventy are highly recognized for their collection of sweatpants. As always, you should also look up customer reviews to see if the price matches the quality.
Size
Traditional joggers should come in a loose fit. They shouldn’t be tight or slimming at all, as that usually falls into leggings territory. It’s alright to own a pair of oversized sweatpants, so long as they don’t impair your movement. If you constantly have to cuff or pull them up, chances are that you purchased a size that’s too big.
Style
Designer joggers come in various colors, patterns, and cuts. This may include monogram prints, bold hues, and embroidery. It’s worth noting that some luxury brands cater to a specific style, so it’s important to consider your overall tastes before settling in on a company.
Material
It’s a common misconception that sweatpants are made of cotton and jersey. But, from the pants we’ve featured so far, some joggers are made out of faux leather, cable knit, and cashmere wool. Considering that some materials work best as outer clothing instead of relaxing and exercise, it’s crucial to consider how you typically wear sweats.
Comfort
Obviously, the best part about joggers is how comfortable they are. They should feel snug and loose around the waist and legs. Of course, some pants—such as the Tibi faux-leather joggers, may feel slightly constrictive due to their material.
If you want that classic couch potato experience, it’s essential to consider the fabrics used when buying sweatpants.
Breathability/Warmth
Nobody likes a stuffy pair of sweats. With that being said, wearing a super thin set of joggers during winter isn’t desirable either. Before settling on a design, you should account for factors such as breathability and warmth. This ultimately depends on the current season and where you live.
Price
From the sweatpants we’ve featured, you’re looking at a price range of about $875 to $2,995. It’s worth noting that most designs retail for about $1,000. I know it’s a lot to pay for a pair of joggers. Ultimately, you’re paying for brand recognition and not so much for the quality.
How to Style Designer Joggers
The best way to wear sweatpants is to go full athleisure. While it’s common to don a hoodie, why not opt for that chill insta-baddie look?
This outfit features a flattering pair of white elasticated joggers, a one-shoulder sports bra, and a matching sweatshirt. Dainty jewelry is an absolute must if you want to look like an L.A influencer.
There’s one thing that I learned about sweatpants: the plaid and joggers pair are the bread and butter of athleisure. It’s the perfect look that combines couch potato with classic streetwear.
We suggest fashioning an oversized button-down and a hoodie underneath for extra layering. Of course, no look is complete with a set of white sneakers.
Considered the go-to look for any city boy, this casual ensemble is perfect for hangouts and fast food lunch dates. This outfit comes with grey sweatpants, a green crewneck sweater, a black bomber jacket, Converses, and a beanie to top the whole look off. Honestly, the only thing missing from this OOTD is a matching tote bag.
For those struggling to compose a cohesive fit, the safest bet is to go monochrome. For example, this outfit comes with matching sweatpants and a zip-up hoodie in slate gray.
To avoid monotony, it’s important that you add a colored accent. In this instance, it’s a white tee, a set of socks, and a pair of shoes.
FAQs
Are men’s designer joggers still in style?
Of course! The best part about sweatpants is that they’re basically unisex. Anyone can wear them. If you find a pair that’s sold in the women’s section, that shouldn’t prevent you from ‘switching sides.’ Honestly, the only thing that may come as a hindrance is the sizing options.
For those on the hunt for men’s style joggers, we suggest giving Ralph Lauren, Versace, and Moschino a go.
What are the best fitting designer joggers?
Opting for the ‘loosey-goosey’ approach isn’t for everyone. Sometimes it’s desirable to show off those curves. If you’re looking for something more Instagrammable, here are the best fitting designer joggers that we previously featured in our list:
- Herve L. Leroux side-trim joggers
- Brunello Cucinelli drawstring-waist joggers
- Prada cuffed wool joggers
- Brunello Cucinelli slim-fit cashmere joggers
- Rick Owens cropped cashmere joggers
- Eleventy cable-knit joggers
- Ermanno Scervino buckled-waist jogger-style slim-fit trousers
What brand has the best designer joggers?
In regards to quality, style, and practicality, Brunello Cucinelli takes the cake for the best designer joggers title. For traditional sweatpants, it’s common to offer an untamed, loose fit that doesn’t provide much in the way of shape.
In the case of Cucinelli, he manages to reinvent the old-school couch potato look as an effortless fashion statement. They look functional, expensive, and super flattering—which is what you want with a pair of pants. Yes, they’re costly, but it may be worth the investment if you wear joggers 24/7.
What are the best joggers for men?
The best joggers, regardless of gender, should be comfortable, practical, and stylish. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if they’re loose or slim-fit in silhouette—they must score full points in these three factors to guarantee continued wearability.
Aside from fashion, we recommend getting a pair of sweatpants that are easy to clean. After all, garments that require hand washing or dry-cleaning are typically left to collect closet dust.
How to wash joggers for men?
Compared to button-up shirts and leather jackets, joggers are usually the easiest to wash. Most sweatpants are laundry-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about visiting your local cleaner. With that being said, designer sweats may require some additional maintenance.
For those who own a pair from Ermanno Scervino or Ralph Lauren, here are some tips and tricks that you can use at home:
- Wash in cold water: if you don’t want your pants to color-bleed, it’s best to do a cold rinse instead of hot water.
- Stay away from bleach: unless you own a stained pair of white sweatpants, bleach can ruin the color of your joggers.
- Tumble on dry and low: Designer sweatpants should be gently tossed in the dryer to minimize shrinking.
