OT. In search of the perfect sweatpant
 
Can’t believe I’m asking this but cannot find what I’m looking for.
What do you guys recommend regarding sweatpants that look and feel good that you could wear all day? The ones I’ve found all seem to be wide at bottom I assume for just pulling right over your sneakers. Looking for a tapered fit.

I'm wearing these right now.

Search for "running pants"--they're exactly what you're looking for.

How is the fit compared to major brands like Nike, Adidas etc.?

I picked up a couple of pairs of Champions a couple of years ago (early planning for my pandemic wardrobe). They're great, midweight with a flannel inside. They seem to be NLA, the current versions are lightweight with no lining. Not as nice for lounging around the house, er, I mean working from home.

So I'm always on the lookout for additional sweatpants. I recently picked up a pair of Mizuno track pants that are similar to the Champions, except that they have a single zipped pocket in the rear. Since I'm pretty much wearing sweatpants all the time, I prefer ones with side pockets (for mask and phone).

The Raphas look great, but given the reviews, might run long.

Also, take a look at Janji.

I prefer either deep or zippered pocket so my wallet does not fall out. Lost one that way getting in or out of my car.

You're looking for what are now called joggers. I really like Reigning Champ
mid weight cotton pants, but Adidas Tiros are very tapered and universally popular and great for biking, but they're mostly polyester. Uniglos joggers are great too.

If you're at all eastern European, Adidas is the only answer. Practice your squatting now.

Unless you prefer to rock Fila. Maybe le coq sportif if you're cool enough for old school.

So it's come to this - day-long wearing of sweatpants.

Apparently COVID and the effects of long-term lockdowns are much worse than I thought. :eek:

Mack Weldon and Lululemon make the best sweatpants/active pants period.

I never thought I'd wear anything Lululemon but my wife got me some for Christmas last year and they are worn more than anything else in my closet.

Tapered, fabric feels good.

Adidas Tiro Training Pants.

Both my kids live them. Almost required wearing as casual wear if you play soccer.

Agree with azrider on Lululemon. I have a pair of lightweight bottoms that are ubercomfy. I toss them on every day when I get up. Great fabric and not too hot.
