The luxuriously soft and stylish Scuba pants are the perfect blend of comfort and style. Casual yet chic, these sweatpants boast a tailored, straight-leg silhouette and are made with a plush velvet material that’s oh-so comfy and cozy for lounging around. Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera is no stranger to this comfortable lululemon material. She says, “I love the thickness of lululemon’s Scuba fabrics, and the 28-inch inseam length is perfect for my short legs, so I’ve got my eye on these wide-leg pants. Plus, this gorgeous burgundy color feels perfect for winter.” Rich, durable material and a great length for shorter gals? Say less.

He’ll be pleased to discover that they’re lightweight, sweat-wicking, quick-drying and incredibly stretchy, so he can feel at ease while wearing them and won’t have to worry about ruining his new joggers if he happens to break a sweat. Be sure to let him know that there are front and back pockets, plus a hidden phone and coin sleeve. It’s a sophisticated and relaxed wardrobe must-have, and a surefire way to elevate his loungewear game.

3. lululemon Softstreme High-Rise Pants

What We Like

  • multiple inseam lengths
  • shock cord waistband

What We Don’t Like

  • not all colors available in the full size range

lululemon

“I keep hearing incredible things about lululemon’s Softstreme material, so it may just be time for me to find out what the fuss is all about,” confesses Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth. “I appreciate that these have a longer inseam length, so they won't feel too short on my 5'9" frame, and really love the straight-leg silhouette, which feels a bit more posh than a classic jogger. Plus, the shock cord at the waistband is far more chic than a plain old drawstring.” Speaking of chic, Hepworth was right about one thing: lululemon’s premium Softsteme fabric delivers cozy vibes—thanks to the peach-fuzz soft texture that’ll feel silky-smooth on the skin—and boasts a four-way stretch that could steal the heart of anyone, including Associate SEO Editor Marissa Wu. “I never wear sweatpants, but I have my eyeballs glued to these as the perfect initiation pair,” she says. “[They] somehow feel a little more elevated than running out in my pajamas. And did I mention they’re made from recycled materials?”

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 0 to 20
  • Material: 53 percent recycled polyester, 38 percent Lenzing modal, 9 percent elastane

Forget about a License to Kill ‘cause your man will feel like an off-duty James Bond in his License to Train jogger. Engineered for performance, these sweatpants blend technical features with a sleek aesthetic that looks sharp and put-together even after he’s done training. The abrasion-resistant and water-repellent material can withstand plenty of activities like burpees or strenuous hikes. The streamlined design and tapered fit ensure a modern look without compromising mobility, so he can elevate his active lifestyle—emphasis on style.

5. lululemon Dance Studio Mid-Rise Pants

What We Like

  • multiple inseam lengths
  • lots of color options
  • great for lifestyle and working out

What We Don’t Like

  • mid rise may not appeal to everyone

lululemon

Meet the lululemon Dance Studio pants that caught the eye of Senior Editor Dana Dickey. “I just spied a fancy lady wearing these at a health resort and I was so impressed by how they managed to look so nature-chic. They hung like nice pants but could also give enough stretch for her to do a yoga or dance class. Plus, the hem has a drawcord that can be bunched up or released to look like a pair of what my mom calls ‘slacks.’ Also, the mid rise looks so fresh after all the high rises we have been served for so long now.” Indeed, the mid-rise waist and combo straight/cinched-leg design deliver a flattering and versatile fit that manages to remain totally zen.

  • Size Range: US 0 to 14
  • Material: 94 percent nylon, 6 percent elastane

6. lululemon Men’s Fast and Free Running Pant

What We Like

  • specially designed ergonomic gusset

Indulge in a sweat-wicking, flexible and breathable pant that’s engineered with agility and comfort at top of mind. Whether your man is heading off for a winter run or simply getting through his daily activities, these streamlined sweatpants are designed to keep up with his every stride without restricting his movement despite the tapered fit. That’s right, the brand specifically built in an ergonomic gusset that negates any tension from the crotch and accounted for plenty of room in the areas that matter (i.e., the glutes and thighs). Other details he’s sure to appreciate, you ask? The built-in ventilation to help him keep cool and the thoughtfully placed reflective details to keep him safe on night runs.

7. lululemon Ribbed Softstreme Flared Pants

What We Like

  • lots of color options
  • trendy silhouette
  • comfy high rise

What We Don't Like

  • only one inseam length available

lululemon

Sweatpants or high fashion? I’ve never seen sweatpants that looked less like sweatpants until today…and I’m so here for it. In fact, I need them. These ribbed flares look like they’re straight out of the aughts, when Paris Hilton ruled the world in her Juicy Couture tracksuits. I love that the super flattering flare silhouette has a zipper on either side that’ll alter the hem into a subtler straight-leg statement. Talk about ingenuity. They’re the luxe sweatpants that redefine loungewear and relaxation, plus they’re made with the same Softstreame fabric Hepworth is eager to try.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: US 0 to 14
  • Material: 67 percent recycled polyester, 28 percent Lenzing modal, 5 percent elastane

Best Unisex lululemon Sweatpants

8. lululemon Men’s Steady State Joggers

What We Like

  • unisex fit
  • zippered pockets
  • multiple inseam lengths

What We Don’t Like

  • few color options

lululemon

Yes, these joggers are listed as a men’s style, but tons of reviewers say they work just as well for women, making them a great unisex option that beautifully combines utility with style. Crafted for all activities, whether you like running, yoga or lounging at home, these joggers are made with a sweat-wicking fabric that ensures you stay dry and comfortable. One female customer, who struggled finding sweatpants that flattered her curvy silhouette in the women’s section, notes that these “fit like a dream! I love that all the pockets have zippers too,” she writes. They have a modern, tapered fit, and the gathered hem at the ankles adds a touch of cool. The breathable cotton fabric blend features a small trace of elastane, enhancing the material and making it ultra-stretchy. And the practical elements, such as the zippered pockets and drawstring waistband, provide convenience for whatever comes your way.

  • hidden drawcord waistband

What We Don’t Like

  • only one inseam length available
  • reportedly fit a little big

lululemon

Fashioned with cozy, stretchy fabric, these joggers are designed for versatility. The breathable cotton-blend fabric will feel soft against your skin and deliver a lightweight warmth. (Psst…that means that you can wear these throughout the seasons for 365 days of coziness.) The flattering sweatpants with cargo pocket detailing on the sides are the ideal pair to reach for when you’re in need of casual comfort but don’t want to compromise on style. They feature a relaxed-yet-tailored fit, a hidden adjustable drawcord waistband and mid rise that reviewers say hits in just the right spot to be incredibly flattering. Just know, reviews also suggest these sweatpants run a bit big, so you may want to go down one from your usual size.

Fast Facts

  • Size Range: XXXS to XL
  • Material: 70 percent cotton, 30 percent recycled polyester

Best Cropped lululemon Sweatpants

10. lululemon Softstreme Straight-Leg Cropped Pants

What We Like

  • comfy high rise
  • hidden shock cord in waistband

What We Don’t Like

  • not dryer safe

lululemon

Who knew sweatpants could look so chic? This cropped Softstreme silhouette is great for those looking for a shorter inseam, or even petite gals who weren’t satisfied with the classic Softstreme’s 28-inch inseam. They have that same elevated shock cord waistband and sleek, comfy material, this time with a straight leg that’s designed to hit mid-calf, although the exact inseam length isn’t listed. Reviewers rave that the material doesn’t bag or stretch in the knees or bum, even after months of wear. “I could live in these pants,” writes one 5-star reviewer. “They are true to size, perfect for traveling or days you want to dress comfortable but still look chic.”

Fast Facts
