Men's sweatpants come in different fits, leg shapes and fabric weights. Look at the width through the leg, waistband and overall construction to find the pair that works best for how you want to wear them.

Straight leg, regular fit and relaxed shapes

The shape of the leg has a big impact on the silhouette. Straight-leg sweatpants keep a more even width down the leg, while other relaxed or regular fits can vary in how much room they give through the seat and legs.

Check the individual fit description as well as the size, since terms such as straight and regular describe different parts of the fit.

Waistbands, drawstrings and pockets

Most sweatpants use an elasticated waistband, but the details can vary. Some have visible drawstrings, while others keep the adjustment hidden inside the waistband.

Pocket construction also differs between styles, with side pockets, back pockets and other practical details depending on the model.

Fabric weight and brushed finishes

The fabric changes both the feel and structure of sweatpants. Lighter materials create a different shape from heavier fabrics, while a brushed inside gives the surface against the skin a softer finish.

Check the material and product information for the individual style, since fabric weight and finish can vary across the category.

Wear sweatpants with hoodies or T-shirts

Pair sweatpants with a men's hoodie or men's crewneckfor a relaxed outfit, or keep it lighter with a T-shirt. Sneakers work naturally with both straight and more relaxed silhouettes.
