Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve undoubtedly noticed a new trend in activewear gaining popularity: jogging pants. Worn right, jogging pants can make you look cool,
fit and on-trend, or if worn wrong, they can make you look downright scruffy and unkempt. With so many different options and plenty of hits and misses, many people wonder how
jogging pants should fit and when they should be worn.
What is a jogger?
Jogging pants were originally worn for working out, but like many pieces in the athleisure trend, they have gone mainstream and can now be worn for many occasions. Generally
speaking, jogging pants are traditional sweatpants that are lightweight, comfortable and have an athletic look. Jogging pants are widest at the top and taper at the leg to fit snugly
around the ankle. Most jogging pants have a drawstring or elastic waistband, and the ankle is also kept close to the body by using elastic. While jogging pants started out as a form
of sweatpants, today they are made from many different types of materials and come in a variety of styles and styles for a more refined and tailored fit.
How should jogging fitted?
How your jogging pants should fit depends largely on where you plan to go with them and what activities you plan to do in them. In general, the fitter the cut and tapered legs of
jogging pants, the more formal the pants. In contrast, jogger pants that are wider, have a less fitting look, have thicker material, and have less tapered legs are best for casual wear
or lounging around the house. No matter what style you’re wearing, here are some general tips you can follow to make sure your jogging pants fit:
Your jogging pants should taper at the ankle and should fit snugly around your ankle. If the bottom of your jogging pants doesn’t sit against your skin and calves, they’re too big.
Jogging pants should taper at the ankle and end over the shoe, not over it. Fitted joggers show a little sock or skin.
Jogging pants should be a slim fit that clearly defines the body, but should not be so tight that they appear fitted or “skinny.”
You should be able to move freely and with a good range of motion in jogging pants. If you feel completely restrained, you won’t be comfortable and will look more like you’re
wearing tights than jogging pants.
Generally speaking, the waistband of jogging pants should be placed on the hips. More and more jogging pants are available in high rise styles, so if the ones you buy are designed
to sit higher, they should sit at your natural waist.
If you want to wear athleisure, or just lounge around in jogging pants, it’s okay for the pants to have a little drop in the crotch. If you’re looking for a more fitted look, there should be
no noticeable sag in the crotch.
