The 20 Best Men's Joggers in 2023, Tested by Style Experts
The cooler, younger brother to the sweatpant.
IF YOU'RE looking for pants that look great, but still feel incredibly comfortable, we'd suggest copping a pair of joggers. While yesterdays joggers used to be made for—you guessed it—jogging, today's best pairs lean to the side of everyday wear. Joggers, especially from top athleisure brands, provide all-day comfort while looking like you put in some effort. In a lot of ways, they're the ultimate casual outfit hack, if you style them right.
Joggers are pretty much like sweatpants in the way they sport drawstrings, cuffed helms, and super soft fabrics, but that's where the likeness ends. Joggers are a scotch more stylish, featuring a tapered leg, utilitarian design details like multiple pockets, and are usually made with moisture-wicking textiles. And now that athleisure is an acceptable everyday uniform for most guys, joggers will be a fixture in men’s closets for years to come. From high-tech bottoms to stay-at-home pants, we found the 20 best men's joggers to wear all day, every day.

What Body Type Looks Good in Joggers?
Joggers narrow your bodies natural silhouette because the legs taper to an elastic ankle band. This doesn't mean that joggers are only suitable for slim people. Since joggers are meant to fit loosely around your hips and thighs, you can find a pair to suit any body type. The key is to find a pair that fits comfortably from the knee up and doesn't get too tight as it tapers from the knee to the ankle. Joggers should not fit like leggings or compression pants on anyone so if you try on a pair and they're tight all the way through the leg, they're not for you regardless of how slim you are.
Are Joggers Still in Style for Guys?
Short answer: Yes! Joggers appear to be one of those fashion trends that stick around long enough to become more than a trend, they redefine how we wear a particular item. Sweatpants were worn baggy with an open leg for decades and somewhere around 2010 that started to change and we haven't looked back since. It is true that looser fitting, open legged sweatpants are become more readily available these days after disappearing completely for a few years. They're still the uncommon fit though and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon.
Which Brand Makes the Best Joggers for Men?
Our favorite joggers come from menswear brands Vuori, Lululemon, and our collab with Cozy Earth. They're all light and comfortable. They have that slimming look that comes from a joggers tapered leg. All three of them work just well as in the gym as they do for living your everyday life in. However, there are plenty of other brands making great joggers right now. A big up-side to how popular joggers have become is that so many brands have put a lot of thought and effort into making new and innovative designs. Now, our legs are reaping the benefits. This list has a jogger for every use and style preference, so the best brand really comes down to what you're looking for out of your joggers.
