Mack Weldon ACE Sweatpant

ConsNot too heavy (but still warm)

Remember when comfortable sweatpants meant bearing the brunt of being weighed down? Mack Weldon’s uniquely designed fabric addresses that very issue with its micro-brushed French terry that’s as snug as it is flexible and, naturally, fit for any purpose. Style-wise, the Ace is basic, but in a good way: its tapered fit with back-ribbed ankle cuffs and hidden zippered side pocket (perfect for stashing your small daily gear) means these sweats will look rather tapered on you and thus look elevated enough for casual outings. Aside from the extra soft fabric, we also love its nice stretch for shape retention as well as traveling.

What Do Buyers Say? “Love the cut, weight of the material, and the finish details that allow for wearing as a casual pant… I like the fabric specifically. It feels very good on my skin. I also like how it wears. Not too baggy and not too tight after wash, just decently right,” says one customer.

ConsNot the best option if you want a total sweatpants look

These travel sweatpants pants are our testers’ perennial favorites: we found that these pants feel like your favorite pair of soft, cozy sweatpants for flights or lounging but look like your Monday office bottoms and work like your go-to workout pants.

Personally, I’ve worn these Public Rec pants for a long travel day that included multiple flights and layovers, from NYC to Denver. My testing shows that they’re truly the all-powerful trousers since they’re made with a unique blend of nylon and spandex that feels like a second skin but also offers a natural combo of four-way stretch, moisture-wicking, and breathability.

What Do Buyers Say? “These pants look dressy and casual depending on what you wear with them. That’s cool. The biggest most important factor is that these are the most comfortable pants EVER! They feel so good on and everyone tells me they look great,” says one customer.

ConsBuyers say this pair runs a little big

Champion’s sweatpants are true comfy style classics. The brand’s robust double-needle stitching ensures the pants last. I love how the soft elastic waistband with outer drawcord provides a snug fit that I can cinch up and secure, and how the classic style is versatile for pretty much any casual occasion. Made from Champion’s signature 9 oz. fleece that’s resistant to pilling and shrinking, the fabric feels divinely soft and provides all-season warmth. Perfect to relax in or go out and about with comfort. With open ankles, these sweatpants lean more relaxed in style.

What Do Experts Say? “These sweatpants are budget-friendly and excellent for everyday use… They are not only comfortable but also hypoallergenic. You can never go wrong with this pick, as this clothing item will never go out of style,” says Nicole Bolton, a fashion designer and the co-founder of Iconic Celebrity Outfits.
