After a long day of running errands, answering emails, and navigating the city, I'm always waiting for that blissful moment when I finally get to step through my front door and into something undeniably comfortable. Despite most people resuming life as they were pre-2020, I have turned into a homebody following that life-changing year and will be staying in as much as possible. I may be going into the office on a weekly basis, but my comfy items are still at the forefront of my wardrobe. I mean, who doesn't love the comfort and ease of loungewear? The fact that I get to live in it multiple days a week sparks the ultimate joy.
There's one piece of loungewear, in particular, that I will always be wearing on repeat: wide-leg sweatpants. Whether working from home or running errands, I can always count on them to be comfortable and feel more stylish and elevated than traditional sweats. If you're looking for comfy, versatile pants you can wear just about anywhere, these 31 pairs of wide-leg sweatpants should be on your shopping list.
I own Vuori pants, and they're so comfortable.
