Even before the days of social distancing and spending more time at home, black sweatpants were (at least, to me) a wardrobe must. Like with most fashion items, sweats and joggers simply look more polished in black, and they lend themselves to the most put-together casual looks possible. This means that while you can definitely wear them at home on the couch, you can also wear them pretty much anywhere without thinking twice.
Now that that's all on the table, of course, I had to round up the best pairs you guys can buy now—and at every price point. Whether you're looking to spend less than $20 or are ready to throw down on an over-$200 pair, below you'll find all the black sweats worth considering, with something for everyone. High-waisted, extra baggy, slim, classic… I've got them all, so to get shopping, just keep scrolling.
A couple cargo pockets are always welcome.
An editor favorite.
Slim joggers are great for feeling slightly more polished.
I had to get a little tie-dye in here somehow.
Nike does it again.
These will make you forget jeans exist.
Classic is always a plus.
Designer sweatpants aren't a must, but if you're going to buy them, Alexander Wang is the way to go.
High-waisted sweats are perfect for styling with crop tops.
I love the oversize nature of these.
Sportswear brands always make the best sweats.
The reviews for this pair say all you need to know.
Outfit complete with the Matching Pullover
For when your Alo leggings need a break.
The matching hoodie wouldn't hurt either.
The ultimate at-home pair.
Just oversize enough for me.
This celeb-loved brand always gets it right.
The little logo on these is perfectly placed.
Get these before they're gone.
You can always trust James Perse for the best basics.
Another highly reviewed pair.
Love a good throwback.
Bonus points if you style yours with trendy tube socks, too.
