Matchstick Men's Chino Jogger Trouser#6535

Product Information

Sure, most of 'em come with an elastic waistband, or maybe a drawstring closure. And plenty of 'em come in the same super soft French terry or brushed fleece as your favorite sweats. But at their core, joggers remain a separate category of loungewear, a powerful sub-genre of athleisure unto themselves. Consider the jogger a close cousin of the sweatpant—the familial resemblances are there (those telltale ankle cuffs, the relaxed fit), but the differences remain. Most important among them? Joggers can be worn less casually than their relatives, especially when they're made of fabrics that lean more chinos than sweats. (Though, in full transparency, we'd strongly advise against pairing them with anything more formal than your swankiest lounging gear.) Fit: “Finding a fit that sits close to the body throughout the hip and thigh and tapers slightly towards the cuff will give you the most versatility of wear,” says Lenett. In addition, Felder says: "If you like a more fitted pant, find a jogger with a narrow taper through the calf and ankle. If you like a looser fit, then you'll want to opt for a jogger that is straighter through the leg but cinches at the ankle." Which Brands Make 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 jogger's tapered leg. All three of them work just well as in the gym as they do in living your everyday life. 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. Fashion-forward guys often incorporate joggers into their smart casual outfits for a cool look. For a masculine and sexy combination, pair your fashion joggers with a tailored button-up shirt. You may neatly fold the sleeves up just below your elbows to show off a stainless-steel sports watch. You can wear this fresh outfit with leather dress sneakers or loafers for a handsome and charming combination.

Fit: Sweatpants tend to have a looser fit throughout the leg, while joggers feature a more tailored or tapered fit. This means the legs of joggers will often touch your skin and feel a bit tight if you’ve got beefy calves. Green joggers are a great way for guys to wear these pants with all types of outfits. When buying a pair, you’ll want to get dark green jogger pants for a masculine color that will work well in most situations.While t-shirts are universally easy and comfortable, guys can wear different types of shirts with joggers to create stylish casual and smart outfits. You can style a polo shirt with your fashionable sweatpants for a preppy athletic look. Whether you want a top with short or long sleeves, a button-up shirt will add more structure and help strike a professional tone with dark-colored jogger pants. You can wear joggers with t-shirts, hoodies, button-down shirts, polos and sweatshirts to create the right outfit for the occasion. Depending on your ensemble, the best shoes to wear with joggers include trainers, sneakers, high-tops, boat shoes and loafers.

Champion churns out joggers that are as cozy as their famed hoodies. These reverse weave pants come in tons of fresh colors you can cycle through, and the brand’s robust double-needle stitching ensures the jogger lasts for years. 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 12 oz. heavyweight Reverse Weave fleece, the fabric feels divinely soft and provides all-season warmth. Perfect to relax in or go out and about with comfort. Ankle: Joggers have ribbed cuffs at the ankles and a sportier appearance compared to the relaxed vibe of traditional sweatpants, whereas sweatpants can have either an open design or ribbed cuffs.To dress up your look, start by pairing champagne-hued or light-colored khaki pants with a knitted shawl cardigan and a button-up. Fashionable khaki joggers can add another dimension to a man’s wardrobe, allowing him to ride the athleisure trend with style. If you want to elevate your outfit, khaki joggers are an excellent option and offer an elegant style guys can match with many fashionable pieces. Guys can wear khaki joggers with sweaters and dressy sneakers, t-shirts and high-tops or button-down shirts with loafers. As one of the most popular jogger outfits, you can pair khaki joggers with a white shirt and clean white sneakers. Weight: “Look at the weight of the fabric and the way it drapes,” says Kimberley Acevedo, Head of Design and Merchandising at State of Matter. “If you're buying something to lay around in the house, go heavier and softer. If you’re looking for something you can dress up and down, go for joggers with a fabric that drapes well and is lighter weight to move between environments.” Leg: Most joggers have a tapered leg below the knees and roomy seat and thigh areas above the knee. “Pretty much all of the most popular options for men's joggers right now have the tapered pant leg, which is both flattering and practical,” says LaGrone. Gary Lenett, founder and CEO of clothing brand DUER, defines jogger as a more “versatile and casual alternative” to chinos but also a more elevated option than sweatpants. “Joggers are athletic-inspired pants, often made from lightweight, high-stretch fabrics,” he adds. The signature details of joggers include “an elasticated waistband, a drawcord at the waist, and a cinched jogger cuff”, according to Lenett. "The defining feature of joggers is a tapered, and typically elastic, cuff at the ankle," adds Robert Felder, Founder of Bearbottom Clothing.
