Matchstick Men's Chino Jogger Trouser#6535

Product Information

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. You can also choose to pair dark grey joggers that are tight around the calf and ankle with white trainer or sneakers and a sweatshirt or hoodie for a cool street vibe. Since grey won’t clash with other colors, you may use these pants to experiment with different shades when it comes to shirts, outer layers and accessories. 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.

Durability Test: To see if the joggers could last and withstand wear and tear over time, we put each jogger through at least six cycles of wash and dry cycle, wear-tested for at least six hours per day over a duration of two weeks, as well as examined the stitching and overall construction to ensure their durability. 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.)

The Best Classic Joggers

Function: Joggers are versatile for both athletic and casual wear, while sweatpants are primarily associated with casual lounging and relaxation. To create a smart casual outfit with a silhouette similar to skinny jeans, you’ll want to choose between dress sneakers and sleek Chelsea or chukka boots. Lace-up boots are more casual and make a bold statement.

You’ll want to put on simple t-shirts to balance out statement fashion joggers boasting trendy patterns, textures or constructions. These combinations will create bold yet well-composed outfits. Guys can also do this the other way around with basic joggers and daring t-shirts in statement colors or patterns. Try neutral-colored pants and then experiment with tops like Fendi’s logo-patterned cotton-jersey t-shirt, Balenciaga’s oversized camo t-shirt or Comme des Garcons’ polka dot shirt.

For a perfect fit, Mirosh recommends “a fit that's neither too baggy nor too tight”. “A tapered fit is a popular choice as it provides a modern look without restricting movement,” he adds. And avoid going a size larger to maintain the chic look of joggers. 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. Okay, you got us: the best joggers for men are basically just gussied-up sweatpants. It's true. Guilty as charged. But "basically" is the operative word here, and in that single, seemingly straightforward term lies a world of abstraction. Because joggers aren't just sweatpants, at least not really. 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. 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.

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. 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.” 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. Ankle Closure: “Some designs come with a cuffed ankle and some with elasticized ankles,” says Reuven. “Consider which one fits your style the best. I recommend the cuffed ankle; it’s comfortable and gives a stylish look.” Mirosh adds that “elasticated ankle cuffs keep the joggers in place and create a tapered look”. Just make sure the cuffs are snug but not too tight and hit just above the ankle.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. 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.
