A swishy pair of sweatpants can look just as stylish as a tailored suit when you pull them on with the right top. These soft-as-feather fleece lounge knit pants navy from Patagonia take a laid-back, refined approach to comfort, combining an athletic fit with a cozy, lived-in look. The voluminous, lightweight feel is similar to natural wool but without the heaviness, making these lounge pants ideal for cold weather and extended wear.

The jogger-style pants are made from a smooth, cool-to-the-touch knit fabric that’s also stretchy and wrinkle-resistant, so they hold up well when you want to manage a video call while doing chores around the house. The cotton- and modal-blend material feels gentle on skin, and the pants are tailored so they feel polished rather than like sweats.

Lounging by Day, Dreaming by Night: Creating the Perfect Men’s Beachwear and Sleepwear Collection

In this pair, Todd Snyder combines his own style with a legacy brand to make a pair of lounge pants that can serve as your new go-tos. The oversized, wide-leg joggers are cut from a super-soft and durable, heathered CloudKnit cotton, and the neatly connected knitting pattern adds to their durability, making them the ultimate loungewear staple that you can wear for years.

If you prefer a looser fit than the full-length yoga pants, this is a great pattern to try in medium-weight knit fabrics like sweatshirt jersey or ponte. It’s designed for a drapey look but also has a structured option in mid- to heavyweight knit fabrics such as supplex and merino wool. The pattern comes in a range of sizes, from 4 to 30, and is available as a PDF with print-at-home US letter and A4 sizes as well as a 36″ wide copy shop size.
