Joggers aren’t just an ideal way to stay cozy. They can also make a serious style statement. As a sleeker, more elegant take on their sweatpant counterparts, women’s joggers make it possible to look put-together while feeling like you’re in your favorite pajamas. Whether you style them with your favorite sneakers or pair them with your glitziest heels (seriously, *all* the celebs are doing it), there’s no wrong way to rock them.
When it comes to shopping for joggers for women, it’s all in the fit—a little slouch for comfort (and a casual vibe) yet not so baggy that they balloon out. Take, for example, the lululemon Stretch High-Rise Joggers ($118), which are ideal for a day of errands or an extended shavasana. Looking for something with a sustainable edge? The Everlane ReTrack Joggers (now $69, down from $98) are made from recycled cotton and recycled polyester, and have a dreamy feel you simply won’t want to take off.

The Best Joggers For Women At A Glance
Quince vs. Jenni Kayne: Which Comfortable Fisherman Sweater Deserves a Spot in My Wardrobe?
1. lululemon Stretch High-Rise Joggers
From the supremely-comfortable Luxtreme fabric to the deep side pockets, plus the flattering high waist, these lululemon joggers are an absolute must-have, in our opinion. They’re designed for everyday use—running errands, lounging with friends, etc.—but the material does have sweat-wicking abilities built in. So if you want to wear them to yoga as well, you won’t have to worry about overheating or ruining your new favorite pants.
2. Vuori Performance Joggers
Almost the entire PureWow team owns (and loves) these comfy joggers made with Vuori’s wonderfully soft DreamKnit material that is 89 percent recycled polyester for an eco-friendly boost. “The material is so soft, but also lightweight so I don’t feel like I’m wearing heavy sweatpants,” says editor Abby Hepworth. “They’re my go-to for travel when I want to be comfortable but still look put together.” According to reviews, these joggers run true to size, with many also mentioning the flattering fit of the waistband. (For taller folks, there is a long version with a 27.5-inch inseam for the same price.)
3. Nike Dri-FIT Essential Running Pants
These Nike joggers are ideal for anyone looking to actually log some miles in their joggers. The proprietary Dri-Fit material wicks away moisture to keep you dry and comfortable, and the side pockets have zippers to safely secure your phone, ID, car keys or anything else you want to have with you while you work out. There are also zippers on the cuffs so you can easily pull these on or off over your sneakers.
4. Abercrombie & Fitch YPB neoKNIT Joggers
For the gal who loves the feel of sweatpants, but wants a more polished vibe, these joggers are definitely the way to go. They’re made from a scuba-like fabric that's sleek and won’t wrinkle, even after all day wear. The material is also sweat-wicking, so you can wear these to workouts without overheating. The waistband is fairly wide, which is great for anyone who loves a true high-waist fit. And for the petite crowd, these joggers come in a short length with a 25.5-inch inseam, two inches shorter than the regular 27.5-inch inseam.
5. Ajisai Jogger Pants
With more than 9,000 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, these inexpensive joggers are a surprisingly great find. There are numerous color options, some of which are also available in petite lengths, and reviewers rave about how luxe the material looks despite coming in under $50. “These are very soft and comfy with good stretch,” writes one customer. “They’re seriously as comfy as pajamas, but they look like “dressy” joggers. They are lightweight but warm, perfect for fall or southern winter weather.”
6. Quince Flowknit Mid-Rise Joggers
Quince has long been a PureWow favorite for chic wardrobe staples that are both affordable and sustainably made. These cozy joggers have a 25-inch inseam, an adjustable drawstring waist and two deep side pockets. The material is also anti-microbial to help prevent unwanted odors from forming, and there are multiple colors to choose from, all made using low-water and planet-friendly dyes.
7. Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Pants
These bamboo joggers have Oprah’s seal of approval, and made it onto her list of favorite things in 2020. We have to say, we’re not surprised—the bamboo blend material is naturally cooling, making these a fabulous pick for traveling, and they come in two inseam lengths. Side pockets keep these joggers functional while their pill-proof technology keeps them looking gorgeous after multiple wears and washes. They also come in a rib-knit and cashmere if you want something even cozier.
8. Girlfriend Collective 50/50 Classic Joggers
These cozy, cotton joggers come in sizes XXS to 6XL—in all colors, we might add—so everyone can get in on the comfortable fun. The waistband has a hidden adjustable drawcord for a sleek finish, and there are two jersey-lined pockets on the hips. The material is a blend of organic cotton and recycled cotton for added sustainability, but this also means you should avoid washing or drying them in high heat. (In fact, Girlfriend Collective recommends skipping the dryer altogether and laying these flat to dry.)
9. Athleta Salutation Joggers
We love these high-waist joggers for yoga sessions because of the lightweight, highly flexible material that moves with you as you go through your flow, all the while wicking away sweat and excess moisture. “These are my favorite Athleta pants,” raves one shopper. “They wear like iron, wash beautifully and are so comfortable.” Reviewers generally find they run true to size, with many noting how convenient it is that they come in three different inseam lengths—regular, petite and tall—to fit all heights.
10. LA12ST Soft Jogger Pants
With more than 29,000 reviews and a 4.2-star rating, these inexpensive joggers are a great pick for anyone looking to update their wardrobe on the cheap. Reviewers rave about the material, which is lightweight, super-soft and has plenty of stretch. Per one 5-star review, “These are my favorite pants. They're soft and comfortable, they fit well, they're affordable without being super flimsy and they have pockets. The quality and durability is fine, not amazing. I’ve had to sew a few tears in worn areas (mostly the crotch), but I don’t think it’s any worse than any other pair of sweatpants or leggings I’ve worn. Each pair has lasted a couple years with heavy use before starting to thin out in the crotch and needing repairs.”
11. ALO Muse Sweatpants
Tall gals, this one’s for you. With a 30-inch inseam, this ribbed jogger is sure to fit your long legs beautifully—a sentiment confirmed by numerous reviewers. “I love that they are so long,” writes one 6-foot tall shopper. “I can roll the hems and they still go down to my ankles. They are so soft.” And while most note that these run true to size, if you’re between sizes you may want to opt for the smaller option.
12. Amposh Maternity Joggers
These Amposh maternity joggers have a bump-friendly waistband that, although not adjustable, offers support for your ever growing baby bump so you can wear them through every trimester. It can also be worn over or under your bump, depending on what you find most comfortable. There are two pockets on the hips, and reviewers note that the material looks far more expensive than the price may suggest. As for fit, the brand suggests ordering your usual pre-pregnancy size.
13. Spanx The Perfect Pant Joggers
Spanx
Yes, you can wear joggers to the office. This pair by Spanx has a super sleek finish to look more like classic work trousers than comfy sweatpants. The material is fairly thick (though still plenty stretchy) and the waistband has built-in tummy shaping to help smooth your silhouette and hide any line if you’ve tucked in your shirt. P.S. They are machine washable, but Spanx notes you should avoid the dryer and lay them flat to dry.
14. The Gym People Joggers
With 20 percent spandex woven into the material, you can bet these sleek joggers will bend, move and stretch with you as you work out. No need to feel worried about squats either, as many reviewers note these joggers are fully opaque. Per one shopper, “The top band does not roll down and they are not super tight-fitting around the hips.” These appear to run true to size, although some folks mentioned going up one size from their usual to get a looser fit on the legs.
15. Real Essentials 3-Pack Ultra-Soft Lounge Joggers
If you’re looking to build your jogger arsenal from the ground up or score a super sweet deal on a three-pack, you’re in the right place. These ultra-soft joggers are perfect for lounging and are made with a quick-drying polyester that’s cozy and soft, with a heavy dose of stretch for added comfort. The waistband is outfitted with an adjustable drawstring and there are two side pockets large enough to fit your phone. The only hard part is choosing which fun color combo to add to your shopping cart.
16. UGG Cassady Micro-Uggfluff Fleece Pants
Ideal for anyone obsessed with UGG’s signature shearling fluff, these cozy fleece joggers are made from an incredibly-soft fleece that’s reportedly dreamy to touch. The waistband is outfitted with an adjustable drawstring, and there are two slot pockets on the hips, as well as one contrasting pocket on the bum. The fleece material gives these a distinctly casual, yet polished vibe that's ideal for lounging around with friends or traveling to or from the gym.
17. Beyond Yoga Spacedye Commuter Midi Joggers
We’re obsessed with these petite-friendly pants from Beyond Yoga that are great for shorter legs thanks to a 24-inch inseam and mid rise. They’re made with the brand’s proprietary Spacedye material, that’s reportedly super lightweight, incredibly soft and, best of all, won’t become too sheer as you bend and stretch. They’re both machine washable and dryer safe for easy care, and even have built-in UV protection for outdoor adventures.
18. Everlane The ReTrack Joggers
We’re all about making sustainable swaps that keep us looking stylish while being kind to the planet. That’s exactly where these eco-friendly Everlane joggers come in: They’re made with recycled cotton that requires fewer emissions to produce than standard cotton, as well as recycled polyester. We adore the timeless tapered silhouette with ribbed cuffs. The elastic drawcord waistband keeps them comfy as ever, and the side pockets are large enough to comfortably fit your cell phone.

How to Style Joggers for Women
While there are no rules for styling joggers, it may help to follow a few simple guidelines. YouTuber Sinead Crowe shares a handful of helpful tips in her recent video with 120,000+ views. Firstly, a head-to-toe neutral look will help elevate your joggers. That means opting for an earth-toned jogger and pairing it with a top in the same color. Tucking your fitted top into your joggers and pairing it with a mini shoulder bag will also help you look more structured.
To keep your joggers looking updated and modern, pair them with a chunky dad sneaker as opposed to a ballet flat. For a chic layered look that combines high and low, opt for a boxy trench coat or knitted blazer to pair with your joggers in a timeless hue like caramel.
To offset the bagginess of your joggers, opt for a fitted bodysuit that’ll hug your curves without adding extra bulk. Go crazy with colors and textures—getting creative with color-blocking is the goal here. For some added coverage and dimension, pair the bodysuit and joggers with an oversized denim jacket. Sneakers of any kind will look stellar.
