40 Stylish Men’s Pants That You'll Actually Want to Wear (2024)

Menswear designer Snyder took inspiration from New York boxing gyms to overhaul the sleepy Champion brand, but even he couldn’t have imagined how popular the collaboration would get. The Slim Jogger Sweatpant follows a trim line that cuts the bulk out of the traditional cut, and the 18-ounce French terry fabric is so comfortable you’ll want to wear them out. Each season sees new colors, so you can buy a few and rotate them.

Since launching in 2013, Vuori has been producing versatile pants that you can wear practically anywhere. Case in point: their bestselling performance pant, which features a modern cut and super soft DreamKnit fabric that's perfect for working from home, or trekking to the airport.

No frills, just solid sweatpants: That’s how we’d describe American Giant’s Classic. Cut from thick cotton fleece, they’re generously apportioned and easy to wear, with a timeless look that spans a century.

Basic, but in a good way, as in you’ll want to get a pair of these stylish sweatpants in basically every color. Their tailored fit with back-ribbed ankle cuffs and hidden zippered side pocket (perfect for stashing your small daily gear) means they check every box.

While the company may be better known for its tennis racquets and NBA game balls, Wilson’s new Sportswear line of activewear-straddling apparel is a breath of fresh air. The Midway is super light, flexible, and comfortable. It also has clean enough lines to fool onlookers when khakis are the uniform of the day.

Loungewear’s undisputed king has made huge inroads over the last few years as more men worked from home than ever before. Its joggers claim to dry four times faster and keep you seven degrees cooler than cotton, which we can neither confirm nor deny. But they are hella comfortable when enduring your third Zoom meeting in a row.

The beauty of the best men's joggers is that they don't sacrifice style for comfort. Take Public Rec's incredibly cozy All Day Every Day Jogger, which is made with a unique blend of nylon and spandex that feels like a second skin, and cut slim for a clean fit.

For those who prefer bottoms with a looser fit for workouts, Under Armour’s Woven collection includes pants made from a sturdy but light ripstop fabric. The ankle zips add a nice old-school feel to exercise gear.

When it comes to wintertime runs, a pair of tights is essential, and while we feel they’re sufficient on their own, you can also slip them under your favorite shorts for more coverage. Even with their skintight fit, there are two deep side pockets for on-the-go essentials like a smartphone, ID, gloves, and anything else you might need.

So you run, CrossFit, play tennis, and more? Then the Guru pant is for you. This Swiss Army Knife of technical trousers is slim but not restrictive and includes hand pockets, a media pouch, and a drawcord to tailor its waistline before or after a holiday feast.

When On was founded in Switzerland, its goal was to transform running gear. The result? Flexible, water-repellent workout pants with UV protection and superb ventilation. Another plus? The unfixed zips and meshes that can be changed for year-round wear.

Since 2010, Everlane has been producing quality denim that won't break the bank, and these slim fit jeans are no exception. We love how stretchy and sturdy these pants feel, which means you'll want to wear them all day, every day.

Far from the most you can spend on a pair of jeans, Buck Mason’s Full Saddle has a price that’s both affordable and justifiable. The comfortable fit spans decades; the dark wash ensures incredible whiskering over its life. Rivets at stress points bolster durability.

Form follows function with Abercrombie & Fitch's Loose Utility Cargo Pant. It's relaxed enough for a comfortable fit, but straight enough to keep all your pocketable essentials from jangling around.

Wrangler is a go-to favorite of ours for practical, affordable menswear. This stretch cargo pant features a relaxed fit, a soft, mostly cotton construction, and a sub-$30 price tag. What's not to love?

Sweatpants or cargo pants? Why not both? Alo Yoga's Highline Cargo Sweatpant features a buttery soft diagonal French terry so it already feels like your favorite sweats. But zippered pockets on either side add all the utility of a traditional cargo pant.

The most "old-meets-new" cargo on this list, it's cut straight out of a washed organic cotton fabric that feels like it’s already got a few good stories to tell.

Second to its underwear, the ABC Pant was, for many men, the gateway drug to the intoxicating world of Lululemon.

Ben Sherman's upgraded take on its basic chino is anything but. The latest version blends nylon and performance cotton for a soft, comfortable fit. Plus, it's available in five solid colors—all for just $60.

Alex Mill's take on the classic chino incorporates subtle pleats and a stretchy, midweight fabric for extra roominess and comfort. Plus it's garment-dyed for a subtle, handsome color.
