The best sweatpants for women surpass comfort. These days, instead of being designated to inside-only loungewear, they’ve moved into the realm of casual, off-duty essentials that can be worn with blazers, oversized cashmere turtlenecks and leather jackets alike. Though the best sweatpants all share a few key characteristics (namely, an elasticized waistband) there’s a surprisingly diverse offering in the category thanks to brands like Sporty Rich, Les Tien, and Wardrobe.NYC.

You can go classic with a cotton heather gray pair with a drawstring waist from Kule and Everlane, or, for an elevated look, reach for cashmere, velour, or wool styles from contemporary brands like Suzie Kondi, The Elder Statesman, or Tory Burch (the brand showed a number in their fall/winter collection). Want to play around with winter white? Reformation has a wide-leg pair and Eterne’s straight-leg option looks so chic with a tonal sweater tucked in—functional and fashion-forward. However you put your spin on this sporty staple, the softness and high-quality of the best sweatpants will effortlessly carry you through the next few months.
