It seems that the hunt for the perfect pant is never ending, but I would like to make the argument that joggers are, in fact, the ideal universal trouser that should have a place in everyone’s closet.
Great for travel, lounging, exercise and possibly even for more professional environments, a solid pair of joggers can really do it all. Tastefully tapered and available in an endless array of colors, materials and fits, I was determined to find some of the most favored options for women out there.
The fruits of my labor can be found in the list ahead that includes everything from cozy fleece joggers to breezy cargos to moisture-wicking trousers essential for your next workout.

These classic joggers are exclusive to Amazon and seem to be revered for their cozy brushed fleece lining and mid-weight cotton blend fabric. You find them in nearly 20 colors and sizes XS-6X. Reviewers say these are great for people of a shorter stature or who like their pants a little on the cropped side.
Promising Amazon review: “These are by far my favorite joggers. This purchase was my fourth pair so far. They’re soft & comfy, and they fit really well. They are a bit big in the waist, but I just roll the waistband over and tighten the drawstring, problem solved. Honestly they’re probably made that way to fit different body shapes, so this is not a criticism, just an observation. I love all the color options, and sizing has been consistent across the colors I’ve purchased. What I love most though is the length. I am 5’1 and, in general, finding pants that fit me like they should is almost impossible in the American clothing market. These hit right where they should at my ankle without causing any bunching at the knees. I can wear them pushed up or straight, with flip flops, tennis shoes, sneakers, tank tops, tees, sweatshirts… they’re so versatile, exactly what I look for in a piece of clothing. Just a great option to have in your wardrobe. They are cotton so they do shrink (which is fine in my case), and they do start to pill after several washes (remedy – air dry/pill razor). I know many have complained about the pilling, and holes forming, but I haven’t had any issues with busted seams or holes, and neither the pilling or shrinking are that big of a deal, for me at least. I feel overall they are a great pair of joggers, especially for the price! For reference I am 5’1″, 112 lbs and I got the XS” — albeeunfettered

Promising Amazon review: “I bought these as a lounging/sleep pant they look less like pjs but feel like pjs… which is what I wanted. You could wear them anytime. Washed and no Shrink. I’m normally a medium but I got a large for just a little more room.” — Kindle customer
“I love how soft and breathable these feel. They do have a slight baggyness to them which I like because I am a thick women with curves and don’t like joggers to be tight. I’ve lost a lot of weight so these are super comfy in the areas with loose skin. I would highly recommend. Honestly, it’s the material and being so breathable for me in this Florida weather.” — Krazy K

Promising Amazon review: “I needed a pair of pants that could comfortably transition from cool mornings and a/c buildings to the hot summer days when I work long production days. I liked that these were moisture-wicking, quick-dry, UPF and looked nice.When they actually arrived I loved the light weight material, feel, and fit. The color was just as I expected. When I traveled to work the pants were great for travel days and long production days alike. I found that my iPhone easily fit in the pockets and liked having the option of zipper and Velcro pockets.I will probably end up ordering at least one more pair because I loved working in them so much.” — Ashley Simpson

Available in a truly endless array of colors and patterns from lime green to mauve to navy and gray, these buttery soft joggers are one of the highest rated and most reviewed options on Amazon. They are made from a buttery soft material, feature two functional pockets and are available in women’s sizes S-3X. Promising Amazon review: “I was just looking for a pair of sweats to wear on the plane, my only requirement was a fitted ankle (soft not scrunched) since I’m short and trip over every other type out there. These felt thin when they came in which was fine since temps were triple digits but the thinness is deceptive. These pants are both cooling and warming, I don’t get it. The fabric is amazingly soft too so these moved up from travel sweats to chilling at home whenever. I will definitely be ordering a few more pairs.” — C.C.

As a teacher, I am constantly on the go and need clothing that is both comfortable and movable. These jogger pants fit the bill perfectly. I own three pairs now and wear them all the time. They are made of high-quality material and the fit is just right. I highly recommend these jogger pants to anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish option for everyday wear.” — Allison

They run true to size. I find that Eberjey’s pajama bottoms tend to run slightly small, so I sized up, but I had to return them for my usual size. I got the matching pullover sweater, and I love that, too. Are they expensive? Yes. Are they the chicest matching set I own? Also, yes.” — Merri S.

Alo’s Muse sweatpant is a beautiful take on traditional joggers, made with a plush and ultra-soft wide-ribbed fabric. Designed for a roomy but not slouchy fit, you can get these in nine colors like ivory, camel and navy and in sizes XXS-L. Promising Alo review: “By jogger standards, these are beautiful, substantial, comfortable and flattering. I’m new to Alo (I’ve bought it for my college-aged daughter a few times recently, but never for myself) and my two purchases for myself of these sweatpants and the Sherpa pant in ivory have just made me very happy. I’m in my early 50s and I don’t have the freedom to dress super comfy like a teenager and really get away with it. I’m starting to suspect Alo might be the key to comfort without looking sloppy.” — Sarah C.
