WT02 Men’s Jogger Pants in Basic Solid Colors and Stretch Twill Fabric

In this day and age, it can be hard to find clothing meant to last. However, once in a while, we come across a fairly-priced garment that’s both durable and comfortable. The WT02 Men’s Joggers are surprisingly sturdy, and feature tight stitching and premium materials. The high durability is largely thanks to the tough cotton twill, which is blended with a dollop of spandex for a bit of stretch. They’re not the most athletic joggers on our list, but they can certainly handle more than a hard day’s work. And although hardy in design, the WT02 joggers are comfortable and spacious where it counts (specifically in the seat of the pants and the crotch area).

Pros:

Tough cotton twill to make sure they don’t come undone
Precise, tight stitching so they look sharp
Drawstring closure for added comfort
Machine washable so you can toss them in and wear them again and again

Cons:

Sizing runs slightly small

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wash my joggers in the washing machine?

Although most of the options on our list are considered “machine-washable”, it may be in your best interest to wash them by hand. If you must wash your pants in a machine, use a delicate cycle, and set the temperature to the coldest setting. Men’s joggers are quite thin and can shrink in a hot wash.

Are joggers appropriate to wear in public?

One of the best features of men’s joggers is their versatility. All of the options on our list are comfortable enough to wear as pajamas and stylish enough to wear in public. In fact, these slim-fitting pants are popularly found in urban environments and will likely never fall out of fashion in the world of streetwear.

How do I make sure to pick the correct size?

No two human bodies are exactly the same and neither are pants. So although we can’t really promise that we’ll find you a perfectly-tailored fit, we can offer some tips for locking down the right size. Firstly, scan the product listing for a sizing chart. These charts describe the corresponding sizes based on waist size.

To measure your waist size, you’ll need a length of string and a measuring tape or ruler. Wrap the string around the area of your torso that’s just above the belly button and below the rib cage. Pinch the string where it meets the end and measure this length in inches. Then, simply refer to the chart to find your appropriate garment size.

Nine times out of ten, if you adhere to these charts, you’ll find the correct size. Nonetheless, it’s still a good idea to check the product listing and reviews to see if your pants-of-choice are true-to-size.
