Best sweatpants for everyday wear

Start with the Signature Sweatpants. A 300 GSM cotton shell over a soft fleece lining is the sweet spot for everyday wear: warm enough for a cold morning, not so heavy they feel like pajamas, and the straight leg reads tidy with sneakers or boots. It's the pick most people should buy first.

Who the others suit:

• Minimalist Sweatpants — if you want a cleaner, less sporty look; the cotton-poly blend resists wrinkling and the elastic hem keeps them off the floor.
• Accolade Straight Leg (Alo Yoga) — if you'll wear them out of the house and want a French terry that drapes well; the higher rating count on the second listing suggests it's the better-loved version.
• Everyday Sweatpants (Ganja White Night) — if you like a heavier, structured French terry and a relaxed fit.
• Casual Wide Leg CL513 — if you prefer a wide, flowy leg over a tapered one.

Skip anything with a baggy or oversized cut if you want them to double as errand pants.
