From Workout to Weekend: Joggers for Every Occasion
Do you ever wish that you could just live in sweat pants? Of course you do, we all do.
Comfy and cozy and perfect for lying around the house. Unfortunately though, we do have to leave the house from time to time, and that is where joggers come to the rescue. Where sweat pants are perfect for sleeping or lounging, joggers are a bit more elevated for day to day activities. They are made in a variety of materials, for a variety of purposes. Want to feel relaxed while running errands? Get the sweat pant material. Want to get a bit sweaty at the gym or on a hike? Luckily for you they make workout joggers. Maybe you work in a hospital or clinic. In that case most scrub brands also come in a jogger pant. Whether you are dressing casual or heading to work, there are joggers for every occasion. From workout to weekend, what are the best types of joggers for you?
What are joggers exactly?
Similar to sweat pants, joggers are more fitted, and cuffed at the ankle. Some joggers are tapered in the legs, while others are more of a loose fit. Because joggers are designed with comfort in mind, they typically have an elastic waistband, and/or a drawstring. You will rarely find a style with a zipper or button. Who has the time to mess with those honestly?
While joggers can be worn with every occasion, the most common occasion is for working out. If that is the case for you, then you want to make sure you get the right kind. Depending on the type of workout you are doing is a big factor in determining the material you want to pick. For example, if you are a runner, your best option is something breathable. Synthetic fabrics are a great option. Not only are synthetic blends breathable, but they are also moisture absorbent, which is great for sweating. Especially blends such as viscose or elastane, they are super quick drying.
If your workout is a bit less high impact, and more on the lines of yoga or pilates, you may not need the focus to be eliminating sweat. For this situation you want something comfortable and cozy, like a cotton blend or polyester. These materials are notorious for relaxation, which is key for pilates or yoga. And for those of us who enjoy running errands while looking like we just left a yoga class, without actually doing yoga, these materials are perfect for you as well.
Of course, it’s not all about working out, or looking like you’re about to work out.
Sometimes we just want to look cute while feeling comfortable. This is where more fashionable joggers come into play. Like I mentioned earlier, typically joggers don’t come with features such as zippers or buttons. However, that doesn’t mean that occasionally they don’t. The cargo style joggers are a more elevated option if you want to wear something other than a sneaker and sweatshirt to complete your look. These come with trendy pockets on the sides, and may also include embellishments such as beads or a bit of sparkle. Paired with a blazer and ankle bootie and you are ready for a comfy cozy night out on the town.
No matter what your day or night entails, there is a perfect pair of joggers waiting for you.
