10 Cozy Sweatpants You’ll Still Want When This Is Done
At first, when you’re holed up at home, putting on proper clothes can feel like a chore. Eventually, you realize it’s an important part of maintaining routine and adding structure to your day, so you transition from pjs (Prada, probably) to loungewear. But after weeks of lazing about in your ratty sweatpants from summer camp, you start to yearn for the good ol’ days of Getting Dressed. Donning your finest suits feels excessive (by all means, do your thing), but what’s the point of wearing jeans and a jumper at home?
Scientists will spend millennia answering that very question, but in the meantime, we have a solution: the luxury sweatpant. Plush with the right amount of stretch for mobility, but with a cool, modern silhouette so as to qualify as “outside clothes”. Here are 10 options you’ll still want to wear when you can finally leave your house.
Louis Vuitton Monogram Track Pant
These technical track pants have a relaxed fit and are adorned with a discrete textured Monogram LV effect. The right leg also includes a signed metallic staple from Virgil Abloh’s latest collection. No wonder these are from the “Staples Collection”.

Thom Browne Classic Sweatpants
Not many designers have both gray suits and gray sweatpants as their signatures. But not every designer is Thom Browne.
