Perfect timing, I was spiraling last night about a long-haul flight I'll be on over the winter and not having a good pair of sweatpants/joggers for that (among other things).

I have been on the same journey the past few weeks! My entire world pants stretched out a lot back in the early pandemic days. Iā€™m nearly 6ft so 30ā€ inseam minimum is preferred. Gap surprisingly became my winner since it comes in Tall! I also splurged and got velvet Tory Burch joggers which I already wore to a work event. Love your newsletters thanks!

So the rule in my house was no sweatpants, ever but if you must, NOT EVER outside the house. I kept this promise to my mother for over 50 years.

At 57, l bought my first pair of joggers from UNIQLO and love them. I do go outside with them but only styled nicely not as an afterthought.

Will l buy multiple pairs? Unlikely but at least l'm getting over my mother-induced stigma. Never to old to make a wardrobe change.

Recommendation: Uniqlo Heattech in camel colour.

Gotta say Patagonia has some cute and responsible sets as well!

I cosign the Gap rec, but always make sure you are doing the 90/10 cotton/poly blend because any higher poly and they bag out quickly. Just my tip!

Very timely, I've been looking for a postpartum sweatsuit purchase and you've sold me on the Buck Mason set!

Thank you for the research you put into this and for posting results. It saves all of us time. GAp is my favorite. ā™„ļø

I think a missed opportunity here is free city, although Iā€™m not sure if anyone is allowed to wear it outside of LA county.

Great review! While I've branched back into real clothing, I love getting comfy at home once I'm home for the day. How tall are you? I'm trying to judge which of the sweats will work best on my 5'1" frame - so many bunch up a lot!

I'm so ready to pull the trigger on The Great shrunken sweatpant, but I'm wondering if they'll look ridiculous because I have a stomach pooch. Your take is appreciated.

Not Gap. The antisemitism of their partner with Kanye is unacceptable. Vogue and Balenciaga have disconnectedā€¦. But not Gap. Um, no! Please do not promote or buy Gap. Words and actions matter.
