These $20 Amazon Sweatpants Have Four Stars, More Than 2,000 Reviews, and Also My Heart
In high school, I joined the track team for the sweatpants. From that point on, Sporty Spice (or Lazy Spice, depending how you spin it) became my signature lewk.
It took a while, but eventually, notable fashion people like, IDK, the Kardashian-Jenners and Hadids got on my level, making sweats acceptable for all situations.
While I pride myself on a fully stocked athleisure drawer, there was one item missing from my catalogue of comfy pants: fashun sweats.
Enter, Amazon.
If you follow Colette Prime—and you definitely should—you know Amazon has lots of very stylish, very affordable pieces. BUT as I was pleased to discover, the retailer taking over the world also has a killer selection of chillin’ styles that cost about as much as I’m willing to pay for such clothes.
And that brings me to my new favorites: Amazon’s SweatyRocks sweatpants (aka Women’s Drawstring Waist Long Workout Yoga Active Pant With Pocket, in Amazon speak).
Here’s why I’m never taking them off.
They’re so cute!
I wore my brand-new pants on a brunch date with my super-stylish bestie (linked to emphasize her fashun expertise) and the first thing she said was, “You look so cute!” Fam, I was wearing sweatpants! To be fair, I styled them up a bit with a cropped hoodie, high-top sneakers, a camel coat, and a shower.
There are so many styles.
While my collection of cotton-based pants needed a little color, there are plenty of neutral options that are perfect for mixing and matching with things you already own.
They’re really, really comfy.
While the fabric is about 65 percent polyester, 30 percent cotton, and 5 percent spandex, my legs felt surprisingly cool from brunch to running errands on a 60-degree day. Also, less cotton means less shrinkage in the dryer.
Because I’m not a person who grocery shops in her brunch finest, I made a pit stop at home to change into a more durable (read: not white) sweatshirt before doing my Sunday routine. Even though I was dressed down, I felt like a bad bitch while scoping out the organic kale and confident enough to snap this pic in an extra-shiny window on the way home.
They’re $20. TWENTY DOLLARS.
Think of all the things you can buy while wearing these budget-friendly pants! Pasta (elastic waist FTW!), friends to take your picture wearing cool pants, or 30 Tide to Go pens for when you inevitably spill on these because you’re wearing them all the time.
They run long.
If you have long legs, you good. If not, maybe size down one or two slots so that the elastic ankle cuff (is that the proper terminology here?) hits right at or above your ankle bone. I ordered a small and could have ordered an extra small (again, elastic waist FTW).
The verdict
I am in love and very likely to wear this exact outfit to every brunch from now until I order these pants in green.
