Whether you’re actually running or just running around (or, let’s be honest: just chilling on the couch), a cozy pair of sweatpants might just be the most comfortable piece of clothing on earth. With stretchy waistbands, soft, cozy fabric and a just-loose-enough fit, the best sweatpants for women are designed to fit your lifestyle — whatever you happen to be doing — with style.

Sweatpants range from moisture-wicking versions made for more serious exercise to styles cute enough to wear to the local coffee shop. Whatever your needs, look for breathable, durable and soft fabrics to take you from morning to night with ease. Fleece and French terry are two great materials for the comfiest sweatpants.

Beyond the material, there are other aspects to consider, too: Do you want a drawstring waistband for a more customized fit? Side pockets? (They’ll let you stash a small wallet or keys, but also add bulk.) Tight angle cuffs? (They’ll help keep air from blowing up the inside of your leg, and also offer the option of pushing the legs up to a slouch for a casual jogger look.)

Whether you’re ready to hit the gym, run errands or just lounge around, we’ve rounded up the best sweatpants for women to keep you comfy and warm. Check out our favorites and stock up on the pair that bests fits your style, ASAP.
