Comfort has been a key topic of conversation in the fashion world for the past few years and it is reflected in the popularity of joggers, sweatpants, and track pants. The three have similar uses and can be styled for a range of different occasions while keeping you comfortable. Joggers usually have a drawstring closure at the waist and a tapered silhouette with cuffed bottoms. While both sweatpants and joggers are made of similar soft fabrics, the former has a trouser-like fit with an elastic band waist. Track pants are made with sweat-wicking materials for athletic and training purposes.
With many emerging styling and outfit ideas, many are ditching skinny trousers and jeans for fashionable baggy pants. You can wear them while running errands for athleisure vibes or a semi-formal event while also being appropriately dressed for the occasion. Not sure how? This guide will help you style roomy bottoms just like celebrities and find the best joggers and track pants for men.
1. Fuzzy Fleece
Throw on oversized fleece-lined joggers in the winter to stay cosy as you go about your day. The easy-going joggers can be paired with any t-shirt or jacket for a stylish outfit. Take a cue from Justin Bieber and wear the oversized joggers with a printed t-shirt, denim jackets, sneakers, and a cap or beanie depending on the weather. This streetwear-inspired look will be ideal for running errands or casual brunches as it will keep you warm while helping you look put together.

2. Soft Like a Cloud
Wear cloud-like soft joggers for travel days and you will keep going back for the convenience. The pants provide enough space for you to move around and fold your legs in cramped spaces (like flights and trains). You can opt for printed joggers like Ye or go for the classic sold black-on-black outfit with a matching sweatshirt. Throw on slides (socks optional) to get into full vacation mode.

3. Training Tracks
While Tiger Shroff is a fitness inspiration for many men, he is also a style icon who wears classy looks for enviable post-gym athleisure outfits. Wear track pants after your next workout session for a transition outfit. You can opt for a bright sweatshirt, t-shirt or tank to customise the look to your personal style. Let your feet breathe in flip-flops for an easy-going vibe or match your top with complementary sneakers.

4. Enthu Ethnic
Fusion wear outfits are the top buzzword in the world of fashion and the ‘joggers meet ethnic kurta’ vibe is one you should definitely try out. The unique pairing in vibrant abstract prints and ethnic silhouettes will help you stand out at festive gatherings and cocktail parties. You can go all-out with the fusion style and wear co-ord outfits with sneakers, lean toward the ethnic side with Kolhapuri chappals for men, or keep it simple with dress shoes. This is also a great chance to add men’s jewellery rings, chains, and a single-ear stud.

5. Paint the Town Multi-colour
Joggers with colour-block details add an interesting touch without being over-the-top. The splash of colour is ideal for road trips or resort wear as they will help you look playfully stylish. Inspired by Vicky Kaushal, you can wear the colour-block detailed joggers with a similar bomber jacket and sunglasses with coloured lenses. You can also continue to colour detailing with shoes that have minimal prints. If you want to stand out, opt for a colour-blocked co-ord jogger set.

6. Slim-fit Formals
Slim-fit joggers help balance proportions for those who feel that regular joggers add bulk. You can also opt for a shirt that reaches just at your waist for an elongated silhouette. If you love wearing chequered or plaid shirts, consider wearing them with slim-fit joggers next time for a smart outfit fit for casual business gatherings or college events. Dulquer Salmaan wears a warm-toned outfit with light brown joggers that match the watch strap and a red & black t-shirt.

7. Join the Denim Club
For a night of partying, wear denim joggers for an elevated look that will remove any restrictions and allow you to show off your dance moves. Go for a biker-chic style like Varun Dhawan by wearing denim joggers with a leather jacket and combat boots to turn heads at the clubs. We also recommend buying acid wash or distressed jeans to nail the grunge aesthetic. This is also a great outfit if you want to make a lasting impression on date nights.

8. Summer Suits
The fleece jogger material may not be ideal for the upcoming hot Indian weather, but you can get the same style in a summer-appropriate fabric with cargo joggers. Even as we transition from winter, cargo joggers will keep you comfortable. Style them like Ranbir Kapoor with a white shirt layered under a lightweight denim jacket, pendant chain, matching sneakers, and tinted sunglasses. You can wear this easy-going ensemble for lunch meets and casual Fridays at work.

9. Suave Sweatpants
Straight-fit sweatpants made of lightweight fabrics will make a fashionable addition to your daily-wear wardrobe. Nick Jonas proves that sweatpants and a matching pullover are just enough for a dapper and polished appearance. He also makes a great case for keeping things simple for outings by wearing matching black loafers, a cap, and a backpack. You can opt for matching sweatpants and pullovers in any colour you prefer or even buy a printed sweater to wear with sweatpants for a colourful OOTD.

10. Classy Comfort
Love a basic pair of grey joggers? Bring them out of the closet for your next formal event or special occasion and wear it with a matching blazer – Dacre Montgomery even wore it for the Stranger Things (2016) season 2 premiere. Opt for a skinny jogger for the fitted clean look and wear boots to add a classy touch. You can also opt for a regular-fit shirt or bomber jacket, or layer a t-shirt underneath. This outfit will be ideal for pre-wedding ceremonies in the winter or office parties (and movie premiers if you’re invited).
