Best sweatpants for men: pick the hem, then the fabric

The best sweatpants for men start at $50 for heavy 460 GSM fleece, because the ankle cut decides where you can wear them.

The best sweatpants for men start at $50, because the hem decides where you can wear them. An open hem falls straight like trousers outside, while an elastic cuff locks you into athletic gear.

Chrome Hearts, OUT and Nike, from the boutiques on within.

More Chrome Hearts on within

Cloth weight matters far more than the graphic printed across the pocket. Dropping $800 on sweatpants buys the Chrome Hearts name, but the $50 pair at the other end is 460 GSM French terry cotton.

A nylon or ripstop track pant is made to move. Match the ankle opening to your footwear first, then check the fabric line before handing over your card.

Aime Leon Dore was founded in 2014. Their Aime Leon Dore x New Balance Sweatpants Cream sit at $200 CAD in size M. Nearby, the Sp5der Beluga Sweatpants Slate Grey/Green run $180 CAD, and Denim Tears The Cotton Wreath Sweatpants Grey costs $300 CAD.

Chrome Hearts began in a Los Angeles garage in 1988. At 132 Cumberland Street in Yorkville, the shop lists 33 pairs of Chrome Hearts priced from $800 to $8,000 CAD. A pre owned Chrome Hearts Leg Scroll Logo Sweatpants Black costs $800 CAD in size S.

How they should fit

An open bottom leg should rest lightly on the top of your shoe without dragging. A cuffed jogger belongs directly above the ankle bone. A nylon track pant works best with a loose break, giving the shell space to flex.

When shopping in Toronto, check boutique operating hours before heading out. Due West on Queen Street West opens Monday to Saturday from 11 to 7. The Yorkville shop opens daily from 12 to 8.

Common questions

What are the best brands of sweatpants?

The best brands of sweatpants balance durable fabric construction with a leg cut that suits your footwear. Outlined delivers heavy 460 GSM cotton at $50 CAD for an open hem, while Ksubi and Nike have cuffed pairs under $200 CAD.

How to style baggy sweatpants for guys?

Style baggy sweatpants by pairing wide hems with structured shoes and keeping your top layers fitted. An open leg should break once over retro sneakers or flat boots without puddling around your heel.
