Activewear pants have come a long way since shimmery track tear-aways and baggy sweats. Lately, joggers and French Terry have dominated the athleisure and sports apparel trends, but today there are new players on the market.
Sportswear brands are now constructing pants with a “casual pant” silhouette but with technical fabrics. Sometimes called “walk pants,” they are created with a modern cut and have the performance qualities of your favorite workout shorts. Think somewhere between jeans and sweatpants. The result is an extremely comfortable pair of pants with on-trend design that can be worn for cold workouts, a round of golf, to the bar, or even at the office.
We gathered our top six activewear pants that are outside of your traditional track or sweatpants. The versatility of these pants will make them a staple in your wardrobe, ready for almost any task or event you have planned in the colder months.
