7 years ago, I bought my first pair of joggers while I was on vacation. I liked the way they fit and how they would show off my shoes.
At the time joggers were a new style and nobody was really wearing them yet. When I got back home and wore them to a party ,a lot of people were complimenting my pants. A few months later joggers became a fashion trend.
Are Joggers Still in Style?
Joggers are still in style. Joggers are comfortable and stylish pants that are a mix between jeans, chinos and sweatpants. Over the last 5 years, joggers have become increased in popularity and the style has evolved. Early jogger styles were beige or tan. Now joggers tend to be black, blue or grey.
In this post, I go over men’s jogger styles, how to wear joggers, what to look for in jogger pants and where to buy them.
Men’s Joggers Styles
There are many styles of joggers, the most popular styles being casual and athletic Joggers.
Casual joggers have been around for a few years. Although the style has evolved the basics remain the same. Joggers will always have an elastic bottom and they are made for comfort.
Over the last year, athleisure has risen in popularity. Athletic wear is no longer only meant for the gyms. Now, athletic joggers are styled in a way where they can look good no matter where you are going.
You can wear joggers when you are going out to restaurants, going shopping or to a friend’s house.
When to Wear Athletic Joggers
Athletic joggers are best for when you are doing physical activity. Athletic joggers are great versatile pants as you can wear them with so many different outfits and they are so comfortable.
You can wear these jogger pants to the gym, playing sports and when you want to be comfortable when you go out. I wear athletic joggers super often as I love to be comfortable when I leave the house.
During the pandemic, I began wearing more and more athletic joggers. Often times, I would hang out outside so there was no need to dress up nicely.
If you don’t have any athletic joggers I would recommend picking up some and trying them out. These pants have been a game changer for me. If you want some more stylish sweatpants, check out athletic joggers.
When to Wear Casual Joggers
Casual joggers are great for when you are going out to parties, dinners and even clubs. Black, beige, grey or navy blue joggers can be worn with so many different outfits.
Casual joggers make for some really great outfits and like the athletic joggers they are a super versatile pants. Whether it’s going out or chilling with the boys or hitting a party, casual joggers are nice and trendy pants.
If you have never tried casual joggers, it’s a great idea to add some to your wardrobe. A versatile clothing item like joggers will match with so many different fits.
How to Wear Joggers
The beauty of joggers is that they are so versatile – you can wear joggers with so many different outfit for all kinds of occasions.
Joggers go really well with t-shirts, hoodies and crewnecks. For casual outfits joggers are a must-have. They look a lot better than regular jeans or sweatpants.
Joggers will also show off whichever shoes you’re wearing because of the slim fit style and elastic cuffs. Match them up with your favourite kicks or some white sneakers.
What Not to Wear with Joggers
Joggers are great and go with a lot of clothes but there are some items that you shouldn’t wear joggers with. For example, avoid wearing them with:
- Dress shoes
- Suits
- Sports coats
- Dress shirts
Joggers are great for casual wear, but they do not look good with formal clothing. You want to avoid wearing them on those occasions as you will be underdressed.
What to Look for in Joggers
When looking for joggers it’s important to know which style you want. If you want them for playing sports or just to have some comfortable pants, it’s better to go with the athletic joggers.
If you’re planning on wearing them to parties, events and clubs, casual joggers are the ones for you.
Certain joggers will be more baggy than others, so it’s important to try them to make sure they give the fit that you want. The fit of the joggers is super important as it can be the difference between looking sharp and fashionable or sloppy.
Depending on the material, joggers can be really comfortable or they can feel like you are wearing jeans. When looking for joggers, check the material so you know how they will feel when you are wearing them.
Where to Find Joggers
If you want some simple and affordable joggers, check out H&M. They have every style of joggers in plenty of different colours. Some styles H&M has are denim, cargo and my favourite, Skinny Joggers. The Skinny Joggers are super comfortable, have zipper pockets and they’re pretty cheap!
Uniqlo has the Men’s Ultra Stretch Active Joggers. These joggers come in some pretty cool colours and they are great quality. I got these a couple of months back and I regret not picking up more. They have a super nice fit and they are super comfortable.
American Eagle has more casual joggers. The AE Trekker Jogger is super cool. Personally I like the black pair as they are so versatile and they look super good. If you are looking for some pants to go out in the Trekker Jogger from American Eagle is great.
For athletic joggers, my number one recommendation would be to check out the Gymshark Crest Joggers. These are great for physical activity, stylish and a great value. Some good quality workout clothes can be pretty expensive but Gymshark has some really reasonable prices.
For a really trendy jogger, Kuwalla Tee has some great options. They do come at a more expensive price point, but these pants are unique and look very different from the other brands mentioned above. I would check out the Kamikaze Biker Denim these are really stylish joggers that look super trendy.

Fashion trends come and go but joggers seem to be staying around for a while longer. They continue to evolve and stay fashionable. Through materials, the fit and colours, joggers are still a big part of my wardrobe like they have been for years now.
