Activewear in Young Men's Clothing(63)

How should men’s joggers fit?

Jogger pants have a tapered fit at the ankle, typically with an elastic band around your ankle that should end before your shoe. They should not sit on your shoe or bunch up around your ankle. Make sure your joggers have a slim fit, but are not too tight. These pants can be worn as casual pants or athletic pants.

What material of workout shorts should I buy?

Depending on your workout and the climate, look for fast-drying material that does not irritate your skin. Some good options for the exterior of the shorts include moisture-wicking cotton, spandex, polypropylene, or polyester. Many brands use a combination of these materials. These materials are ideal for keeping your skin dry and preventing chafing. Look for interior liners also made of these materials.

Are sweatpants and joggers the same thing?

Sweatpants and joggers are not the same thing. Joggers have a tapered fit and end just above or right at the ankle. They are slim-fit pants made of lightweight material. Sweatpants have a looser fit, typically the same fit from hips to ankles. They may hit the top of your shoes. Sweatpants tend to be made of more heavyweight material. Both pants can be used for working out, but joggers can also be worn as day-to-day casual clothes.
