There’s no denying the truth: We’re all living in sweatpants right now. Even as the temperatures remain at their highest (Seriously, does anyone know when these heat waves will end?), we’re over here snuggled up in loungewear pieces as the air conditioning blasts us relentlessly. There’s just something so comforting about sitting around wearing plus-size sweatpants, right? Maybe it’s the fact that they’re basically pajamas we can wear outdoors, or perhaps it’s because sweats are just so damn comfortable. Either way, we’ve decided that there’s no limit to the number of pairs our wardrobes should have—so we’re shopping as many as we can.
Though sweatpants are great for lazy days spent watching Selling Sunset on Netflix, they’re also (thankfully) easy to wear with other casual pieces in our wardrobe. Yes, you can reserve your sweats for staying indoors, but why not wear them all the time—even when running errands, hanging out with friends, or going to grab coffee? Plus-size sweatpants these days are cute enough to wear with a ratty 10-year-old tee at home or with a bodysuit and sneakers while out on the town. And as fall approaches, now is the time to really lean into the loungewear trend and create some sweatpants outfits of your own.
Of course, you’ll need to start with a few (or 32!!) pairs of plus-size sweatpants. One pair for every day of the week is simply not enough, thanks. We need options—and that means having our drawers packed to brim with cozy sweats we can wear while we lounge around our homes as well as outdoors. There’s never been a better time to stock up on sweatpants, so you might as well treat yourself.
Whether you just want to add a few new loungewear mirror selfies to your Instagram feed or feel the need to prepare for the cooler temperatures ahead, there are plenty (and we mean plenty) of plus-size sweatpants that will make staying comfortable, cozy, and cute (the three C’s if you will) ridiculously easy. Shop our favorite pairs below, then go forth and live the loungewear-filled life of your dreams.
