The loungewear trend is anything but over... here are the best joggers on offer (1)

If you had told us two years ago that our joggers would be getting more wear than our jeans, we would never have believed you. Thanks to the pandemic, what once was reserved for working out or lazing around, has become a true wardrobe staple.

During lockdown, the jogging bottom reigned supreme. By February 2021, online searches for loungewear had seen an uptick of 171% in the space of a year. Naturally, the ever-changing fashion industry quickly adapted to this new way of life. From Kim Kardashian’s Skims to M&S, nearly all brands harnessed this opportunity to kit us out in our new WFH uniform.

If you're still avoiding joggers based on the reputation they gained in the Noughties (cast your mind back to velour sweats for a second), it's time to reconsider. Athleisure first gained luxury appeal when Clare Waight Keller put tracksuits on Chloé's runway for SS16. Other designers swiftly followed suit and then the masses followed.

Unflattering gym joggers (ideal for slobbing around) have been relegated, there's a whole new breed of smart/casual designs out there now. The rules on styling have changed, too. So whereas before these pieces were reserved for matchy-matchy lounge looks, now you can elevate them with some easy styling tips. For instance, wide-leg crepe pairs are smart enough for the office when topped with a blazer, while a bomber or trench coat gives jersey sweats instant cool points (just google Rosie Huntington-Whiteley if you need inspo).

Of course, if you just need a pair for lounging at home, comfort is key here. Good job, then, that we’ve included such a variety of styles in our edit of the best joggers for women to buy in 2022. Happy scrolling.

H&M Linen joggers

When we think of joggers, we often think of fleece fabrics or velour, so this linen design from H&M offers something a bit different. There are three different neutral shades to choose from, but we especially like boho oatmeal version – style yours with layered jewellery and sandals come summer.

COS Teddy Joggers

The faux-shearling teddy trend, popularised by SKIMs, seems to have now graduated to a perma-style, and remains a go-to fabric for casualwear. Playing with different textures is an easy way to add interest to an otherwise basic outfit.
