The best joggers for women are stylish and synonymous with all-day comfort. After reviewing many pairs for softness, breathability, fit and quality, the Forbes Vetted team determined which joggers are worth a spot in your daily wardrobe. Our top pick overall is Lululemon’s Scuba High-Rise Jogger, a well-made bestseller that’s great for lounging, travel and post-workout. For a slightly more affordable jogger on active days, we like Athleta’s Venice Jogger, and Quince’s Cashmere Sweatpants are a luxurious take on cozy joggers minus the markup.
At Forbes Vetted, we review all types of fashion and we put that expertise to the test here, evaluating the best joggers for women based on our first-hand experience with many of the brands on this list as well as our in-depth reporting. For more athleisure suggestions, we also have guides to the best yoga pants and leggings for women.
Sizes: 0 to 20 | Colors: 3 total, including Black and True Navy | Materials: 70% cotton, 30% polyester
What’s notable: Soft, breathable fabric; drawcord can be worn on the inside or outside
What could be better: Only comes in three colors
Lululemon has built its reputation on all things athleisure; as you’d imagine, the selection of joggers is impressive and varied in style, from cropped to full length, lean to roomy. Their top-rated Scuba High-Rise is cut from breathable cotton fleece and is a versatile pick whether you wear them for a workout or just running errands.
Sizes: XXS to 3X (regular, tall and petite sizes) | Colors: 9 total, including Abalone Grey and Chrome Blue | Materials: Nylon, spandex
What’s notable: 4-way stretch fabric keeps its shape
What could be better: Pockets might not lay flat
Athleta specializes in fitness essentials made to fit women’s bodies specifically. When it comes to joggers—which often have a lean cut—this is especially important. Their highly-rated selection extends to size 3X and includes fabrics beyond cotton, such as technical nylon and even linen. The cinched-ankle Venice Joggers have a semi-fitted, relaxed feel with a mid-rise waistband that lightly supports and holds you in.
Best Travel Joggers For Women
Stylish And Comfortable On The Go
Girlfriend Collective 50/50 Classic Jogger
Sizes: XXS to 6X | Colors: 9 total, including Birch and Wine | Materials: 50% recycled cotton, 50% organic cotton
What’s notable: They’re garment dyed for a lived-in look
What could be better: The pockets aren’t very deep
Girlfriend Collective makes sweats you can feel good about wearing for many reasons, including that they’re made from recycled, discarded fabric scraps and 50% organic cotton, grown without chemical pesticides or insecticides. The Seattle-based brand has a great plus-size unisex selection in on-trend colors, including this dusty rose birch pair.
Best Soft Joggers For Women
Fleece-Lined With Organic Cotton
Mate Fleece Relaxed Pocket Sweatpant
Sizes: XS to 3X | Colors: 13 total, including Midnight and Moss | Materials: 100% organic cotton
What’s notable: Lined in fleece and sustainably made
What could be better: They run a little small
Mate is made sustainably in Los Angeles with super soft organic cotton and sustainable practices. The fashionable and Instagram-friendly sweatpants range from XS to 3X and you get waist and inseam measurements for every size, which makes it easy to find a perfect fit.
Best Warm Joggers For Women
Cozy Soft Fleece In A Straight Leg
Skims Cotton Fleece Classic Jogger
Sizes: XXS to 4X | Colors: 6 total, including Spruce and Heather Grey | Materials: 70% cotton, 30% polyester
What’s notable: An interior waistband allows for a tighter fit
What could be better: It comes in only muted colors
To say Skims loungewear is popular is a bit of an understatement—the styles constantly sell out and command waitlists. Their cozy soft cotton fleece collection has a variety of styles like shorts and hoodies, but our favorite is the Classic Jogger. The cut enhances most body types and you can further show off your curves by sizing down or rolling over the waistband.
Best Value Joggers For Women
Cozy Cashmere At A Great Price
Quince Cashmere Sweatpants
Sizes: XS to XL | Colors: 8 total, including Charcoal and Oatmeal | Materials: 100% Mongolian cashmere
What’s notable: They’re 3x warmer than wool
What could be better: They might be too long for petite sizes; they need to be hand washed or dry cleaned
San-Francisco-based Quince doesn’t believe that nice things should cost a lot. Instead, their goal is to create luxury-like basics at a much lower price. You can’t beat the price or quality of the cashmere sweats, which are made from ethically-sourced, 100% Mongolian thick cashmere with a long-length fiber (which prevents pilling and thinning). This pair is hand washable, too, so you won’t rack up dry cleaning bills.
Best Tall Joggers For Women
Affordable Classic In Different Inseams
Gap High Rise Boyfriend Joggers
Sizes: XXS to XXL, regular, tall and petite lengths | Colors: 17 total, including New Heather Grey and Larkspur Blue | Materials: 77% cotton, 23% polyester
What’s notable: Three inseam lengths ensure a great fit for different heights
What could be better: They don’t have a drawstring
If you want a pair of joggers that feels vintage, like you’ve worn it for years, but with a modern fit with longer inseams, Gap is a reliable source. Their well-priced joggers are washed to achieve the perfect amount of softness. This style has an easy fit and elasticized cuffs so you can scrunch up the legs or not.
