What exactly are jogging pants? not completely. I know you know where the jogger is. I dare to guess that there is a pair (or more) in your rotation. But did you stop and ask yourself the definition of a jogger, not sweatpants? Is it slim to fit? Type of hem? Fabric? In pursuing a certain form of job definition for a jogger, that definition does not just depend on a feeling, man, let's try to determine what we are talking about here. (Warning: We will still base on a feeling, but it will be a more precise feeling.)

Generally speaking, joggers will self-cultivation. After all, this is a style, and its origin is because many people just can't accept the idea of ​​wandering around on the sofa in a wider tailored sweatpants to pursue their pursuit, you know...externally. Normally, joggers will use a flat hem (similar to the sleeves of a sweatshirt) instead of pleating all the fabrics together with inner elastic bands (such as those old-fashioned sweatpants). Many times, they will be made of wool or performance fabrics to better increase the overall fashion sense of the jogger.

In other words, there are exceptions. When you talk about pants made of twill (think: chinos) or nylon (think: sweatpants), any form of pleated hem will usually get you into the realm of jogging. Using fleece pants, sometimes only a very slim cut can change Rubicon from "sports pants" to "jogging pants". Some brands — seem to want to embrace all forms of chaos — will adopt a pair of pants that are very tight at the ankle and call them joggers.

Are we in Esquire? We learned our lesson from Agents of Chaos and admit that once you understand the general guidelines, sometimes the real test of whether it is a jogger is whether it feels like a jogger. (Told you that we will land here.) Once you find one that suits you, all you need to do is wear it. With a T-shirt and a track jacket, classic runners walk their dogs. Bring a camping shirt, a housework jacket and some slides to catch coffee. There are different T-shirts and slippers on the sofa.
