6 Best Sweatpant Jeans That Look Like Real Denim

What we love: These thicker sweatpant jeans balance structure and comfort—the high-rise elastic waist feels secure without being restrictive, and the fabric moves like classic sweats. “They really do feel like sweats,” says Griggs. “I can crouch or sit cross-legged.” The straight-leg cut and whiskering lean casual, and the narrower silhouette won’t work for everyone, but for errands or low-key days, they’re a comfy, affordable option that still passes as denim.

Styling tip: Throw on an oversized sweater and sneakers and get out the door.

Best for Weekends: Mewunan French Terry Sweatpant Jeans

What we love: These pull-on jeans are made of a brushed French terry feel that’s ideal for days when you’re running around and want pants that are lightweight and comfortable but still pulled together.
