Jogger Trousers
A reader asks ...
“
What's up with those khaki-style pants with the elastic on the bottom—are they a thing? I think I want a pair. Who makes some good ones?”
These hybrid trousers—a combination between chinos and sweatpants—are often called "joggers." And they are, in fact, having a moment. Probably because menswear right now is embracing a relaxed comfortability. Slim-fitting sweatshirts, the latest sneakers and relaxed T-shirts are just as embraced as well-cut sport coats, selvedge denim and leather-soled dress shoes. These new relaxed basics feature unique details and a modern, tailored fit, which gives your off-duty kit a cool, comfy vibe. Jogger trousers bridge the gap between both sides of the style spectrum and can be worn with some proper lace-ups and a button-down or high-tops and a hoodie. We've rounded up some of the best on the market right now.
