The Best Sweatpants for Men in 2020

Sweatpants season is upon us. Step it up this year!

As the air gets crisper and the temps begin to drop, it seems that sweatpants season is finally upon us.

Not that we weren't already spending every waking hour wearing them. Truth is, we all probably spent more time in our sweatpants than any other garment this year. But now, as it starts to get cold, and as the holidays grow closer, why not invest in a truly amazing pair of thick, cushiony sweatpants? Ones that will last you in to 2021 and beyond. Not to mention, according to Men's Health, sweatpants have transitioned into a fashionable piece of clothing in the last few years: "While yesteryear's baggy versions were anything but flattering, today's slim jogger sweatpants are cut closer to the body with a tapered leg that creates a much more sophisticated silhouette," writes the publication. "So you'll look totally put together while still feeling ultra-comfortable."

If you're aching to remain cool and comfortable this winter without having to sacrifice swagger, here are the best sweatpants for men in 2020, so you'll never have to cycle through another ratty pair of grey sweats ever again.
