These days, joggers are an essential part of any wardrobe – and with colder nights upon us, we pick the best 5 pairs to slip into this fall.
Decades ago, strolling across the street in pair of joggers – however stylish or comfortable – would be enough to attract some stern looks. Today, rather than evoke suspicions of laziness or a lack of self-awareness, they’ve become part of our wardrobe essentials, with some pieces perfectly at home at a restaurant. How times have changed, eh?
And in truth, why not? Few would argue with the combination of style and comfort. Plus, when the style gods amongst us openly embrace them, who are we to question their stylishness?
With that in mind, these are the best five joggers to wear this fall (suited for every budget):
New Balance x Aime Leon Dore
Of late, the Boston-based giant can do no wrong, with celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike lauding over their latest creations. That, in addition to their legendary partnership with Aimé Leon Dore, makes it an obvious place to start. Stylist yet functional. Comfortable, yet elegant. Few pairs of joggers are as versatile, stylish and just plain damn neat.
Put it this way: if it’s good enough for Jaden Smith and Timothée Chalamet, they’re good enough for you.
Palm Angels
Like New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore, Palm Angels is enjoying its moment in the limelight. Launched in 2014 by Francesco Raggazi, the ambitious brand has made its mark, combining street style and elegance to appeal to younger customers. With trademarks strips, their joggers fit the bill perfectly, allowing you to look the part at home, on a date, or on a trip to the Tate Modern (apparently, Tate Modern is very popular with Palm Angel wearers).
Zara
For fans of affordable fashion, Zara is a shining light. With pieces that look similar to that of your favourite designers, they’ve managed to carve out a unique place in the market for elegant and affordable pieces. Their joggers are no different. Whether smart or casual, simple or colourful, their range of joggers will do the job perfectly, helping you look the part on your morning coffee runs and your evening dinners, too.
Puma
Puma’s embrace of all things celebrity/influencer marketing has been paying off. With the brand’s popularity on the rise, they’ve found new ways to satisfy the needs of their younger customers. Take their joggers, for example, neat, simple, and street style perfect. They’re made for those on the move, with a preference of simple, stylish and comfortable pieces. The best part? They won’t cost an arm and a leg.
Adidas
The iconic three stripes are iconic for a reason: they work. Plus, given the affordability of Adidas’ joggers, their place on this list was non-negotiable. Whatever colours take your fancy, a pair of Adidas will do the job – and do it very, very well.
