Men's trousers: joggers lifestyle
Jogging or tracksuit bottoms with stripes, which one to choose for the week? The men's trousers on this page cover both, with lighter woven trousers made for the city more than for the fields.
Filter by fit, tapered at the ankles or straight, then by size and colour.
Root, Legacy, knit band: the joggers that are making a comeback
Some models are available in several colours. The Root jogger from Hummel, in navy, black or chocolate, features a simple look for everyday wear. The Legacy, from the brand's most relaxed line, comes in black, grey melange or dark blue. At Givova, the knit band jogger along the leg offers a retro vibe, in military green, black or white.
Fleece, polyester, woven: the material determines the use
Fleece is soft and warm, perfect for winter and days at home, but it loses its shape if worn every day without a break. The polyester in tracksuit trousers is lighter, dries quickly and retains its shape, making it a good choice for trips to the gym. Woven trousers, being more structured, are better suited for city and office wear.
Waist, inseam, ankles: choosing the right size
Start with the waist: most joggers have an elastic waistband and a drawstring, which allows for a few extra centimetres. Then, check the inseam length, especially for a straight cut that should fall over the shoe without bunching up. A jogger tapered at the ankles remains more flexible in length.

The page also showcases kids' joggers Jordan, like the MVP or Baseline in fleece, for the youngest in the family.
Sweats, t-shirts, shorts, jackets: completing the set
A jogger calls for a matching top. The men's sweats form a set with the bottom from the same brand. The men's t-shirts are worn underneath. The men's shorts replace trousers in summer, and the men's jackets are worn over when the weather turns bad.

Frequently asked questions
How to avoid baggy knees on joggers?
Fleece stretches at the knees from sitting. Alternate between several pairs and let them rest between wearing days. A cold wash followed by flat drying helps the fabric regain its shape.
Tapered or open bottom joggers: which to choose?
The tapered bottom showcases the sneakers and doesn't drag on the floor, making it the most practical for daily wear. The open bottom, straighter, falls over the shoe and gives a more dressed look. Your style and the height of your trainers make the difference.
Can tracksuit trousers be worn for running?
For a leisurely jog in cool weather, yes. Polyester wicks sweat better than cotton. For a longer outing, fitted leggings or running trousers get in the way less.
What length of joggers for a tall man?
A tapered model is the safest choice, as the length is less noticeable. Check the inseam length in the size guide and compare it to a pair of trousers that fit you well. Some brands offer longer sizes in their key models.
How to wash banded trousers without them pilling?
Turn them inside out, close the zipped pockets and wash at a low temperature with synthetic fabrics. Avoid mixing them with towels or jeans, which cause rubbing. No tumble dryer: heat weakens the bands and polyester.
