These $50 sweatpant jeans ‘tricked nearly everyone’ – and were as comfy as the luxury pair

Can you can feel snug and still look put-together? I tested sweatpant jeans that are comfy, yet have a tailored look from Rag & Bone, Gap and Halara For the days you can’t be bothered to slip into restrictive “real pants” but want to look put-together, sweatpant jeans are here to save the day. Not quite sweatpants and not quite jeans, sweatpant jeans are a happy medium, offering a printed-on denim aesthetic in that same plush sweatpant feel many of us know and love. Their current popularity seems linked to gen Z’s insistence that leggings and straight-leg jeans are no longer cool, and to celebrity sightings and endorsements from the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie. But trust me on this, too: I’ve spent the last three years living in them.
