I Own These Amazon Joggers in 5 Colors, and They’re Versatile Enough for Work, Workouts, and Travel

Clothing choice can influence mood. For me, it also influences productivity — so much so, I wear office attire regardless of locale (my boyfriend, who swaps suits for sweats on WFH days, questions the stiff blouses I wear when I’m working from the couch). In my venn diagram of work and non-work attire, sweatpants typically fall into the latter category. 

The sole exception: the Amazon shopper-favorite Ajisai 7/8 Joggers. Yes, they’re technically jogger-style sweatpants; unlike your typical sweats, however, they’re notably stylish, svelte, and sleek enough to reasonably pass in instances when sweats would typically look out of place.

I’ve donned them for work, workouts, on planes, and in social settings — all the while feeling cozy and put-together. I love them so much, I’ve purchased these pants seven times: five pairs for myself and two for my sister, who says they pass for “work slacks.” Available in nine neutral colors, I fully intend to snag the four missing from my collection, especially as many are on sale right now.

The joggers come in standard and petite sizes XS to XXL and feature a 24-inch inseam and two discrete, roomy pockets. Providing just the right amount of stretch, the elastic waistband can be adjusted via a drawstring, making them secure yet simple to slip on and off. Also of note is the fabric — a blend of 74 percent nylon and 25 percent spandex — which has the thick, breathable feel of pricier pairs. In fact, numerous shoppers swear these joggers are a Lululemon dupe;. according to one, they’re “exactly like my Lulu pants! [The] material is comfortable and the fit is flattering.” 

I’d be remiss not to mention the cut: A flattering straight-leg crop that hits right above the ankle (perfect for showcasing your favorite sneakers). For work days or dressier occasions, I style the joggers with a boxy button-down blouse or cashmere sweater, plus statement jewelry for good measure. When I’m traveling or lounging, I pair them with a simple white crewneck T-shirt or this InStyle fashion editor-approved sweatshirt (which, incidentally, I also own in numerous colors). In all instances, the joggers are a comfortable, fantastically flattering option.
