In winter, it's all too easy to resign yourself to sweatpants life, especially as WFH is still a major part of our lives. And while we're certainly not knocking sweatpants — the right pair of sweats can change your life — there's definitely a point where we begin to question whether there's life outside of fleece-backed trousers.
That time is here. After the winter holidays are finished, it feels like the right time to get your life back in order, start exercising, and maybe ween yourself off sweatpants again. But that's easier said than done. To help, we've put together a selection of comfortable pants that are one step closer to real clothes.
From multi-pocketed cargos to elasticated-waist wool pants, we've rounded up 10 comfortable pants for men that aren't sweatpants, courtesy of C.P. Company, Gramicci, The Row, and more.
Scroll for comfortable pants for men (no grey sweats included).
