Double Tap to Zoom

Our lives have changed enormously over the past year and a bit. They had to. And as we begin to see the end of the pandemic in sight, it's time to take a look at where we are. One thing's for sure, we've started wearing sweatpants a lot and that's not a habit we're willing to give up just yet. We will, however, be opting for straight-leg track pants as we ease back into public life.

With cuffs out of the equation, track pants take on a new life. Styling straight-leg track pants with your everyday gear looks way better. It takes things up a notch and, let's be honest, no grown man should be bound by the elasticated ankle. Styling the latter can verge on a lazy, I-just-got-out-of-bed-and-this-was-the-first-thing-I-found aesthetic.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best straight-leg track pants that the internet has to offer.

Scroll for some of the best straight-leg track pants around right now.

Darryl Brown used to be Kanye's stylist. That should be all you need to know, really. If you need any more convincing, the 12oz cotton build of these neutral track pants should do the job.

While these aren't the classic Needles design, they retain all the hallmarks of the luxury sweatpants. An embroidered Papillon logo to the left thigh in tonal khaki and stitched creases to each leg mark this pair out as a winner.

$839
Buy at Matches

Y/Project has become synonymous with wild proportions and unorthodox cuts, but this pair of Shell Track Pants is relatively pared-back for the label.

Champion

Champion's usual no-nonsense approach is on show here, but a slightly more elevated look at fabric means that this washed-out pair is a level or two higher than regular Champion pieces.
