A good pair of joggers should feel comfortable every day, let you move freely during exercise and keep its shape after repeated washes. In practice, unclear sizing, unsuitable fabrics and features that are purely decorative can easily lead to a disappointing purchase. Our guide explains what women and men should look for when buying joggers.
A size M can fit differently from one brand to another. Some size charts give waist and hip measurements in centimetres, while others use EU, UK or US sizes. If you’re choosing high-waisted women’s joggers, it also matters where the measurements are taken.
Before buying, you should:
Cotton joggers can feel soft and comfortable, but they generally take longer to dry than lightweight technical fabrics during intense activity. Cotton can work well for yoga, walks and everyday wear. For running or sweatier workouts, look for features such as lightweight, quick-drying or moisture-wicking.
It’s also worth checking the exact composition of blended fabrics. Polyester or elastane can affect how well the fabric holds its shape and stretches. The specific material composition is still more useful than general marketing claims.
Joggers with pockets aren’t automatically suitable for carrying your phone, keys and cards. Check the size, fastening and position of the pockets. Zipped pockets can be more practical for running, while open side pockets may be all you need at home.
Elasticated ankle cuffs keep joggers in place, but can get in the way when worn with high-top shoes or during yoga. Wide-leg joggers with open hems give your ankles more room, but may be less practical for cycling or certain exercises.
Check the care instructions too. Some styles can be tumble-dried at a low temperature, while others should only be air-dried on a hanger. Several of the products listed here may be suitable for washing at 30 °C; always follow the care label for the specific item.
Tapered joggers sit closer to the body and are less likely to get in the way when walking or exercising. A straight-leg fit works well for everyday wear and yoga, while wide-leg joggers give you more room around the hips and legs.
For yoga trousers and running trousers, it’s also worth considering:
For example, the Urban Classics Fluffy Sweatpants list waist and hip measurements in centimetres for several sizes. The stated inside leg length is 83 cm. Specific measurements like these make it easier to compare styles than relying on a size label alone, from XS to 6XL.
Other styles refer to standard EU sizes. So don’t automatically choose the same size as your current trousers; compare the measurements with a well-fitting pair instead.

Cotton joggers or cotton blends are often a good choice for everyday wear and travel. For running, walking and more intense workouts, lightweight fabrics with quick-drying, stretch and moisture-management features are more practical. Fit, freedom of movement and how well they suit you are still key.
The waistband should sit comfortably without digging in. There should be a little room between your body and the fabric, especially for casual joggers or a wide-leg fit. For sportswear, choose an inside leg length that won’t drag on the ground or unnecessarily restrict movement around your ankles.
Follow the care label, wash similar colours together and avoid unnecessarily high temperatures. If the manufacturer advises against tumble-drying, air-drying on a hanger is gentler. Fasten zips before washing to reduce wear on the fabric.
