Unisex Contrast-Stitched Fleece Sweatpants

Wide, dark sweatpants with a big curved seam that arches over the front like a doorway, and a thin pale piping line that runs down the side of each leg. A white drawstring hangs from the elastic waistband and the legs fall straight and roomy to the floor. The fleece is thick and soft and the cut is oversized. They look designed without trying too hard. They hold their shape through the day and keep their color wash after wash. Pull them on with a hoodie and you have a fit that does not need a second opinion.

We picked this one for the arch. A curved panel seam rises from the thigh and loops over the front of the hip like a horseshoe, outlined in light gray stitching, and the same pale line runs down the outer seam of each leg to the hem. A white drawstring sits at the elastic waist, the legs run wide and straight and the fabric looks dense and slightly matte. The back is clean and smooth with no pockets, just the waistband and the leg seams.

It comes in Flower Gray and Black. Black is the sharp one in the photos, with the pale piping standing out against it, and Flower Gray is the softer heather version of the same cut. Wear them with a boxy tee and chunky sneakers, a cropped hoodie and slides, or a leather jacket and boots. Add a beanie and a tote and you look like the person who always knows the way to the venue.

Grab this when you want sweatpants with some structure in the design, something more thought out than the usual pair. The curved seam, the contrast stitching and the oversized straight leg give them a clean, casual and street feel that works in autumn and winter. The thick fleece keeps you warm, the drawstring lets you adjust the waist and the piping keeps the look sharp even when you are dressed down. Pick your color and wear them hard, from the errand run to the late train home.
