Unisex Piping Fleece Barrel Leg Sweatpants

Round at the middle and narrow at the ankle, these fleece sweatpants have a barrel shape that makes the usual straight leg look a bit tame. A thin line of piping curves down each side seam, then arcs across the back like a racing stripe. A drawstring ties the elastic waist, pockets sit in the side seams and the legs end in a tapered hem. The fleece is thick and soft. They come in five colors. Pull them on with a hoodie and you have an outfit with some real shape.

We picked this one for the curve. The legs bow out from the hip and taper back in toward the ankle, so the silhouette reads as a barrel, and thin contrast piping traces the seams along the outer leg. On the back, the piping sweeps in two wide arcs across the seat. A drawstring sits at the elastic waistband, pockets open at the sides and the fleece hangs heavy and soft. In the lead photo, the white has a bright, clean glow.

It comes in Plum Purple, White, Medium Gray, Black and Navy Blue. Black and Navy Blue are the sharp, easy picks that show off the piping, Medium Gray is the heather classic, White is the crisp, bright one in the lead photo and Plum Purple is the deep, rich one. Wear them with a boxy tee and chunky sneakers, an oversized hoodie and slides, or a cropped jacket and boots. Add a cap and a crossbody and you look like the one who hits every green light and does not even notice.

For people who like sweatpants with a shape of their own. The barrel leg, the curved piping and the thick fleece give them a casual, sporty and street look that works in autumn and winter. The fleece holds warmth, the drawstring lets you set the fit and the tapered hem keeps the legs off the ground. Pick your color and wear them from the store to the studio to the couch, with sneakers or boots, and the piping keeps the look sharp.
