The 13 Best Joggers for Women of 2024 (2024)

Updated on October 30, 2023

It’s not always easy to find a jogger that can seamlessly double as activewear, loungewear, and look relatively put-together when paired with the right shoe or blazer, and that’s what sets the Athleta Farallon Jogger apart. This tapered jogger is made from a blend of organic cotton and spandex which gives it just enough stretch to move with your body without clinging to you. The adjustable drawcord adds an additional dose of versatility and comfort while the front and back pockets add both visual interest and convenience. We also like that this option is both washer and dryer friendly so you don’t have to worry about any special handling.

The lululemon Align™ High-Rise Jogger Full Length was designed specifically for yoga, but they’re great for long travel days as well. The buttery soft material feels just like what you’d expect from high-end lululemon yoga pants, but unlike traditional leggings, these joggers have a little extra give and don't cling to the body in the same way as yoga pants or leggings. The ultra-lightweight material is breathable and comfy and will also squeeze into your carry-on without taking up much space at all.

If you’re looking for a sustainable and eco-friendly pair of joggers to lounge in, you’ll want to consider the Everlane The ReTrack Jogger. This pair of classic cotton joggers is the picture of coziness thanks to the thick cotton material. They’re also made using more than 50 percent GRS-certified recycled materials that reduce chemical and water use while also cutting down on the overall carbon emissions required to create the garment, so you can feel good about your purchase. We love that they come in classic colors like heathered gray and taupe.

Keeping a decent pair of joggers in your travel wardrobe arsenal is always a good idea — even if you’re trying to pack as light as possible. A lightweight pair of joggers is as vital as an extra tote bag; you never know when you might need to pull it out while on the road. The Libin Women's Lightweight Joggers Pants are made with an ultra-lightweight nylon and spandex blend that almost feels more like a pair of leggings than a jogger, but the drawstring waist and built-in pockets give it the look and convenience of a pair of classic sweatpants.

The Details: XS to 3XL | 80 percent nylon, 20 percent spandex

You would never guess that the Leggings Depot Women's Printed Solid Activewear Jogger is priced so low based on its quality and comfort. These machine-washable joggers are buttery soft and soothing on the skin while the cut and fit are flattering on most bodies. The blend of polyester and spandex gives these pants a comfortably stretchy fit while the tapered cut provides a more put-together look than traditional sweatpants. It’s worth noting that these joggers are also very lightweight and thin compared to fleece joggers — which is great for packing in a carry-on, but might not be warm enough for cooler climates.

The Details: S to 3XL | 84 percent polyester, 16 percent spandex

There’s something amazing about joggers that masquerade as dress pants — especially for those of us who don’t particularly love getting dressed up or who don’t believe in the need to suffer for fashion. The AllSaints ​​Saige Joggers is our top splurge-worthy pick. Yes — it’s a little pricey for a pair of joggers, but it’ll be so worth it when you’re comfy at your next semi-formal evening event. The tapered leg features elegant pleat detailing that runs from the waist to the ankle while the subtle cuff was made for pairing with both heels and sneakers, depending on the occasion.

The Details: 0 to 12 | 100 percent polyester

There’s something luxurious about investing in designer basics — especially when it’s a pair of Burberry lounge pants. The Burberry Beige Three-Pocket Lounge Pants are crafted in Portugal from a stretchy French terry material that’s both cozy and breathable. The concealed drawstring and elasticized waist offer a slightly more streamlined silhouette that’ll allow you to pair these with more formal accessories for a dressed-up look. We also love that while these joggers don’t scream Burberry the way other tartan-clad items do, the creamy beige is still an apt nod to the British heritage brand.

The Details: 3XS to 3XL | 85 percent cotton, 15 percent elastane; Trim: 98 percent cotton, 2 percent elastane

It’s not easy to find a pair of women’s pants that have pockets big enough to actually be functional, especially when it comes to activewear. That’s why we’re particularly fond of the G Gradual Women's Joggers. These stretchy joggers look almost like a loose-fitting pair of yoga pants, but they have ultra-deep pockets that’ll actually hold things like your smartphone or keys without needing to worry about having them slip out. The high-waisted pants are super soft and stretchy while the gentle ankle cuff offers a tapered look but is still comfortable for exercising in.

The Details: XS to XXL | 75 percent nylon, 25 percent spandex

Looking for a pair of versatile joggers that’ll be suitable for any and all upcoming trips? The Athleta Retreat Linen Jogger ticks all the right boxes and then some. The 100 percent linen material means that these pants will be breathable and moisture-wicking when needed, but they’ll also serve as a relatively warm option into the colder months. The cinched ankle and generous legroom also mean this silhouette is suitable for more modest countries — think Egypt or Qatar — while the trendy high-waisted cut will work just as well for a night out in the city.

The Details: 0 to 26 | 100 percent linen

The ​​Vuori Daily Jogger Pant is your best option if you’re looking for something versatile you can work out in comfortably without worrying about overheating or dealing with sweat stains. The fitted high-waist jogger features a comfortable tie-waist and ribbed trim as well as a true moisture-wicking fabric that’s specifically engineered for dryness and all-day comfort. We’re also huge fans of the fact that this option is both machine washable and dryer-safe which makes it much less of a hassle to wash and dry while on the go.

The Details: XS to XL | 72 percent polyester, 28 percent elastane

We love a good set while traveling — a two-piece outfit allows you to get ready in a hurry without putting much thought into whether or not you match, but it also allows you to mix and match with other garments in your suitcase. The PrettyGarden Women's Two Piece Outfit is our top pick when it comes to a jogger set; it’s super casual and comfortable but it’s also stylish enough to wear out on the town. We love that it looks like a jumpsuit but has the added convenience of being two separate pieces, which is much easier for public bathroom situations.

The Details: S to 3XL | 65 percent polyester, 30 percent viscose, 5 percent spandex

We can’t get enough of Skims. Honestly, everything Kim Kardashian co-signs in terms of loungewear tends to be excellent. That goes for the Skims Cotton Fleece Jogger as well. This seemingly basic jogger is buttery soft despite being made of a cotton fleece. The high-waisted drawstring is super flattering while the elasticized cuff provides added warmth at the ankle. This option doesn’t come in a ton of colors, but the classic colors like heather gray and onyx black are versatile and very nice.

The Details: XXS to 4XL | 80 percent cotton, 20 percent polyester

High-rise joggers are our go-to on travel days — they go with pretty much any top and the extra fabric around the waist means you can comfortably bend over, reach overhead, and get cozy in your airplane seat without worrying about having to adjust your pants every few minutes. The Waitfairy Womens Winter High Waisted Sweatpants earn the top spot when it comes to budget-friendly and high-rise joggers that are both cozy and easy to take care of. These joggers are made from 100 percent cotton, so they’re super soft and comfy on the skin. They’re also available in an eye-catching 27 different colors to best suit your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I wash joggers?

  The best way to wash joggers will depend on the material of each specific pair. If your joggers are made from cotton, nylon, or polyester, they should be good to throw in the washing machine without worry. However, more delicate materials like linen or wool should be handled with extra care. You should always read the care instructions if you’re unsure of how to proceed.

• How should joggers fit?

  There are no specific rules that dictate how your joggers should fit — but if you plan to wear them while working out, you’ll want to make sure they’re comfortable to move around in. Do a few squats or downward dogs to figure out if they’re feasible for your workouts before ripping the tags off. If you’re looking for a pair that’ll be comfortable enough to lounge in, it might even be worth opting for a looser fit with an adjustable drawstring.

• How should I style joggers?

  We love joggers because they’re just so versatile! They offer one of the best travel pants options. You can pair them with a tank top and a blazer for a seriously chic day-to-night look or you can lean into the athleisure look with sneakers and a hoodie. Tapered joggers can be paired with heels or loafers alike while loose-fitting joggers look great with sneakers or boots.
