Wouldn’t you love to leave the house in your sweats and not worry about weird looks from strangers? Wearing womens joggers outfits while traveling is a great way to pull off a comfortable look any time of day.
Technically, joggers are nothing more than spruced-up sweatpants, but they are usually more fitted and taper toward the ankle. They can be found in traditional heavy knit, but they also come in a variety of other materials, from linen to faux leather. They are highly versatile for casual to semi-formal wear when paired with sandals, slip on sneakers, or wedges!
Find the right pair for you among these top joggers women love to travel in and also love lounging around at home too!

Will Women’s Joggers Work in a Tropical Climate?
These pants are certainly cozy enough for the plane, but are joggers comfortable enough for a hot destination as well? The key to choosing a pair for a warm climate is the fabric. Seek out breathable, airy textiles like cotton, linen, or specific fabric that’s designed to wick away sweat.
A popular joggers outfit women love for summer destinations is sandals or flip-flops with a white tee, sun hat, and polarized sunglasses. You’ll be ready for a day at the beach that includes a stop at a sunnyside cafe for lunch!
Do They Provide Leg Warmth?
Try french terry or fleece-lined joggers for women to keep you toasty in the winter. Both styles are comfortable and versatile.
When it comes to styling jogger pants for women outfits in the colder months, pair a cozy hoodie with slip-on sneakers for casual outings or merino wool sweater in a rich, earth-tone with gold earrings and low-heel ankle boots for a night out.
Can They Pair Well With Heels?
It can be hard to imagine embellished joggers outfits for women who love to dress up, given that these are often called “semi-fancy sweatpants,” but with a little creativity and confidence, you can easily pull this look off really well! Little details, like a zipper ankle or moto style, keep them from looking lazy or sloppy.
Create an interesting contrast with a sparkly top or blazer, chunky jewelry, and a clutch. To finish off an elegant nighttime look, pair with traditional heels, closed-toe wedges, or sandal wedges (dependent on the season!).
Are They a Great Alternative to Denim?
Since the length and ankle are similar to that of skinny jeans, the women fashion joggers trend is an awesome choice that doesn’t sacrifice comfort. Your thighs are free from constricting fabric and their material is more breathable.
Joggers for women look best paired with loose or fitted tops which are shorter in length. To make a longer top work, you can try loosely tucking in the front or knotting it at the side.

How to Determine the Best Fit
Now that you’re convinced that joggers on women look great and are sold on the benefits of bringing these cute pants on your next trip, these are a few tips on what to look for in fit.
The waist should hit right above your hips and can be elastic or drawstring. They are usually loose at the top of the leg and may also have a slight drop in the crotch. (Think of them as similar to harem pants, but not as drastic.) The legs taper as you move down and end with a banded ankle. Try bunching the ankles up for another interesting look.

The Zella joggers are comfortable and stylish and flattering to this plus sized gal!
Thank you for sharing your review with us Mary, this is super helpful to know!
Thank you for including some joggers for us tall gals. I really like my joggers to come to my ankle, and most regular joggers end up looking like capris on me.
Love how there are so many jogger options! Great for travel!
I love the Athleta Trekkie Joggers but will have to look at the others you recommended. Always like a nice pair of joggers I can dress up a little.
Is it okay to have joggers that are a bit long and pool a bit?
Hi Katia! I suppose it depends on how the rest of the pant fits on your body. Are they baggy on top, too? If not, would you consider hemming them to work with your height?
Loving the idea of dressing up the jogger! Looks kinda cute!
Thanks Andrea!
i had to laugh. In Australia, ‘joggers’ are sand shoes or sneakers, not pants. I thought this article was about how to dress up my sneakers! Makes sense now.
Hope you liked the post!
