I’ve always been a sweatpants and leggings girl. Maybe it’s a hallmark of having worked from home for eight years and counting, or the burden I bear from being a millennial, but to me, blue jeans are an occassion pant. Even when I’m out in a skirt or dress, the second I get home, I’m putting on sweatpants.

My favorite pair has been the Vuori Performance Joggers, ever since I first tried them back in 2020 for a now-defunct buying guide. These sweatpants have been beloved across the internet since then and probably before it. Influencers, reviewers, and redditors sing their praises. I’m not saying anything new. These pants have 4.8 out of 5 stars based on over 46,000 customer reviews. But if you haven’t heard the gospel, please do yourself the courtesy of listening to me proselytize for just one moment.

I know a ton of differently shaped people who love these sweatpants. I’m short and curvy, but friends and colleagues with different body types swear by these sweatpants. Be you tall or short, slim or thick, no matter your gender, your weight, or where you like to wear your loungewear, these’ll work for you. They’re like magic.

Some people might think sweatpants are basic. How hard can it be to get it right? So perhaps my love for the Vuori Performance Joggers is best illustrated with details about what they don’t get wrong. I spoke with Sarah Carlson, vice president of design at Vuori, to lift the curtain a bit.
