This Track Pants Roundup Is a Cuff-Free Zone
Our lives have changed enormously over the past year and a bit. They had to. And as we begin to see the end of the pandemic in sight, it's time to take a look at where we are. One thing's for sure, we've started wearing sweatpants a lot and that's not a habit we're willing to give up just yet. We will, however, be opting for straight-leg track pants as we ease back into public life.
With cuffs out of the equation, track pants take on a new life. Styling straight-leg track pants with your everyday gear looks way better. It takes things up a notch and, let's be honest, no grown man should be bound by the elasticated ankle. Styling the latter can verge on a lazy, I-just-got-out-of-bed-and-this-was-the-first-thing-I-found aesthetic.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best straight-leg track pants that the internet has to offer.
Scroll for some of the best straight-leg track pants around right now.
adidas
If you're hoping to avoid the price tag of a pair of luxury straight-leg sweatpants then look no further than adidas. The Three Stripes has been making Beckenbauer Track Pants for decades and there's a reason that they're still in style.
Palm Angels
Two stripes to each leg add visual structure to this pair of yellow track pants from Palm Angels — a label that's known and loved for its high-end tracksuits.
Darryl Brown
Darryl Brown used to be Kanye's stylist. That should be all you need to know, really. If you need any more convincing, the 12oz cotton build of these neutral track pants should do the job.
A-COLD-WALL*
Samuel Ross' fragmented prints always add a layer of intrigue to a garment. The Hemisphere Pants benefit from a bold print to the right leg.
Gucci
Gucci's Shiny Jogging Pants are a loud statement in baby blue. A signature stripe details the outseam of each leg.
Fear of God
Jerry Lorenzo is an expert when it comes to basic color palettes. Neutral hues are given a new life with high-end materials and unexpected proportions at Fear of God. This pair of navy track pants features the brand's leather tag to the crotch.
Maison Margiela
Margiela always finds a way to flip a classic on its head. The 1CON Lounge Pants boast an illusory waistband that stands out from the real waistline.
Needles
While these aren't the classic Needles design, they retain all the hallmarks of the luxury sweatpants. An embroidered Papillon logo to the left thigh in tonal khaki and stitched creases to each leg mark this pair out as a winner.
Y/Project
Y/Project has become synonymous with wild proportions and unorthodox cuts, but this pair of Shell Track Pants is relatively pared-back for the label.
Champion
Champion's usual no-nonsense approach is on show here, but a slightly more elevated look at fabric means that this washed-out pair is a level or two higher than regular Champion pieces.
