Credit: AmazonWe diss the high school boyfriend sweatpants, but in reality we know those are some of the coziest clothing out there. But when those pants are filled with holes and the elastic has completely worn out, it's time for a swap, and this is the one you'll want to make. Fruit of the Loom can do no wrong when it comes to cozy, basic lounge- and athletic-wear. These are just like your beloved 20 year old sweats, minus the holes. They also come in two options: jogger-style or with a non-elastic open bottom.

They're you're basic sweatpants but better because you don't have to throw them through ten washes to get that ultra-soft feel you've come to know and love.

While they might appear to be a normal straight-leg pant, if you take a closer look you'll see that the bottom hem has a loose elastic. These are like your wide-leg sweatpants and your jogger-style ones had the perfect little baby.

Credit: American GiantWide-leg sweatpants are like a mix between the shape of your favorite PJ bottoms with the fabric of a traditional sweatpant and we couldn't love them more. These American Giant ones are totally worth the splurge because the fit is perfect. Unlike normal sweatpants, you don't want your wide-leg pants to be too baggy as they'll fall way past your ankles. These have a reasonable inseam that allows for the perfect length. The only thing we don't love about these sweatpants is that the color selection is really limited.

The jogger style is similar to a traditional sweatpant but is a bit more fitted. These are also great for cold weather because in addition to the fleece the elastic bottom will seal in all your body warmth.

The fit is a bit more figure-hugging than most sweatpants and the hemline is fairly cropped, so we'd advise sizing up if you want a baggier fit.
