Where to find the best sweatpants
Which Brand Makes The Best SWEATPANTS?
today I am testing out my subscribers
favorite sweatpants so as always I asked
you guys on Instagram what your all-time
favorite pair of sweatpants was I dumped
all that information into Excel I
tallied up the top 5 and I bought one of
each and my size also quick thank you to
today's sponsor which is scale share but
I will be talking more about that later
on in the video so I have 5 pairs of
squishy sweatpants to show you and let's
just get started so the fifth most
popular pair of sweatpants according to
you guys were the champion jersey
sweatpants so for each of the five pairs
of sweatpants I'm going to run through
the details things like pricing sizing
material and then we'll cut to a trial
clip where I'll walk you through my
thoughts more in detail about each one
these are the most affordable out of the
five pairs they're only $17.50 these are
in the color Oxford gray and they're 90%
cotton 10 percent polyester these pants
come in sizes small through extra-large
and I got mine in size small for
reference for sizing I am 5 foot 6 I
usually wear a size 26 in jeans and my
waist is 26 inches so let's cut to the
triumph lips and see what I think can I
just say how happy I am to be filming a
video about sweat pants right now like I
am so excited to try all these on okay
here's the first pair so I asked you
guys again on Instagram to tell me the
qualities that you look for in the
perfect pair of sweat pants there were
five different qualities that came up
over and over again so I'm gonna touch
on all five things for all 5 pairs so
the first quality you guys cared about
was bagginess and the preference is
actually different if some of you prefer
more baggy sweat pant and some of you
perform more fitted sweat pant so the
champion Jersey sweat parents are very
baggy as you can see these I think are
gonna end up being the baggiest out of
all 5 pairs if I kind of pull them out
like this you can see how much room they
have their super roomy very baggy and
very comfortable the next thing you guys
cared a lot about was softness
so these feels super soft they feel
really good on my skin they don't feel
scratchy or itchy or anything but
they're definitely not the softest and
they don't have that like velvety touch
or anything it just feels like a nice
kind of soft typical cotton material the
next quality you guys cared about with
thickness of
the material so these are the thinnest
out of the five they're a very thin
material but that doesn't mean that
they're shear they're still definitely
opaque they just don't have that like
squishy thickness that some of the other
pairs have you can kind of see from me
like pinching the material in my hand
how thin it is I think for the most part
you guys prefer a thicker sweatpants but
there were some responses that prefer a
thinner sweatpants so again it's all
about preference but I'm here to tell
you all of the objective details about
each pairs of that you can pick the
right one for you the fourth thing that
you guys wanted to know about was
whether or not they had an elastic
around the ankles and how like loose or
tight that elastic was so these champion
ones do not have elastic around the
ankles it is a loose ankle and then the
fifth thing you guys really cared about
was elastic around the waist fitted
waist baggy waist again it depends on
your body type your preference
these have a drawstring waistband so
that gives a little bit more wiggle room
they go like this they're very like
expandable not the tightest waistband
out of the box but you can make it
tighter with the drawstring and then
there's also certain things that are
more just like yes or no like does it
have it does it not have it that you
guys wanted to know about so first was
pockets these ones do not have pockets
the second thing was drawstring so this
one does have a drawstring you guys also
wanted me to show how long each one was
so these are really super super long
they drag on the floor for me and then
lining was another thing you wanted to
know these do not have any lining and
then lastly sagginess in certain areas
so this part I don't think honestly is
that flattering on this pair of
sweatpants like I think it's because
these are a little big on me this is the
smallest size is a small and so I have
to kind of tighten the waistband a lot
which creates this bunching right here
which is not that flattering the butt
though is not that saggy so yeah
fifth most popular pair right here a
good affordable option but we'll see you
how the rest
turn out okay so the fourth most popular
pair of sweatpants according to you guys
can you tell by the stripes so these are
the adidas superstar sweatpants the
SST track pants these are $65 but I got
them on sale on Nordstrom where they're
currently $45.99 the material of these
is 70% polyester 25% cotton and 5% at
lasting and they come in sizes extra
extra small to extra large I got mine in
a size extra small so let's try these on
and see what I think right off the bat
I'm gonna say these are definitely not
my favorite but I just feel so not
myself and these I feel like I'm like so
not an athlete so not a sporty person so
I feel very athletic in these and it's
just weird but anyway I'm gonna rate
these objectively for you guys to make
your own decision okay so first up
bagginess
these are super tight especially around
the calves so these are like the polar
opposite from the champion sweat pants
these are the tightest out of the five
I'm turning up the brightness just for a
second to show you guys this is like the
weirdest angle ever but these back for
me a little bit around the thighs and
then they get super tight down by my
calves so next up is softness I would
say that these aren't necessarily soft
when I think of like a soft sweatpants
material I think more of like a fleecy
kind of cotton material that's super
super squishy and soft
these are definitely more of like
athletic wear it definitely feels more
polyester than cotton to me they're not
it's you're anything but definitely on
the less soft side in terms of thickness
they're very very thick it's a very
thick material but it's not a squishy
material like the material reminds me of
like a track jacket or something like
it's heavy like that and you can kind of
feel the weight of the material on your
legs as you're wearing these I will do
this to show you guys what I mean like
it's hard for me to even grab it but
feel like you can tell how thick this is
the next thing is ankles and how tight
these are around the ankles these are
super tight around the ankles but not
due to an elastic it's just due to the
tapering silhouette of the pants but
they do have a zipper so you can unzip
them and kind of like flare them out if
you want to that even unzipped it still
looks very tapered next thing is
waistband and tightness of the waistband
so this is an elastic waistband
about this much wiggle room in the size
extra small definitely snug around the
waist and since the materials a little
bit thicker and the band is pretty wide
like it's a pretty secure feeling
waistband everything about this pant is
very like kind of like sucks you in a
little bit other random things length
fits me perfectly for being five foot
six so it hits me right at my ankles
these also do have pockets it's a zip
pocket but they have pockets they're
nice and deep right back up these don't
have any lining so there's no fleece
lining or anything like that for me
these give me a baggy crotch for sure
because I don't have very wide hips
I'm very straight shape so a lot of
times I get bagging around this area
which is happening with these pants but
the butt again does not bunch as much
all right so the third most popular pair
of sweatpants according to you guys were
the Nike Sportswear essential fleece
sweatpants so these guys are $60 so just
a hair cheaper than the adidas at full
price the material of these is 80%
cotton and 20% polyester and they come
in sizes extra small to extra
extra-large I got mine in a size extra
small so let's try on these Nikes and
see what I think I feel like we're
leveling up guys I'm liking these a lot
so far they feel really comfortable and
really good so let's start off with
bagginess I would say that these are
actually not too baggy not too tight I
feel like they're somewhere in the
middle maybe leaning even a little bit
more towards the tight side the more
fitted side if I pull you can see they
have definitely stretched to them
nowhere near as baggy as the champion
sweats softness factor these are
definitely softer than the first two
pairs they feel super plush they have a
hint of that kind of like velvety
softness to them definitely really cozy
and comfortable and then the inside of
these pants have a fleece lining so they
stick me tell my pants and feel it like
it definitely got that soft delicious
fleecy texture to it and that's what's
hitting your skin so it's soft on the
outside but also feels super cozy and
fleecy and yummy on the inside these are
also pretty thick so they're thicker
definitely than the champion I
say they're on par with the adidas but
they're a different material which makes
them feel a little bit thicker because
they're more squishy and bouncy you can
see how thick they feel between my
fingers pretty thick and then ankle
elastic and tapered miss around the
ankles these are on the more tapered
side and they do have an ankle elastic
that's actually pretty tight around your
ankles the ankle elastic is one of these
so it's like that wider band not the
ones that look more like a waist band so
it's comfortable because it's kind of
flat and wide on your ankle and then
waist band so this waistband feels
similar to the adidas one where it's
nice and fitted I have about this much
room and it has a drawstring so the
champion sweatpants had a drawstring
which helped you adjust the tightness of
the waistband but it didn't have any
stretch it didn't have any elastic this
kind of has the best of both worlds
because it definitely has an elasticity
to it but then it also has this
drawstring so even if you tie it really
tightly you still kind of get a little
bit of give around the waist which is my
opinion more comfortable than just a
straight-up drawstring with no elastic
and the waistband is also super thick
and nice as you can see and then we'll
hit the other things quickly lengthwise
very similar to the adidas superstar
track pants on me a very average five
foot six height they hit me perfectly at
the bottom of my legs if you're taller
these might be short on you these ones
also have pockets so you can see a very
traditional pocket no zipper or anything
and it's nice and big goes all the way
down here so this whole section actually
feels like super thick and double line
because you have that entire pocket
lining as well I also feel like these
are very flattering around this area
around the hips I'm not getting any
weird bunching up of the fabric same
thing from behind I actually feel like
these are one of the most flattering
from the back but yeah these are super
flattering super nice comfortable pair
of sweatpants these are the kind of
sweatpants that I feel like you could
just style up and wear out of the house
and feel comfortable in they don't look
like pajamas they look like a really
nice quality sweatpants all right we're
at the top two so the second most
popular pair of sweatpants according to
you guys were these let me know if you
recognize
brand because I didn't when I was
tallying up these totals these are at
the roots salt and pepper
sweatpants this is an example right here
of why I love making these videos so
much because obviously because it helps
you guys discover your new favorite
whatever a pair of clothing that I'm
making a video on but it also helps me
to discover new brands too roots was a
brand that I had never heard of in my
life and then I realized that it's a
Canadian brand and I'm pretty sure all
of my Canadian followers who
participated in the poll voted these
route sweatpants as their top favorite
these are 74 US dollars so they're a bit
pricier than the Nikes and the adidas
they come in sizes extra extra small to
extra extra-large I got mine in an extra
small they also come in multiple
different colors and they come in
different lengths so if you're tall they
have a long version on their website and
these are 55 percent cotton and 45%
polyester fleece so let's try these
Canadian sweatpants on and see what I
think okay fourth most popular pair of
sweatpants was one that I had never
heard of in my life so these are the
roots salt and pepper sweatpants and I
think they're called salt and pepper
sweatpants because of the color you can
see the color has this amazing
salt-and-pepper heathering to it so
bagginess these are baggy err than the
Nikes and the edita is the less baggy
than the champion they're similar in
like the upper thigh area but you can
tell the difference a lot towards the
bottom they're looser around the calves
and the lower thigh for sure they don't
have as much of that tapered look I feel
like the tapered look gives a more
sporty effect wear something like this
just feels like a really really good
silhouette for just a casual loungewear
sweatpants I really like the silhouette
of these I think they're just like
classic and nice and simple softness
wise these are super super soft we're
getting softer and softer these feel so
good on your legs they feel incredibly
soft like the outside is soft but it has
a little bit of texture to it I think
the intense amount of heathering creates
a little bit of texture that you can
definitely feel with your hands not that
it's like rainy or anything but you can
feel the texture I don't know I just
love it it feels so cozy and nice the
nike ones are more uniform in color and
in thread so
don't get that like kind of texture but
then oh my god guys the way that these
feel on my legs on the inside is like an
actual cloud like I just have to stick
my hand in to like feel it with my
fingertips to really be able to describe
it but these are fleece lines so they
have that fleecy amazing feeling on your
legs softer than the Nikes for sure
so the fleece lining on these I think
it's incredibly incredibly soft
thickness wise these are also very thick
again I think the fleece lined ones end
up feeling a lot thicker than the others
actually these might be a hair thinner
than the Nikes the fact that they're
just like a smidge thinner than the Nike
and a smidge bagger I think makes them
actually more comfortable to wear I will
do this little finger thing again let me
know if you guys actually think this is
helpful but this is what my mind goes to
when I'm like how am I gonna show how
thick these are okay next up is ankle
elastic so these are not tapered along
the calf but they do have an ankle
elastic so yeah as you can see they have
an elastic here at the ankle it's pretty
like thin it's only like an inch and a
half thick maybe and it's loose so it
doesn't actually like dig into your skin
so again I feel like it's the perfect
amount of ankle elastic I just really
like these and then waistband this one
has a thinner waistband like this the
other ones were a little bit more thick
this is more traditional waistband and
then there's a hidden drawstring on the
inside this is how much wiggle room I
have but then it snaps back nice and
snug so if you guys have a smaller waist
you struggle with things being baggy
around your waist I think these are
gonna be awesome for you because they
definitely have that like snappy elastic
that kind of strong elastic that really
bounces back and they have the
drawstring okay and then other things
length these are long so they're longer
than the adidas and the Nikes and they
also come in a long version
sagginess I'm not struggling with I'm
not like getting any weirdness here
besides just the way the elastic makes
the fabric look I think these are super
flattering I also feel like these look
very flattering from the back I just
think these are super super cute and
these have pockets as well I can see why
you guys love them so much and I'm so
happy to have learned about them because
they're really really nice sweatpants
like they're super nice so before
revealing the number one most popular
pair of sweatpants I'm gonna take a
quick pause to talk about our sponsor

Skillshare for sponsoring this video and
now let's reveal the number one most
popular sweatpants according to you okay
drumroll the moment you've been waiting
for the number one most popular pair of
sweatpants according to you guys were
the brandy melville Rosa sweat pant
usually the number one of whatever video
I'm doing wins by like a landslide this
is definitely one of those cases but the
roots was pretty close in second place
there was a bigger gap between the top
two and then the bottom three but these
won by many votes a lot of you guys even
put a million like exclamation points
when you typed in brandy melville Rosa
with a lot of exclamation points but
anyway these are 28 dollars so they're
on the more affordable side they're 75
percent cotton 25 percent polyester they
come in multiple colors and they're one
size like everything else at brandy
melville I would say that these are
close to like a standard size small or
like a small size medium so let's try
along these brandy melville sweat pants
and see it what I think okay the number
one pair of sweat pants is on my body
these are the brandy melville rose
sweatpants but you guys love these Randy
Melville sweatpants and I can totally
see why they feel really good so let's
get into it
so bagginess these are definitely on the
bagger side as you can see they are
super baggy I would say that they're not
as bad as the champions but they're
different kind of like look to them in
terms of softness these are super soft
as well I am struggling figuring out if
these are softer than the roots or not I
think they're on par brandy melville
clothing in general is very very soft
they have some magic in their fabrics
but it has if you guys have felt like
brandy melville sweatshirts and things
like that it feels like that and then
these are also lined with a very very
soft fleece I do think the roots ones
felt softer on my skin thickness wise I
think these are a little bit more thin
than the roots they're definitely
thinner than the Nikes when I say
thinner definitely not anywhere as thin
as like the champions because these have
that fleece lining what do you guys
think they're really similar honestly
ankle elastics is a yes they do have an
ankle elastic so it's a wider band than
the roots these ones there's like two
inches maybe two and a half and it's
also a little bit tighter around the
ankles than the roots so it creates a
different effect along the ankles
because these ones are actually catching
the leg the roots ones everything kind
of blended in together you could hardly
tell that there is an elastic there
these ones you can definitely tell that
there's an elastic that's kind of
catching the fabric it's kind of giving
the pants like a more ballooned effect
waistband on these is actually a little
bit baggy err more comfortable more
stretchy than the roots and the Nike and
everything this one has no drawstring so
it's just an elastic waistband that is
honestly like super super stretchy the
elastic doesn't have as much of that
snap snap back as the roots ones it's
more of a loose elastic which is
actually super comfortable to wear other
little things this is the length on me
these have pockets similar to the roots
ones not as deep as the roots or the
Nike but they're still there I'm not
getting any extra fabric around this
area I think it looks good and then
again like I said these are fleece lined
so these are the number one so those are
the
five most popular pair of sweatpants
according to you guys here's how our
rankings compare just in case you're
curious this is my personal ranking my
personal preference as always I would
love your help and picking the next
thing that I should do for this series I
