Gone are the days when comfy tracksuit pants were restricted to the confines of your home or the gym. Nowadays, baggy versions have been replaced with flattering, high-quality pants that are cut closer to the body to create a more sophisticated silhouette. Plus, thanks to their versatility, comfortability and simplicity, tracksuit pants have to be one of, if not the best casual daks for men.
Here, we’ve rounded up the best ones currently on the market so you can look your greatest all while relaxing in pure comfort whether you’re heading to the gym, supermarket or working in your home office.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRACK PANTS AND SWEATPANTS?
Traditional sweatpants are made using a heavyweight cotton or polyester blend fabric, intended to provide comfort and added warmth, and are cut wider around the leg. This makes them bulkier and more suitable for loungewear. On the other hand, track pants are usually made with lightweight fabric or windbreaker materials, which helps wick away moisture and keeps you feeling cool. The cut of track pants also tends to be tapered and slim fit, making them suitable for sports and travel as well as lounging around.
