Yes, they’re just a fancy term for pajama bottoms, yet lounge pants have come a long way in just a few years and are an essential part of any man’s wradrobe.
We won’t lie – lounge pants is just a fashionable term for mens pajama bottoms. Having said that, do you really want to have to put the dog out in the middle of the night wearing just your boxers?
Clearly not; you need the comfort and warmth lounge pants provide, while they are infinitely more comfortable to wear around the house than a baggy, heavy pair of cotton tracksuit bottoms.
Searching for lounge pants online or in stores can be a tricky ordeal, however, as the majority of high street stores haven’t yet discovered that the majority of men don’t want to wear ‘ironic’ Spider-Man or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pants and neither do they find clothing with crude and offensive sexual slogans enjoyable to wear or impress their other halves.
What the majority of men want are comfortable and classic plain and plaid designs, the type that won’t arouse laughter from your partner or delivery man that’s wondering why you haven’t got properly dressed at 6pm. The labels below are our best picks to look your best when you really don’t feel like it.
