Help with buying sweatpants
I need 2 pair of sweatpants since mine have torn from so much use. I want something versatile, so was thinking one black and one gray pair. Versatile also in the sense that I'd like to use them for going to the gym, go for a walk, and just chilling in the couch.
I prefer straight cut/wide ish look wise (though perhaps that's not practical for gym?). I want to thrift them to hopefully get something better. Budget would be 100€ for each pair. Based in EU! Also I'm 5'7 so most sweatpants will probably be too long and need to be hemmed. Any brands that can be recommended?
Thanks in advance!

I don’t necessarily have a recommendation, but what type of material? Like fleece type or track pants nylon-y
And with jogger cuffs or without
I think I prefer fleece like? Basically like these. I think one pair with jogger cuffs and 1 pair without! One would be more athletic and one more chill and slouchy is my idea!
not saying they're the best but i got some Mango joggers i like, they're on the mango site in the eu from what i can tell (cord joggers, 80% cotton 20% polyester). but if you're willing to do 100 euro per pair you can probably do better
have heard good things about j crew's heritage 14oz sweatpants as a more loungy pair; whatever shipping costs are offset by the fact j.crew almost always has a sale ongoing
manresa's loopback sweatpants are incredible but retail for $105; if you wait for them to announce a sale the discount + shipping might be in budget
Thank you! Both of those look great honestly. I'll be on the lookout for sales and 2nd hand!
I urgently needed some sweatpants though so I thrifted a pair of new Axel arigatos!
Also thrifted a pair for 3$ I thought looked cool, enough to take a chance on
