Comfort, style, freedom of movement: it all starts with the right size. Choosing the right jogging pants is not just about the cut, but also about the perfect fit. You still need to know how to wear jogging pants well by finding the ideal size according to your body shape and style.
1. Know your measurements
Waist circumference: where the jogging pants naturally sit
Hip circumference: especially important for tapered joggings
Leg length: measure from crotch to ankle
Tip: measure a pair of pants you often wear for comparison.
2. Read size guides carefully
Each brand has its own sizing, especially in streetwear
Refer to centimeters rather than letters (S, M, L...)
Look at worn photos and model sizes (often indicated)
3. Adapt according to the desired style
Oversize style: opt for one size up
Fitted style: choose your exact size, or even half a size smaller
Straight or cargo cut: often looser around the hips
4. Test comfort
The size should neither compress the waist nor slip down
Check that the crotch does not restrict movement
Make sure the elastic waistband holds well without marking you
5. Don’t forget length
Standard length: the bottom of the jogging should fall on the ankle
Too short? You can play with the cropped style
Too long? Roll up or choose a model tapered at the ankles.
Conclusion
Choosing the right size of jogging pants is finding the perfect balance between comfort and a controlled silhouette. By the way, if you want to give some savvy advice to the women around you, don’t hesitate to share our guide on how to wear jogging pants for women.
