Sweatpant jeans (aka, “sweens”) are the winter jeans trend we’re beyond happy to slip into this season.
The pants are exactly what they sound like: sweatpants that look like jeans. Many styles are made from a soft cotton-terry blend fabric, creating the sleek illusion of denim, but with a secret sweatpants feel that only the wearer is privy to.
With celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Brittany Mahomes co-signing the trend, it’s quickly become a go-to style for travel, movie nights, and running errands — you can even wear sweens to the office (depending on the dress code). Even Oprah Winfrey has worn this sneaky-comfy pants style (although her Rag & Bone pair are a splurge), so you know it’s worth grabbing a pair.

“My sweens have become a go-to comfy pants for movie theatres, travel, and casual outings. They’re so comfortable but don’t look as frumpy as sweatpants.” — Madison Yauger, senior shopping editor
Halara Flex™ High-Waisted Casual Bootcut Jeans

$50 $45 at Halara.com
Halara’s sweatpant jeans made us do a double-take. They simultaneously combine the retro vibes of ‘90s bootcut jeans with the comfort of your favorite sweats. They’re constructed from a soft cotton blend and feature a stretchy waistband that you can show off or hide under a button-down if you want to get away with wearing them to the office.
“Sweatpant jeans are basically lounge pants in disguise — soft, comfy, easy to move and sit in, and let me feel like I’m wearing sweats while looking like I actually got dressed.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer

Dlooda Stretchy Wide-Leg Jeans

$40 $30 at Amazon
Amazon has sweatpant jeans, too, including this wide-leg style. The pants are available in five different washes and have a smoothing waistband that doesn’t dig into your sides. They’re also made from a lightweight cotton blend that looks like real denim and wears nicely with sneakers, boots, or a pair of comfy clogs for a more casual look.
“I truly don’t know how I lived so long without my beloved sweatpant jeans. I wear them weekly, whether I’m running errands or working from home. Plus, they’ve become my go-to travel pants, as they get slightly looser throughout the day, so they never feel tight or constricting like actual jeans.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial shopping director
While it might not be appropriate to wear actual sweatpants to work, the comfy yet put-together look of sweatpant jeans makes it entirely possible to sneakily try the trend this fall (we won’t tell!).
