When it comes to activewear, most of us would instantly think of tights or shorts. However, joggers (also known as sweatpants) also make an excellent option as they’re very versatile.
Nowadays, you can wear joggers for almost anything, whether it’s for casual wear, working out, or even just for lounging. Some women don’t find them flattering because they’re not as tight as leggings.
It’s true; they’re not meant for all body types. Since they’re tapered at the bottom and quite baggy on top, you’ll need to have those curves to look good in them.
But when shopping for workout clothes, you shouldn’t focus on the style. There are a few things you can consider when buying joggers. Ideally, as with any clothing item, comfort should be on top of the list. And, of course, pockets are always bonus items.
With those things in mind, I searched around for a pair of joggers that delivers a balance of style and comfort. Luckily, I came across the Athleta Restore Jogger. This jogger is a part of the Restore clothing line. It aims to inspire women to take a pause and relax for a moment.
According to the brand, every piece in the Athleta Restore line is created from sustainable fabric and “made to inspire calm.” Although the line is intended for relaxation, these joggers are also suitable for workouts and other activities.
Let’s take a closer look at its features and see what it has to offer!
Athleta Restore Jogger Detailed Review
✔ FIT
The Athleta Restore Jogger is semi-fitted and mid-rise, allowing a full range of motion. It hugs your body just right, highlighting your bum and thighs.
The brand made sure that all their products will look good on different body types. So, they make their joggers, and other bottoms, available in four types of fit – regular, tall, petite, and plus size. The tall fit is made for women who are 5’10” and up. The inseam of the tall bottoms fit is 3″ longer than the regular fit, so they’re not too short.
Petite fit, on the other hand, is designed for women who are 5’4”. These bottoms are 2” shorter in length and ½” shorter in rise than the regular size.
If you want a slim fit, you can go a size smaller, since they can also stretch out after some washes.
✔ DESIGN
As mentioned, the Restore line is said to be created from sustainable materials. The Athleta Restore Jogger is made from a fibre called Lenzing Modal®. According to the brand, this type of fabric is “produced from European beechwood trees harvested from sustainable forests.”
The sustainable materials used in these joggers result in a soft and stretchable fabric that makes you want to wear them forever. Athleta even describes it as “beyond-soft Nirvana fabric”, and I wouldn’t even argue about it.
Aside from the soft fabric, it also comes with an ultra-comfortable wide waistband. It’s guaranteed to stay in place even during yoga sessions. On top of that, this jogger also has deep pockets on the front – which is a plus for me!
✔ COMFORT
The Athleta Restore Jogger is comfortable for just about any activity. Whether it’s yoga, running, weightlifting, or even Netflix and chilling, you’ll always want to be in it. This jogger glides smoothly on the skin, and it’s very stretchy.
As with any jogger, this one is tapered at the bottom and comes with ribbed cuffs. It’s also very lightweight and breathable, keeping you worry-free all day and night!
✔ PRICE
Although the Athleta Restore Jogger cost more than you would probably spend on a single clothing item, it’s still reasonable for its price. It’s made of high-quality, sustainable fabric, and it will never go out of style.
Besides, clothes that are made from sustainable fabric are usually expensive, but more and more people should opt for them.
Conclusion
Spending a little more for your clothes isn’t bad, as long as you’re confident about their quality and comfort. The Athleta Restore Jogger is a versatile piece of clothing that can be used for working out or relaxing. Plus, it’s not difficult to pair up with shirts and tank tops!
These are the softest joggers you’ll ever own, and believe me when I say you’ll never want to take them off.
