What comfortable pants do you use at home in winter?

[Trouser Bark]

Sweat pants are the functional equivalent of wandering around the house in holey skivvies.

 

[twistdh]

I got a couple of these 5 or 6 years ago and have been wearing them a lot all year round. Super comfy.

wow nice! Now i want also a pair of this...damn you ahahah...

i have a similar cotton pant bought in Nepal for like 4$ that i use a lot in spring/autumn at home, and I've already patched up a couple of times...i have to retire it, this can be awesome substitutes.

I don't think it's wrong to wear them in the house, but outside I think you should be exercising.
Pajama bottoms in public are worse, but wearing either in public with house slippers or socks & sandals should be a crime of indecency.

I don't actually own any sweatpants , I can't wear fleece because it makes my skin crawl and as said before If I'm not in bed I'm wearing a belt.

I'd likely wear a suit most of the time - I'm very comfortable in that. A lot definitely is familiarity

Kinda makes me jealous. The only time I wore a suit daily was during my only internship job of which I hated every minute and, to make it even worse, was unpaid. On the bright side, the few times I wear a suit I enjoy the novelty and it feels special.

There's also enjoyment going around looking homeless from time to time, not just around the house

Why not? Lazy Sunday morning, go for a coffee, nothing easier than wearing a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie!

This I agree. Particularly nasty to go outside with house slippers to bring home all the dirt from the street.

Anyway, I'll add my own pics with tighter pants to give the opposite perspective to the shared wide ones. All these are from Decathlon. Grey ones are the ones that simply were my perfect fit. Black ones I used for the gym a few times I didn't wear shorts. The dark blue ones (top right) were a pair that was old so I moved them to just use at home, same as I did with the black ones earlier this year. None of them exceeded 20 euros.

I don't particularly like baggy ones as I feel cold without the fabric close to my skin and in summer I just wear shorts (mostly Under Armour, as I do right now as I type).

Now I guess we need someone to provide the middle ground!

If you're used to wearing real clothes at basically all times it's not an issue at all.
If you carry things in your pockets sweatpants are useless, no belt loops to clip your keys, not durable if you need to make unexpected repairs on your mode of transportation, and of course like you said before " looking homeless ".
I don't want to look like one of the tweakers that beg in front of every Walmart.

Huge culture clash here. I've lived in Europe all my life. I don't need to carry much in my pocket, nor belt loops, nor durability for unexpected repairs (!!??) when going for a coffee means walking for 10 minutes or even less. I can literally see 3 coffee shops just by looking out my window!

Sweatpants are real clothes! Embrace the homelessness! Become any other rando having a latte!

 

[twistdh]

I never go outside with sweatpants if i don’t do some sport, but at home they are comfy and practicle. If I make it dirty or break it i don’t care because they are cheap.

For sure if I have someone for dinner i wear “real” clothes.

In any case i live in a town and when i go out i need my keys, wallet (not always) and phone…it’s ok all type of pants

Socks and sandals brrr haha

I've always hated sandals. Even as a child I thought they were hideous and had to wear them (I haven't had a pair since).
Socks with sandals are a step up from the abomination, but I still prefer them to seeing other people without socks and unkempt feet in their sandals.
But that only applies to me personally. Everyone else should wear whatever they want.
As for the sweat pants... I have exactly one pair (by the way: Revolution Race, not recommended) that I feel like I wear three times a year. Whenever I get ready early on a rainy Sunday, but it's far too early to go to bed. Then it can happen that I wear these sweat pants instead of jeans, chinos or board shorts. I would never leave the house in them.

Here in Spain my nearest to sandals are traditional Spanish Menorquinas and sweat pants I don't, I buy linen cargos traditional made in Nepal, nice and cool for hot Madrid weather

You're welcome
If you do double check the sizing chart.
I went with my usual size but they were a bit tight at the seat and felt like I would blow a seam so I sized up.

I'm from Italy...but we have always had some import duties for items outside European Union...On average 20/25% added to the cost (over certain price)...for cheap items can be 0 to 33%...this is why i higly prefer EU items...

Similar here in England - though oddly I'm rarely charged on anything I order in from China. The UK tightened up on imports from the US about fifteen years ago when the pound got really strong against the dollar, and nothing slips the net now. That said, since the pound dropped to historic lows against the US dollar in 2016 and hasn't really improved significantly since (still only USD1.35 to the pound), it's been a long time since it was really worth buying anything from over there. For the last few years there's been the added hassle of import taxes and such from the EU, though that's usually easier to mange with a lot of websites now dealing with all the charges upfront.

my jeans at the waist are 40cm (in fact my actual waist is 80/82) for example...and the nepalese pants that i would like to substitute with yours are 32cm in the waist (obviously there is an elastic band, so the waist can extend to max 53cm).

for the osonian pants they say that the waist always start at 68cm...then with the S size go to max 106cm...for the M size to max 110cm. What do you suggest? I usually have S size, or at most M for particular model.

I want a relaxed fit for this pants, but I don't want to have to tighten the string too much

According to the measurements indicated I would have taken an S size, but now i doubt.
Thanks

My jeans are 41-42cm and my Osonians are L.
The waist was no issue but the seat was too small in M.
My wife kept the M, on top of the L below.
I don't think you have to worry about tightening the string too much.

I usually wear cheap ($60.00) Carhartt jeans during the cooler months not the $300-400.00 Iron Heart jeans (and other premium jeans) that seem popular with the FL set. I would think wearing extra heavy denim indoors would negate the comfort factor most seek in being as unencumbered as possible while lounging about.

Wow, that L is more or less like my nepalese pants (that is in general for small people)! Has the same measure if i measure like you do, without flattening the waist. I think that i also have to go with an L size! I only have a couple centimeters less then you. For this type of pants it's better a loose fit rather then too tight.

M&S used to produce/co-opted a label called Blue Harbour. They made slacks that are the most comfortable ones I’ve ever worn and I’ve had the same pair for 15 years. I spilt dilute bleach on them and they’re now house-trousers.

I also buy pants from Nepal but cargos linen with elasticated waist and draw string ties, the higher sizes are big, got mine from Amazon

If you like a heavy weight (think blanket) feel, make some track pants that wear diesel.

They‘re a bit to heavy for my liking.

 

[TheOldFashioned]

Flannel lined Dickies denim. Nothing special but it doesn't need to be at home. Picked up a pair on clearance at a department store many years ago, and to this day I wish I had bought every pair on the shelf.
