What is the best fabric for joggers?
Choosing your fabric depends on whether you want to wear them as leisurewear and lounge pants or a more structured look with a slim fitting waistband.
For cozy lounge pants, the best fabrics are:
- french terry
- brushed fleece
- sweater knit
- velour
- cotton lycra/spandex
- stretch velvet
For a more stylish look, choose a knit fabric with some structure, such as:
- ponte de roma
- heavier weight cotton lycra/spandex
- liverpool/bullet/double knit
Whatever you use, make sure the waistband fabric has good recovery (especially if there’s no elastic or drawstring). No one wants to be continually pulling their joggers up!
Women’s joggers are great to have in your wardrobe because they can be worn at any time – from work trousers to sweatpants to pyjamas! We hope you enjoyed our round-up of the best women’s joggers sewing patterns.
