Basic Sweatpants

Basic Sweatpants in black are a cotton-blend jogger for women, cut with an elastic waist and relaxed legs so nothing digs in when you sit around at home.

On slow mornings and lazy weekends you want trousers you can pull on without thinking. These do that job: a soft cotton and polyester mix with an elastic waistband that stays put, and roomy legs that let you move.

Wear them with a plain tee at home or a jumper and trainers on a coffee run. They come in true-to-size black, so they slot in with whatever you already own.

Not for you if you want a fitted, tapered leg; the cut here is deliberately relaxed and loose.
