Condition 1 of sweatpants for adultsLoose silhouette that does not pick up leg lines
In the pre-pandemic era, tapered, slim pants were the norm, but today the trend is toward a wide silhouette with a relaxed feel. Even if you choose a loose silhouette that doesn’t pick up the line of the leg and falls nicely down to the leg, it will give you a more modern and fashionable look.
Adult Sweatpants Requirements 2Half to One Cushion Length
If you choose a length that is so long that it drags at the hem, you will look sloppy, and a no-cushion length that shows the ankles is not quite in the current mood. What you should choose is a half to one cushion length with the hem just touching the back of the leg. The trick is to find the right balance between the two without looking too formal.
Condition 3 of adult sweatpantsOpen-hemmed sweatpants without a hem
Sweatpants are usually designed with elastic around the legs, but for fashionable use, open-hemmed sweatpants are the way to go. For fashion use, however, the open-hem design is the one to aim for. Incidentally, wide hems (24~30cm) seem to be gaining popularity among the fashionable crowd.
Three choices of sweatpants
Finally, we pick up a selection of sweatpants that fulfill the three conditions mentioned so far!
Excellent Sweatpants 1
All processes from spinning to finishing sewing are produced in a trusted Japanese factory. While the silhouette is loose and straight with a single pleat at the waist, the balance of the gusset, knee area, and hem width has been adjusted to avoid giving a slouchy impression, resulting in a finish that can be worn beautifully by adults. The hem has a drawcord with a cord stopper, so you can tighten the hem to your liking.
