Vuori almost always comes out on top in our guides to the best loungewear and athleisure, and these joggers are no different. The polyester blend has a buttery-soft feel and moisture-wicking technology to keep you cool. We appreciate that they have four-way stretch and zippered pockets.
Our style pros at the Textiles Lab named this Uniqlo pick the best T-shirt for men after testers gave it high praise for feeling durable and looking stylish with its boxier fit. While airy, testers found it had a nice weight. The shirt also earned a high score for opacity in Lab tests.

SKIMS is another popular brand among our Lab pros and tester consumers for its comfortable pieces and inclusive size range. A lot of their items run from XS to 5X, including these best-selling cotton/polyester sweatpants from the brand. They feature an elastic waistband for stretch, along with a drawstring for adjustability. You can even throw them in the washing machine.
You get the top and bottoms in this set from Eberjey, a brand our pros regularly recommend for men and women. We’ll argue that the henley top with functional buttons can double as a daytime loungewear alternative. You can choose from several colors.

Credit: Los Angeles Apparel My (Maglente) husband and I own several pieces from L.A. Apparel, which was founded by Dov Charney, who created American Apparel. It’s a great go-to for finding streetwear basics.
This sweatshirt will keep you warm in the colder months, thanks to its fleece material. It's also designed to be moisture-wicking. Plus, the ribbed cuffs and hem are a stylish touch that will also keep cold drafts out.
New Balance may be best known for its sneakers, but the brand also sells men's and women's clothing—including loungewear staples like this hoodie. It's made from a soft French terry material and features a relaxed fit.
We like that the embroidered logo is subtle on the chest and think the side ribbing makes the sweatshirt a bit more unique. Satisfied online shoppers found the fabric sturdy and the sweatshirt comfortable.

Overall, Mack Weldon is widely known for their high quality men’s basics. Their ACE collection is popular among online shoppers, including one of our staffer's fathers. "I gifted my dad a zip-up hoodie and jogger set last year from them, and he wears them all the time," said Grace Wu, Senior Textiles, Paper and Apparel Lab Product Analyst. We like these sweatshorts just as much. They're made from French terry and have a back pocket.
Marketed as "the softest jogger pant ever," the Luxome Essential jogger features a drawcord waist, four-way stretch, and side and back pockets. It's made from Modal fleece blend for a soft outer layer and plush interior. The material is also moisture-wicking, according to the brand, to keep you cool and relaxed at all times.
