I’m not going to lie, sweatpant jeans becoming one of 2025’s biggest denim trends was not on my bingo card- but I simply couldn’t be any happier.
As a denim-obsessed fashion writer who tends to opt for comfortable yet fashionable pieces on a daily basis, I’m always open to experimenting in the pursuit of finding the best jeans. Even when these aren’t technically jeans.
The viral sensation was recently popularized by the American brand Rag & Bone, which debuted its Miramar collection across women’s and men’s clothing. The range features a hyperrealistic print designed to mimic classic denim detailing for the ultimate illusion. Made from 100% cotton, these super-soft sweatpants are so intricately made that they really do fool everyone.
A divisive pair, to say the least, traditional sweatpant jeans mimic the illusion of a classic wide-leg pair whilst ensuring the everyday comfort feel of a beloved pair of sweatpants.
More recently, other brands, such as Frame, Me + Em, and H&M, have embraced the trend and released their iterations in different colourways and silhouettes. From Frame’s sleek pocket-less navy flares to Me + Em’s sleek tie-front palazzo sweatpant jeans, you can’t go wrong with investing in a pair.
