My Favorite Alo Sweatpants Are So Warm for Fall

Fall activities involve outdoor walks, holiday travel, and movie marathons. What’s the plush style you can wear to stay warm and cozy through it all? You’ve probably guessed it: sweatpants.

They are the practical style you can rely on during crisp weather thanks to their stretchy elastic waistbands and cold-busting fabrics. And popular stores like Lululemon, Vuori, and Nordstrom are packed with options right now. You can even snag Spanx sweatpants on sale that both Oprah Winfrey and PEOPLE writers approve of.

From sleek joggers to breathable wide-leg styles, these sweatpants are exactly what you need to reach peak levels of cozy this fall.

Alo Muse Sweatpants

After receiving the Alo Muse sweatpants and matching hoodie as a Christmas gift three years ago, I’ve worn them for everything from traveling and errands to lounging on the couch and casual lunch dates. The waffle-knit fabric feels buttery soft and warm without making me overheat. The adjustable drawstring allows me to customize the fit, and the side pockets keep my hands cozy. The cuffed hem also traps in heat and gives the pants a jogger appearance that looks good with sandals, sneakers, and boots.

Automet Fleece-Lined Sweatpants

These $20 sweatpants are lined with fleece, which is ideal for cold weather because the fabric is made with lifted fibers that create an insulating layer. The baggy silhouette means you can wear the pants over a pair of shorts if you need to, say, layer up before heading to the gym for a workout. One Amazon shopper ordered multiple pairs and said that the pants maintain their quality after multiple washes.

Spanx AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants

We thought the fabric of these Spanx pants was silky-soft and draped nicely when we tried them, while Oprah said wearing them “feels like a hug.” The knit material is breathable and offers four-way stretch to optimize comfort. You can snag the pants in petite, tall, and regular lengths as well as sizes XS through 3XL. They’re even on sale right now for under $90, but sizes are going fast.

With temperatures only continuing to dip, now’s the time to upgrade your loungewear with these cozy sweatpants from Amazon, Athleta, and Nike below.
