Finding the perfect pair of joggers or sweatpants sounds like a fairly simple task. If you’re perusing a store in person, you can easily pick out a couple pairs to try on — or take home in hopes that they fit. But if you’re browsing various styles online, it’s a bit of a risk as you’re putting all of your trust in the reviews and size charts with fingers crossed that they’re accurate.
However, when you’re on the taller side or have longer legs, finding a pair that doesn’t stop at your calves or above your ankle is a common occurrence that is just downright frustrating. Not every website lists the inseams of joggers and sweatpants, and “tall” sizes don’t always mean tall enough. And shopping in-store can be a waste of time, as most of the time if a brand does have tall sizes, they often aren’t available to purchase there and you end up having to order online anyway. This opens the door for disappointment, inconvenience and high water-induced cold ankles (unless you do the hack of wearing long socks to cover the extra space).
Luckily for men who are a part of the tall or long-legged community, we’ve rounded up 9 joggers and sweatpants that made the cut in terms of providing long inseams (up to 38 inches!), various color options and flexible price ranges.
SCR Sportswear tapered joggers
The length options are abundant with these tapered-fit joggers. Select your waist size and inseam length for a customized fit. Sizes range from 28x30 inches to 36x36 inches. One reviewer said, "It's so hard to find a fit when you have a 34 waist and a 33 length/leg. These fit perfectly. That's what drew me to them, as they give exact sizings. I loved them so much I'm going to sleep in them tonight. Also, they are extremely stylish. You could probably get away with wearing these to work on casual Friday. Absolutely love these sweat pants!!!"
Made of a breathable cotton stretch blend, these joggers are great for casual wear or exercise. Colors include blue, black, heather gray, charcoal and khaki green.
