Best Overall

Champion Powerblend® Fleece Hoodie

On Sale

Powerblend® Fleece Hoodie

Pros
  • Brushed interiors provide warm embrace
  • Super affordable
  • Classic style that will stand the test of time
  • Durable enough to handle multiple wash cycles
Cons
  • Sizes tend to sell out quickly

Sweatsuits don’t have to be expensive in order for them to look fly. Take Champion’s version. The OG brand has been churning out quality threads for decades and are still a go-to for that classic, comfy style. That being said, this budget-friendly option is a part of the Powerblend collection, which is the perfect mix of softness and durability, meaning you get a pair that feels great and holds up over time, wash after wash.

The matching set is made from midweight fleece that feels just right—warm and cozy without that extra bulk, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own when there’s a chill in the air. We love that the interiors are brushed to give that teddy bear feel that lays comfortably against your skin. There’s a kangaroo pouch to store your keys, wallet and other small belongings. Plus, the fabric is less likely to pill or shrink, so this sweatsuit will exist in your wardrobe for years to come.

Best for Casual Outings

lululemon Smooth Spacer Classic-Fit Pullover Hoodie

Smooth Spacer Classic-Fit Pullover Hoodie

Pros
  • Designed with extra room in the chest and at the waist
  • Four-way stretch
  • Locker loop for easy hanging
Cons
  • Pricey, but will last for years to come

Whether you’re meeting friends for a powwow lunch or picking up your morning latte, Lululemon has a sweatsuit designed for all your casual outings. Made from a polyester-modal blend, this option has a double-sided fabric that feels ultra-soft like butter against your skin. The drape falls away from the body, meaning there’s more room in the body and extra breathability to prevent overheating. But if you happen to break a sweat, don’t fret—the material dries down in a flash and keeps you feeling fresh.

Thanks to its four-way stretch, we felt super comfortable wearing the sweatsuit on a long-haul flight. There’s no pinching or restriction, just pure comfort. Although the sweatpant is slightly tapered in the leg, you can still get to where you’re going without any hassle.

Material 58% Recycled polyester, 34% Lenzing® modal, 8% Elastane

Best Luxury

Alo Yoga Accolade Hoodie

Accolade Hoodie

Pros
  • Chrome logo detail adds a nice touch
  • Perfect blend of luxury and streetwear
  • Made with quality French Terry fabric
  • Sweatpant drape neatly for sleek silhouette
Cons
  • Boxy fit isn’t for everyone

Alo’s sweatsuits offer the relaxed, cool aesthetic of streetwear, but with a touch of luxury. Enter the Accolade combo. It exudes a more premium feel characterized by a classic look, chrome logo detail across the chest and high-quality French terry fabric. We’ve worn this option with the best slides for a chill day at the house as well as our favorite walking shoes to hit the mall for some retail therapy.

The boxy, oversized fit of the hoodie is not everyone’s cup of tea. However, on a positive note, it will keep you snug in breezy conditions. If you rather sport something more tailored, we recommend going down once or twice in size. As for the sweatpant, the straight-leg style gives a neat, polished appearance versus a sloppy, baggy vibe. From the hip to the ankle, the material creates a sleek silhouette that can accentuate the legs and make you seem taller. Plus, there’s lots of cool colors to choose from, but this chestnut hue is bound to turn heads.

Most Comfortable

Everlane The ReTrack Hoodie

The ReTrack Hoodie

Pros
  • Fabric feels like heaven
  • Ribbed hem and cuffs block out drafts of air
  • Thicker, high-quality cotton
Cons
  • Might be feel too warm for some

When you’re picking out a sweatsuit, comfort is the name of the game. That’s why we love this Everlane set—it feels like a warm hug. The brand’s offering is crafted with a relaxed fit and a thicker, high-quality cotton, making it stand out from the pack. Unlike other picks on this list, the design features a double-layered hood, which feels more substantial and cozy, offering better protection against the cold and wind. Also, the ribbed hem and cuffs provide a clean finish and help trap in the heat. We’ve thrown on this sweatsuit for a quick grocery run or a game of pool, but it’s super comfy when you’re just lounging and unwinding.

Best Track-Style

Adidas ’80s Premium Embossed 3-Stripes Track Top

'80s Premium Embossed 3-Stripes Track Top

Pros
  • Offers vintage vibe
  • Durable fabric that’s resistant to snags and runs
  • Pants drape neatly
Cons
  • No hood for extra layer of protection

Adidas offers a track-style sweatsuit that brings out all retro vibes with its ‘80s-inspired design and iconic three-stripe detailing. The track top isn’t designed with a hoodie like most sweatsuits in this group, but it delivers big on coolness and comfort with its vintage aesthetic and snug fit. On top of the clean off-white look, the pants drape neatly straight down the leg, giving it a sharp, modern silhouette.

Both pieces are made from DoubleKnit tricot fabric, which has a smooth texture and durable structure, making it resistant to snags and runs. We found it has so much versatility in terms of style. It can be worn for a movie night, sporting event or throwback-themed party.

Material 100% recycled polyester doubleknit

Best Performance

Vuori Ponto Performance Half Zip Jacket Hoodie

Ponto Performance Half Zip Jacket Hoodie

Pros
  • Made with soft, proprietary DreamKnit fabric
  • Four-way stretch
  • Moisture-wicking

As you hone in your workouts, Vuori’s sweatsuit will keep up with every move. That’s because it’s infused with the brand’s proprietary DreamKnit fabric, which feels incredibly smooth, almost like a second skin. It’s super cozy and plush, giving you that velvety-soft feel while still being lightweight and breathable. With a four-way stretch, we’ve been able to perform a range of exercises including cardio, HIIT and yoga. Plus, the material wicks away moisture, so you stay cool and dry during those intense workouts. Make no mistake—this sweatsuit isn’t solely reserved for gym sessions. You can wear this for an impromptu lunch, light hike or red-eye flight.

Best Slim Fit

Reigning Champ Lightweight Terry Slim Zip Hoodie

Lightweight Terry Slim Zip Hoodie

Pros
  • Tailored fit looks great for athletic builds
  • Breathable
Cons
  • Might not be ideal if you prefer looser cut

If you prefer a streamlined fit that hugs your body perfectly without being too tight, Reigning Champ has you covered. The brand’s sweatsuit is made with lightweight Terry, a soft cotton material that feels soft and breathable, but still warm enough for cooler temps. It’s got a hint of stretch, so it moves with you and maintains its shape without feeling bulky. The zip-hoodie design also features durable YKK zippers that can handle wear and tear, semi-raglan sleeves for extra mobility and reinforced pockets that won’t sag over time.

Our fashion editors found the sweatpants to be more tapered in the leg than other options we tried, but not too much to where your thighs are suffocating. It’s an ideal pick for athletic builds that looks great for grabbing a casual bite to eat or shopping around the town.

Most Softest

Gymshark Crest Hoodie

Crest Hoodie

Pros
  • Ultra-soft inside and out
  • Perfect for performance and casual use
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Slim-fit may not work for everyone

A high level of softness is something to be desired in a solid sweatsuit. Gymshark offers one with brushed back fabric that feels like heaven on the interior. Its fabric blend gives you the best of both worlds—the breathability of cotton and the smooth, plush feel of polyester. In terms of fit, it’s designed to hug your body a bit more closely. It’s not baggy or oversized, rather gives you a more streamlined, tailored look. Our fitness editors have paired this set with their favorite running shoes to grab groceries or squeeze in a workout. Plus, it comes in a bunch of neutral colors, so you can mix and match with anything in your wardrobe.
