Light grey Essentials sweatpants come closer to trousers than to joggers, thanks to a stitched crease running down the front of each leg. You can compare other styles at Essentials Canada, but this pair falls straight and wide to an open hem. That single change makes them easier to wear outside the house. A navy script sits on the thigh, and a long drawcord with a black tab hangs from the elastic waist. Side pockets sit at the hip, and each crease runs from the waistband to the hem down the centre of the leg. Check the line of the crease in the wide leg grey sweatpants image.
A Stitched Crease and an Open Hem
The crease adds a sharper line than you normally get from fleece. Because the hem stays open, the fabric breaks over a trainer rather than stacking at the ankle.
If You Prefer a Cuff
The taupe Essentials sweatpants use the same soft fleece idea with elastic ankle cuffs and a narrower leg.
A Fleece Heavy Enough to Hold the Line
The 420 GSM fleece, in 80% cotton and 20% polyester, has enough body to hold the straight line. Your usual size should sit well at the waist, and the drawcord takes care of small gaps. S to 3XL are available. Above this wide leg, the grey Essentials sweatshirt keeps the look calm.
Length on Shorter Frames
A straight leg shows extra length more than a cuffed one does, so a tailor can take up the hem if needed.
Dressing Them Up or Down
A plain tee keeps them relaxed, while a clean crewneck makes them look smarter. For a darker top, try the black Essentials graphic hoodie and let the leg stay simple.
Keeping the Crease Sharp
Wash cold, hang them by the waist to dry, and press lightly on the reverse if the line softens.
