This Supermodel-Approved Style Trick Makes Wearing Jeans Way More Comfortable

Do you wear jeans, or do you wear sweatpants? During the height of lockdown, you probably leaned toward the latter, and as everything started to open up again, you likely (begrudgingly) reached for your jeans again. Ahh, the good ol' denim debacle. But what if we told you that you didn't have to choose anymore — as in, you can actually wear sweatpants that look like jeans and have the best of both worlds. Uhh, hallelujah!
Supermodel Paulina Porizkova let us in on one of her nearly decade-old style tricks — and all we can say is, why didn't we think of this earlier? She posted an Instagram photo wearing a white Rag & Bone tee and what at first glance appeared to be regular ol' jeans. But, after reading the caption, we realized we fell for the trick. These weren't your average jeans; they were jean joggers, also known as jean-sweatpants.

Porizkova writes in the caption, "Why am I so happy? Because Rag & Bone @ragandbone has finally, finally come back with the 'jeans' which are, in fact, sweatpants. I bought a pair seven years ago, and they are the single most used and precious thing in my closet." The single most used thing in this supermodel's closet? That's already enough to convince us to buy a pair (or two) of jean joggers. She also made sure to mention this was not an ad for Rag & Bone, but a genuine review, and she's already planning to stock up on more. Now, we are too.
Rag & Bone has made good denim for two decades and amassed a solid celeb fan base that includes Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, and Jennifer Garner. It also makes sense the brand is churning out innovative denim takes (like jean joggers), considering it's played around a lot with different silhouettes and fabrications.

Rag & Bone's jean joggers are among the brand's most brilliant designs yet, and well-known labels like Mother, BlankNYC, and Hudson are also unveiling their take on the silhouette. All that to say, wearing jeans in 2022 doesn't mean you have to choose between comfort and style: Denim sweats offer both.
We're just sorry we didn't know about this supermodel-approved styling trick sooner. But, better late than never, of course, which is why we rounded up all the best sweatpants that look like jeans and jogger-style denim pants below. Shop one, shop all!
