Although similar at a glance, there are a number of key differences between Leggings & Joggers which could and should influence your buying habits. What came first, the chicken or the egg… the Legging or the Jogger? Well, Joggers are an expansion of the Legging concept, expanded in that Joggers typically have a stretchy, expandable waistline which allows for less restricted movement WITH POCKETS! Their use is synonymous when exercising but also as a fashion statement in it’s own right.

Leggings are arguably the original item of clothing in this style, boasting a tighter approach to their tailoring, they too are suitable for both social occasions and exercise, however in concept there are no pockets or tailoring additions that make them a “functional” piece of clothing, unlike the additions made to Joggers. The debate of Joggers vs Sweatpants will likely wage on for years and years to come…but there is a difference with Sweatpants being made from a different material and generally a looser fit, however the one glaring difference is in the name – Sweat Pant, they are designed to encourage the wearer to sweat where Joggers are tailored to keep the Jogger cool.
