One of them is the old adage, “beauty is pain.” Or in other words–achieving a certain look may sometimes require discomfort, especially if it’s aligned with a societal standard that only a small number of people actually fit into. Au contraire, it’s simply untrue. Comfort and style are far from enemies, and there’s plenty of proof. Whether it’s classics like the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-white-button-down-shirts" target="_blank">white button-up</a> or newer looks like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-joggers" target="_blank">jogger pants</a>, shoppers are starting to care less about what others think and more about simply wearing what makes them feel their personal best.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, we will be talking about the latter: jogger pants, a.k.a. dressy joggers. Dressy joggers are an unofficial symbol of this style shift. They’re as comfortable as <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-womens-pajamas" target="_blank">pajamas</a> yet as stylish as the type of threads that don fanciful runways. They can be paired with formal and informal pieces and styled for most occasions, whether it’s with heels and a bodysuit for date night or an old yet treasured t-shirt while running errands.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This type of jogger also appeals to nearly every kind of shopper. Tall, short, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-plus-size-clothing-websites" target="_blank">curvy</a>, slender, budget-conscious, splurgy spender; it’s the new closet staple for everybody and every body. For shoppers who want to zero in on the best of the best joggers for women, look no further than this roundup.&nbsp;</p>

Thanks to the likes of celebrities like Bella Hadid, professional wear is becoming less formal and more approachable, and we’re excited about the styling opportunities this new era of fashion is bringing about.</p>
<p>One piece of professional wear worth adding to your closet immediately? A good pair of trousers. Typically reserved for work or formal occasions, trousers are now considered an everyday alternative to jeans. And because of their new status as casual wear, designers are making them more comfortable than ever.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;font-family: aktiv-grotesk;"><strong>What Is a Stretch Trouser?</strong></span></p>
<p>Stretch trousers are a type of slacks designed with comfort top of mind (similar to <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/product-review-quince-ultra-stretch-ponte-straight-leg-work-pant" target="_blank">Ponte pants</a>). Typically, stretch trousers are crafted from breathable, stretchy fabric blends that contain materials like tencel, elastane, spandex, or nylon. But despite their comfort-first approach, these pants are generally designed to provide a flattering, put-together appearance, with thoughtful features like high-rise waistbands, wide pant legs, and sometimes even compressive, tummy-smoothing panels.</p>
