Sweatpant Jeans Are 2025’s Most Controversial (And Comfortable) Denim Trend

Rag & Bone has made variations of its viral Miramar sweatpant jeans for years—and they remain the gold standard to this day—even Sienna Miller is a fan. Printed to look like a pair of faded medium-wash jeans, this wide-leg style feels just right for spring 2025.

Gap’s French terry baggy jeans are another viral favorite. Grab the coordinating sweatpant jean jacket for a comfortable Canadian tuxedo that can easily be dressed up or down.
