Availability for the women’s version has been an ongoing problem throughout the pandemic.

The Uniqlo pants are cuffed at the ankles, so if you are on the shorter side, they’re easier to wear (unlike some other styles we tested). Both the men’s and women’s versions have pockets, and both come in more sizes than most other pants we researched (but the sizing isn’t as inclusive as that of Universal Standard’s lounge pants, which we love). They’re also the warmest pant recommendation on our list-even thicker than the L.L.Bean flannels. They’re comfortable, flattering, sturdy, and cheap. We think many of Uniqlo’s lounge pants are perfect for that, but we especially liked the men’s and women’s sweats. Why they’re great: Many of our staffers said they like to lounge and sleep in relaxed sweats and a T-shirt.
