Surprisingly difficult to get a good pair of trackie bottoms that fulfill the following criteria:

Social
1
  • Comfortable to wear at home daily
  • Are good enough to wear to Tesco Express or Asda
  • Have zips on the pockets
  • Slimfit and not baggy around the crotch
  • Don’t have any naff coloured stripes or sporty obnoxious colouring or logo
  • Gonna say cotton

I’m not saying they don’t exist, it’s just easy to get a pair that don’t quite fulfill the criteria that you end up keeping because they nearly do.

Pocket zips are your elusive factor there

You could go to a laundrette that has a sewing person and they could probably install them for you for a small fee

Maybe I don’t need zipped pockets actually

TK Maxx have a good range. My son has the same criteria and we found several pairs there that were what he was looking for.

Completely agree, this is the bane of my life (well, it is since I turned into a full time slob in 2020)

Off to Tk Maxx it is then!

NEARLY got this the other day but they are short in the leg

I don’t want zipped pockets but I do want the pockets to be big enough that I can reliably sit down without my phone falling out

Yeah i agree but i bought some climbing trousers that are more comfy wearing around the house than trackies so i just wear them now instead

Adidas ones have zips, but also stripes which you don’t want, so idk

George @ Asda is my go-to for these.

Not sure what I’m missing but I’ve always found trousers you’d wear out of the house comfortable enough to wear around the house so I don’t get the point of separate inside clothing???

He’s a good guy, lots of quality and affordable merchandise, like the supermarket Tom Skinner.

I wear Tesco’s slim fit black joggers most days

Everything you said except zips.

They do fade a bit after a few washes but who cares. Not me.

‘Comfortable enough’ is not what we should be settling for in life.

It’s more that I don’t want to ruin clothes by sitting around the house in them all day. So they have to be shit enough that I don’t feel bad about wearing them all the time, but not too shit that I can’t be seen in public in them

I have some from uniqlo and they fulfil every one of your criteria, plus they have a big enough pocket for my phone.

Adidas Adventure ones are stripeless but still have zip pockets.
