What are they?
First of all, it is necessary to clarify what such trousers are called. Their correct name is jogger trousers.
These trousers are most often straight cut and do not fit tightly to the leg, and the leg itself ends with an elastic band. The waistline height in men's jeans with an elastic band at the bottom is standard, but the location of the inseam can vary. The inseam height can be either classic or low, but it never falls below the middle of the thigh.
Depending on the style of joggers, the elastic at the bottom of the legs can have different widths and designs:
- The standard option is a thin strip of elastic sewn into the fabric of the trousers,
- A wide elastic band that stretches slightly,
- Elastic band sewn down the leg, stretches well,
- Elastic band, draped with trouser fabric on top.
In addition, special attention is paid to the trouser belt and fastener, which can be made in the form of:

Joggers made of natural fabrics are perfect for the summer season. A man will feel comfortable in them, they are lightweight, breathable, and do not retain moisture. Some summer joggers resemble capris with an elastic band at the bottom.
For the autumn-spring or winter periods, jogger jeans are well suited. Such trousers are made of denim, and their colors vary from dark blue to light blue. They can be complemented with patch pockets, stripes or embroidery, holes or scuffs.
