Leisurewear Bottoms

The best types of leisure bottoms are the ones you love to wear. Typically a relaxed fit with stretch in the waist, these bottoms are easy to pull on and made from fabrics that let you move freely, or lounge about in comfort all day.

The most inclusive pants, they’re made to flatter every shape. Available in pants, joggers or shorts, there’s a style to suit both your lifestyle and your wardrobe, whether you’re looking for casual wear for weekends, or women’s leisure bottoms for work.

• When choosing leisure bottoms, look for the following:
• Fabrics that are comfy to wear and feel soft against your skin
• Colours that match or complement other pieces of clothing in your wardrobe
• An elastic or drawstring waist
• Pockets (because we know you’ll love them)

In Australia, women’s leisure bottoms are a must-have wardrobe essential. Tracky dacks stylishly reinvented, these cosy lounge pants and comfy shorts are truly versatile to fit our relaxed lifestyle. They come in a range of on-trend colours and prints to pair with any of your casual pieces, from tops and tees to jumpers and jackets.

The most wanted styles in casual pants, leisure bottoms come in:

• Pants
• Joggers
• Shorts

Look for these comfortable pants in fabric favourites, like fleece, waffle and velour. If you’re after leisure bottoms to keep you warm when it’s cool, opt for a fleece jogger or a fleece pant. Walking the dog? Choose shorts or a leisure jogger. If you’re staying in over the weekend, waffle pants, denim joggers and linen joggers paired with leisure tops or jumpers make perfect go-to outfits – and you won’t even need to change if you’re dashing out for milk.

Knowing how to style different bottoms means leisure outfits can look put together and still be as comfy as your PJs.

For a monochromatic sporty look, wear the same colour (or different shades of the same hue) in your pants or shorts and in your tops. Team light grey shorts with a basic tee in a darker shade like charcoal. Or, pair a black pant with a black top or a matching stripe tee.

Choose a leisure top in the same fabric and colour as your leisure pants or joggers, and tuck it into the waist to create an instant, on-trend ‘jumpsuit’. Or throw out the colour rulebook, and mix and match leisure bottoms with leisure tops, jumpers and jackets in any shade you fancy.

To elevate your look, here’s what to add to your new leisure bottoms:

• To a print pant, a plain colour shirt or linen top
• To grey shorts, a stripe shirt worn tied at the waist and a denim jacket
• To joggers, a print top, half-tucked in the front; or a plain tee with a shacket
• To grey pants, a plain or stripe tee with a longline cardigan
• To a velour jogger, a basic tee with a blazer – pull up the cuffs on the bottom if you like
• To any leisure bottom, a blue denim jacket or shacket for effortless layering

With so many comfy fabrics to choose from, leisure wear suits all seasons. But, when the temperature drops, the best cozy pants are fleece joggers – pair them with fleece vests or jackets to stay extra snug.

How to take care of your leisure bottoms:

• Always read the care label on the inside of the garment first.
• Wash with similar colours.
• Use a mild detergent.
• To keep fleece soft, avoid using fabric softeners.
• Dry flat on a drying rack – keep brighter colours in the shade to prevent fading.

Women’s leisure bottoms are clothing made comfy for every body, from petites to women who choose plus size clothing. Finding the perfect fit is as simple as choosing a pair in the same size you’d normally wear in pants / plus size pants.

Because these casual pants generally come in a tapered leg or with a cuff, it’s easy to roll them up if you prefer to wear yours a little shorter. Because of the stretch in the waist, you can wear them lower on the hips for a slouchy look, too.
