    Everyone has them ;)

    Also list whether you're short/tall and if they work for you height wise :)

     

    I have really liked the Gilly Hicks brand and they are long enough for my legs, I am 5'8 and all leg. Victoria's Secret PINK also work well, but I'm picky - I won't wear any that have words on the booty lol

    @miss-spunkin: I don't have any of their full-legth comfy pants, but I loooove the capri length sweats & yoga pants from Old Navy. I'm actually wearing them right now! I'm 5'7 and I get the 'petite' ones in the yoga capris, but in the sweats, I just get regular and they are a good length.

    Hm I think all my favorite ones come from Gap. I usually get them on clearance in random colors, but they are really comfy and fit well! And FI likes them because they make my "butt look niiiice." haha he HATES my sweatpants from college that are actual sweatpants that a guy would wear. These Gap ones are kinda a mix of sweatpants and stretchy pants. I'm 5'4 and the length always seems fine, if not a little long.. but I never wear them outta the house anyway so it doesn't matter.

    I love victoria secrets pink sweatpants, they're the only sweatpants I've bought that don't shrink after washing and dryiing them several times!!! all other sweatpants I've bought from other stores shrink (aeropostale, kohls, walmart, forever 21) pink sweatpants are the best! I need to get some new ones!

    @Nicoley1985: yeah, I don't like it when girls wear the guys sweatpants either... that's not what I envision when I think sweatpants either lol more like a lounge/yoga pant. 

    @pandaboo: I know, ME TOO!! I love sweatpants lol

    Love PINK, but generally I wear my cheerleading sweats from high school... or the ones that they gave us the leftovers from, like the football players. My favorite pair are a men's XL, haha

    I like the "champion" ones from target because they come in 3 different lenghts. I feel like most sweats are usually too highwater for me so it's nice to be able to get them longer.

    I love American Eagle or Aerie sweats. I just got two new pairs of sweat pants from American Eagle, and another pair of yoga pants. I love them b/c they come in lengths and I'm short.

    Love my Gap fleece ones. I have one pair from VS's PINK collection and they have the words down the side. I get smalls in each, since I'm pretty small and not very tall. (That sort of rhymed...)

    I love VS sweatpants, awesome fit, but I'd never wear them outside the house, not into the words across the butt, lol. But I LOVE GapBody yoga pants. I've been wearing mine like uniform these days at 40 weeks pregnant (so stretchy &low waisted my pre-pregnancy XS fits perfectly)

    OMG sweatpants look horrible on me. They are not made for me... BUT I finally found a great brand! Fila looks great on me. I have a small waist and wide hips, and they are so slimming. I am 5'5 but my inseam is usually about 30". These run maybe an inch long on me but I roll them up. I get the ones that are stretchy (totally hold you in) at Kohl's and you can use a coupon! Awesome!

    I LOVE gap's yoga pants. I buy the capri length ones for summer and the pants for winter. I can work in them, so I have a million pairs and wear them ALL the time. Of course SO doesn't mind because they "accentuate the butt" hahahaha

    I like Green Apple Active! It's a lesser-known brand, but they make yoga/fitness clothes that are SO comfortable and fit perfectly. I'm 5'8" and it's sometimes hard for me to find sweatpants that are long enough and also fit well, but this brand is perfect. I think I have 4 pairs of their pants.

    Plus, they are made with bamboo fiber so they're also a bit more eco-friendly than other brands.

    i dont have a favorite brand. Like anything else that goes on my lower body, i like something that doesn't make by butt look too big. and for sweat pants, i won't pay more like $20-$30. i have had good luck with Old Navy in the past though.

    i am surprised no one has said Lululemon so far.  People are obsessed with that store where i live.  Though i stepped foot in there on boxing day to see if the sale prices were reasonable, and then i stepped right back out after looking at a couple of price tags, lol.

    I still wear American Eagle lol.  Probably because I'm too cheap to buy some new ones.

    Victorias Secret or Juicy Couture(as long as they don't say "Juicy" on the butt..lol). I am a stay-at-home mom so I love sweats and yoga pants. Victorias Secret and Juicy are comfortable, well made and can be stylish!

    Right now, being pregnant, it's Mommylicious. I'm 5'8 so I had a hard time finding pants long enough, but these are perfect.

    @PurpleUnicorn: I was surprised by this too. I LOVE lululemon pants. I have a whole bunch of the crops and the pants. They are so comfortable, and they last FOREVER. Seriously. They do last longer than any other clothing. They are extremely expensive but SO WORTH IT!

    @PurpleUnicorn: I think it's because lululemon is Canadian and this board is a lot of Americans. I haven't actually worn any, but they're all over the place here too!

    I am one of those people that if I am wearing sweatpants, they are the big baggy kind with my uni's mascot written down the leg. :)

    @PurpleUnicorn: My sister and I went looking for an outlet in Buffalo. We couldn't find one and no one knew what we were talking about. We came home and googled it, that's how we found out.

    @chasesgirl: i think this year i finally forced myself to throw out my grey baggy sweat pants from college. they were over a decade old, had a hole burned from a cigaratte drop while driving years ago, and were so ugly now that i just couldn't even bring myself to wear them around the house in front of my husband!  my newest favorite pair are a bright blue i got at an outlet JC Penny for $3.99.

    Victoria's Secret gets all my votes.  I also don't wear the ones with words on the butt.  Not a fan :-)

    I am 5'0.

    My faves are all from Aerie. It doesn't hurt that I worked there a few years ago and got them all with my discount, and most of them were on sale also :-) There are two different "fits" that I have, one in three colors, and the other in like seven different colors/designs!

    @PurpleUnicorn: not loving Lululemon. too overpriced for what it is, and their yoga pants look crappy on me. I had a sport dress from them and it did not hold up well. I can buy American Eagle for about 1/4 of the price and they have held up for a few years (the pants).
