I picked three pairs of jogger pants that are easy to throw on for a night walk or outdoor workout: Centaur's CENTAUR EMBLEM SWEATPANTS_BLACK in a sturdy fabric with embroidery details, THREE TO EIGHTY's URBAN WIDE JOGGER PANTS M.GREY with a roomy fit that lets your legs move easily, and AMOMENTO's VELVET JOGGER PANTS that fall with a soft touch. Jogger pants have the advantage of tightening around the ankles so the hems don't drag on the ground when you walk on night paths. Lately in the catalog, you can clearly see a trend of breaking down the boundaries between loungewear or workout wear and freely mixing them with everyday clothes.
Seeing the word walk brings to mind an anecdote about the philosopher Kant. Kant, who barely left his hometown of Königsberg all his life, considered maintaining his health a duty and went out for a walk every day at a set time, fully dressed in a hat and suit. He was so punctual that residents set their clocks by watching him pass by with his steady stride, and it is said he skipped his walk and stayed home just 2 times: the day he was deeply absorbed in Rousseau's book Emile, and the day he anxiously waited for a newspaper carrying news of the French Revolution.
Even if we can't walk like Kant every day, a single pair of comfortable pants makes your steps much lighter when heading out into the night. Which condition among the three picked out would you like to narrow down by first? Just pick whether to look under KRW 100,000, look for 100% cotton or an adjustable hem drawstring, or filter down to just neat black. I don't yet have the uncanny talent to read your mind in an instant.
↳ Under KRW 100,000
They are THREE TO EIGHTY's DUAL-SURFACE CORDUROY PANTS BLACK and URBAN WIDE JOGGER PANTS M.GREY, and Centaur's CENTAUR EMBLEM SWEATPANTS_BLACK and CENTAUR UNIVERSE SWEATPANTS_GREEN. Lately, as the boundary between inside and outside the home blurs, the catalog leans heavily toward easy pants that bring out material texture or add calm shades.
Melange, derived from the French word mélange meaning mixed, is a technique where parts of raw cotton are dyed in different shades and blended before spinning into yarn. By elaborately mixing white cotton and black-dyed cotton and twisting them into yarn, a subtle, dimensional gray that looks frosted with frost is created. Besides carrying a deep texture that single-color dyeing cannot produce, this method also cuts water usage and wastewater by about half because only the needed amount is dyed at the cotton stage before spinning.
Such dimensional gray jogger pants are stylish, but options that instantly transform the mood—like corduroy-textured black or vivid green—are also solidly packed in the catalog. Shall we narrow things down to what fits your taste better? Which condition would you like to start with among 100% cotton, thick fleece, or an adjustable hem drawstring?
↳ In 100% cotton
I picked three sweatpants knitted from 100% cotton: Centaur's CENTAUR EMBLEM SWEATPANTS_BLACK and SIDE LINE WIDE SWEATPANTS_BLACK, and LOW CLASSIC's Lc Soft Sweatpants_Charcoal. Comfortable cotton sweats were originally clothes for cooling off sweat on the sports field, but these days they have claimed a spot as outerwear by opening up roomy silhouettes or toning down colors calmly.
The color name charcoal comes from charcoal, humanity's very first drawing tool. Tens of thousands of years ago, when Paleolithic people carved wild horses into the Lascaux cave walls, using charred wood as a pigment marked the start of this deep, calm shade of gray. Thanks to its quality of smudging softly when rubbed, it became established by the Renaissance era under Da Vinci and Michelangelo as the backbone of figurative art for studying light and darkness.
From a muted charcoal that looks like charcoal powder rubbed on drawing paper to a clear black, I've filled the selection with pieces that fully bring out the texture of the material. Would you prefer a jogger style with ankle bands, or would you like to take a further look at wide fits that drape breezily or non-neutral colors?
