There’s John Elliott, whose Escobar sweats are an unofficial founding father to the designer sweatpants trend, and there are also the truly top-dollar designs of Givenchy, Maison Margiela, and even Yeezy Season 1 -still sweatpants, just at prices that reach eight, nine, or even 10 times higher than that trusty pair of Tech Fleece sweatpants you wear around the house. While true athletics-oriented companies like adidas and Nike have dominated the market due to excellent quality for price, that hasn’t stopped designer brands from getting their own slice of the action.

Upscale sweatpants have become such prevalent rungs on the #menswear ladder that they’re almost as ubiquitous as denim at this point. We’re not telling you what to wear, we’re just here to show you what’s been popping. From the deluge of skate-focused brands making waves in high-fashion boutiques, to the red carpet ‘fits from our favorite award shows, the year would not have been as stylish as it was without these clothes and the people who wore them.
The top trends of this past year -as dictated by the influence of celebrities, cool kids or designers themselves- have directly affected what we’re seeing on store shelves now and what will be there in the the near future.

A label can have all the money and power in the world, but if they’re not catering to what the people want, they’re simply going to be left in the dust.
