Even before working from home became my new normal, I had a comfort-first mentality. My former uniform of flowy dresses and black tights was less an attempt to look put together and more so a sneaky way of achieving the office-friendly version of not wearing real pants.

With that expectation out the door in the time since, my already expansive collection of leisurewear has doubled. And even though I'm historically a leggings kind of person, my go-to pair got pushed to the side when these ridiculously soft joggers made their way into my life.

To buy: $84; vuoriclothing.com.

Breaking up with my leggings wasn't something I expected to happen, but I guess that's the way these things go. As soon as I felt the best-seller's material on my actual body and not just in my hands as I stood in the store debating the $84 price tag of sweatpants, I understood all the hype I'd heard from friends, the internet, and fellow shopping editors alike. Spoiler: They're worth it.

You may have heard a fabric described as being "soft as butter" before, but I have to argue that other leggings and sweats simply aren't in the same league as Vuori's. The joggers are soft to the touch, moisture-wicking and breathable. I recently traveled in them, and it was the most comfortable I've felt on a plane.

As for the fit, the joggers have a cropped leg and slim design, making them ideal for pairing with sneakers, boots, or sandals. They feature a drawstring tie at the mid-rise waist, so you can adjust them for a more snug fit, and the elastic waistband is comfortable enough for hours of wear.

The joggers also have pockets that can actually hold the weight of a phone without sliding down — which I've found to be a surprisingly difficult thing to ask of most joggers and sweatpants. I've been wearing them on repeat, and am already trying to narrow down which of the colors I should get next to expand my collection.

If you must wear pants, why not make sure they're the comfiest pants possible? Do yourself a favor and add these dreamy joggers to your life.
