It’s almost 2022, and we’re still dressing nicely exclusively from the waist up. While some people opt for a pair of black leggings to coordinate with their nicest Zoom-ready tops, I tend to go for a pair of sweatpants—but only if they’re lined with fleece. The winter weather has settled in here in New York, so I rely on my favorite, coziest, sweats to keep me warm.
But it seems that a few of my most favorite pairs haven’t exactly been holding up so well due to the constant wear over the last 12 months.
