Skin-tight stretch is out — time to ditch the stretchy leggings and embrace new finds for athleisure wear. I’m always on the hunt for alternatives to yoga pants. They’re my go-to for hot yoga days, but not always best for running errands or neighborhood walks.If it’s been the season of cheese for you, like it has been for me, or if you’re dutifully falling in line with Gen Z’s war on yoga pants, then these athleisure wear options for women have a bit more give and are super cute. I’ve based this roundup on user and quality reviews, and included some of my own personal favorite sweatpants and athletic pants that aren’t skin-tight.Old Navy, Old NavyThese majorly on-sale sweatpants from the men's section of Old NavyThese heavyweight baggy jogger sweatpants are the perfect blend of mostly cotton and fleece, and the three neutral colors are on trend. I randomly snagged this pair of men's sweatpants in small (and will be ordering the XS next too). They're are comfortable and look well-made enough that you can wear them out for errands with a sweatshirt and jacket and not feel shabby. I easily roll the bottom of mine (I'm 5'4 and usually wear a medium in pants), but they don't look overly baggy or too long on my frame. The pants are on sale right now for half off — it's the best $25 you'll spend all year. Promising review: "It is so refreshing to see a product made with 80% cotton, that is heavyweight and that hopefully will last a long time. I was extremely pleased with the construction, materials , and quality of these sweats, as the men in my family are actually hard on their clothes and need heavy duty clothes, which in today's unfortunate world of plastic and disposable clothes, are hard to find!! Please keep up the good work Old Navy! We don't want to wear plastic." — anonymousAmazonA Free People-lookalike available at AmazonThese athleisure pants on Amazon are one of the coveted alternatives for the pricier Free People brand. The baggy wide leg track pants with a wide waistband (for a bit of extra support) and drawstring come well-reviewed with 4.2 stars on Amazon. Reviewers are pleased with the quality of the fabric and sizing, which ranges from S-XL. The pants also come in an array of colors from apricot to purple, camel (pictured here) and many more choices. Promising review: "These are a dupe to a very expensive brand, Free People! I love the thick band with the drawstring, the wind breaker material, the two tone color! The cut at the bottom around the ankle! These pants can be worn all year long! I can’t wait to pair it with a basic black tank, and some sandals!" — dandypaigeAthletaA comfortable pair reviewers raved about for post-op careThese coaster luxe high rise joggers from Athleta are all about casual lounging, with an emphasis on comfort. They're well-reviewed with a high waist and trendy style and can be worn in cooler weather. There are several colors, and some are on sale for $60 right now. Many reviewers raved about the softness of these pants, and that they use them for post-operation recovery lounging, but also that they're cute enough to run around town in. Find them in sizes XXS-3X, with tall and petite options also available. Promising review: "These are the most comfortable sweatpants I own. My MIL bought them for me postpartum and I've worn them whenever they are clean. I love them so much. They are warmer than leggings and very stretchy for postpartum now. I bought a second pair so I don't have to go without when they are in the wash!" — Gabrielle OWalmart, WalmartAnother stellar Walmart find with multiple matching topsAnother find by a professional shopper and stylist, these Walmart scubaknit barrel pants have over 800 reviews and 4.1 stars come in a range of colors from black to mushroom and more, and have several matching tops in the same scubaknit material, like this zip-neck sweatshirt and the more classic sweatshirt pull-over. You can dress these up with a cute pair of flats, or keep it more athletic and add sneakers. There machine-washable and have a relaxed fit with a mid-rise waist. Promising Review: "First off, I love this line by Scoop. Scuba knit is so soft and comfortable. I have about 6 pieces with both pants and shirts and I really love them all. I usually do not like any bottom pants that are the barrel style, but I ordered these and do not regret it. Cute style. Has drawstring at waist. Deep front pockets. Back pockets. Elastic bottom of legs. Perfect for lounging or running errands I definitely recommend! For reference I am 5'7”, 128 pounds and usually a size 4 or 6. I ordered size small and they fit great. Not too tight around the waist and roomy around the legs. The pants length hits me right at the top of my ankle. I do have long legs. I have washed and dried on low. No shrinking for me or for any of the other pants by this line. Go get yourself some now! You will love them!" — WalmartCustomerLululemonAn actually affordable pair of pants from LululemonThese Lululemon dance studio mid-rise joggers from the line that made leggings, well everywhere, are on sale right now from $49 to $59, depending on selected color. Say what you want about the brand that dominates yoga-studios and school car-rider pickups, Lululemon tends to make a long-lasting and good looking pair of pants. And these joggers are an absolute steal at $49. They come in so many colors, have a ruching effect down the leg, a supportive wide waist band and Lululemon's higher quality material that actually breathes and doesn't become see-through when you bend. Reviewers that want a baggy look size up, and most are happy with the length, which you can buy in lengths in 25, 29 or 32 inches. Promising review: "Absolutely love. Why did I hold out so long? Not typically a jogger kind of gal but these pants are fabulous. I have long legs and these fit fabulously. I did size up because I wanted a loose slouchy feel and wanted them loose around the ankle. They fit perfectly! Will def purchase more!" — Lolo LoloAmazonThis Spanx-like lounge set from a beloved Amazon brandAnother diamond in the vast Amazon rough, this two-piece Anrabess set isn't quite Spanx quality, but it's earned 4.3 stars across more than 7,000 reviews and has been compared to Spanx by satisfied reviewers. The wide leg lounge set comes in several colors (although some reviewers did warn the blue isn't quite the same quality as the others) and is machine washable, but it's best if you can hand wash it cold and air dry. The top is an oversized half-zip with long sleeves and the pants have a high waist, so you can bend down without fear and a drawstring wide leg. You can find the set in sizes XS-XXL.Promising review: "I love these 2 piece outfit. They are very comfortable, soft, stretchy and pretty. I'm 5'3 165lbs. I purchased mediums in the green and brown. Nice fit and length. I did return the lake blue because it was a little too long and material felt a little thinner than the other two. I'm going to order one more color. I recommend you give it a try." — TuscanylpGapLined barrel-leg athletic pants you can wear to dinner or for a brisk walkFrom Gap's athletic wear line, GapFit, these lined barrel fit pants are an amazing find that's super on trend and flattering for on-the-go adventures. On sale right now for $63, reviewers laud the shape of the pants and the lining. The barrel leg isn't for everyone, but on the right shapes it accentuates your form, without feeling too constricting (HuffPost senior shopping writer Lourdes Uribe is a fan). And even though they feel like athletic pants, they come with pockets and a trouser-like zipper and belt loops for a more polished appearance. Reviews point out these pants are on the slightly bigger side, so you might want to size down when you're choosing between XXS-XXL (tall and petite sizing also available). Promising review: "I'm pretty fit, but my shape is very 3D, or hourglass - so I thought these were going to be a big miss. I had no interest in barrel leg pants, but "lined" sold me. This is the most flattering pair of pants I may have ever owned. And I got them on sale. They are super comfortable, and will go with everything. Score all around. Maybe they'll restock and you'll be able to get a pair too." — Erin M. WalmartSpring forward with this daisy detailing and matching sweatshirt find from WalmartI am in love with this set from Walmart. Made by the FreeAssembly line sold in the mega-retailer, the embroidered daisies in the navy or white sweatpants and matching sweatshirt look like something you might find at Madewell or Nordstroms, but it's one of those rare amazing finds at Walmart. I found this set after following retailcheapskate and plan on buying the pants and sweatshirt in dark orchid flower (blue) and in the ivory color. Reviews say to size up in the sweatshirt, but not in the pants. It has a french terry feel, but without the usual higher cost and that the pants are very cosy. The pants have a slight crop to them. Promising Review: "I went crazy for this, because it reminds me so much of Madewell. French terry feel. So cute." — retailcheapskateNordstromSome chic Peloton pants for spin class and morePeloton makes more than just high-end torture devices, I mean spin bikes — they also make clothing to get you from that high intensity class to the store. You might still have a bit of sheen on you if you spin first and shop later, but these pants have an easy and effortless look to them that doesn't feel overtly for just exercise. And right now these Peloton Dreamblend classic joggers are on sale from $44 to $74 depending on color. They're slightly cropped, so if you want a baggier and longer fit size up. Promising review: "I love these sweatpants, so comfy!" — MarkFaleece
