If you're having trouble visualizing this trending pant, celebrity stylist Brenda Cooper breaks it down for us. "A combination of not quite a jean and not quite a sweatpant, they are the perfect blend of comfort and style," she shares. "I think of them as denim's undercover cousin!"As she explains, what makes sweatpant jeans different than traditional jeans is the fabric. A traditional pair of jeans has a stiffer, heavier feel. "Sweatpant jeans are the same color and look of jeans, but they are a 'knit' because they are made from soft, stretchy knitted fabric like your favorite sweatpants," she continues. "The difference is, they're not real denim—they are dyed and stitched to look like real denim." This style offers the ease of loungewear but with the upgraded appearance of jeans, making them perfect for traveling, running errands or when you want to look chic but secretly feel more comfortable.Related: These Are the Best Shoes To Wear With Baggy Jeans, a Celebrity Stylist Reveals
