The world of office dress has changed since the pandemic, with many of us working in home offices, making the need for suits and ties lessen and the need for comfort increase. We've gone lightweight and soft when it comes to our wardrobes, lounging about in hoodies, boxers, lounge pants, and, of course, sweatpants. However, that isn't an excuse to exert the bare minimum and not put your best foot forward with improved casual wear styles.

The rise of athleisure and pioneering streetwear designers have streamlined sweatpants' baggy silhouettes -- without sacrificing comfort -- into bottoms that are stylish enough for the office, happy hour, and summer vacations. With that said, we put together some of the best pairs of sweats you should consider wearing right now.

The only thing missing is a pair of the best men's athletic sneakers.

Upgrade your style: These are the best men’s clothing stores on the internet

Let's face it, shopping is the last thing on most men's minds, even if we need something. While there are some things we will brave the traffic, parking, and crowds for, clothing is rarely one of those things. No matter how badly we need a new pair of jeans, a new pair of shoes, a suit, or underwear, going to a mall is near the top of the list of things most of us don't want to do to spend a weekend. Luckily for us, there are dozens and dozens of retailers that have developed online stores, and in some cases moved their operations completely online.

There are simple things every man can do to help in elevating his life. One of the easiest things to do is by starting with personal tangible goods and upgrading those personal items, especially the items you carry and use every day.

Money clips are handy since you only need to bring the essentials, easing the burden off your shoulders (more like your pockets).

Money clips are a huge upgrade from fat wallets. With wallets, you can carry anything and everything. On the other hand, money clips force you to bring only what you need and eliminate those things that add extra baggage (i.e., those stylist business cards you never seem to remember are even there).
