The Sunday Sale: These Affordable Wellen Joggers from Huckberry Are Your New Weekend Go-To

It’s on a rainy Brooklyn Sunday that I come to you with the latest and greatest deal for your fall and winter wardrobe: A pair of go-anywhere, do-anything joggers that manage to get the job done in matters of style, utility and comfort aplenty.

And while I’m not as much of a gym rat as in my high school and college days, you could certainly find ways to wear the on-sale Wellen Wellknit Joggers for fitness pursuits aplenty as well as laidback weekend lounging — and at this current sale price, you’d be hard-pressed to let them pass you by, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday on the horizon.

Billed by Huckberry as “Wellen’s new radically soft performance sweats,” the Wellen Wellknit Joggers are marked down about 20 percent right now, just in time for cozy fall and winter weekends and perhaps even the odd Thanksgiving football game.

The brand’s proprietary four-way stretch fabric is quick-drying and anti-microbial, while the tapered fit is warm-up approved and plenty comfortable for, again laidback lounging (are you sensing a theme here?).

And since the Wellen Wellknit Joggers are part of the always-excellent Huckberry Sale section, it’s worth perusing the famed retailer’s other selections of durable, dependable gear — from whiskey decanters to leather-bound flasks to rugged flannel shirts and warmly knit beanie caps.

And like much of the rest of Huckberry’s gear picks, these stylish, sleek joggers are packed with plenty of bells and whistles — note the inclusion of five pockets, including two side pockets with inner stash pockets and a back zip pocket, all the better to haul your everyday carry essentials.

A drawcord waistband provides a secure fit on the go, while colors like Black, Navy and Natural Heather provide maximum versatility in and out of the gym — plus, throw in on a deal on the ever-useful Wellen Wellknit Joggers, and you very well might want to secure more than one pair. ‘Tis the season for cozy, effortless style and performance, and these joggers from our friends at Huckberry lead the way.

Editor’s note: Expect these posts weekly detailing one standout item coveted by yours truly. Sometimes, these fit within budgetary restrictions and other times, they’re expensive splurges worth saving for. For more Wish List items from Beau, head here, and to see other Style Picks, head here.

So in the span of about a week-and-half or so, it seems we’ve jumped from Labor Day style to the impending return of fall in our collective #menswear minds — right? That brings us to this week’s Style Pick — sweatpants. Not just any sweatpants, though. Apolis really is a remarkable company, one that does more than just put out excellent basics for every lifestyle. They’re committed to ethical practices and social responsibility in manufacturing– and that’s just the start. It should come as no surprise, then, that one of its newest releases is as fairly made as it is stylish. The Boiled Wool Sweatpant takes the typical college-esque silhouette and turns it into something you can feel comfortable wearing outside the house. That’s not the preference for everyone (and tapered sweatpants, or joggers, are certainly divisive), but if you’re going to wear sweatpants, they might as well be made from a premium alpaca fiber and wool blend and cut in a flattering silhouette. Of course, as with most Apolis products, you do pay a price for that quality and craftsmanship — that could be the breaking point for some folks, particularly when it comes to sweats. But that’s why these made the hypothetical Wish List, right?

Features like side-zip pockets make these feel a bit different than your ordinary sweatpant.

As to styling these sweatpants, they’re certainly cut in a trim enough way to mimic some casual get-ups you might wear with dark denim. Think a crewneck sweater and easygoing chambray shirt plus navy runners. Or, style them as a pair of joggers in this post — with leather sneakers and a lightweight military jacket. A vintage-inspired leather jacket and a simple crewneck tee could also look quite sharp. The  color options for this particular Apolis pair (navy or charcoal) are neutral enough that they you can push the envelope a bit more, but they’d probably look best with a laidback fall cardigan and a henley. And when it gets colder in the winter (for most of us, that is), they’d be a heck of a cozy option should you need to brave the elements at all. Quantities of this are limited, and that price could stretch some budgets, but for a pair of sweatpants, they’d be worth every dollar.

Would you consider taking the leap on these Apolis sweatpants? How would you style them?
