The braided drawstring waist is where these baggy sweatpants earn their keep: a hand-finished detail that anchors a full, wide leg cut without the flat-cord look everyone else runs. Omygoods builds the pair on a cotton-heavy blend with adjustable ankle cords, so the volume up top tapers exactly how you want it down low. This is baggy sweatpants streetwear with intent, not just extra fabric.
Braided Waist And Ankle Cord Build
Fabric: 70% cotton, 30% polyester with a substantial, broken-in hand
Fit: baggy wide leg through the thigh and calf
Waist: braided drawstring for a secure, tactile cinch
Adjustable ankle cords to close off or open up the hem
Working The Wide Leg Volume
Volume runs full through the thigh and calf, with the braided waist and cords controlling the shape rather than the seams. Cinch the hems tight and let the fabric pool over high tops, keeping the top half close in a ribbed crewneck. For a longer line, open the ankle cords and run them over skate shoes under a cropped bomber.
