Tapered sweatpants called "jogger pants" are one of the hottest new trends in menswear, according to industry experts.

The legs of the sweatpants, which feature elastic at the feet, are designed to fall just above the ankle.

Unlike sweatpants of the past, their primary utility isn't in jogging, but in showing off expensive basketball shoes, writes Sara Germano for the Wall Street Journal.

"They’re the hottest trend in bottoms in men’s," SportsOneSource analyst Matt Powell told the Journal.

According to men's site Complex.com, "The pants have not only become synonymous with sneaker culture, but it's also found its way into its boutiques."
