Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are a few of the celebrities who take a break now and then to trade their head-to-toe designer look with a comfortable pair of joggers. Joggers, like leggings, spell comfort and style for non-complicated casual clothing. Wearing them is liberating.
But before slipping into one, let's get to know what are modal joggers and how to style them.
What are modal joggers?
Sweatpants and joggers can be mixed up easily.
Joggers, cut from slightly lighter fabric, often have a tapered cut, giving them a more polished look compared to sweatpants. Many top brands embraced comfort wear during the pandemic, leading to some excellent women's joggers and sweatpants. In contrast to sweatpants, joggers can be dressed up easily with a t-shirt and a blazer or used for a jog around the neighborhood.
Throughout the years, the fabric used in making them has also evolved. Nowadays, we have what we call modal fabric which is also used to make joggers.
Trivia: Émile Camuset, the founder of Le Coq Sportif, invented the jogger in 1920.
What is modal fabric?
Modal fabric, made from beech tree pulp, is used for clothing and bed sheets, known for its softness and flexibility but comes at a higher cost than cotton or viscose.
Originally developed in Japan in the 1950s, modal is mainly produced by Austrian company Lenzing AG, with variations like Lenzing Modal and MicroModal, offering even finer and softer options.
Modal fabric is bio-based, created from beech tree cellulose, and is eco-friendly due to minimal water use. Although it's plant-derived, the process involves chemicals, making modal a semi-synthetic type of rayon known for its durability and cotton-like softness.

Why go for clothes in modal fabric?
Modal fabric offers several benefits.
It's stretchy, making it great for t-shirts and athletic wear. Its softness is often preferred in making bed sheets, pajamas, and undergarments.
It lets the skin breathe without compromising its durability. It drapes well on just about any body type. Moreover, it doesn't pill and maintains its color and shape even after several washes. And say goodbye to ironing because it doesn't crease.
But more importantly, it's biodegradable, so it's an environment-friendly and sustainable material for our planet.
