To wear these sweatpants, simply pull them on like any other pair of pants. The adjustable drawstring at the high - rise waist allows you to customize the fit. For maintenance, always wash them inside out on a gentle setting and at a low temperature. This will help keep the fabric in good condition and prevent excessive wear. Keep in mind that because the pants are brushed to be soft, you may notice some yarn shedding. This is normal and won't affect the overall quality of the product.
