Sweatpants chic: Your style guide
Sweatpants were once only worn while sleeping or just hanging out at home. However, this is not the case now due to the rising popularity of athleisure apparel and our work-from-home pandemic days. Currently, sweats and joggers are acceptable everyday attire. All you have to do is add some accessories or dress up and you are ready to explore the day.
Choose fitted sweatpants
Selecting the appropriate pair of sweats to wear outside is the first step in styling your sweats. While wearing baggy or fleece sweatpants around the house may be comfortable, doing so outside can make you seem too casual. Instead, select a pair of sweatpants with a fitted waist and thighs or joggers with an ankle that is tapered.
Style a sheer top with your sweatpants
Get over the comfy vibe and add a sexy twist to your sweatpants by pairing it with a sheer blouse over a strappy bra. Another alternative is to pair it with a sports bra. Fitted sweatpants would always be the best choice for this combination. Complete the look with sneakers. For a fancier option, go for ankle-length boots.
Add a trendy coat or a blazer
When going out during the winter, rather than opting for a sweater, combine your sweatpants with a blazer or coat to instantly make them look more put together. You can also consider a leather jacket, a belted trench, or a denim jacket for a casual vibe. These jackets will make the sweatpants look more put-together as well as keep you warm and comfortable.
Get printed sweats
Put on your best clothing for the outer world. Printed sweats are the best way to avoid the sloppy look you otherwise get in sweats. Get a cropped printed jacket that is in the same color family as your printed sweatpants rather than reaching for the basic colored ones. Tie-dyes or checked prints are some options that always work.
Dress up
Your outfit can significantly change based on how you look when trying to dress up. If your hair is in a sloppy bun or loose ponytail, it gives away a more relaxed look. However, if your hair is better styled, the remainder of your outfit may appear more elegant and deliberate. Similarly accessorize your look with bracelets, statement watches, simple neck chains, etc.
