We love wearing sweatpants in the fall and winter, both inside and outside the home. It’s easy to lounge in coords, but knowing how to dress in sweatpants and still look stylish is a bit of an art. Add tailored basics to contrast your sweats and make them feel more structured.
A pinstripe oversize blazer looks great with gray sweatpants, a sleek lace underlayer, and gray sweatpants. You can finish the look with a pair of heels, a chunky choker, and a mini-bag to be ready for an evening out. You can also go the preppy route by popping your collar from your button-down shirt out of under your sweatsuit and accessorizing it with Mary Janes and tortoise shades, as well as a pastel messenger handbag.
There are many other ways to style your sweatpants. We’ve listed our top 10 looks that you can pull off quickly. Browse through the street-style looks for inspiration and then find a pair of sweatpants that will fit in with any of them. The options are endless for a stylish sweatpants ensemble. From the dreamy sage cargo sweats to the tapered heather joggers that cost less than $30 and come in eight different colors, the possibilities seem limitless.
