HOW TO STYLE: JOGGERS AND OVERSIZED SWEATS
There have been a few good things that have come out of 2020, and the fashion trends are at the top of our list.
We know what you’re thinking: how can anything good come from a year where we were forced to stay inside? Well, we’ll tell you. People were able to get creative with their time, looks, food, etc. We were able to slow down life for just a moment, without the worry of missing out on things. 2020 has been a year of many challenges but that doesn’t mean we can’t take some things we’ve learned and transition them into the new year. That extends to style, too, which has shifted as many of us are working, learning and socializing remotely, or in small groups.
Sweatpants used to be signified as a dress down clothing item. The things you’d throw on if you’re going to class, hitting up the gym, or just walking outside for the mail. Now, sweatpants are actually a fashion trend. Can you believe it? We are now seeing higher-end companies making sweatpants and joggers, and on-trend style mavens elevating a sweatpant or jogger look with new outfit ideas.
If you haven’t been paying attention, baggy sweats are now the thing. You can dress them up, dress them down, dress them however your heart desires, and to society, you will look put together.
Let’s talk about a few ways to style a pair of joggers or baggy sweats.
WITH A BLAZER
Not only are blazers gorgeous and so on-trend, but they can make a pair of sweatpants or joggers — or even leggings! — really pop. They had a chic and sophisticated look to the outfit allowing you to rock this look at work, in meetings, or even just running errands. Try pairing the Vegan Leather Downtown Blazer with a pair of joggers. The different types of materials will definitely have people doing a double-take.
A LONG SLEEVE
There is nothing we love more than being comfortable and trendy. Wearing a long sleeve and sweatpants? It doesn’t get more comfortable than that. To keep your figure, try wearing a cropped shirt with baggy sweats. That way, you still have that girly feminine look without feeling like you’re drowning in clothing. Piece together the Fitted Button-Down Cropped Cardigan for a polished look.
MATCHING SET
'Nothing says put together more than a matching set. We have gorgeous ones to choose from right now! The nice thing about wearing sets is relieving the stress that comes along with picking out an outfit. In the morning before work or school, throw on the Match Made in Heaven Sweatpants for a completed look in minutes, or check out all the amazing sets from Boys Lie, one of our favorite, bad-ass brands.
Fashion trends come and go, but we have a good feeling about sweatpants. Fashion can be comfortable too, and now, we can look appropriate, on-trend and powerful, all while staying comfy. What’s not to love?!
