Figure out ways what shoes to wear with sweat pants? Scroll down for a host of ideas and inspirations and have fun!
How to Wear Sweatpants
Before we get started, let’s look at some quick and easy styling tips to keep in mind when styling sweatpants.
- Opt for fitted sweatpants or joggers. If you are going for a chic and stylish look, then baggy sweatpants probably won’t make the cut. (Except on rare occasions. See outfits below for examples.)
- Be mindful of footwear. Avoid Crocs or flip-flops. Heels, booties, and little sneakers are your best options.
- Choose accessories. Rocking sweatpants in daily wear (outside of your home or gym, that is) is a pretty bold move. With most of the outfits we are going to show you, the accessories you will see are sunglasses, scarves, or, sometimes, a simple necklace. Keep your overall vision in mind when choosing pieces that complement your outfit.
- Try out different kinds of sweatpants. Maybe you find that the most flattering sweatpants for your legs and figure are slightly loose joggers. Maybe you find that a baggier version works better for you. You can also take it to a new level and try sweatpants that are made of silk or vinyl.
- Add a coat or blazer for instant style.
- Go monochrome. A monochrome or matching hoodie and sweatpants combo is always chic and is an easy way to pull together an outfit without too much guesswork.
