Comfort is key when it comes to fashion. That’s why we weren’t surprised when Justin Bieber wore sweats to his wife’s Rhode X Krispy Kreme launch event. Although he looked underdressed, there are amazing ideas you can incorporate to look dressy with sweatpants. With these five tips, you can stylishly and confidently rock your sweatpants to dinner or work.
Look more dressed up with jackets
Wearing a casual sweatshirt or hoodie over your sweatpants is a no-brainer, but it’s not a good option if you’re going to work or for an event. You should replace your sweatshirt with a chic jacket to look less casual.
Pair black sweatpants with a belted trench coat or a leather jacket to take your style up a notch. Alternatively, you could wear a casual denim jacket over your sweatpants for a more put-together look, and you’re good to go!
Swap Uggs for heels
Crocs and sneakers are the most common footwear people pair with sweatshirts. So it only makes sense to ditch them when going for a more stylish look. You have to go for something other than regular sneakers to elevate your look.
Pair your sweatpants with pumps or other high-heeled footwear to look dressy. Then, complete the far-from-casual look with a stylish top. However, you could opt for ankle boots if you’d prefer not to wear heels- your sweats will still look fancy.
Stand out with textured fabrics
Most of the sweatpants we see are usually made of cotton; in fact, the cotton fabric makes it easier to identify sweatpants. It follows that wearing sweatpants made with other fabrics except cotton is a sure way to look different.
We recommend silky sweatpants for taking you from 0 to 100. However, considering the colder temperatures in the fall season, you might want to keep your faux silk sweatpants for now. Velvet sweatpants are the next best choice- they are warm and stylish.
Accessorize your groufit
Using accessories is another way to take your grey sweats from casual to fancy. Don’t be afraid to rock that nice handbag with your sweats. How about jewelry?
You could wear a pair of statement earrings and a chunky watch to add some glam to your sweatpants. You could also layer necklaces over each other or wear a single exceptional piece. If you have rings, this is the perfect excuse to stack them.
Create a more polished look with your hair
To eradicate every appearance of the ‘lazy’ look that comes from wearing joggers, it’s vital to take note of other aspects of your overall look. Aside from incorporating accessories, you have to pay proper attention to your face and hair.
We recommend styling your hair when wearing sweatpants, as it creates a more ‘intentional’ look. Also, applying a bit of makeup, especially to your lips and eyes, helps you complete the chic sweatpants look. The difference it makes is always obvious.
