How to Wear Sweatpants
Before you get all mad and think to yourself, “I know how to wear sweatpants, everyone knows how to wear sweatpants. They’re the easiest thing to wear and that’s kind of the whole appeal.” Listen—we hear you and we see you. You put your sweatpants on one leg at a time just like we do and that’s amazing.
This blog is more so for the people who are yearning to learn the secrets of how to style sweatpants, how to differentiate between different types of sweatpants, and most importantly, what to wear with sweatpants. It can get complicated, but that’s why we’re here. Let’s begin, shall we?
Types of Sweatpants
First of all, we’re gonna go ahead and state that we think sweatpants are any pants that are unstructured, cozy, and are worn in times of leisure (or exercise, if you’re into that). We have three options that fit that description, but don’t let that overwhelm you. Embrace it. Choices are exciting!
Lounge Pants
Ah, the Lounge Pant. A pant that is literally telling you exactly what it wants you to do: lounge, baby, lounge. Just like our Undies, these pants are made from our signature MicroModal fabric. That means they’re super-stretchy, soft, and almost impossibly cozy. Our no-roll, elastic waistband keeps these pants in place regardless of how much you flop all over your couch and the slightly tapered leg will keep that warmth flowing all the way to your ankles. They’re the ultimate relaxation pants for a reason.
Modal Joggers
Our Modal Joggers utilize the same genius design present in our Lounge Pants, but with elastic around the ankles to keep those pants legs snug to your ankles and a drawstring waistband to adjust sizing at your leisure. Other than that, you’ve got our classic MicroModal fabric and a very stylish silhouette that you definitely, absolutely do not need to jog in. Ever. Unless you want to, which is also cool.
French Terry Joggers
If you’re looking for a sweatpant that has a bit more weight and substance, look no further than our French Terry Joggers. WIth a similar design to our Modal Joggers, these pants are made from our French Terry fabric, which is a super-soft and sturdy blend of our MicroModal fabric and cotton. These are sweatpants that look (and feel) so good, there really isn’t an inappropriate time to wear them. Just maybe don’t wear them swimming. They’re really not meant for that.
How to Style Sweatpants
This is the fun part, because there are no rules. In the fashion world, sweatpants are fluid and thus exist on a spectrum. You can dress them up for a très-chic-yet-comfy look, or dress them down for an off-duty-celeb moment. Regardless of what direction you choose, you’re gonna be cozy. Isn’t that beautiful?
If you’re shopping our Lounge Pants or Modal Joggers, try expressing your innermost personality with our wide selection of wild and wonderful prints. Seriously, there’s truly something for everyone. If you aren’t into prints (even though power-clashing is back in style, look it up), we also have solid colors that can be paired with anything. There’s no excuse to be uncomfortable now.
Looking for a head-to-toe matching sweatsuit vibe? First of all, we need to hang out. Secondly, our French Terry Joggers have coordinating French Terry Crew Sweatshirts (or French Terry Zip Up Hoodies, if you’re a little moodier) for a complete look that will scream, “Not only am I comfy, I’m put together.” You deserve that respect.
What to Wear with Sweatpants
This portion of the blog might seem intimidating, as there are infinite things to wear with sweatpants. Where to begin? Well, the good news is, it’s hard to go wrong. Imagine your sweatpants as the base of your cake. Everything else is just decorative frosting.
If you want to dress up your sweaties, the quickest and easiest way is to throw a blazer on. Blazers are known to instantly elevate any look, sweatpants included. This is the route CEOs usually take and is known colloquially as a “sweatpants mullet.” Business up top, party down below.
Doing something more casual, like strolling around a park at golden hour for the perfect selfie? Try a more casual look, like a plain tee-shirt and slides, so people can focus on the beauty of your face in that light. No distractions!
You might be wondering what shoes to wear with sweatpants. Our first thought is sneakers, so you can give the impression that you might be exercising at any moment (even though you definitely won’t be). But why stop there? Why not throw on some high-heeled booties? Why not throw on a pair of our Cozy Socks for an extra dash of comfort? There’s already too many rules in this life we live. Be free.
Final Words
In conclusion, sweatpants are everything. They’re the first light of the morning, they’re the stars in the sky. There is simply no wrong way to wear them and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You’ll look great, but even more importantly, you’ll feel great. Isn’t that great?
