How to Style Sweats: 3 Tips from Our Style Panel
You might think sweats are reserved for weekends spent on the couch, but we suggest you add the plush, comfortable style to your wardrobe seven days a week (really!). Pair them with a button-down or a statement jacket for a look that will take you anywhere but the gym. Here are three stylish ways to wear them.
Question #171: How do you style sweats?

Sweatpants have always been an essential piece of my everyday look, but making them fashionable can be tricky. Choosing the right fit—not frumpy or baggy or messy—can be quite challenging. In order to give these comfy pants a stylish treatment, I opt for joggers and pair them with white heels, a bold turtleneck and a cropped wool jacket. The elasticized waistband and the relaxed fit keep everything easy, while the pumps and the jacket keep the look pulled together. This is a great way to embrace your casual look in a cool way, without compromising on comfort.

Because I dance six times a week, I do need to find a clever way to wear my sweats/workout gear in public—especially if I need to run errands. I adore these trouser-inspired pants from Lululemon. They make going to and from dance a breeze. I keep the look balanced by opting for the suede jacket, a linen oxford and cute polka-dot socks.

I love that the athleisure trend is still going strong and that I can wear comfortable clothing in a stylish way. These wool sweats from Ça Va de Soi are my all-time favourites for staying casual and chic. I wear them with heels and a crisp button-down to elevate the look.
