There are SO Many Cute Ways To Style Sweatpants

These past few months, I think we all can agree that sweatpants have been our go-to pant of choice. Sweatpants are typically made out of a heavier cotton or fleece fabric to keep you feeling warm and cozy. They are SO versatile and there are endless cute ways to style sweat pants for lounging around the house, running errands, and even hitting up a local restaurant. 

The soft fleece fabric and the elastic waistbands just feel so good on the skin. In fact, I’m wearing sweatpants as I write this! Why mess around with constricting jeans at home when you can wear sweatpants with big enough pockets to fit your iPhone? 

The Cutest Ways To Style Sweatpants This Year

You’ve probably never gone outside of the house too often in your sweatpants (unless you are headed to the gym), but that’s all about to change. Sweatpants are being worn more and more often outside of the house and have really become a staple item, not just for your loungewear wardrobe. Only wearing sweatpants indoors while binging Netflix on Sunday afternoons has become a thing of the past. Sweatpants are now turning into super trendy outfits to wear while you are out and about. All of the latest street styles show that you can still look cute and sophisticated while out shopping or at lunch in sweatpants.

Now, I’m all for this trend – yay to being comfy outside of the house instead of wearing skinny jeans! Don’t worry though. You don’t have to be a supermodel or have a personal stylist to make this work for you. I’m going to show you just how to style your favorite, and comfiest part of sweatpants into cute, trendy outfits that you can rock almost anywhere.

Tip #1: Choose Slim Fit Sweats Over Baggy

To dress up your look to have a more put-together feel for leaving the house, choose a pair of sweatpants that are more slim fitting at the bottom. Although baggy sweatpants are definitely more comfortable, they are going to be more difficult to dress up. The slim-fitting style of the sweatpants will give the sleek look of skinny jeans but will be so much more comfortable!

Tip #2: Pair With A Stylish Jacket

Don’t think that you need to have a more casual top to match the look of the sweatpants. Having a dressier top over your sweatpants balances out the cozy vibe and gives the dressed-up feel. Try integrating your favorite denim or leather jacket into your sweatpants outfit. And see just how it changes the whole look!

Tip #3: Style Other Parts Of Your Look

If you don’t add any extra “oomph” to your sweatpant outfit, it’s going to look like you just rolled out of bed. To make the outfit look more put together, don’t forget that how you look everywhere else can really make the difference. Take the extra few minutes to fix your hair, your makeup, or add some sparkly jewelry. This will make the look be more intentional. And be more dressed up to wear it out of the house!

Tip #4: Wear With High Heels Instead of Sneaker or Flip Flops

The quickest way to dress up your favorite sweatpants is to add a sophisticated pair of high heels. This will instantly add style to your sweatpants outfit. And fromthere, you just need to pick a cute top and add jewelry! The best type of sweatpants to wear with high heels are slim fit at the ankle to really be able to show off your fabulous footwear.

Tip #5: Opt For a More Luxurious Fabric

Most of the sweatpants we own are probably basic cotton or fleece fabric. Next time you are out shopping, look around for sweats that are of more luxurious fabric such as velvet or velour. The rich-looking fabric will transform the outfit to be optimal for a night out and will be so unique!

Tip #6: Have A Matching Set

If you want to look really put together, buy a matching sweatpant set. Having a matching top and bottoms will make you look sophisticated and cute. If it’s too hot outside this summer to pair your sweats with a matching sweatshirt, take a cute tee or tank top of a matching color instead!
