How to Wear Sweatpants in Public

Granny Inspired

Try on an oversized granny sweater in a bold print with basic colors to build a look that's breezy and refined. Slip into your sweats, add a polished pair of oxfords, and tote an understated black leather bag for a look that is comfy yet chic.

Cozy Countryside

Comfort aside, sweats have suddenly emerged as a fashion do. However, there are rules to follow. We snagged a couple of pairs of Fruit of the Loom men's fleece sweatpants in black and gray ($6 each at Walmart.com), and uncovered the fabulous ways of wearing sweatpants in public. Here's how...

Swap jodhpurs for dark sweats, and no one will be the wiser. With a bright, fitted top and floppy wool hat, you're set for a comfortable (yet chic) visit to the countryside.

Sophisticated in Sweats

Feel relaxed and look chic by pairing soft gray sweats with a wide-neck T-shirt, your favorite blazer and structured ankle boots. Add a few stylish accessories, like a fedora or classic shoulder bag to pull it all together.

Deceptively Chic

Dress down in black sweatpants then dress it up with a tight black T-shirt, statement necklace and bright, bold pumps. You'll feel comfortable but look ready to walk to runway.

A Little Old School

Add pep to your prep with a striped cardigan, baggy sweatpants and bright red Chuck Taylors. This outfit will take you from country club to casual lunch date, no sweat.

Laidback Snow Bunny

Layer sweatpants on top of winter tights to curb the chill. Then pair them with a cute patterned sweater, oversized gloves, cozy hat, and a pair of sleek boots with heels for a look that's as warm as it is cool.

Dainty Details

Sweat suits hit their peak in the 1970s but you can give them a romantic 1870s feel with lace-up boots, delicate chains, and a velvet blazer. Add a veiled cloche for an even more vintage feel.

Loud and Proud

It doesn't always have to be about wearing your sweats in disguise. Let 'em take center stage with the street-classic construction of a hoodie, a vest, and hightop sneakers.

Sweats in High Society

Fleecy black sweats and a sophisticated sweater blend together while a chunky scarf in a light, neutral tone helps brighten your complexion. The look is snug and refined.

Warm Up, Girl

Ballerinas look so elegant in their layers of soft, drapey fabrics. Steal their style by putting together thick leg warmers, a pastel sweater and the perfect undone bun.

Happy Shopping :)
