Yes, You Can Boost Your Style With a Pair of Sweatpants
It’s no secret that the athleisure trend is everywhere right now. The fashion industry has fully embraced the trend, and its popularity probably has something to with its comfort factor. We’ve already covered the best athleisure brands and made the case for cool sneakers, but this time, we were curious to find out just how to make sweatpants look fashionable and cool.
Sweatpants don’t need to be reserved for a workout or your next Netflix binge—and celebrities prove it. They’ve shown us that the way to style them really comes down to adding pieces to your outfit that don’t belong in the gym. Gigi Hadid achieved this look by wearing hers with a structured white coat and cat-eye sunglasses. On the other hand, Kendall Jenner paired hers with a turtleneck top and crossbody bag.
