Hold the Hoodies—Fashion People Are Wearing Sweatpants With This Elevated Basic Instead

As we enter sweatpant season—which we can all agree is a thing—it's time to take stock of how we'll all be styling them this winter. Wearing sweatpants out in the world is a completely normal thing to do in our day and age, but there are ways you can go about making them look more polished and street-worthy. And Madelyn Cline just offered up one of them.

The actress was recently photographed wearing a pair of black ALO sweatpants with an item that instantly elevates the comfortable staple: an oversize blazer. Instead of an obvious choice such as a hoodie, Cline opted for a piece that added a bit more polish. And on this particular occasion, she completed the look with a baseball cap, black sneakers, and a Bottega Veneta Hop bag.

While there's been chatter lately of fitted blazers "replacing" oversize ones, I'm of the thinking that there's plenty of room for both styles to coexist in the fashion landscape, as they serve different purposes. And when it comes to which style to pair with sweatpants, oversize blazers take the cake.
