These 5 Shoes Will Make Sweatpants Look All the Chicer
Our team has been fortunate enough to be working from home during the current self-quarantine period. As a result, we’ve been experimenting with a range of work-from-home 'fits. If there’s one staple we’re basically all wearing right now, it’s sweatpants—especially joggers.
While we covered a smattering of fashionable jogger-outfit ideas recently, we wanted to dive a bit deeper into the trend by zeroing in on the specific shoe silhouettes that can make sweatpants look even chicer. You know, in case you’re in need of inspiration for a cool WFH look or another sweats ensemble down the road. To highlight the shoes in question, we rounded up some of the freshest outfits fashion people have been wearing over the last few months.
Without further ado, keep scrolling to check out the best shoes to wear with sweatpants, and if you're shopping at the moment, shop the inspired outfits below, as well.
1. Old-School Sneakers
If there's one shoe-and-sweats combo that's trending hard in the fashion crowd, it's gray joggers and those old-school sneakers. Cool and fresh.
Shop the look:
2. Strappy Sandals
For a more unexpected and dressed-up choice, consider a pair of trendy strappy sandals. The trick is wrapping them around the actual bottom of the joggers for that forward vibe.
Shop the look:
3. Chunky Boots
Chunky boots feel particularly current with sweats this season. We'd suggest tucking your sweatpants into your boots to keep that 'fit on point.
Shop the look:
4. Ankle Boots
Have a favorite pair of ankle boots? Consider teaming them with your go-to sweats to keep your look polished and chic.
Shop the look:
5. White Sneakers
It's clear sneakers pair flawlessly with sweats (ahem, that first 'fit). If you want to try something other than the old-school kicks, go for classic white sneakers for a timeless look.
