Jogging bottoms have long been considered, for the lack of a better word, scruffy. But of course, 2020 has meant track pants have had a banner year, thanks to plenty of us working from home and in need of comforting pieces to wear. The good news is that some of our favourite dressers have been championing the athleisure look for some time now, with genuinely chic ideas on how to wear the humble jogger. I've spent some time working out their formulas and there seems to be a common denominator: They've all opted for classic or neutral tones. Think black, navy, camel, cream and grey. A well-chosen coat and cool footwear also go a long way to making the humble jogger look impossibly refined, as does a gold chain necklace. Keep scrolling to see how to wear jogging bottoms like a fashion girl, then proceed to shop our favourite pairs below.
Style Notes: If there's one thing we know about making jogging bottoms look super elevated it's adding a pair of heels, especially if they're bright like these on Tiffany Hsu.
Style Notes: Not all joggers have to be tapered, even if there is an abundance of them around right now. Straight-leg versions are ideal for pairing with pieces you'd usually reserve for jeans, such as roll necks and smart jackets.
Style Notes: The grey joggers paired with a purple-y pink hoodie shouldn't work but thanks to the touches of green through the outfit, paired with the shoes, it works.
Style Notes: Jeanette pairs her grey jogging bottoms with a matching sweater and on-trend thick-tread boots.
Style Notes: Try tucking your joggers into a pair of fierce pointed-toe boots, à la Aimee Song.
Style Notes: Make jogging bottoms look premium by wearing them with a muted palette and smart tailoring.
Style Notes: Lauren takes the high-fashion approach, styling her jogging bottoms with a vinyl coat and white heels.
Style Notes: Spending time at home in a pair of joggers? Just add a great mani-pedi in a bright colour, such as Monikh.
Style Notes: Natasha proves that joggers look impossibly slick when paired with black separates and a black Prada bag.
Style Notes: Marie makes a case for the athleisure trend with her chunky metallic trainers and grey two-piece.
Style Notes: Pair your joggers with luxe borg textures for a premium feel, much like Christie.
