There's no doubt about it, joggers have increased in popularity over the past few years. And it's easy to see why; equal parts comfortable and cool, they're a clear choice if you want your outfit to feel relaxed and fuss-free. Much like many trends that have emerged lately—where bigger proportions and looser silhouettes have been winning out over body-skimming shapes—athleisure has been growing more relaxed and wide-legged with tracksuit silhouettes often replacing formfitting leggings.
So what are the best ways to wear sweatpant-centric outfits? Taking some notes from fashion insiders, there are plenty of chic ways to style them that prove this loungewear staple isn't just for at-home dressing. Whether worn with structured blazers and trainers, or chunky knits and combat boots, this comfy basic is worth your attention.
Scroll on to get inspiration for cool ways to wear sweatpants outfits right now, and shop the laid-back looks below.
1. Matching Set + Trainers
Style Notes: This put-together look is all the proof I need to know that a matching set is one of the easiest (and most stylish) ways to pull off sweatpants.

So cosy.
I love the tapered shape.
These would also look so cool with jeans and an oversized jumper.

These might seem expensive for H&M, but you won't find a softer fabric than cashmere.
I think I've found the perfect combat boots.
3. Blazer + Tapered Joggers + Mules

Fluffy knitwear is going to be everywhere in 2023.
These will double as comfy workout trousers.
5. Trench Coat + Black Sweats + Converse
