Learning how to style sweatpants properly can mean the difference between looking blah and turning heads this fall. It’s really not that tough to bring some intentionality to your sweats—it just takes an extra moment or two before you head out for your errands run or morning coffee. The secret? Mastering the high-low mix.
Sweatpants are, obviously, both low-key and ubiquitous. Making them look elevated, then, means veering off the beaten path a bit. Throwing on a pair of penny loafers or ballet flats, for example, makes way more of a fashion statement than your everyday sneakers. The same principle applies to other high-end fall capsule staples, like slouchy leather totes, dramatic wool coats, and tailored blazers. But that’s not to say you have to raid your work wardrobe to figure out how to style sweatpants well—and we have seven smart outfit ideas below to prove it.
