Are Sweatpants Allowed at Bars or the Office?
The push to bring streetwear into everyday life really began in the late 2000s and mid-2010s. When I founded my brand in 2011, I partnered with Champion Sportswear and put sweatpants down the runway with luxe formalwear. Now, a decade later, the trend continues, like my partnership with Champion.
How Can You Dress Up Sweatpants?
When dressing up in sweats, what you wear on top and on your feet is important. On top, add a third piece like a sport coat or suede trucker jacket. On the bottom, opt in for a classic loafer with a chunky sock. You may think sweatpants and formalwear should not mix, but they do... if done correctly.
What's the Best Way to Wear Sweatpants?
There really isn't just one best way to wear sweatpants today. If you have the right ones, they can pair perfectly with really just about anything. Throw on an oxford shirt and tweed sport coat, paired with a chunky sock and loafer for a more dressed-up look, or play it cool with the full sweatsuit styled with a pair of Converse and bomber jacket.
What to Avoid
If you are going to work sweatpants into your out-of-home wardrobe, look for three things: design, fit and quality. It's easy to spot when your sweats lack these and we want to make sure your sweats impress and look like you've worn them with intent. It’s best to avoid looking like you just rolled out a bed.
