The most popular piece of clothing for most people since the lockdown has got to be sweatpants. Even after the lockdown, it’s hard for most people to let them go completely! But the good news is, this doesn’t have to be the case! Thanks to a few styling tricks, you can dress up your sweatpants. Here are a few tips and tricks to dress up your sweats so you can look like a style star!
It’s All in the Bag
The most effortless way of dressing up your sweats is by carrying a chic handbag. You can literally have an old pair of sweatpants on, but then change the look completely by carrying a super trendy bag. For this, you may want to look for a bag with a bit of pizzazz! For those of you preferring to shop online, check out sites like Mirta for example, and take a look at their handmade Italian bags that are super modern yet gorgeous. They say Italians do it better, especially when it comes to leather goods and fashion. Since you want to be comfortable (you are still in sweatpants, remember), try shopping for a mini backpack or crossbody bag for that extra easy breezy vibe.
Chunky chain
A chunky chain is also an easy way to dress up your sweats instantly. It can either be a necklace or a bracelet, in silver or gold. A necklace is always ideal because it attracts attention to your beautiful face and it gives you an edge. You can also put on a couple of slim necklaces to create that can accentuate the chunky chain and make you look street-cool. However, be careful not to overdo it. If you decide to do a necklace, you can opt-out of the bracelet and vice versa.
Wear a trench coat
You can also wear a trench coat over your sweats to dress them up! A trench will help you achieve that effortless elegance without having to try too hard. Think Londoner meets Copenhagen effortless, masculine vibes! However, be careful when choosing the color and the style of the trench coat. A classic taupe is always a good choice.
Heels or cute sandals
There isn’t an easier way to dress up than adding a bit of height with heels. Wearing heels with sweats is the most effortless way to transform them from regular sweats and into a classy and stylish look that you can wear to a bar, and many other occasions. If you are not a heels type of person or you are not into heels at a particular moment, you can also try a pair of cute sandals! They will effortlessly help you achieve a cute but casual look, like the Birkenstock inspired Chanel sandals you see many bloggers rocking with sweats!
Figure flattering bodysuit
You can always pair your sweats with a flattering bodysuit that showcases your stunning figure and gives you less of a gym look. Werk it hunny! The bodysuit will also help you feel confident and transform the casual look into a date-worthy and elegant look. You can also add a pair of heels to the outfit to make it elevated (literally).
Just because sweatpants are not the ideal piece of clothing for most events and activities doesn’t mean you have to forgo them! All you need to do is tweak how you wear them outside, and you are good to go. Because of the pandemic, you also have to wear a mask, which is the most essential accessory!
