Trend Alert: Stylish sweat pants?

There was a thin line between casual chic and well…… sweat pants. Recently designers like L.A.M.B and Rag & Bone have erased the line by sending the weekend gym only attire down the runway as fashionable everyday wear (no yoga class required). I am not a big fan of this trend, and if done wrong can easily translate as: I don’t give a **** about what I’m wearing. Trust me it is easy to get this trend wrong, but if you are so inclined to wear this out, here are a few tips to keep you from looking like you rolled out of bed and just threw on the first pair of (expensive) sweat pants you saw.

  • Go fitted with your shirt or pair with a chic blazer
  • Heels –  heels make anything look on purpose, and your fashion sense is less likely to be questioned. Wearing athletic shoes quickly will turn your ensemble into gym wear
  • Glam up your accessories, and don’t be afraid to pair with  a belt as seen below
  • Pair with a fur, because apparently this is extra comfy, warm and acceptable. j/k

Tell me what do you think about this trend? Do Dump or Marry?

    I wouldnt wear this. No way, over my dead body! Not even if you give me 100K cash.

    I dont think such pants are very popular. It looks weird. But you are definitely right, if you must wear this pants, try more accessories. I think it only look good in Models.
