19 Chic Sweatpant Looks to Try This Fall
Sure, rolling out of bed and heading to the office in your loungewear probably didn’t make the best impression with your boss in the past, but thanks to designers like Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang that is all changing. It started with swapping out those five-inch heels with sneakers (albeit, fashion-forward and often expensive versions), and now, much to our delight, sweatpants are getting their deserved time in the spotlight. But let’s be clear, we’re not talking about those horrid gym class sweatpants that you tried so desperately to make cute. New tailored silhouettes and trendy prints are making this sporty staple appropriate for rest, work and play. Check out these 19 savvy street style stars, and get inspired to step it up with sweats!
