Sweatpants, let's do it!

New York is freezing this week, and I'm loving this cozy outfit, which manages to make sweatpants look cool. (Who knew?) J. Crew has some similar knit pants which look super soft and lounge-y.

Hope you're staying warm today! xo

  29. Every sweatpants lover out there needs to take note. One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing people with slouchy University sweat pants in Uggs.
    This look is great!

  33. My friend has the most magical pair of sweat pants that look like dress pants when you wear them with nice shoes and you cover the top of them with a long sweater...you seriously can't tell the difference unless you touch them

    ReplyDelete
  34. Especially after a long day, all you want is to be comfortable!

  36. It takes skill for sweats to not look frumpy. Nice to see J. Crew offering some "nice" sweats!

  37. I keep seeing these and I love the look, but I doubt I'd be able to pull the trend off so successfully. There is such a think line between cozy and frumpy...

    Only at home, said the cranky lady in DC freezing her rear off (I wish it really did freeze it off:) Seriously, these only look good on people w/a certain shape. Think about it. But at home - absolutely.

    Cheers.

  49. i've been saying for weeks that all i want are sweatpants that don't look like sweatpants. maybe it's all about the pairing!

  50. I've got a pair just like these, and I've worn them to pieces! They're great for cold weather.

  51. boston too. fricking cold. i hate it.

  52. I'm a huge fan of cool slouchy sweats! My fav pair is from Jules Power which are a bit loose around the hips and fitted in the leg. Not only do I wear them kicking around the house but I wear them out with lace up booties!

  53. The cardigan and sheer blouse is divine! The outfit looks very cozy. x

  54. Lately I have really enjoyed the look of an oversized sweatshirt and jeans with some sneakers.

  55. I would totally wear this!

  56. I don't like this kind of "hidden" commercial for that you do for J Crew, as lovely as their clothes are.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Funny. This is almost the opposite of your posts on dressing like a French woman... but I'm not knocking sweats. Sometimes comfort trumps fashion. Sometimes sweats can look good. On me? Almost never.

    ReplyDelete
  58. i was just talking to a friend yesterday over coffee - how we both admitted to stepping out to pick up something from the store in our sweats - hehe - maybe these would help!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Perhaps these could replace my favorite Lucy Brand Big Sweatpants :)

  60. LuluLemon sweat pants are the. best.

    Don't bag out on you. Back inside pocket. Draw strings at the ankle to turn them into harem pants (you know. to keep the hems out of the snow.)

  61. I live in NY too. I was planning to go swimming this weekend at the public indoor pool. Instead, I spent my time in my leggings and swimming in giant sweatshirts.

  62. Great read. Thank you for showing an example of how you may incorporate a pair of sweat pants into an outfit that make them look cool.
