What to Wear With Sweatpants for Stylish Girlies (2025)
Why I'm In My Sweatpants Era
As a work from home mom, being in a pair of sweatpants is second nature to me at this point! I love the versatility of sweatpants and how they’ve become a style staple, especially post pandemic and well into 2025. I created this sweatpants styling guide to cover numerous ways to elevate a pair of sweatpants to fit in any setting and occasion.
Sweatpants are the cool thing from the street style looks you see on Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid, to the mom at school drop off, to the Gen Z-er grabbing a quick coffee with friends. I love finding the perfect outfit for different occasions that can be comfy and chic!
1. Classic Casual Look with White Sneakers and Graphic Tee
Here I am pairing a pair of sweats or baggy sweatpants with white sneakers and a graphic tee for an effortless casual outfit.
When it comes to achieving the right baggy fit and a relaxed vibe for maximum comfort and style, you need to make sure you add some elements that elevate the outfit like chunky jewelry and trendy sneakers. I love this look for casual days when you want to be comfy but also look put together.
2. A Monochrome Moment with a Matching Sweatshirt
If you love the quiet luxury / old money fashion trend then a matching set is for you. I love the move towards more baggy sweats and even sweatshirts for this vibe. These grey sweatpants paired with a coordinating sweater and adding in multiple shades of grey to the look make it feel purposeful and chic.
3. Sporty Vibes with a Cardigan and Baseball Cap
I loved creating this sporty look with track pants, a cardigan and a trendy baseball cap. It's feeling very "cool girl" aesthetic and plus it's insanely comfy too.
Also love a pair of sweatpants that works for gym sessions or rest days! I am so here for the return of the track pants.
4. Elevated Layers with a Denim Shirt
Having a denim shirt means endless cute outfits. Styling sweatpants with a denim jacket or shirt makes for a versatile casual wear option that works great for warmer days in the Fall or cooler days in the Spring. Styling this look with fitted crop tops or tucking a tee shirt in is a great way to mix baggy elements with a more slim fit. And I love this pair of joggers as a comfy closet staple.
5. Business Casual Twist with an Oversized Blazer
I love the challenge of turning sweatpants into a business casual look by pairing them with oversized blazers. I love the chic street style vibes it gives off. And the juxtaposition of the blazer and sweatpants. Like you're in between running to a client meeting and a gym session at the same time. It's the perfect polished but casual look that also gives you freedom of movement with a pair of comfortable pants.
6. Going Luxe with a Trench Coat or Wool Overcoat
For this look, I was going for a sophisticated vibe with a this trench coat over straight-leg sweatpants. I love how this combination is perfect for all different occasions where you want a more refined outfit look but you also like to be comfy!
7. A Chic Crew-Neck Sweater Over Flared Leggings
It's giving Gilmore Girls in the Fall but make it extra comfy. I love this look because it feels young and trendy, but also a far cry from being too youthful for a millennial like me to wear! You could definitely catch me in my soccer mom era rocking this outfit on a Saturday morning!
8. Rest and Relaxation: Cozy Look for the Living Room
Sometimes we just want a comfy look for wearing at home! For this, casual wear with a nice elastic waist is where it's at. Choosing the most comfortable pants and rocking with a cozy sweatshirt and ugg slippers or Birkenstock clogs is the perfect way to stay cozy chic for relaxing or working at home.
9. Easy Breezy Laidback Vibes with a Button Down Shirt
There are very few things that don't look cooler with button-down shirts layered over top, and sweatpants are no exception! I love how throwing on this chic button down is the quickest way to wear sweatpants like a cool girl.
10. Travel Outfit: Cozy Airport Vibes
There are two occasions that you will NEVER catch me wearing jeans: The airport and Thanksgiving dinner. A chic sweatpants look is the perfect outfit for travel, and I love going with a matching set to really take it to the next level.
Rock Your Sweatpants Outfits With Confidence
Sweatpants have become such a staple in my wardrobe, and I hope this post has given you plenty of outfit inspiration to make them your own!
