Runway2Hallway's Guide to Sweats

It’s winter and what’s better than going home after a long day and changing into your favorite pair of sweats? Wearing them to school for all day coziness of course! But like anything else there is a right way and a wrong way to wear sweats. So we created a guide to help you look cute while being comfy.

Rule #1: Stick to sweatpants that aren't super baggy. They can be slouchy sure, but baggy sweats make you look sloppy and careless, not to mention shorter. Straight or flare leg pants will look best. Brands that make great straight or flare legged sweats are Victoria’s Secret PINK, Juicy Couture, American Eagle aerie, and Hollister Co. Cropped sweats like the Victoria’s Secret PINK sweats shown will also work.

Rule #2: Contrast baggy and slouchy sweats with a fitted top. A fitted long sleeve tee, Henley, or tank top will balance out the slouchy-ness of the sweats. Same goes with jackets, try to keep it fitted

Rule #3: Try not to wear ratty old sweats. They’re perfect for around the house and weekends, but if you’re going to school try to wear a nicer pair (i.e. no holes, non-ratty etc.). You’ll look more put together.

Rule #4: Choose appropriate footwear. Try to stick to tennis shoes or flip flops. Mini ankle Ugg boots (or ankle sheepskin boots) are also great with sweats and super comfy. Anything nicer or dressier else might not look right.

Rule #5: Everyone knows that some days you just want to roll out of bed and walk out the door. But if you’re going to wear sweats keep it simple and pretty. Wear light, natural make-up, but put a little effort into your hair and make-up.

So get out there and rock your favorite pair of sweats. You know you'll be comfy while looking cute.
