Sweatpants for Summer
Yup, seems a bit counterintuitive right? We thought so too, but with a bit of stylish and creative thinking, styling sweatpants isn’t as crazy (or as hard) as you might think. In fact, wearing sweatpants in the summer is a chic street style move we’re keen on trying and think could quickly become a new summer staple. To master this look we want to first start by choosing lightweight, breathable fabrics in soft pastels or neutral hues, which not only keep you comfortable but also exude a laid-back elegance and are the perfect palette for warmer weather.. Pair your sweatpants with breezy, lightweight tank tops or cropped tees for a balanced silhouette that's perfect for walks along the beach in the evening or just a casual brunch with friends. Embrace a “french tuck” look to define your waist and add a touch of structure by tucking one corner of your shirt into the waistband for an instant elevated touch of elegance.
When it comes to choosing footwear, we’re going to suggest going for the usual pair of sneakers because we’re trying to balance keeping cool and styling sweatpants in the summer. Instead, style your sweatpants with a pair of chunky or platform sandals or even some canvas espadrilles to make sure your feet are cool and ventilated. We also like a pair of chunky slides and encourage you to have fun with different colors and patterns to add a pop to your casual fit. As usual, no outfit is complete until you add on accessories. For a casual vibe, we suggest simple accessories like delicate layered necklaces but for a more bold look add some chunky statement glasses and a scarf worn as a hair accessory or chic necktie. So, what do you think of this trend? Should sweatpants strictly be worn in winter or have our tips converted you to a summer styler? Let us know!
