If you are someone who lives in their joggers and would rather stay in them than change them just to leave the house, then you may be happy to know that you can make them fashionable with a few tweaks.
Wearing joggers can be incredibly comfortable as they do not restrict movements or are made from a stiff material.
You may be told that you shouldn’t wear them outside, especially to events or on nights out, but you can style joggers with a variety of clothes and boots that will make you look well put together and help you create your own street style.
If you want to wear joggers until the end of time, no one is going to stop you, especially not with these styles we are talking about today. So grab your denim jacket, ankle boots, and maybe a plain white t-shirt, and read on.
What Are Joggers?
If you don’t know what joggers are then you have come to the right place. A joggers style used to be seen as plain and laid back, but now with companies making joggers that complement a whole wardrobe full of looks, joggers are having their moment in the spotlight.
They provide a casual look to your outfit, and they can either have a drawstring waist or a ruched banded waist depending on what you want. They do have a bit more of a tailored appearance compared to sweatpants and may have cuffed ankles.
Outfit Ideas For Wearing Joggers
If your wardrobe is filled with grey joggers, white joggers, and black joggers, (shall I go on?) then you may be staring at them thinking about what you could do to create a look for different needs, whether that is going out for the day with friends, or wearing them out for an evening meal.
Before you know it you’ll be checking out many stores that sell joggers and clearing their aisles.
You don’t have to go to too much effort to make it look stylish, sometimes the jogger itself will just be stylish on its own and you just need to add some accessories to make it look chic or fashionable.
Read on to learn about some jogger outfits that your friends may want to copy too.
Joggers With a Leather Jacket
If you want to take it straight to a night out, adding a leather jacket to some jogger pants will certainly dress up a pair of joggers.
What To Wear With It
To make it look the part, think about a black leather jacket with white joggers, maybe a silky t-shirt tucked in slightly and some ankle boots or you could wear heels instead if you want to elevate the look.
Leather is not just for formal, it can be a casual addition to your wardrobe too, so you may want to go for a plaid shirt or graphic t-shirt and wear flats for when you go out, it still makes your outfit unique but without being too dressy for you.
Bomber Jacket
Still in keeping with the jacket style, you could think about wearing a bomber jacket when you are styling joggers so that you have a sporty casual look that can be worn to many places without looking too showy.
What To Wear With It
You may want to stick to a similar colour throughout, so if black is what you love, opt for black joggers, a black bomber jacket, and a black tank top with black combat boots.
Obviously, you don’t need to go fully to one colour, you can mix and match, but if you would rather do that, then it would still look very stylish.
Denim Jacket
Denim never goes out of style, it is a piece of clothing that has spanned decades with fashionistas finding different ways to wear it and make it their own. It is comfortable and should be a staple in people’s wardrobes throughout the seasons.
What To Wear With It
You can wear joggers with a denim jacket paired with a simple pair of white sneakers and a slim-fit t-shirt. This look is very casual, so it may not be a date night staple, but a day out with friends will fit the part.
Casual looks like these are always needed, and if you want to give it a bit of a dressing up with your own personal style, you may want to think about putting on some gold jewellery and hair accessories.
Knowing how to style joggers is never easy at first, but you’ll make it your own when you play around a bit.
Wool Coat
This may not be your first choice when you wear joggers, but a wool coat that is plain will add style to your outfit. If you have cuffed joggers, then you could look at putting on some white converse or one of your crop tops to make it look good.
You can even style up plain sweatpants with this type of coat.
What To Wear With It
A graphic tee will make a difference as it will draw attention away from your sweatpants and have people focus on the top half, especially if you are wearing your sweatpants as your joggers are in the wash (you clearly need to get more than one pair of joggers).
Turtleneck
Turtlenecks are another staple in people’s wardrobes, they have been going for years and years and yet, when the weather gets chilly and the leaves are falling, these pieces are brought out into the world.
What To Wear With It
You can go quite casual with a turtleneck. Think about wearing joggers that have a block colour, e.g. white or brown, and pair them with flat shoes. Great for when you want to run errands but still look put together.
If you want to do more for your look then go for tall boots instead. You can wear joggers and your turtleneck with a puffer jacket as well or a long cardigan, the choice is up to you.
These styling tips are just a rough guide as when you pull out a piece of clothing you can use what you have and what we have said to make a well-informed decision. Don’t just run out to buy exactly what’s on the list, or do, we can’t stop you.
Blouse
Feminine and delicate, a blouse is great to wear for all different seasons and days. If you are not a printed top type of person and would like a look that is a bit more ‘dressed up’, then a blouse would certainly be up your alley.
You may not automatically think that a blouse would work with your joggers, but it can make jogger outfits look stylish, so when you wear joggers outside the house, you know that you are wearing something that you are happy with.
What To Wear With It
Tall boots or flats would look good with a blouse, you could bring back the denim jacket too and add a flower hairband and delicate jewellery, really making it look fresh and fun without going too heavy.
Velvet Joggers
Yes, these types of joggers do exist, they are plush and look lovely, so if you want to make your outfit look way more stylish and wear it for a night out, velvet joggers may just be the thing that sets you apart from the rest. They can be quite trendy, which will be great to keep on hand.
What To Wear With It
This can be dressed up or down, but if you are committed to going out for the night, then you may want to wear it with a silky top and ankle boots. It might be great to wear it without any type of jacket and just have it the way it is, or you could add a blazer to your look, and make it smart and formal.
Ripped Joggers
Grunge, fun, relaxing, and stylish. Ripped joggers do not have to be seen as lazy wear, they can make an outfit look fun and innovative.
What To Wear With It
How about going for a cool and casual vibe with a slim-fit graphic t-shirt? Picture a stylish black panther party t shirt or a comfy tank top, which would totally complement your outfit. To add some extra flair, you can casually layer it up with a button-down shirt on top.
You could alternatively go for an oversized sweatshirt if you want to make it as casual as possible. Wear a baseball cap and you may be good to go.
How Would You Wear Joggers?
When you wear joggers do you do it because they are easy to wear, or do you feel like they provide structure to your outfit? Before reading this did you know how to style joggers or were you just guessing as you went along?
