We all know and love our cropped sweatpants they have become a staple dress during pandemic times and were important in our lives even before that.
More and more people are beginning to wear their cropped sweatpants more and more and this is a result of many things their day-to-day routine changing along with their work pattern.
And throughout the pandemic let’s face it cropped sweatpants have become a mainstay of our household dress.
Why have sweatpants crept into our daily wear?
Cropped sweatpants have become more of a day-to-day occurrence because more and more of us have been working from home and sweatpants offer the following benefits:
- They are comfortable
- They allow us to feel more at ease in our home
- They are easy to put on
However, with the world opening up again and our social lives going back to normal should we just ditch our sweatpants all together and go back to wearing over the top dresses and outfits. Absolutely not!
Today we will look at ways to style up those cropped sweatpants so they can perform as not only a fantastic stay at home garment but also a stylish item to wear out to social events.
Choose the right fit
There is a difference between sweatpants and cropped sweatpants opting for a cropped version allows a better fit which makes the sweatpants compliment the body instead of hiding your shape.
By choosing a well and almost tight-fitting pair of sweatpants they look more casual chic than home office.
Footwear
As with any item of clothing or new style you decide to try out the footwear you couple with it is crucial. With cropped sweatpants a bold but stylish option is to pair them with heels. Conventionally you will have seen people pull off the sneaker sweat pant combo but for some reason heels and cropped sweatpants just work.
So, get yourself some eye-catching heels and put those sweatpants to work.
Accessories
When utilising a simple item like cropped sweatpants it is important to add other items to bolster the look and impact of the humble sweat pant.
In my experience an oversized bag ideally one with a bold eye-catching colour does the trick it contrasts the simple solid colour look and adds an element of depth to the overall look.
Also, as good as sweatpants are you don’t want to be carrying anything in the pockets as they are prone to fall out so having a bag will not only compliment the look but also give you a great place to store your items.
Jewellery
No look is complete without jewellery and cropped sweatpants are no different. Be careful which piece you choose you want something that compliments the look but not something that is that big that it takes away from the rest of the outfit.
When working such an understated piece like sweatpants it is all about balance and sometimes less is more.
Hair
Now for the exciting part with cropped sweatpants you can really let your hair go and choose any style you wish.
The more outrageous the better because the sweatpants are normally a solid dull colour you are looking to draw the attention elsewhere so by going big and out there with your hair it will draw the attention to you and away from the sweatpants.
I normally find anything with lots of volume works think large beehive or go for wavey down hair the more size the better.
Summary
Our sweatpants have served us well during these difficult times and shouldn’t be abandoned at the first opportunity of being able to go out.
If you follow the tips above, you can integrate your cropped sweatpants into a very stylish and unique outfit that will not only make you stand out from the crowd but also provide an unparallel level of comfort.
And of course, with any look own it. The points above are only guidelines and I actively encourage you to experiment with the look.
Everyone is different and what works for one of us might not work for all of us.
The more of your unique and individual style you can add to the cropped sweatpants combo the more heads you will turn and compliments you will receive. Remember it’s all about confidence so regardless of what combo you look to utilize with your cropped sweatpants absolutely own it. Confidence is king and after the year we have all had we deserve to be happy.
