The number of times where I’ve woken up really not feeling myself that day, either bloated or just extra tired and not in the mood to dress up, is pretty often I’d say. It’s barely the middle of the week and twice I’ve already felt that way. Even today, and that’s okay! You don’t always have to wear your good jeans, and a fitting little crop top to look cute. It’s all about the way you style any piece of clothing. I’d like to bring forward one of my favorite pieces in the fashion world, sweats! Whether it’s sweatpants or a sweatshirt, I absolutely love both. I even like to pair them together and wear sweat sets for optimum cuteness and comfort! I’m going to walk you through the steps on how to wear different styles of sweats and still look cute!
- Size Matters
The first thing you want to do is begin with finding the perfect size! This is key to comfort! You want to pick a pair that fits more on the looser end. On a “blah” feeling day, the last thing you want is to be wearing tight bottoms. I promise you, that could literally be the one thing that will make or break your day.
- Nudes or Color
Next, you want to select your color. Essentially you have 2 options here: 1- color or 2- neutrals. Personally, I don’t have a preference because I like to wear both depending on the weather, my mood, and/or the type of sweats. I prefer neutrals when I’m wearing just a sweatshirt or sweat bottoms. And I prefer color when I am wearing both a sweatshirt and sweat bottoms!
- Sets Sets Sets!
My go-to for being comfortable while still looking cute is finding a matching set! A matching set makes you look more put together compared to wearing a sweat top and bottoms that are both different colors. This gives the clean look, definitely a must in the fashion world! You not only look more together but you feel it too! From personal experience, I tend to feel more motivated to get things done when wearing a matching set!
- Bring out those sneakers
I don’t know about you, but when I wear comfy clothes, I’m going straight to my shoe closet to bring out my favorite pair of everyday relaxed sneakers. When purchasing sneakers you want to consider that you will use them for days like these. That being said, try to make your selection based on the quality of the shoe. Do some research on reviews before purchasing to see how others describe their comfort and durability level. The last thing, look for neutral tones in your comfy sneakers that way you can wear them with all of your sweats regardless of their color!
