Ready to slip into something more comfortable? Keep scrolling to find my curation of 16+ chic sweatpants outfit ideas that are easy to recreate.
With a leather jacket
get the look:
This first sweatpants outfit idea features classic gray sweatpants but with a twist!
Gray sweats are super versatile, in my opinion. So you can swap them in place of jeans or trousers on days when comfort is key. If you’ve ever thought sweats and a leather jacket don’t go together, this is your sign to try it out!
Above, I’ve styled my fave pair with a basic black tee before layering a leather jacket on top. The leather jacket adds warmth and texture to the outfit and has a sleek, grungy element that makes me feel like a total baddie. Keeping with the cool girl vibe, I’ve accessorized with trendy Adidas Sambas, a luxe-looking shoulder bag, and layered gold jewelry.
Business on top
get the look:
One of my favorite ways to instantly elevate a sweats outfit is by adding a blazer. This ‘business on top, casual on the bottom’ vibe might seem counterintuitive, but the end result is naturally balanced and high fashion.
To get the look yourself, grab an oversized blazer and throw it on over a pair of roomy sweats. A bodysuit or form-fitting tee shirt, like Vanessa wears here, adds to the elevated vibe. Finish with a few accessories like a crossbody bag, baseball cap, and sneakers for a streetwear-inspired ‘fit.
Elevated errands
get the look:
Cozy shackets are a must-have in my closet come fall. They look so effortlessly cool styled with a matching sweat set. Plus, it’s cozy too!
Here, I’ve styled coordinating gray sweats with plush socks and Ugg Tasman slippers for an ultra-comfy vibe. The autumnal tones from my plaid shirt tie in my brown accessories (like this braided leather bag) for added warmth. This is the look I go for on lowkey days spent running errands or lounging around the house.
Bright-colored set
get the look:
A matching sweats outfit is always a hit—especially in a fun color. Contrast your brightly colored sweatpants with neutral basics, like a white sports or tank, for a well-balanced look. Style it with a chic cap and everyday jewelry for a look that’s stylish on and off the couch.
Personally, I can’t get enough of this Barbie pink set, but any bright hue would be perfect for laid-back spring and summer days. If you’re ready to step outside your comfort zone, I recommend browsing Aritzia, which has an amazing selection of cute and colorful sweat sets.
Ballerina vibes
get the look:
Ballet flats and mary janes have been among the hottest shoe styles for the past couple seasons, and it’s easy to see why. These cute flats dress up any outfit, even your sweatpants! Slip them on with your favorite gray sweats and a cozy cardigan for a girly, ballerina-esc outfit.
I prefer wearing them with skinnier, cinched-style sweatpants rather than super baggy ones because they look more put-together. Nail the styling by matching your coat and accessories to your flats.
Cozy in cream
get the look:
On days you want to feel extra comfy, trade your jeans in for a pair of cream sweatpants. Neutral, oatmeal-toned joggers feel effortlessly chic and just so happen to go perfectly with all the other whites and creams in your closet.
I love how Anastasia styled hers with a simple white tank, a Marc Jacobs tote bag, and a crochet cardigan. The crochet is a fun and unexpected element that gives your sweats outfit a summer vibe in the warmer months. On super hot days, swap full-length sweats for comfy sweat shorts.
With a wool coat and sneakers
get the look:
This is another easy but chic sweatpants outfit idea you can wear on repeat (I know I do!). All you need is a matching sweat set—I love this gray one, but any neutral color will achieve a similar vibe.
Chunky sneakers and long socks contribute to the outfit’s low-key vibes, but the real star of the show is this long wool coat. Wearing a wool coat is incredibly chic, so you’ll look classy and polished even in the chillest loungewear set.
This is the perfect cozy winter outfit for going out in rough weather. Likewise, it makes a great travel outfit for heading somewhere chilly.
Matchy-matchy
get the look:
There’s something really comforting (and cool) about a matching sweat set. Not only are they relaxed and easy to throw on, but they automatically look more polished than mismatched separates. I’m drooling over this coordinating navy set from Adanola. It has a sporty and preppy aesthetic that looks effortlessly chic—even on your most casual days.
Take a note from Safya’s style book and pair your set with chunky dad sneakers, an oversized shirt, a leather shoulder bag, and headphones (of course). If it’s too hot for a matching sweatshirt, try a matching tee instead!
With a puffer vest
get the look:
On chilly fall and winter days, you’ll often see me styling my sweats with a puffer vest. This is a cold weather staple in my closet that I think adds a cool and casual touch to any outfit. For school or other casual settings, style this look with sneakers, a crossbody bag, and everyday jewelry to look effortlessly put together. If it’s rainy or muddy out, switch out the sneakers for practical lug sole boots.
All-black set
get the look:
I think an all-black sweatpants set is something everyone should own. It’s perfect for cozying on the couch or working out at the gym, but it’s also easy to dress up for school or errands too.
This combo of a hoodie, wide-leg sweats, and cute platform UGG boots makes for the ultimate cold weather ‘fit. Since the rest of your outfit is neutral, why not add a pop of color with a fun bag and plaid scarf?
Pop of plaid
get the look:
This next sweatpants outfit idea gives major 90s vibes with its laidback silhouette and oversized plaid shirt.
I love wearing a white tee shirt and matching sweats because it’s a one-and-done combo that can be dressed up or down. In this case, I love it paired with a neutral plaid shacket, which adds print and dimension to an otherwise plain look. As for accessories, I love that Olivia went for Converse, a baseball hat, and relaxed tote bag.
The overall effect has a natural granola-girl aesthetic that I love! This is an outfit I’d wear for school, running errands, or working at a coffee shop.
With a denim jacket
get the look:
A denim jacket pairs perfectly with any sweatpants outfit.
Opting for an oversized jacket over a graphic tee and sweats makes for a casual yet stylish look perfect for the airport or running errands. On those days, I’ll reach for a large but chic tote bag like this woven leather one that holds all my essentials. I love adding contrast to my outfits, and these green Adidas sneakers bring an instant cool factor.
With a trench coat
get the look:
Nothing says “classy and chic” more than a trench coat. Even thrown over a casual pair of sweats and sneakers, this timeless staple elevates the simplest of looks. The above outfit is the perfect example.
These pleated joggers Div wears have a dressier feel that complements the trench coat. A plain tee shirt, trendy New Balances, and mini bag keep the look casual yet fashion-forward.
My favorite part about this outfit is the warm, neutral tones. It’s a sure-fire way to look chic and cozy as you trot around the city. Wear this look for an evening movie, casual weekend brunch, or spending a relaxing day with family.
Weekend vibes
get the look:
On chill weekends when you don’t want to get out of your pajamas, wear a cute sweatpants outfit instead! I love wide-leg sweats because they’re more elevated than standard sweats and flattering on all body shapes.
Wear your flowy loungewear pants with a logo hoodie and wool coat for a versatile streetwear vibe. Bonus points if you add a fun pair of sneakers for a pop of color.
Modern minimalist
get the look:
This outfit is proof that a gray-on-gray moment can look chic, not sloppy!
Start with a simple base of gray sweatpants, white tee, and cozy Uggs. This is already a great lounging at home outfit, but if you’re heading out and want to look more sophisticated, throw a floor-sweeping gray coat over the top. This mix of dressy and casual looks effortlessly cool and makes your sweatpants outfit feel less lazy. Can’t forget a cool cap and sunglasses to tie everything together.
Sporty chic
get the look:
If you’re looking to make your sweats outfit confident and girly, give this last look a try.
A matching sweat set is practical and comfy for everyday wear but looks instantly more polished paired with a square-neck top and cool sneakers. Chunky dad sneakers, like these New Balances, are a capsule wardrobe-approved shoe and hallmark accessory of the ‘sporty chic’ aesthetic, making it a no-brainer!
For head-to-toe style, wear a headband that matches your sweats! This fail-proof trick works with any color palette, but this chocolate brown color is especially gorgeous.
Summer-approved
get the look:
This last look is cute and casual for a warm summer (or spring) day! I love the pop of white and the oversized denim shirt jacket.
Wear this sweatpants outfit for a coffee run, brunch with friends, or for school drop-off!
