12 Tips For How to Wear and Style Joggers Fashionably
You may think you know how to style joggers, since so many of them come with matching hoodies these days. But knowing what to wear with joggers to make them look a touch more fashionable than a standard sports set requires a bit of inspiration. Originally created as athletic wear, joggers have become everyday wardrobe essentials that can be dressed up or down. The pandemic also contributed to their renewed popularity, upending traditional workwear codes and turning our attention to comfortable, wear-everywhere clothes suitable for long work-from-home days. The sports pants' lightweight construction and relaxed fit make them ideal for all sorts of everyday occasions, like gym sessions, grocery trips, and coffee runs. We've also seen them on It girls like Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez, who regularly sport joggers at the airport.
But joggers go way beyond just wearable loungewear. They can be styled for semi-dressy meetings or for date night if you choose a more fitted style completed with pumps. Swap your go-to Adidas slides for kitten heels, trade your sweatshirt for a fitted pastel satin bra top, and you'll have achieved peak soft-girl aesthetic. The perfect year-round staple, joggers are season agnostic, pairing well with cable-knit sweaters and chunky sneakers in the winter, and with crop tops and open-toed sandals in the summer. From a budget perspective, they're a great investment: you'll get plenty of wear from your joggers, especially if your wardrobe tends to err on the comfy side.

What Are Joggers?
Stemming from the widespread appeal of athleisure, joggers are casual pants that come with a drawstring waist. They boast a similar silhouette to sweatpants, but their ankle cuffs and often more tailored appearance set them apart.
Joggers vs. Sweatpants
Joggers and sweatpants are both comfortable and generally loose fitting. However, joggers are typically worn for activities like running or biking. They're also typically lighter and more breathable than sweatpants, since they're primarily designed for working out.
What to Wear With Joggers
You can style joggers with any and every top, from sweatshirts to tanks and bralettes. If you're going for a casual look, finish with slides or slippers.
