This Anti-Legging Trend Is Officially Going Nowhere

There's no doubt about it, joggers have increased in popularity over the past few years. And it's easy to see why; equal parts comfortable and cool, they're a clear choice if you want your outfit to feel relaxed and fuss-free. Much like many trends that have emerged lately—where bigger proportions and looser silhouettes have been winning out over body-skimming shapes—athleisure has been growing more relaxed and wide-legged with tracksuit silhouettes often replacing formfitting leggings.

So what are the best ways to wear sweatpant-centric outfits? Taking some notes from fashion insiders, there are plenty of chic ways to style them that prove this loungewear staple isn't just for at-home dressing. Whether worn with structured blazers and trainers, or chunky knits and combat boots, this comfy basic is worth your attention.
