Six ways to make sweatpants stylish while in quarantine

While we’re all stuck with quarantine and curfews during this season, there aren’t many interesting things going on. But who said we can’t make lemonade out of our current lemony situation?

Most of our daily schedules are empty and we’re basically struggling to bring a little light to our lives as we wait for some good news. 

It’s quite a boring period but your style doesn’t have to take a back seat. By the time normal life resumes, you need to be prepared to wow all your friends with interesting twists you’ve added to your style. You might also be interested in taking cute photos for the gram which is a great way to stay busy and have some fun.

Sweatpants are definitely a stay-at-home staple. They’re extremely comfortable and can be worn both indoors and outdoors. Before you shun this loungewear as a staple you only wear when chilling indoors, you should definitely give it a revamp. Here’s how. 

i. Add a sexy pair of heels 

This is the oldest trick in the fashion world when you want to remove the blandness from any outfit. A casual pair of sweatpants will turn into a fabulous one just by trading in the flip-flops and unflattering sports shoes for a bold pair of heels. You could even try the low cut pointed boots for this look or heels with interesting patterns if you like.

ii. Choose the right tops

Sweatpants can sometimes be too casual or sloppy. So when you want to bring out a whole look, you shouldn’t just stick to plain t-shirts. That will tone your style down and not in a good way. Combine them with a cute bralette or something with an interesting twist like an artsy printed tee. Play around with different dressy tops that you wouldn’t normally pair with sweatpants and see how it turns out. But be careful not to go overboard with this one.

iii. Always accessorize

Accessory details are important for every outfit. In this case, they’ll remove the ‘casualness’ from the sweatpants. Go with trendy bags, necklaces, classy wristwatches, a nice pair of earrings and basically anything that will make the outfit pop.

iv. DIY sweatpants 

You can also decide to revamp your old pair of pants into brand new ones by adding your own creative flair into them. There are many tutorials on how to create cutouts, how to paint on them with the right kind of fabric pints and how to tie-dye them properly. This will be a fun art project you can do while in quarantine. Don’t you think?

v. Go with a two piece

The easiest way to up your sweats game is to opt for a matching set. The monochrome vibe is a simple but powerful fashion statement on its own. You’ll have more room to work with when it comes to choosing other accessories. For that added touch of style, drape the jumper into an off shoulder or turn it into a cropped jumper. Super cute!

vi. Pick en trend colors

Certain colors are in and others like the neon greens have run their course by now. Work with black, brown, nude palettes and other neutral colors that are still trending. Paying attention to the colors you choose is more than enough to make you a real fashionista.
