Did I ever tell you that I never owned joggers (aka sweat pants) as a kid? Seriously I was in college when my friend Dana mentioned something about them and I was like, “yeah I never owned a pair” – yup. I’m not even sure I ever owned a sweatshirt! Does that sound weird? I know it did back then! Anyway, here I am at 56 and I am in my joggers era!
In My Joggers Era
What can I say except that I love how comfortable joggers are and I get the hype! I’m not sure if I mentioned it here or on Instagram (where I just ramble on and on) but my mom is not a casual person. I have NEVER seen my mom wear jeans and a tee nor has she ever owned and worn sweat pants or joggers. She never leaves the house without a full face of make up and her hair done. It’s who she is and at 80 nothing is changing!
On the other hand, I am decidedly more casual. I have no problem leaving the house without make up on and have certainly had my share of jeans and tee days! Lately I have developed a penchant for joggers. It has helped that athleisure movement has taken these casual pants from the gym to day to day life. Joggers are not just for working out or going to the gym!
How I’m Wearing Joggers
Maybe what I love about joggers is how they marry my dressy side with my casual and comfortable side? Maybe it’s the versatility? Maybe it’s a way to look modern? I think it’s all of those reasons and more. But I have recently found some good ones – and guess what – I think I like joggers better than leggings. There I said it. I’m sharing 3 of my favorite joggers and how I’m wearing them!
This pair from Lou & Grey at Loft is my most recent purchase, they are called Luvstretch joggers. I wasn’t going to give them a second look until my friend pointed them out. They feel incredible on! I don’t own anything else in this fabric. I tried them on at the store with a sweater but when I got them home I paired them with my Quince cashmere crew neck. I am wearing them in a size small and they come in other colors.
I think they look great with a heel too!
Speaking of a heel, this pair of liquid leather joggers from Clara Sunwoo dresses up or down so easily! What other pant works so seamlessly with a glitter top and then immediately with a tee and sneakers. I am wearing both the joggers and the glittery mock neck top in XS; use my code KELLYANN10 to save.
This last pair of joggers is the most athletic type I’m sharing today. In fact they are called: PUMIEY Women’s Sweatpants High Waisted Baggy Sweat Pants Workout Casual Joggers Pants Airy Collection What a mouthful, right? But they are loose and baggy but uber comfortable! They are not heavy fleece but they’re a blend of cotton and polyester. The fabric is lightweight and airy! They come in 7 colorways and sizes range from XS-XXL. I am wearing a small but would have preferred an XS, in my opinion they run a little big!
So, are you in your joggers era too? Are you finding yourself more drawn to casual pieces like this? Tell me!
