I feel like every once in a while fashion throws us a trend that’s a thank you for putting up with the other trends we’ve tried. Street style is this trend — sneakers, baseball caps, and now the jogger. Not familiar with the jogger pant? Well, let me introduce you to your new best trend. The jogger is basically an acceptable way to wear comfortable pants all the time. You can wear them to the office, for a night out, or to run errands… and they work all three ways. In fact, I’ve built a strong case for the Jogger; see Exhibit A, B and C below.
DESK TIME
Mixing in joggers for work is actually a lot easier than I first thought. It took me a while to figure out just what to wear with this style, but I realized that a simple blazer and white tee could make this look work perfectly. (These are two essential items you should already have and if not, what are you waiting for girlfriend?) The style of the pants also makes it great for heels. I’m literally wearing sweat pants with heels and it works. No, no thank YOU, Joggers.
DATE NIGHT
Happy hour or date night, you can again make Joggers fit into anything that you are going to do. Add in a cute blouse, black heels and you’re going out to dinner with friends in the comfiest outfit ever. Literally all of your friends will be jealous.
DOWN TIME
I feel like this look is how joggers were meant to be worn. (Sure, you can always go natural and just wear them to the gym but why be boring?) Add in a few essential pieces like a sweater and jean jacket (or even add in a basic tee instead) and you’ve got a sweet street look that works perfectly for the weekend.
New to street style? Here are a few of my favorite street style basics to get you started:

I have been looking for a great pair of jogger pants and I LOVE these! Perfect styling!

Gotta love the jogger, I feel cute even when walking my dog! I think your “jogger” link is accidentally going to the bomber jacket…
It totally is! Thanks for letting me know…fixing now 🙂
Of course! I just found your blog and am really responding to the relate-ability. Keep up the good work!
Uh, I need these in my life. Comfy pants I can wear to work and to happy hour? Sold.
I’m totally in love with the 1st outfit even thought the 2nd and 3rd one feel more like “you” kind of outfits 🙂 However, you have great style and wear it so well! 🙂

Great styling! Love multiple ways of wearing joggers

Ugh, I just love that last look! Anything with denim involved just gets me.

I love sportlux….. a good pair of joggers is a great investment… dress it up or down it works!.x

I think the work look is my favorite! I’m shocked that I could like these pants for anything other than lounging, but you make it work.

Okay, you have me convinced. I NEED these.

Love this! I’ve got maybe too many different pairs of joggers…and they are SO comfy. I’m all about pulling off pajamas at the work place! 😉
No, no Thank YOU Kendi for giving me an excuse to wear comfy pants to work!!! Great look that I will be adding to my repertoire.
Love those leopard heels, but not sure how I’d feel about seeing someone wear their joggers to work. Even the business casual dress code here would be a stretch.
Those pants are definitely growing on me. All great looks. You can’t even tell they’re sweatpants.

Love! How’s the fit on the Joggers? Did you size up, down, or stick with your normal size?
I would stick to your normal size, they run pretty true maybe even a little generous. Don’t size up for sure!
Awesome– thanks, Kendi!
Great post! I’ve never really known how to style these pants. Will definitely have to try!
Oh do I need some joggers! All looks are perfect and I love a good comfortable pant!

those joggers are seriously awesome! adore the heel pairing with them! couldn’t get away with them at my work place as we’re stuck with skirts and slacks but i’d love to wear them in every-day life

Stop looking so cool, I can’t handle it.
P.S. The testy ‘tude might be from the fact that I gave myself 3 minutes to get dressed this morning.
I see joggers on models and they look amazing, but me? I never knew how to style them. Thanks for showing multiple ways to wear it!

This is a trend I’ve been wanting to try but have been unsure about how to style. Thank you for making it seem doable! I’ll be buying a pair of joggers ASAP.
I’ve been on the fence about getting a pair of joggers for myself, and now I am definitely on the YES side! You have created three very different and very realistic outfits– I would wear all of these. You are fabulous!
These look super comfy and you did a great job making your case on how to incorporate the jogger into your wardrobe and lifestyle!

Three really great looks! They look so comfortable but still totally legit for non-couch use. I’ve been on the fence for ages about this pant style, opted for a more dressy version but I may need to supplement 😉 Thanks! xo

Can’t believe I’m the only one saying “No!” to this! Just not for me, it looks sloppy. You did a great job making the best of them though!!
Clearly, you don’t need to convince me that joggers are amazing! I love the ways you dressed them up a bit, because my “go to” outfit idea is a tee and a denim jacket.

Have you noticed them shedding at all? I was reading the reviews on athleta (granted there are only a few) but it seemed like everyone mentioned them shedding everywhere.
I haven’t but I haven’t washed them yet so maybe that’s why they are holding strong. They are so soft that I expect them too, since that’s usually how this material ends up doing.
They do shed (I own them), but less after washing/with time. These pants are so soft that once you wear them you’re willing to overlook some extra lint?

Haha, I was so confused for a minute because here in Australia, “joggers” is the word we use for trainers / sturdy running shoes. It took a minute for me to realise you were talking about the pants, not your shoes. (I would have LOVED to see outfits using “trainers” for the office and a date night! 😛 )

You are rocking the joggers, lady! However, I would probably be kicked out of the office and told to return in something more appropriate if I showed up in these. The last look is so much more doable and relatable. You look so relaxed yet chic and put together, mixing the denim jacket, joggers, and aviators.

i think you look great! but first off, so this is what we’re calling SWEATPANTS now? I love the ease of this look but let’s just call these pants what they are. they’re sweatpants. FITTED sweatpants, but sweatpants nonetheless. second, i really don’t think most professional work places would be okay with this look, even with heels on a blazer thrown on.
Bahaha yes — Sweatpants / joggers are one and the same if you get down to it. I like that ‘joggers’ technically have more of a shape to them and usually taper at the legs, but the material is definitely that of sweatpants. I will gladly wear both!
Great effortless style!

This post is so confusing to me because athleta has a pant called the city jogger and this is not them. For girls who want a more structured look and don’t want to wear glorified sweatpants as anything other than sweats, look into the city pant collection (jogger, aspire, la viva). They are actually pants, but in a great lightweight material and now a lined pant as well as made in a stylish wool. These pants (the coaster pant) are amazing, but to me they are merely lounge pants.
They do shed (I own them), but less after washing/with time. These pants are so soft that once you wear them you're willing to overlook some extra lint?

I love joggers! I like how they are versatile and I can wear them with sneakers for a casual day or wear them with a tunic or blazer with heels for an evening look.
The blog is really informative, thanks for sharing the post.
It’s a great idea, great looks. Thank you)
