 On days when we don’t feel like putting on pants – usually days that end with y – us gals have leggings that can usually be styled in a work appropriate way. While leggings for men as a fashion statement have not made it outside of the gym, there is an equally comfortable option with enough panache to work for work – dress sweats. Tailored trousers made of soft knit fabric, dress sweats are the public pajama pants we’ve waited for all our lives.
