In years past, #NoJeansJanuary might be seen as an invitation to finally incorporate that ‘dress pants with sneakers’ look you’ve been wanting to try into your regular rotation. Or wear those corduroys that you’ve had forever but continuously pass over in favor of you go-to denim.
Obviously after the year 2020 everything has changed, and we’re taking it in stride. If you’re like us, you’ve probably worn sweatpants more in the last 300 day than any hard pants. Things aren’t changing in the next month, so we’re here to celebrate that and take it up a notch. This week, we teamed up with the laid-back, California beach chic brand, Faherty to show you how to wear their Cutback Sweatpant five ways.
How should sweatpants fit?
When shopping for tailored sweats that you can wear for comfort but also FASHION, look for a pair that tapers through the leg, ending in an elastic cuff around your ankle.
These pants shouldn’t bunch at the top of your shoe. In fact, if they end a little above your ankle, that’s cool.
The fit should feel comfortable if not loose at your thighs and crotch. These are sweats, not running tights, so we shouldn’t be able to see everything you’re working with, if you know what I’m saying.
Below, check out five men’s sweatpants outfits to wear:
Monday
