Joggers. So much hype!!! If we break it down to the nitty girtty they are essentially a glorified refined version of the classic sweat pant. BUT I would like to argue joggers are bit more sleek and can truly be worn in a fashionable and trendy way. At the end of the day I am embracing the trend and bringing you along with me! Ha. So, here are a few tips for styling your joggers for spring.

FOUR QUICK TIPS
Keep the joggers simple and sleek: I recommend snagging a few pairs of joggers that are slim and sleek. This helps to ensure you don’t end up with that 80’s baggy sweatpant look. Ones that have a slim leg and no elastic at the bottom elongate the appearance of you legs and streamlines the whole look. A neutral and basic color is easiest to pair with and allows you to wear them across multiple settings.
Keep the top, generally, in the same color shade: For example if you are wearing dark gray joggers try a heather gray top or maybe a black top. If you opted for a light color bottom, blush or cream, keep the top a lighter color. The stark contrast between pants and top can create the appearance of a very divided outfit. Sometimes there is room for a contrasting color but in general I try to keep it pretty monochromatic.

Try to create balance between top and bottom: just like with athleisure creating a balanced proportioned look is key to styling joggers. Given joggers are generally not skin tight pair them with a top that is a bit more fitted. Maybe even tuck in your shirt. As spring is on the horizon pairing your jogger with a cute fitted tank will be perfect. Plus a great basic tank is an essential for spring!
Don’t be afraid to have some fun: Adding a fun denim jacket, long necklace, fun trainers or even a baseball hat. Use the accessories to showcase your personal style and truly define your jogger look. I love to add a jacket (always cold) and a fun trainer. Consider a cute backpack or fanny pack (if you are embracing that trend). This is your time to shine!
As a mom and a fan of comfort I am really loving this trend. It is an easy and stylish way to update your momiform or your weekend wear. Let’s be honest who doesn’t want to wear comfy joggers all the time?!?
With Love,
