Trend Watch: Can Sweat Pants Be Sexy?

Everyone seems to be busy with something these days, and outfits that do double duty are essential, but never before would I have thought that a pair of sweats could be considered couture.  Sweat pants have transcended the gym and mysteriously found their way on to the run ways of Isabel Marant, Rag and Bone, Bottega Veneta and Alexander Wang.

The key here of course is major tailoring, don’t think you can grab your ugly sweat pants and create the same illusion, not even close.  This snug but relaxed fit must be worn with a fierce pair of heels or a snazzy pair of flats; gladiator sandals perhaps.  Throw this causal luxe look together with a blazer and a cute tank and your ready to hit up the hottest events, dinners or even parties with your girls in classic comfort.

I’ve found a few budget and budget less sweats to get you started if you’re considering trying this look out.  I think I’ll give it a try, with the flats though at first I’m a sucker for comfortable shoes.

Think you’ll give this look a try?
