How to Style Joggers: 5 Ideas Other Than Athleisure

Joggers are an incredibly comfy option for casual outfits as they work with even the most basic t-shirts and tops. Throw on sneakers and a cap and you are good to go. The quintessential airport outfit piece, joggers also work great for hikes, the gym, or running errands like going grocery shopping. However, they do run the risk of giving you a just-out-of-bed look (even when you don’t want it). Being comfortable is obviously important but looking put together is equally up there. So that’s the balance we strive for in this guide, which will help you ace comfy yet chic with some fabulous yet relaxed jogger pants outfit ideas.

Did you know jogging pants come in a variety of options? One would imagine solid sweatpants when joggers are mentioned but they come in leather, satin, denim, and many other fun options. You can style these different joggers for all occasions and take them from day to night. The right styling can help you elevate this cosy athleisure staple into a go-to. Keep reading to explore how you can stay comfy and look Insta-worthy in these jogger outfits for women.

1. Leather

While leather pants are notorious for being too skin-tight (think Ross from that FRIENDS episode!), leather joggers are a great gateway into the world of leather bottoms that also look relaxed. Pair these with a sheer top, gold chunky jewellery, and heeled boots for an edgy look. You can also go for faux leather, which is lighter and comes in different colours, like maroon and brown. You can pair them with crop tops in neutral colours. For winter, sweaters are a fuss-free option to pair with leather or regular joggers.

2. Knit

Soft knitted fabrics head-to-toe sounds like a warm fuzzy hug and sure does look like it as well. Gigi Hadid embraced the knit jogger trend with grace in white knitted joggers and a cropped white sweater. She completed the look with a black hat, sunglasses, and white sneakers. This is a great way to opt for an interesting jogger outfit, elevated by knitted fabric. You can try this out in any colour you like and make it a co-ord set with matching pieces. For a similar look (and feel), you can also opt for fleece joggers and a top.

3. Denim

While the world is basking in the revival of mom jeans, this is another denim trend that is making skinny jeans look ancient. You can pair denim joggers with a crop top, an overshirt, and sneakers for a casual everyday look. You can also pair denim joggers with kurtas and jhumkas to add an ethnic touch. However, make sure your kurtis are fitted so you get the right shape and the outfit does not look too baggy. Put together a glam yet comfy outfit by styling them with an off-shoulder top, dainty jewellery, and heels.

4. Fun Prints

When it comes to joggers, there are more options than just solids. Available in a variety of patterns, printed joggers are an amazing way to add colour and an element of fun to your outfit. Pair these with a complementary solid top – a bandeau, tube top, t-shirt, or crop top. Prints are also available in the parachute and cargo style of joggers. These baggy pants flatter the pear-shaped body type and are an ideal option for those looking to add shape and keep the focus on their torso.

5. Shiny Fabrics

Who doesn’t love to shine? Fabrics like satin give you that luxurious feel while giving you the comfort of joggers. They are lightweight as compared to traditional sweatpants and are great for a casual evening or party look. Matching satin tops with puffy sleeves and heels go great with satin joggers. You can also pair them with floral prints and sneakers. To take the fun factor up a notch, consider plush fabrics, like velvet, or go for sequin joggers for added bling. Dress them up with heels for a look fit for parties or even the upcoming New Year’s Eve bash.

6. Bonus: Athleisure Amped Up

Quintessential athleisure looks are easy to achieve when joggers are paired with a sports bra and a windbreaker jacket. Kendall Jenner paired baggy black joggers with a mesh racerback crop top and cheetah print boots to elevate the basic jogger outfit. You can also opt for mesh t-shirts or tank tops and pair them with heels for the ultimate street-glam airport look.
