It took some time for the fashion industry to fully accept and incorporate this streetwear staple.
Now, sweatpants have been fully embraced by the fashion industry and are included in many women’s and men’s collections.
But what are the different types of sweatpants? How can you style them to enhance your everyday look?
Read on to find out.
The different types of sweatpants and how to wear them
There are many different types of sweatpants. Here are some of the most popular ones.
- Stacked sweatpants
When it comes to sweatpants there are so many variations but the Stacked sweatpants are original and creative sweatpants that will help you stand out. They bring a fun twist to the regular sweatpants cut.
Unlike straight sweatpants, stacked ones have extra fabric at the very bottom, near your ankles. This extra fabric creates little stacks, hence the term ‘stacked’ sweatpants.
These types of sweatpants are very stylish. They help bring more layers and more visual textures into your fashion look.
They deconstruct the traditional sweatpants shape, making your outfit more interesting.
You can pair stacked sweatpants with a skinny t-shirt. Make sure that you do not incorporate another ‘stacked’ clothing item in your outfit.
Whatever you choose to pair it with, make sure it is smooth and wrinkle-free so as not to exacerbate the ‘stacked’ aspect. Remember that stacked sweatpants are a fashion statement in and of themselves.
- Flared sweatpants
Flared sweatpants are arguably the most popular sweatpants of the season. With this type of cut, the sweatpants have a bell-bottom or flared shape instead of a straight shape.
Individuals who like ‘60s and ‘70s bell-bottoms or flared trousers will love these sweatpants. Flared sweatpants are as stylish as these trousers but much more comfortable.
These sweatpants are very useful for those who work a physically demanding job in the arts or the creative industries. For example, individuals who work on film sets or photoshoots will enjoy wearing these sweatpants.
Flared sweatpants are also great for casual events, relaxing at home, and for yoga or meditation sessions.
