Wearing Blazers With Sweatpants Is Our New Fall Uniform

September 30, 2020

We’ve already drawn your attention to Katie Holmes’ uncanny fashion sense. But the actress just took things to a new (pandemic-appropriate) level. She was recently spotted out and about in a blazer and a pair of sweatpants. And they work surprisingly well together. So now we’re obsessed with finding the perfect sweatpants and blazers to see us through fall. And maybe winter. Our criteria? No overly baggy, hole-filled sweatpants allowed. The blazers have a bit more leeway. They can be boxy, oversized or tailored. It all comes down to coordination. You need to find the perfect match, otherwise you’ll look sloppy instead of sophisticated. While Katie styled her pairing with a white top and sneakers, feel free to opt for a more street style approach. Just dress up your joggers with a frilly blouse and a sleek suit jacket. Or you can rock your blazer of choice with nothing underneath. On the footwear front, you can obviously keep things comfy with cool kicks. If you want to elevate the look, slip on some strappy sandals, loafers or ankle boots. To save time, we put together 10 pairs of sweatpants and blazers that look like they were made for each other. They’re perfect for Zoom calls, running errands or date night.
