CASUAL FRIDAY – how to wear sweatpants outside
Wearing :
Are You Am I crop top, Forever 21 sweatpants, Vans Old Skool sneakers, Louis Vuitton backpack
That sweatpant life. I don’t know if I ever told you but since I was a kid my mom had always idolized sweats. She would wear, and made me wear sweats always. It was our every day main option and she even sew these sweatpant sets for us so we could live in them 24/7. Its curious because “jeans” were not our casual go-t0 option, it was more like special occasions and sweats were the norm. Hence why I had never traveled in jeans in my life and if I ever tried to, I would be mocked and yelled at because “jeans are so stiff”. So naturally I have more sweatpants in my wardrobe than you can imagine and I always kept them for outside the blog. Well now fashion is playing on my favor and I can actually feel so well dressed in sweats and comfy and myself. I literally wore these to go to a party in a trendy venue a few weeks back and a lot of girls complimented my look telling me they wish the wore something similar. We are living in another era and its so empowering that we don’t have to wear heels or a mini dress to be accepted, just feel hot in whatever we want to wear. I wish my mom would still make me those sweatpant sets to be honest.
How to wear sweats and feel you’re not being a hobo?
1. Add a crop top. If you’re going to be wearing some super slouchy pants, you want to balance it out and wear something fitting on the top, I usually go for a bandeau top or a ribbed one like the one i’m wearing here.
2. Black and white or color coordinate: all my sweatpant outfits have been either black and white or all in the same color. I like to keep it neutral or in the same color palette so its more of “a look” and not “I threw on the first thing I found”.
3. Accessorize: a pair of sweats and a black croptop could be a gym look, yes. But a pair of sweats and a black crop top, with some fishnets added for layering plus some badass chokers and chains and some major white platform sneakers is a totally different story. You definitely want to accessorize to give a vibe to the outfit.
4. Find rad joggers with cool prints or added stripes: I’ve been hunting for printed ones like these flame ones or some sweats with checkered print. See below for some cool sweatpants options!

No sé si alguna vez les conte, pero desde que era un niña mi mamá siempre me hizo usar buzo. Era nuestra opción principal todos los días y incluso nos habia cosido estos conjuntos para que pudiéramos vivir en ellos 24/7. Les juro que usar jean era más como para ocasiones especiales y los buzos eran la norma. Como se imaginaran jamas he viajado en jean en toda mi vida ya que mi madre no me dejaba por que “usar jean para viajar es una locura”. Poco a poco conforme fui creciendo me di cuenta que jean es mas como la opcion comoda, pero aun asi siempre preferire usar buzo cuando puedo. Mi closet tiene mas buzos que pantalones de vestir pero simplemente los dejo para fuera del blog.
Ahora la moda está jugando a mi favor y me encanta que puedo usar buzo siempre y sentirme cómoda y yo misma. Tanto asi que lleve estos para ir a una fiesta y varias chicas me dijeron que les encantaba mi look, y que hubieran usado algo similar. Estamos viviendo en otra época en la cual no tenemos que usar tacones o un mini vestido para ser aceptados, simplemente vestirnos como queremos y sentirnos bien y definitivamente hay a aprovechar eso 🙂
Cómo llevar sudores y no sentir que estas demasiado casual?
1. Usarlos con crop tops. Si vas a usar unos pantalones super slouchy, quieres equilibrarlo y usar algo mas pegado en la parte superior, por lo general yo usaria un top strapless o un top pegado de rib como el que estoy usando aquí.
2. Blanco y negro o prendas del mismo color: todos mis outfits con buzo han sido en blanco y negro o todo en el mismo color. Me gusta mantenerlo neutral o en la misma paleta de colores para que se vea mas como un look y no “me puse lo primero que encontre”.
3. Accesorios: un buzo un croptop negro podría ser un look de gimnasio, sí. Pero un buzo y un crop negro, con unas panties de red debajo más algunos chokers y cadenas con zapatillas blancas de plataforma es una look totalmente diferente. Definitivamente se trata de personalizar el outfit para darle una vibra y direccion.
4. Encuentra joggers con estampados interesantes o rayas al costado: ahora que estan mas de moda, hay demasiados buzos bellos en tiendas online como estos con fuego. Mas arriba les dejo unas opciones de buzo menos convencionales.

Loved this post. Before I hated going out with sweats and a simple basic t-shirt, but I will obviously try to match the sweats with a crop top and see the results. Thank you for the idea!
You’re on fire 😉 Nice sporty look!

You make sweatpants look so good! I love the one shoulder top. I never really wore sweatpants growing up, my mom would probably call them home clothes, but I’d like to get some dressier ones.
Love these sweats with a rib knit top
