Where do you pull inspiration? I’ve been asked Where do you pull inspiration?

I’ve been asked this question a lot recently and I actually made it a topic in my workshop.

Inspiration can come from anywhere.

For me, I love to see what’s going on in other niches outside of my own, such as photography or even menswear.

We’re so consumed by our own feeds or what the algorithm gives us that it’s hard to step outside of our norm with creative enlightenment. 

So if you’re in a pickle and need a change of scenery, take a look at other categories. Everyone has a unique approach or messaging.

Then ask yourself, “how can I make this my own?”

⁣How do you view success?⠀ ⠀ To me, it’s s ⁣How do you view success?⠀
⠀
To me, it’s stepping out of my comfort zone and building a life that I once thought was unattainable.⠀
⠀
My wife sent me a podcast this week with @jasminestar and @jennakutcher (two insanely talented entrepreneurs I look up to). The topic was about pivoting. ⠀
⠀
@jennakutcher said something that really stuck with me - it’s not that you need to know where you’re going but what you’re moving away from. ⠀
⠀
Whether you’re just starting out on your side hustle journey, in the process of building it, or at the point of going full time, there will always be moments of pivoting.⠀
⠀
I’ve tried out so many unique side hustles over the last 6 years lol from different forms of YouTube channels to a podcast! Every time something didn’t feel right, I’d let it go and move on to the next. ⠀
⠀
Overnight success is a made up term. Nothing happens overnight or in a month. It takes commitment and trust in yourself. ⠀
⠀
I always say “keep going” to my clients. It took me 6 years to get here (with multiple high and lows in the process).⠀
⠀
So trust the process and enjoy the journey… it’s worth it.⠀

How To Style Sweatpants In 11 Ways

Easy, effortless ways to style sweatpants for winter or year-round.

Are you looking to elevate your classic sweatpants look and learn how to style sweatpants? If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that sweatpants have become a staple piece of clothing in our wardrobes.

The cool, baggy leisure look has become the new norm, however, I’m always trying to figure out how to master the perfect styling. With these easy and creative techniques, you’ll be able to translate that typical casual look into effortless street-style!

1. Trendy Blazer

  • How to style sweatpants
    @modedamour
  • How to style sweatpants
    @emilisindlev
  • How to style sweatpants
    @filis_pina

As an alternative to a sweatshirt or baggy jacket, reach for a chic, trendy blazer. This new addition quickly enhances your look and adds more sophistication. Include a pair of edgy sunglasses for a head-to-toe effect. 

Shop Trendy Blazers:

2. Monochrome

  • How to style sweatpants
    @chrissyford
  • How to style sweatpants
    @filis_pina
  • How to style sweatpants
    @itsmekellieb

There’s nothing I love more than a monochrome look, so if it’s also comfortable–I’m 100% in! A monochrome look can be achieved by ensuring the top and bottom are the same color. For a more elevated look, I would recommend an all-black, white, or neutral set. Bonus – most sweat sets come with coordinating bottoms and tops!

Shop Monochrome Sweat Sets:

3. Fitted Sweatpants 

  • casual joggers
    @modedamour
  • fitted joggers
    @sincerelyjules

If you’re looking for a more polished look, the fit of your sweatpants can help with that! A fitted pair of sweatpants lends well with layering and a great base to build an outfit off of. Additionally, reach for a pair of jogger-style pants. This style of sweats works best when they’re fitted and show a little exposed ankle to elongate your legs. 

Shop Fitted Sweatpants and Joggers:

 4. High-waisted baggy sweatpants

  • How to style sweatpants
    @theeverydayicon
  • How to style sweatpants
    @modedamour

For a more playful leisure look, baggy sweatpants are the way to go. The best way to style baggy sweatpants is to wear them high-waisted. This way you can pair them with a cute crop top and jacket. I love to wear this style of sweatpant as a monochrome look! So pair the sweats back with a matching crop tee.

Shop High-Waisted Sweatpants:

5. Add Jewelry

  • How to style sweatpants
    @cassdimicco
  • How to style sweatpants
    @figtny

To make your sweatpants look expensive and glam, try styling the look with jewelry. I would recommend layering a few chain necklaces along with earrings and bracelets. For the type of jewelry, I would reach for gold jewelry as it makes the outfit look more elevated. Also, there’s no need to splurge on jewelry for this look, you can easily find cheap pieces. Here are some options below:

Shop Jewelry:

6. Long Wool Coat

  • How to style sweatpants
    @filis_pina
  • How to style sweatpants
    @katarinavidd
  • How to style sweatpants
    @modedamour

To elongate your sweatpant look, throw over a long wool coat. Styling the outfit with a tailored, sophisticated coat not only makes the outfit look expensive but also lends itself to a “model-off-duty” look. The ultimate street-style vibe!

Shop Long Coats:

7. Crop Top or Casual Sports Bra

  • How to style sweatpants
    @zaraynaf
  • How to style sweatpants
    @pchadz

A simple crop top or casual sports bra is an easy addition to style with sweatpants. This styling looks great with high-waisted, baggy sweatpants and a matching top. To add a little more style to the look, try rolling up the hem of the pants. This not only elongates your leg by exposing the ankle but also a fresh look.

Shop Crop Tops:

8. Mule Slides or Heels

  • How to style sweatpants
    @filis_pina
  • How to style sweatpants
    @emilisindlev
  • How to style sweatpants
    @filis_pina

This is a very fearless Carrie Bradshaw look, but I love it! Focus on minimalist footwear, so simple mules or heels in one color tone. You can keep it all one color from top to toe or mix it up in a balanced color palette–don’t forget to add jewelry! Either way, this technique is playful, so have fun with it!

9. Clean White Sneakers

  • How to style sweatpants
    @lefevrediary
  • How to style sweatpants
    @figtny
  • How to style sweatpants
    @livinglife.oh

If you want to stick with a stylish casual sweatpants look, then clean white sneaker is the way to go. White sneakers work with every color-way and pairs well with a cute crop top.

Shop White Sneakers:

10. Layer Up

How to style sweatpants
@sarahdescho

Add stylish layers to the look, such as scarves, leather jacket, or cardigan. An easy form of styling sweatpants is layering a denim jacket under a beige trench coat. Moreover, dress the outfit up with layered jewelry and sunglasses. Make sure the pieces are carefully layered, so it looks more purposeful than messy.

11. High Boots

  • How to style sweatpants
    @lefevrediary
  • How to style sweatpants
    @modedamour
  • How to style sweatpants
    @viijrocha

Be the ultimate trendsetter and style your sweats with fresh knee-high, combat, of lug boots. This look works best with lightweight sweatpants or joggers. You don’t want sweatpants that are too big or heavy, or else the outfit would look messy.

Shop Boots:
