How to turn loungewear into fancywear

I always jump at an opportunity to wear comfy clothes. Because sometimes it is just too tiring to wear all those uncomfortable shoes and tight pants and short skirts. And I know that when you pull out that pair of old sweatpants, you just stare and stare at them. Because the only people who wear old sweatpants and sneakers are pregnant women in their third trimester , gym teachers, and fat college kids. And I get that. You want to be taken seriously ( no offense to all you pregnant women in your third trimester , gym teachers, and fat college kids).  But I swear, there is a way to look sharp in sweats. And you better enjoy this one, because it took a lot of brainpower.

1) Have Nice sweats

Brands I prefer:

Sweatpants

Urban Outfitters Loungewear-                   Comfy but also practical sweatpants.

Sneakers 

White Converse-                    Classic. Just plain classic.

Supergas-                          Who knew sneakers could be so Mediterranean chic?!

2) Wear Nice tops and Nice Shoes (One or the other or both)

For tops, preferably something with a bold pattern, or something silk, or something sparkly. If you look like someone from the 70's then you hit the nail right on the head. The best places to buy reasonably

priced ones are at Madewell and J. Crew. 

                  Meshnot Top

sessùn™ balsamine silk top

        Matte Sequin Top
 Collection Metallic Marigold Top 
Flora Lace Peplum Top






For Shoes:
Any super sleek shoe will work. I know that some of you will stare widemouthed at the computer when  you see this but I do think heels are appropriate in this case, and I think its super important to add some height in your shoes to lengthen your legs.  I mean, come on, your wearing sweatpants for gods sakes!

Just In case you haven't had enough yet, I put together some outfits from my own closet as inspiration for you guys using one pair of sweatpants:

           Ladylike : Oxford pumps + embroidered blouse + Sweatpants

                         

 70's Disco Star: Floral silk button down shirt +  gold oxfords + Sweatpants

                           
             

 Super Chic CEO: 
white silk short sleeve blouse + black booties + Sweatpants

Peace Love and Sweatpants!
