STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Jaunty Joggers

Jogger pants are all the rage this season in menswear and believe it or not, they can be fashionable if worn correctly. They are a hybrid of casual pants and jogging sweatpants and every man’s dream. Combining trousers and sweatpants may sound like a nightmare, but it is the tailoring that brings together the best of both these world. The blend of the comfort of sweatpants with a waistband that allows you to tuck a shirt in leaves you with endless outfit options. Just about anything you can wear with your everyday jeans, you can wear with your joggers.

Not only is this street style-inspired trend found all over the pages of fashion magazines, but they are also spotted around campus. This Fashionista is rocking his cotton joggers paired with a sweater, camouflage button-up and black beanie hat. The pants fall just above the ankle and have elastic at the feet, which allows this Fashionisto to show off his cool kicks. I love the detailed zippers along the pockets. They add a subtle touch of a fashionable edge to the pants. This Fashionisto proves that although joggers are technically sweatpants, they portray a sense of style and sophistication when worn with the right pieces.

Brands have started to put their own spin on the joggers by producing them in all different fabrics and patterns to suit various types of people and their style. Some popular materials and prints include khaki, denim, leather, cotton, camouflage and tie-dye. Whatever fabric option you choose, all it takes is some creativity and an open mind to make your joggers versatile.
