Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know that after having my son, I vowed never to be one of those moms who wears sweatpants and sweatshirts all day, every day. However, I do try to dress in a way that is both fashionable AND comfortable ( I do spend my days playing with a baby after all!). This is why I got so excited when J Crew advertised the "Un-Sweatpant".
"What is this?!" I thought to myself - the comfort of sweatpants in a non-sweatpant fabric? I decided I had to investigate! So off to J Crew I went with my 25% off coupon in hand (because really - why shop there without one?). When I tried them on, I was in heaven. They are so comfortable, and made with a merino wool/nylon blend, so they look almost like a cross between a sweater and a knit pant. Unfortunately, even with my coupon, $78 is a lot to spend on these pants. But wait! They are on promotion? An extra 30% off?! SOLD! :)
So back to my house they went. But how to style them? I went to the J Crew website and read;
"The epitome of luxury loungewear. Our modern take on the sweatpant is so stylish (and supremely comfortable) you'll want to wear it everywhere—with everything...We're pairing ours with a classic blazer, sparkling accessories and heels."
Ah ha! I have those pieces! So on they went - the sequined tank, blazer, sparkling ring and red heels.
Un Sweatpants - J Crew, Tank - J Crew, Blazer - GAP, Shoes - Shoe Dazzle, Ring F21
I think I'm in love.
While I am still deciding if I can pull this look off, the fit, the cinched ankle and the fabric of these pants are wonderful! More styling options to come when I have time to play in my closet...
So - what do you think? Can these pants be dressed up or are they strictly for around the house/weekend wear?
