Sweat pants, Ugg boots, even leggings, in public are strictly forbidden in my books. There are ways to dress casually without compromising style. The right pair of pants or combination of layers can be just as comfortable as pajamas but can still be worn in public and be respectable. Every once in a while, a little catwalk should make its way into your rotation.
Outfit 1:
Here’s the inspiration: Band Of Outsiders’ Spring 2010 runway. The juxtaposition of the toque and boat shoes with a suit is a little out of place, a little too much but I think the final product is really great. As far as catwalk is concerned, this is dressed-down but is really wearable.
Outfit 2:
Here’s an ‘every day’ example of exactly that look. A button-up tucked into skinny jeans with pointy shoes or loafers is kind of high-maintenance but if you wear it like they’re sweatpants, it doesn’t really matter. In fact, someone might take your photo and put it on a blog and then someone might pull it and comment on how well you pulled it off. Hm?
