One of the must-have items of clothing these days are stacked sweatpants. From celebrities and entrepreneurs to everyday people, this comfortable but stylish addition to your wardrobe can be easily dressed up or down and will quickly become a staple.
In this article we share our top 10 tips on how to wear stacked sweatpants for a variety of occasions and so that you wear the style right.
Read on to find out what they are!
Pick the right length
Length makes all the difference when it comes to stacked sweatpants. The layered effect is created by the bunching of the bottoms of the pants, so you should choose a pair that extends past your ankles. However, they shouldn’t be too long that you’re tripping over them, or the stack goes too far up the leg.
A good gauge for length is usually 5-8 inches past your normal inseam.
Choose a good fit
Fit is important too! If they’re too baggy, they’ll look sloppy (and definitely not stylish). Go for a slim or tapered fit that feels snug around the thighs to avoid bunching in excess
Pair with footwear
The shoes you wear can make or break a successful stacked sweatpants look. Footwear like high top sneakers or chunky boots are a great option as they provide a solid base for a neat stack. Avoid slim shoes or low-profile ones where possible.
Stick to neutral
The most versatile options for stacked sweatpants, especially if you’re just starting out with them, involve neutral colours and tones. Black, navy, Gray and beige are all a good choice and make a great wardrobe addition as they match well with other items of clothing. Once you have some of the more ‘solid’ options you can start to experiment with bolder colours and patterns.
Consider the top
Speaking of other layers of clothing, you should consider what top you wear with stacked sweatpants to make for a completed look. These types of pants work both oversized and fitted tops, depending on what you’re going for.
Try layering
Layering is a great way to add personality to your outfit and it works well with stacked sweatpants. You can use it to elevate your outfit or make it more comfortable. Avoid over-layering though as this can look messy and feel like it’s not been put together with thought and consideration.
Pinch the waist
Purchased a pair of stacked sweatpants that are too long for you? One tip is to adjust them by rolling the waistband or pulling at the drawstrings to keep them from bagging. This is a simple way to control the height of the stacks without having to go to a tailor.
Avoid accessories
Stacked sweatpants are already a statement piece, which means that too many accessories can make the outfit look too busy. Watches, a simple cap or a small chain can enhance a look without overwhelming it. Whatever the case, choose your accessories carefully!
Test out fabrics
Another benefit to stacked sweatpants is they come in a huge range of different materials, the most common of which being polyester blends, fleece and cotton. A heavier fabric can make a stack look more structured while lighter ones give you a much more relaxed vibe.
Be confident
Finally, the most important tip of all when it comes to any item of clothing: wear it with confidence. If you feel great about how you look and what you’re wearing those shines through the clothing. Style and fashion are as much about your confidence as it is the clothes themselves
Trailing out the stacked sweatpants look should definitely be on your list on clothes to adopt this year. They are the perfect accessory for your chilled out looks, ensuring that you look both stylish and comfortable. With the right sizing and the right accompanying clothing this look will become one of your go-tos.
