Okay, so the other day I woke up and checked the weather, like I always do. 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Not exactly freezing, but definitely not beach weather either. And my big dilemma? Could I pull off sweatpants?
I’m a big fan of comfort, you know? So, naturally, I gravitated towards my trusty sweatpants. But 70 degrees is kinda that weird in-between temperature where you’re not quite sure what to wear. I didn’t want to end up sweating buckets, but I also didn’t want to be shivering in shorts.
So I started experimenting. First, I paired my gray, baggy sweatpants with a simple white t-shirt. Pretty basic, right? I rolled up the cuffs of the sweatpants a bit, just to add a little something extra and let my ankles breathe. Then I threw on a light, open-buttoned, plaid shirt. It’s one of those things that can add a bit of style without making you overheat.
- Started with gray, baggy sweatpants and a white t-shirt.
- Rolled up the sweatpants’ cuffs.
- Added a light, open-buttoned, plaid shirt.
For shoes, I opted for my white sneakers. They’re comfy, and they kinda matched the casual vibe I was going for. And to top it all off, I added a baseball cap. Not just for style, but also to keep the sun out of my eyes.
I decide to wear a neutral blazer and wear my neutral bottoms to match, which can be a little more warm.
The Verdict
I headed out, feeling pretty good about my outfit. And you know what? It worked! I was comfortable all day. I didn’t overheat, and I didn’t get cold. It was just right. I even got a couple of compliments on my “casual cool” look. I felt pretty cool.
So, to answer the big question: can you wear sweatpants in 70-degree weather? My answer is a big, resounding YES! It’s all about how you style them. Keep it light, keep it simple, and most importantly, keep it comfortable. You got this!
