7 Ways to Style a Sweatsuit

August 27, 2020 4 min read 1 Comment

Sweatsuits have been the biggest fashion trend to come out of 2020, and we couldn’t be happier about it. As popular as loungewear sets are now, a well-made set is something you will continue to wear for years to come. You can never go wrong with a matching set on days where you want to be comfortable, without sacrificing style. So as much as loungewear sets have become a “trend” this year, they’re actually pretty timeless. And as a sustainable fashion brand, we believe that when you invest in a piece of clothing, it should always be something you can see yourself wearing for years.

When shopping for a sweatsuit we encourage you to consider the sustainability of your set. Traditional cotton sweat suits are made from cotton, which is very water consumptive to grow and harmful pesticides are heavily used in the process, according tothe Guardian, “just 2.5% of the planet’s total agricultural area, the cotton crop uses 7% of all pesticides and 16% of all insecticides.” Our Fair Cloud Terry Jogger Set is made from a blend of TENCEL™ Lyocell and organic cotton. TENCEL™ Lyocell is made from wood pulp in a closed-loop process, meaning no water, harmful chemicals or bi-products were released back into the environment. The fabric is also incredibly soft and breathable, so you can take comfort knowing that your set is better for the environment and incredibly cozy.

In addition to being incredibly comfortable and stylish, there are endless outfits with sweatshirts and sweatpants you can create. Don’t believe us? We styled Encircled Jogger Sets 7 ways (in case you wanted to wear yours everyday of the week). From cozy and casual, to a chic brunch look, if you’re in need of some inspo for how to style sweatpants or sweatshirts, you came to the right place.

1) Jeans + Moto Jacket + Hoodie + Booties

(Encircled Fair Hoodie and UnMoto Jacket)

If you’re looking for sweatshirt outfit ideas that are a little more dressed up, you can’t go wrong with adding a pair of booties, dark wash denim denim, and a jacket. A perfect outfit for fall weather, we love the edgy look of a moto jacket but this look would work well with other jacket options.

2) Jogger + Tank Top + Denim Jacket + Sneakers

(Encircled Fair Jogger and Everyday Tank Top)

A jean jacket and sweatpants are staples many of us already own, making this sweatpants outfit super easy to recreate. Throw on some sneakers and a top under the jacket and this look works perfectly for spring, summer and fall. Our Everyday Tank Top looks great worn underneath but you could also go with any t-shirt and sweatpants combo.

3) Jogger + Fitted Top + Blazer + Loafers

(Encircled Fair Jogger and Unblazer)

If you don’t already own a blazer, we would highly recommend considering adding one to your wardrobe. The tank top and joggers are pretty casual, but with the addition of a blazer the look is instantly more chic. If you weren't sure what shoes to wear with joggers, loafers look surprisingly great, and similar to the blazer, are an easy way to dress up joggers or other more casual pieces.

4) Legging + Hoodie + Hat + Sneakers

(Encircled Dressy Legging and Fair Hoodie)

When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with an athleisure look (whether you’re planning on working out or not - no one will know if you don’t!). We love a chic all black look, but it’s always fun to throw in a pop of colour as we’ve done here with a cute pink hat

5) Jogger + Hoodie + Sneakers

(Encircled Fair Cloud Terry Jogger Set)

We couldn’t leave a matching set outfit off the list. Jogger suits couldn’t be any comfier and when worn together, they look effortlessly cool. Love the look of a matching set but looking for something a little more dressy? Checkout our best-selling Dressy Sweatsuit for an elevated matching set that can take you from work to weekend with ease.

6) Jogger + T-Shirt + Loafers

(Encircled Fair Jogger and Everyday Boxy Tee)

This look is all about the accessories and shoes. A t-shirt and sweatpants are a great outfit base for adding jewelry or dress up with your choice of shoes. Any t-shirt type will work with this look - crew neck, v-neck, boxy, the choice is yours. This is another look that’s so simple to recreate with pieces and accessories you likely already own.

7) Legging + Hoodie + Blazer + Sneakers

(Encircled Dressy Legging, Fair Hoodie, and Unblazer)

Last but not least, we’re bringing back the blazer to make an otherwise basic outfit look instantly more chic.

We hope these looks provided you with plenty of inspo for how to style sweatpants and sweatshirts. If there are any other styles you would like tips on how to wear, let us know in the comments below!

Hello! I ordered a sweat pant and hoodie last week as a ore order but forgot to look at the release date? I am going over to the Sunshine Coast the weekend of the 19th or September and it would be perfect if I had it for then. Many thanks Mary
