  • Hairstyles: Style your hair in different braids or updos or bring both together.
  • Body Type: Choose joggers with a tapered leg, which emphasizes the angle of your shape from hip to ankle. If your hips and thighs are problem areas, choose joggers with flowy fabric, less leg taper, and lighter weight.
  • Footwear Style: Wear fun print sneakers or contrasting color footwear to draw attention away from the fact that you are wearing loungewear.
  • Accessorize: Complete your look with stylish accessories such as sunglasses and headbands.

What Are Joggers?

Joggers are basically the closest cousins of your sweat/workout/athleisure pants, but these are more versatile and stylish than your regular sweats. Yes, we live most of our lives in athleisure pants, so why not give them a facelift? Now, let’s see how we can style these and look at some cool ways to wear joggers.
