DOS

  • Follow the Sporty Glam Code
    Joggers sit somewhere between relaxed basics and pieces with more structured tailoring. Get creative by combining sporty attributes and a tailored blazer and shirt
  • Invest in Basic Colors
    Black, grey, white, khaki make sure that these colors become permanent residents in your closet
  • Ups and Downs
    Two options for the cuffs: rolled up or rolled down

DON’TS

  • Fear the Prints
    Bold prints like camouflage will look striking over your sneakers or below your fashion-forward sweatshirt
  • Be Restricted by a “Casual” Dress Code
    Joggers can still work well for more formal occasions. Just add a tie and dressy shoes
  • Treat joggers like sweatpants
    The latter are comfortable basics that have begun invading the higher levels of the fashion scene in earnest. The former still holds the high-street edge, though

JOGGER PANTS

There is no wrong way to wear a pair of joggers. They will look great over high-top sneakers, sandals, or even Oxford shoes. For a super sporty look, go for bold-colored ones. However, remember that other items can steal the spotlight from your joggers, so pay attention to patterns and colors.
