I don't know about you, but this time of year, a girl's gotta be comfy. Yes, there are plenty of stylish sweaters [1], boots, coats [2], party dresses [3], and sparkly accessories on my shopping list right now. But for my "lazy" days where I reserve the right to go makeup-free and put about two percent effort into my outfit, there's another clothing category that speaks to me most: sweats [4]. Now, before you audibly gasp, I'm not talking about dingy styles that have lost their elasticity and/or are just visually a wreck. I'm talking about legitimately cute sweatpants and matching loungewear sets [5] that are the basis of cosy-chic travel and athleisure looks, like the affordable new sets from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [6].
Available in dusty pink and the perfect shade of grey, these coordinating sets are goals when it comes to comfy style. Whether you wear them as a set or style them separately with other pieces in your wardrobe, they have just enough polish to them that they don't feel akin to pajamas. Instead, they feel fashion-forward and fresh with a range of pieces from sneakers to boots, blazers to hoodies, puffers [7] to peacoats [8], and so forth.
To give you a visual of just how stylish sweats can be IRL, I've rounded up some of my favourite fashion girl Instagrams for all the outfit ideas. Scroll on to get a range of cosy looks in order for holiday travel, low-key days, and wherever the heck else you're down to wear sweats. Plus, shop the affordable POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [9] which are currently on sale for $37 a piece.
