Sweatpants season is here, you know, just in case you weren't already wearing these comfy and cute pants all year long thanks to quarantine. And, while many colourful options are available now — have you seen the tie-dye ones? — we keep coming back to the classic grey sweatpants that were ever popular in the '90s. These tried-and-trues have gotten us through Saturday morning cartoons, gym class, late-night college study sessions, and more. Think of them as the LBD of sweatpants — they go with everything!

If you wore grey sweatpants as a kid, then you probably already know how comfortable they are. But influencers, fashion bloggers, celebrities, and everyday women are now discovering that they actually make for pretty cute outfit staples, too. Wear one with a crop top and a jean jacket over it, then add chunky white sneakers (and a mask, of course). Now, you are ready for anything, like going grocery shopping, joining a virtual happy hour, making the next viral TikTok, and more. Find more style ideas and shop some of the best grey sweatpants available now.

Brighten up your look by wearing a colourful tie-dye sweater and bold purple tennis shoes with your grey sweatpants.

Keep it simple by pairing your regular grey sweatpants with a matching sports bra.

Tie your grey sweatpants to just above your belly button and wear with a sleeveless, olive-green crop top.

Mix comfort with glam by wearing a workout tank-top and oversized white gym socks with your grey sweats, along with oversized hoop earrings and full makeup.

Wear your favourite crew-neck sweatshirt in any colour with grey sweatpants. Hey, they're neutral for a reason!

The ombre look is very popular — wear medium-to-dark grey sweatpants on bottom and a lighter grey sweatshirt on top. This also looks great with white sneakers.

Don't limit yourself to just the women's section! Shop grey sweatpants for men for an ultra-baggy (read: comfortable) look, which you can pair with a light pink crop-top tank-top that ties in the middle.

Stick to the basics by wearing your grey sweatpants with black shoes, a white sports bra, and a black face mask.
