I never thought I would say that I find sweatpants stylish, or that I could think about mixing them with high heels. Apparently the ‘Never say never’ saying couldn’t be more true. I am more and more intrigued about this trend, which gains more and more fans everyday.
Taking casual chic to its extreme, a number of established designers including Michael Kors, Thakoon and Jean Paul Gaultier are touting versions of the slouchy pant usually associated with stay-at-home sick days. Gussied up with expensive materials, some tailoring details and price tags as high as $1,000, this new breed of sweatpants is intended to be worn proudly in public with blazers, dressy tops and high heels.
