The Find: 13 pairs of sweatpants you’ll be proud to sport in public
The Find: 13 pairs of sweatpants you’ll be proud to sport in public
When summer draws to a close, it can be tough to transition from comfortable cottage wear to high-powered city attire. Luckily, fall’s sweatpants are much more stylish than the baggy Roots joggers in your closet. They’re also versatile, so choosing comfort doesn’t have to mean staying cooped up at home; instead, wear a tapered grey pant to lunch with tough booties, or pair one of the fancier styles (we’re looking at you, Balmain lounge pants) with pumps and a button-down for a work-appropriate look. Here, 13 of our favourite fashionable sweatpants, including affordable chambray cargos and perfectly patterned Philip Lim bottoms.

Why are you championing sweatpants as casual wear? Toronto is already fashionably-lazy to begin with.
Thanks for this article. I love sweatpants and joggers – lately I’ve been trying to incorporate them as much as possible. Its super comfy and when styled right looks amazing.
