How to Style Loungewear Sets Without Looking Sloppy This Summer

I never used to understand why my matching sweats always ended up looking less chic than I’d imagined. But I now know that learning how to style loungewear sets is what truly brings the whole outfit together.

It turns out that intentionally layering your matching set with chic accessories and a trendy pair of sneakers is the simple yet effective formula for a laid-back look that’s sophisticated rather than sloppy. So there’s no reason why you can’t still feel put-together while ambling around town.

Whether you’re dressing up your trusty gray sweats for school pick up or running errands in your athleisure before pilates, there are plenty of ways you can go about making your best loungewear look a little more carefully curated this summer. Dress them up enough, and you can even get away with wearing pajamas to work. Ahead, you’ll find six different outfit ideas to try this summer.

1. Classic Cuffed Sweats and a T-Shirt

There will always be something a little iconic about cuffed joggers paired with a classic tee. As seen above, Natalie Portman keeps her take on the combo casual, styling her grey sweats with simple white sneakers. To elevate the look even more, we’d wear a matching crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie tied around the shoulders or waist. It’s the perfect vibe for sunny days when comfort is key but you know you might have a few hours inside chilly air conditioning. Add a pair of fun sunglasses, and the look is complete.
