Joggers

For several seasons in a row in the women's wardrobe, sportswear items have been the hottest trends. Joggers are one of them too. Modern models of such trousers are increasingly acquiring the features of universal and everyday, they are already quite appropriate in a romantic and even business suit. Therefore, we decided to tell you in detail how to choose the right and what to wear stylish joggers.

About half a century ago, joggers appeared exclusively as part of a tracksuit. The classic model of these trousers was made of soft jersey, which allowed not to hinder movements. The title contains the English word "jog", which translates as "jogging". It was for him that these pants were designed.

Modern models can only remotely resemble an authentic prototype. However, there are a number of characteristic features inherent in joggers.

1. Cut. They are never tight-fitting. Joggers are somewhere in the middle in width (not tight, but not wide either). The trousers are loose at the hips and tapering towards the bottom. The silhouette of the trousers is very natural, it follows the curves of the human body.
2. Elasticated waist and lower leg. An integral attribute is a soft wide elastic band that serves as a belt for trousers, as well as for gathering elements on the cuffs of the legs. Sometimes the elastic in the belt is replaced by a drawstring. But there should always be an elastic band in the legs.
3. Pockets. Traditionally, these are cut-in beveled pockets on the sides - the most minimalistic and comfortable. Sometimes they are replaced by patch pockets, but their location is always traditional.

There are many varieties of such trousers. And the main distinguishing feature between them is the material from which they are sewn. Knitted models are very popular. They are very reminiscent of a sports leotard, but at the same time they differ from it in style and more appropriateness in everyday attire.

Summer joggers that fit perfectly into the casual style are made of lightweight fabrics such as cotton (volta, batiste, muslin, chiffon, etc.). They are not afraid of summer heat, in addition, they look very appropriate in combination with other items of clothing typical for this time of year.

For a business style, there are models of joggers made in more strict (suit) colors and from dense fabric that keeps its shape well. More elegant variations are also possible. For example, many designers like to decorate joggers with vertical side stripes. There are also models with the use of lurex and other bright decorative elements. Such options are already appropriate for a cocktail party or other festive event.

More extravagant models of joggers are made with inserts not only from fabrics of contrasting colors, but also from completely different materials. So you can find combinations of cotton fabrics and lace or dense knitwear and leather. Such trousers always look very bright and extraordinary, because, being a mixture of sporty and elegant style, they attract the eyes and make you want to acquire such a thing.

In a broad sense, women's joggers are suitable for women of all ages and owners of a wide variety of physiques. But if we talk about these trousers in their traditional (sports) performance, then these joggers in everyday life should be worn only by young girls, and older women should wear them exclusively for training. We are talking specifically about knitted monophonic joggers, those very sweatpants.

There are quite narrow models of joggers that resemble leggings. Every woman can afford such trousers, but the top must necessarily cover the body from the waistline to mid-thigh.

In addition to playing sports, walking and sitting in a cafe with friends, there are a number of areas of life where joggers will come in handy. There is always a place for such trousers at a party or on a date. At the same time, to create a more romantic image, it is enough just to choose light colors. For a party, you should choose more extravagant models.

Whether you're in the office, out for a walk, at a business meeting or on a picnic, the right joggers go everywhere. Perhaps they should not be worn only where women are not accepted to appear in trousers in principle. For example, to the theater.

Casual outfits based on joggers are endlessly varied. Knitted trousers of this style have a dual nature.That is, with them you can create images both in a sporty style and in various casual directions. In the first case, the ideal shoes are sneakers, sneakers, slip-ons or sneakers (a hybrid of sneakers and sneakers). If you're looking for a street-casual look, try pairing with any flats and laces (like Oxfords).

Universal top options for joggers - elongated T-shirts, turtlenecks, long sleeves, sweaters, sweatshirts. Remember to match the colors wisely. Accessories - bags or backpacks, massive wristwatches, hats or caps - such outfits are always examples of eclecticism, so anything is possible here. And most importantly - multilayer, multicolor or, on the contrary, too restrained minimalism and monochrome. These two extremes work best in jogging suits.

Special occasions require appropriate fabrics and styles. Such joggers should keep their shape well, that is, they should be made in dense fabric. Elegant elements are allowed here: sequins, ribbons, beads, rhinestones, sequins and more. It is important to remember that the brighter the decorative elements, the more restrained and darker the color of the trousers themselves should be.

Any high-heeled shoes or ankle boots should serve as footwear for such trousers. In an evening look with joggers, this is a prerequisite - that the heel is as high as possible. Elegant blouses or tops made of translucent fabrics can serve as a top. In addition, you can wear a fitted jacket. And don't forget about fancy earrings, bracelets, pendants.

Experiment, invent new combinations and stylish looks based on our recommendations. Keep it in moderation and taste, and then you can create an endless number of trendy outfits with joggers.

Despite the fact that this look contains clothes in dark colors, such a suit is perfect for a sultry summer day. These trousers, made of thin fabric, flowing in folds, are perfectly complemented by a lightweight T-shirt with an asymmetric cut. The crown of the composition is stylish sandals with a wide ankle strap. One of the best jogger shoe options.

If you don't have a strict dress code at work, try this elegant ensemble. Black trousers made of dense jersey or suiting fabric in combination with a white top with narrow straps and open shoes with chunky soles and thick heels. In late spring or early autumn, you just need to add a fitted jacket and pumps to such an outfit. A perfect example of the symbiosis of sports and office styles.

Another example of the great symbiosis of sports and classic clothing. Simple knitted joggers and high-heeled pumps get along well here. In this ensemble, a strict white shirt and a sports jumper perfectly complement each other. Rolled up sleeves serve as bright accents of the suit, while the sleeves of the shirt are layered on the sleeves of the jumper.
