Love them or not, track pants are back in a big way! These pants have the comfort of sweatpants but the appeal of dressy trousers. Let’s talk about how you can dress up your favorite joggers or track pants.

We would all live in our yoga/workout pants if we could. Am I right? The athleisure obsession is for real. Well, designers have been throwing us a bone with the track pant for the past year. We are seeing this pant in everything from fluid, drapey fabrics, to knits, to velvets, to plaids. They work for the day to night when styled correctly, and they are fresh, modern and decidedly fashion-forward.

Let’s discuss some rules to follow if you decide to embark on this current twist on the trouser.

HOW TO WEAR DRESSY TRACK PANTS

Rule #1: Accentuate your waist by doing a half tuck or tucking in your blouse. Do not leave your top hanging out over your track pant. This is sure to make you look frumpy.

Rule #2: Watch the length on your pant. It shouldn’t fold over or drape. Have them altered if so. You should be able to see the cool elastic hemline at the bottom.

Rule #3: Make sure the elastic hemline hits just above the ankle bone. They should look like a slightly elegant, draped trouser.

Rule #4: Check out your back view! Do you need to wear a longer cardigan, blazer or a half-tucked blouse covering your rear assets? This knit blazer would be perfect!

Rule #5: Shoes are important! Do not wear a chunky boot or heel. Opt for a pointy toe pump or bootie. Of course, you can wear some fun, sneakers for a casual, cool vibe too.

Rule #6: Have fun with this super cute, on-trend look and don’t take yourself too seriously.

Speaking of booties, these Rag & Bone Beha booties are SO COMFORTABLE! They are a splurge, but they come in six beautiful colors. The white ones I have on go with EVERYTHING!
