This Is How Fashion Girls Make Sweats Look Chic — Plus, Our Favorite $37 Styles

I don't know about you, but this time of year, a girl's gotta be comfy. Yes, there are plenty of stylish sweaters, boots, coats, party dresses, and sparkly accessories on my shopping list right now. But for my "lazy" days where I reserve the right to go makeup-free and put about two percent effort into my outfit, there's another clothing category that speaks to me most: sweats. Now, before you audibly gasp, I'm not talking about dingy styles that have lost their elasticity and/or are just visually a wreck. I'm talking about legitimately cute sweatpants and matching loungewear sets that are the basis of cozy-chic travel and athleisure looks, like the affordable new sets from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's.

Available in dusty pink and the perfect shade of gray, these coordinating sets are goals when it comes to comfy style. Whether you wear them as a set or style them separately with other pieces in your wardrobe, they have just enough polish to them that they don't feel akin to pajamas. Instead, they feel fashion-forward and fresh with a range of pieces from sneakers to boots, blazers to hoodies, puffers to peacoats, and so forth.

To give you a visual of just how stylish sweats can be IRL, I've rounded up some of my favorite fashion girl Instagrams for all the outfit ideas. Scroll on to get a range of cozy looks in order for holiday travel, low-key days, and wherever the heck else you're down to wear sweats. Plus, shop the affordable POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's version which is currently on sale for $37 a piece.
