Joggers…

“Be proud to wear YOU.”

I have to admit that when one of my sons came and told me that he wanted some “Joggers” that I just thought he meant sweat pants. Not so…I soon realized that Joggers are pants that have elastic at the ankle and are loos fitting. The thing about it is, they can be casual or dressy depending on the material that they are made with.

For myself, I love this style because they are something that crosses that boundary of dressy & casual. They are really comfortable because they are not tight fitting, yet they look professional enough to wear for work, dress up for a night out, or even just wear for the weekends for running errands.

The pants in this post are Joggers, yet they are a wool blend and are perfect for business. However, because I don’t ever want to just be the same as everyone else, I added some great Leopard Print shoes with an ankle strap. The pants are a darker blue and that color looks great with this rust colored top that has lace details.

It isn’t quite warm enough here in Utah to get away with not wearing a jacket to go out, so I added in a great jacket that has leather accents. It is a dark khaki color and compliments the outfit really well.

If you choose to put together an outfit with some joggers you have or decide you want to buy some, I always think that a T-shirt or blouse that is not too fitted looks the best, but you can experiment and play around (because for your body type a tighter top may look great).
