Ever feel frustrated when trying to figure out what to wear for a weekend activity with friends? Take some advice from this Fashionista and rock the jogger trend that has been quickly sweeping closets worldwide. From denim to cotton and printed to pleated, you can basically find a pair of joggers in any of your favorite fabrics and colors. The best part about them is that it feels like you are wearing pajamas, however you will still get some serious fashion cred.
The original joggers started in the early ‘90s, when rappers like LL Cool J wore rubber bands at the bottom of their pants for a cropped look. Fashionistas and Fashionistos created their own versions of this, wearing high-waisted trousers that ballooned out around the hips and then tapered at the ankle. Until recently that trend had faded but now it has made its way back and will not go unnoticed.
It seems like no matter what store you go into joggers are everywhere. This Fashionista got her ‘80s-inspired acid wash joggers from PacSun. You can find a very similar pair for only $20 at Hollister Co. Don’t worry Fashionistos, we would never forget about you. American Eagle Outfitters has an awesome pair of army green joggers just for the boys. Don’t know what to pair them with? For a fancier look try tucking in a chiffon button-down. For something more casual try a cotton T-shirt with a statement necklace like this Fashionista did. You can find a similar gorgeous turquoise necklace from BaubleBar. This necklace would be the perfect addition to any outfit. No matter what your style is, don’t let the jogger trend fade again before you find your perfect pair. Let’s make this a staple trouser for years to come.
