Stacked sweats are some of the most popular sweatpants on the market. But how do you style them properly?
They can seem difficult to style but this article will help you make the most out of them. Read on to avoid making any fashion faux pas.
What are stacked sweatpants?
Stacked sweatpants are a unique type of sweats. They have extra fabric at the bottom.
Because stacked sweatpants are tight and not flared, the extra fabric creates little stacks around the tight hem. These little stacks are the reason why this cut is called ‘stacked’.
There are many different types of ‘stacked’ clothing items on the market. One of them is men’s stacked sweats.
Sweatpants are defined as soft trousers that are usually a little bit baggy to give the legs some extra space. They were initially worn to exercise or to relax at home.
They are now staples of sportswear and streetwear fashion. Luxury fashion designers are also increasingly introducing sweatpants in their collections.
Some sweatpants can even be worn at work, at casual events and fashion events. For example, Irina Shayk wore sweatpants paired with diamonds at the Met Gala afterparty.
A$AP Rocky also regularly wears sweatpants at fashion events and parties. He also elevates his outfit by pairing it with jewelry.
In short, sweatpants can be worn at many different types of events. They are comfortable, versatile and more fashionable than ever before.
How to style stacked sweatpants
This style of sweatpants cannot be compared to an original style of sweats. Here is a quick guide on how to wear stacked sweatpants. By following these tips, you will elevate your entire look.
- Find the right stacked sweatpants
If you want to style your stacked sweatpants, you will need a good pair of sweats to start with. There are some great and very affordable stacked sweats on the market.
Make sure you buy one that fits you well and that you are comfortable in.
An old stacked sweatpants will be harder to style. The tight hem at the bottom might be loosening up which means the stacks might not look as good.
The shape of the sweats might also have changed over time. They will be harder to style once the shape starts to change.
The color of the sweats might also be fading if they are too old. It will be difficult to elevate sweatpants that are visibly used and ragged.
To find a new pair that you like, you can have a look through the men’s stacked sweats. There is also a women’s stacked sweats collection at most sweatpants’ shops.
- Plain and preferably fitted t-shirt
A great pair of stacked sweatpants will be a fashion statement. They will be the star of the show.
You do not want to take the attention away from these pants. The goal is to bring attention to them and play with textures and shapes.
By wearing a fitted, plain t-shirt, you will introduce a different shape in your outfit. This fitted t-shirt will balance out the bagginess and ‘stacked’ aspect of your sweats.
You can introduce a t-shirt with a small logo or motif but remember that less is more in fashion.
- Use jewelry
Irina Shayk and A$AP Rocky both styled their sweatpants with jewelry. If you have nice jewelry that can help you elevate your sweatpants look, incorporate it.
You can opt for discreet and elegant jewelry such as small gold or silver earrings and necklaces. If you want a more maximalist look, you can try pairing your sweats with bigger and more flamboyant jewelry.
- Heels or sneakers
Irina Shayk paired her stacked sweatpants with heels, and it worked. This combination is perfect when you need a more elevated look.
If you are not a man or do not want to wear heels, sneakers are a perfect alternative.
