Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Style Dressy Joggers

September 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

How to Style Dressy Joggers
I am a huge fan of joggers, but one thing I struggle with joggers is that I don’t always feel very put together when I wear them.  They are always comfy and always my go-to at home, but when I leave the house change into jeans or leggings. (If you want to see some put together looks with joggers check out my post HERE!)

I recently found the perfect pair of “dressy” joggers at Old Navy (HERE).  They are the perfect jogger to help you feel put together, yet they are still comfy!  I feel like this pair of joggers would be perfect to wear for errand running, travel, work, coffee with friends… really anywhere!
Today I am sharing 5 different looks and two ways that you can switch up each look to take it to make the outfit feel a little different each time you wear it!

Look 1: White Button-Down Shirt

Meet my latest favorite thrift find this year so far…my Evereve white button-down shirt that I found at Goodwill for only $4.99. (Exact top HERE.)  This shirt goes with everything including these joggers.  I love how it looks on its own with flats, but I also like the layered look too! I switched out my leopard pattern for a snakeskin mule.

Look 2:  Bodysuit

I feel like I might be a little late to jump on the bodysuit trend, but I finally did it and I love them!  This high neck contour bodysuit is from Express.  It’s so slimming and I just love the look of it with these joggers.  I styled it both on its own and layered it with a cardigan.

Look 3: Slouchy Sweater

You can do so much with a slouchy sweater.  I love how this lightweight knit sweater from Bella Grace Boutique looks with these joggers.  You can do a front tuck with it or the tie is into a little knot on the side.  (Check out my reel HERE to see how I knotted this sweater!)

Look 4: Black Tank Top

It’s hard to find something that this $5 Target tank top doesn’t go good with.  I layered it both with a shorter cardigan and a long duster cardigan.  Both cardigans are great layering pieces for early fall weather.

A white crew-neck tee is so classic.  This one is from Express and it goes with everything including these joggers.  Both these looks would be perfect for running errands.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!
