I don’t know about you, but I have a love-hate relationship with sweatpants. I love how soft, comfy, and warm they are, especially during the winter. Then again, how is it possible that so many celebs can manage to make the baggy lounge pants cool — and sometimes even sexy— while I’m over here looking like MC Hammer’s little sister?

Well, in hopes of mastering the cute sweatpants look once and for all, I found some sweatpants-oriented outfits that have been worn by the biggest style stars — like Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kelly Rowland. Some of the A-listers went all out and splurged on designer sweats from brands — like Fendi and Vetements. With a few clever style tricks and a little bit of creative styling, they were able to turn the joggers into photo-ready moments. From dashing through the airport in style to making a cool statement during a night out, check out the tips I picked up from the 18 cute sweatpants outfits ahead.

1. Roll the hem of your sweatpants.

Eva Longoria turned her chill outfit into a photo-ready moment by rolling the hem on her gray sweats. A classic pair of white Stam Smith sneakers ($75; footlocker.com) always helps. And a fresh blowout never hurt.

2. Style sweatpants with denim.

Jessica Alba proved how a denim jacket layered over a hoodie and sweatpants can add a few extra cool points. Equally as cool? Her sunglasses and slip-on Vince sneakers ($225; shopbop.com).

3. Layer a coat over sweatpants.

Not even the always-glamorous Victoria Beckham can say no to sweatpants. She elevated her Adidas joggers ($60; macys.com) by wearing them with a tailored coat, over-sized sunglasses, crossbody bag ($1,350; net-a-porter.com), and Adidas shell toes ($80; macys.com).

4. Match your sweatpants with your sunglasses.

This might be one of the easiest style tricks that anyone can pull off while wearing sweatpants and a white T-shirt. Don’t be afraid to brighten up your look — like Dakota Fanning — with red Celine sunglasses ($460; neimanmarcus.com) and red sweatpants ($49; asos.com).

5. Pair sweatpants with a sexy sports bra.

Step up your sports bra game with a design that has a mesh inset similar to Alessandra Ambrosio’s. Bonus tip: If your baggy sweatpants are too long, hike ’em up and roll the waistband down.

6. Make things easier with a matching sweatpant set.

Follow Kelly Rowland’s lead and wear matching pieces. Don’t just stop with the pants and the top. Keep things going with coordinating shoes just like Rowland’s Nike Air Max 90s ($60; bloomingdales.com).

7. Wear a white T-shirt with your sweatpants and tie it up.

Sofia Richie turned what could have been a boring sweatpants ($310; farfetch.com) and white T-shirt look into a winner by simply twisting a knot into the bottom of her top.

8. Invest in designer sweatpants.

If you’ve got a little room to splurge, a designer pair of sweatpants, bodysuit, and matching jacket ($721; mytheresa.com) will be a great investment to ensure you look your best — like Celine Dion — even on casual days. And if you’re game for throwing it all on with metallic pumps, go for it.

9. Throw on a pair of mules with your sweatpants.

Sarah Jessica Parker uplifted her casual sweats with a pair of mules. Notice the strategically pushed up pant legs, which lengthens her entire look.

10.Grab a hoodie that matches your sweatpants and drape it off of your shoulders.

Even if you’re wearing a hoodie and sweatpants — like Taylor Hill — you can still breakup the covered-up look by letting your top hand off of one shoulder.

11. Find a pair of sweatpants with a slim fit

Sweatpants don’t have to be as baggy as a potato sack. A sliming pair with an adjustable drawstring can be just as comfy and much more flattering. Pair them with chunky boots — like Hadid’s Off-White x Timberland ($995; net-a-porter.com) — for extra cool points.

12. Pair sweatpants with boots.

This is the ultimate trend-setter way to wear sweatpants in 2018. These Fendi boots ($1,190; mytheresa.com) have been seen all over Instagram. 

13. Style a sheer top with your sweatpants.

Kourtney Kardashian added a sexy twist to her casual sweatpants by throwing on see-through bluse and a strappy bra.

14. Add tons of layers to a sweatpants outfits.

Gina Rodriguez went in with the layering, and it paid off. She started with a crop top, added an unbuttoned plaid shirt, and solidified her casual moment with a black coat.

15. Accessorize sweatpants with elegant jewelry.

Even Kate Middleton takes a break from her royal dresses for sweatpants. Her key to keeping things looking polished is elegant jewelry — like those pear drop earrings.

16. Top off sweatpants with a leather jacket.

Victoria Justice took her sweatpants to the next level with a leather jacket. And those high-heel, lace-up boots also helped bring the look together.
