This post shows you what to wear with black sweatpants.
Wondering what black sweatpants outfits to wear? Styling black sweatpants can be tricky because it’s such a basic clothing piece and it’s easy to look like you’re walking out the door with PJs on. I’ve been there, done that.
So in this post, I’ll be sharing 15 amazing black sweatpants outfit ideas to copy. These sweatpant outfits are great for the winter and fall when the weather is a bit chilly.
What To Wear With Black Sweatpants
1. Puffer Vest and Black Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
A puffer vest, especially one that is cropped at your waist, looks so chic with a pair of black sweatpants. It looks like you put effort into your effort instead of grabbing just what feels comfortable.
Pair this outfit with some UGG boots to keep the casual vibe.
2. Loose Black T-Shirt and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
I love simple oversized T-shirts and sweatpant outfits. It’s my go-to very casual outfit if I want to wear something very casual. For a basic look, wear a black or white tee.
Wear this outfit with a pair of black or white sneakers.
3. White Tank and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Another casual black sweatpants outfit is to wear black sweatpants with a white tank. This is giving “clean girl” vibes with a touch of streetwear. Drape a cotton crewneck on top for a more modest look.
For the shoes, you can wear slides for the ultimate streetwear look or a pair of simple sneakers.
4. Blue Tank and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Instead of the simple white tank, you can also try adding more color. I love this deep rich blue color – it gives the outfit a nice pop of color.
Wear a black baseball cap to go for an even more streetwear vibe.
5. Black Top and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
If you’re not really into shoulderless tops, try wearing a fitted black cropped top instead. This is a classic look and it’s very easy for anyone to style.
Wear a pair of sneakers with this look and it’s complete!
6. Green Top and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
If black is too boring for you, wear a fitted crop top with some color. This bright green one really stands out and looks very unique.
You can even wear your sweatpants scrunched up like the one in the photo for another kind of look.
7. Blazer and Black Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
If you want to dress up a bit but also keep it casual, wear a blazer with your black sweatpants! It still looks very streetwear but looks like you put in effort to put together the outfit.
I love a blazer that’s a different color than the pants to create the contrast in color.
8. Black Sweatpants and Boots
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Instead of wearing sneakers, wear some Dr, Marten boots, black combat boots, and ankle boots instead. This makes the outfit look more interesting and less basic than just a white sneaker.
If you’re wearing an all-black outfit like the one in the photo, the black boots can help elongate your legs.
9. Hoodie and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
If the weather is a bit chilly, wear a hoodie and sweatpants! Put on a baseball cap too.
The key to looking good in this outfit is to find a hoodie that fits well. It either needs to cinch right at your hips or be oversized enough to leave a gap around your hips.
10. Leather Jacket and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
If a hoodie is too basic for you, try wearing a black leather jacket with your black sweats. This elevates an otherwise basic look. And if you wear it with a colorful scarf, it won’t look like a lazy outfit at all.
11. Button-Up Shirt and Black Sweats
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
One of the most feminine ways to style sweatpants is to wear a button-up shirt that has some color. A white button-up works as well but adding some color makes the outfit look more interesting.
You can even wear some flip-flops to make the outfit even more casual.
12. Denim Jacket and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Wearing a jean jacket can elevate an otherwise boring and basic black sweatpants outfit but at the same time keep it just as casual.
Choose a denim jacket that is cropped and sits at your waist. Anything longer will keep it looking too oversized and baggy.
13. Plaid Jacket and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Wearing a plaid jacket with your sweatpants can almost trick others into believing you’re wearing a business casual outfit, while still staying super comfortable.
I love the contrast between a formal piece and a very informal piece of clothing.
14. Puffer Jacket and Sweatpants
You might think a puffer jacket and sweatpant outfit will look way too baggy and oversized but it’s kind of a vibe. It makes your outfit look extremely relaxed and chill.
Pair this outfit with some sneakers.
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
15. Vest and Sweatpants
RECREATE THIS OUTFIT
Another business casual type of outfit is to wear a vest with sweatpants. Like the blazer outfits above, this creates a nice contrast between something formal and something not so formal.
