Gray Jogging Pants (1/22) - YouLookFab Forum

Hi All,

I wanted to buy gray pants and I saw these gray jogging pants (Zara). It’s not my style, but I liked the color and texture of the pants and I decided to buy, maybe I’ll like it. Of course the inspiration was Angie’s posts. These jogging pants are made of recycled polyester ( at least 50 %), again I said no, but they are silky, soft and comfortable. These pants are not for winter but for spring and of course autumn.

Here are a couple of combinations that came to my mind at this point. Please your honest opinion, first about the pants and of course about the outfits.

1 – Sporty look, marigold light sweater (Zara), yellow chunky sneakers, necklace and jacket ( #1-2);

2 – Black light sweater (Zara), black pumps and silver necklace, as a topper I would probable wear black blazer. (#3)

3 – Just spring outfit, white shirt, snakeskin loafers ( Zara), silver necklace and silver bag, and white blazer. (#4-5)

My hair badly needs a hairdresser, sorry for the bad hair, but Covid is still here.

Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Interesting! I admit I don't like the pants 'as such' but with your styling, wow! Especially with the yellow! Though they look quite luxe in 5 too.

Oh my word, these are fab! Love the marigold with them and the white top looks so fresh. The semi tuck with the black is perfect too. Fresh looks and so current. I've never seen joggers look so good!

Awesome styling! Particularly like the gold sweater and white shirt looks

RobinF

These look great on you! I particularly like them with the yellow sneakers.

Isabel

WOW. I love those on you ....Zara has some great sweatpants. I think sweats would also look great on you a bit shorter.

rachylou

Omg. Lol. I’m laughing because I didn’t know joggers could look that sharp! Lol!

Mirjana

LIESBETH, KELLYGIRL, NIKKI, ROBINF and ISABEL thanks for the comments and encouraging.
LIESBETH, I am not fan of such pants, but they are not classic jogging pants, and that's the reason why I bought them.
KELLYGIRL, yes, these joggers look elegant.

RACHYLOU, yes, I agree they really look sharp . I'm glad you like them.

YOU ARE SO KILLER GORGEOUS, Mirjana. Always a fab mix of trendy and classic, beautiful ease, elegant verve, lovely polish, and a happy disposition. What a treat

Super cute marigold compliment! And the joggers are fab! I can't pick a fave. Rock on...

kkards

Gosh i really like these. All versions are great, but for me, the white shirt tied and then with the white blazer-those are inspired

ANGIE thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Your opinion means a lot to me, aways encouraging to go ahead. You are very sweet.
KKARDS, thank you kindly.

always trying

Joggers in all fabrics seem to be so in-seeing them on all sites from Target to Nords.
You make them look super. I think you are a super model for this trend -joggers for everyone and going everywhere.

Love all the versions - the bright yellow and crisp white combines so well with your new joggers! Elegant and fresh/modern!

Bonnie

Those pants are really versatile. My favorite is #5.

unfrumped

I really like how you've styled them with the jacket and the fresh, happy colors. Breath of spring!

The fact that these jogger style pants aren’t made of cotton jersey knit or French terry elevates them above workout kit or loungewear IMO. You’ve been very creative with your styling, and I see your outfits as being true to who you are, all the while experimenting with a trend. Very well done. My favourites are the ‘sportier’ looks, and I really like how you’ve combined warm and cool neutrals in outfit #2.

Thank you ALWAYS TRYING, SLIM CAT, BONNIE, UNFRUMPED and RUNCARLA. You are very nice. I'm glad that you like my new style.
ALWAYS TRYING, I am honored by your comment " a super model for this trend..." Thanks.

Glory

These new joggers look great. They are very luxe and polished looking. My fave is with the jacket.

Yes, I like #5! You have great style!

Thank you kindly GLORY and AJ. I'm glad you like them.

Well I’m with Liesbeth Mirjana. I don’t like the pants as such, but believe you have elevated them with your impeccable style. I like pic 1 with the yellow best, fits the sportier vibe, then secondly pics 4/5 which makes them more dressy as suits your usual style.
My favourite new top also has recycled polyester like your pants, and the fabric feels nice. I feel better about polyester with their recycling it! Otherwise I do still buy some new polyester because I don’t mind the feel of it and try to keep my clothes a long time plus wear them enough to reduce waste.

I like number 1 the best because of it's consistently sporty look and the color combination is unusual and yet looks totally great. I think the sneakers really make the look for me and I would probably like them with the other options too.

You just look so cute and fresh!

Jaime

Fantastic! I like them in the later pictures where you show the high waist. But the yellow looks great with grey also. And your hair looks good even without the hairdresser!

JENNI NZ, PHOEBE and SHEVIA thanks you for the lovely comments and compliments. I think that I will wear mostly with yellow , as my life style now with Covid changed as all of us. So I am happy that you like that.
JENNI NZ, this is my first item of recycled polyester and I am satisfied now.

Synne

Excellent styling! Very nice outfits. I want joggers like that! You make them look elegant and chic.

Minaminu

Very well done! I like how you styled them, you look very smart!

Thank you SYNNE, you can try in Zara, maybe you can find them.
MINAMINU, thank you.

Jules

Wow! You really nailed it! Unlike some other posters I do like the pants as seen in the Finds, but would have instantly dismissed them as a younger woman’s item. Much as I try to avoid that mindset, sometimes such is the effect of seeing something new on a conventionally young and slender model. So thank you for demonstrating so beautifully how wrong that mindset is. How many twentysomethings would be able to match your sophisticated wardrobe and styling?

I have more thoughts - I’m reminded of some olive green rayon joggers I bought 5+ years ago at the beginning of the joggers trend, hoping I could style them in some slightly dressier ways. They turned out to be too thin and wrinkly for that purpose. But I’m thinking the fact that yours are grey rather than black shows off the fact that the fabric is a little nicer in drape etc. Black joggers can be in a nice fabric but it doesn’t read the same way because all we see is the casual silhouette, maybe.
