Gone are the days of tight festive clothes. That probably comes in handy for everyone, because the delicious meals mean that hardly anyone can get their zip to close. How fitting that a fashion no-go now becomes an absolute styling highlight!

We are talking about sweatpants, of course. While designer Karl Lagerfeld was still scolding the it-piece with his quote "Anyone who wears sweatpants has lost control of their life", it is now being deliberately showcased and creates a cool, stylish and self-confident outfit. 

Our favourite sweatpants in light grey can easily be combined with tennis socks and sneakers. On the other hand, you can be more dressed up on top: elegant blazers, classic coats and teddy coats ensure that the casual look doesn't look sloppy. Break up the style with jewellery and chic handbags to create a cool off-duty look that will give you a comfortable and chic start to the New Year.
