I waited for the “huge” thunderstorm all day today. Rainy days make me want to stay in with a cup of coffee (or seven) and write, and then binging on Netflix in between breaks. Now all of this is wonderful on its own, but rocking a comfortable outfit in the entire process (not including sweatpants) is the real game changer.

I will say this time and time again, sweat pants are for the gym, or exercising in general, only. When I like to feel comfortable, I’m talking wearing leggings, shorts or my personal seasonal favorite: the wide-legged pant.

These printed wide-legged pants made their debut last year, and I think this will be another year where they will reign. They are the perfect mix of casual/chic. These wide-legged pants are also very easy to keep casual like I did today, or even dress up by adding some heels and a plain tank top.

I would not suggest wearing a top looser than the one I have in this pic because I think it makes the outfit look a little sloppy, and could unfortunately be mistaken for pajamas, and that’s never really the goal for an outfit, at least not for me.

Don’t let a gloomy day make you dress any less fierce. Make comfortable look chic instead of sloppy.
