Redrawing The Line: Women's Drawstring Sweatpants

It used to be that no woman would even think twice about leaving the house in her

drawstring sweatpants, let alone answer the door for company wearing that cozy house-wear.' But the trends in drawstring sweatpants have been hard to miss in recent years, starting with what we like to call the 'Juicy Phenomenon,' which officially kicked off the fad that made innerwear your most prominent and statement-making outerwear.

Of course, the drawstring sweatpants + Uggs combination was soon to follow, creating an even more intentional fashion trend on city streets with items that used to belong on the living room couch. For women, this trend in drawstring sweatpants has made a huge leap between how a woman looks and how she feels.

The Look

Finally, your favorite sweats don't have to be baggy and embarrassing. Between waking up and running errands you won't skip a beat wearing a stylish pair of drawstring sweatpants like the 'Henna Embroidery' classics from Lucky Brand. The fabulous flared leg makes these easy to pair with running shoes, comfy wedges, or ' yes ' even your Ugg boots.' The paisley embroidery and flying dove designs not overdone, featured in warm earth tones for easy matching with any top or hoodie.

If you're going for a sportier look, or perhaps want to take a quick jaunt to the gym in the middle of the day without changing, we recommend the fashionable yet functional 'FT Pants' with satin trim from Ecko. The ribbed waistband creates lasting comfort for any length workout while the stylish brand embellishment keeps you looking in style all the time!

The Feel

But we all know that drawstring sweatpants have not come this far in the fashion world because of the way they look! Their increasing popularity has a lot to do with the way women feel while wearing them. It was high time the lady's casual wardrobe got a spicy, flirty facelift from the days of leggings and bulky workout pants.' Customer favorites come from brands like Juicy Couture and Madison Los Angeles, who invest some extra time and money to find the softest materials and design them into the most flattering shapes.

The 'Splendid Distressed Fleece Sweat Pant' from Madison is a prime example of why we love drawstring sweatpants for their look and feel! Trendy contrast stitch detail and extra-wide waistband is nicely paired with super soft, worn in fleece fabric. These cozy capris are perfect as a cover up over your swimsuit on vacation or an easy Sunday morning with the coffee and the newspaper.

Keeping it Real

Drawstring sweatpants have truly allowed the working woman to find a little bit of legroom in her busy life. We've even found some fabulous solid black flared pairs that could pass as work pants perfect for the office!

Any way you look at it, the trends in drawstring sweatpants have evolved from a fashion need and good intentions, whether or not you're too keen on having a logo written across your rear!
