The Secret to Looking Great in Joggers
It’s in Choosing the Right Size

The season for strolling about outdoors and getting active is here; and the pants to wear are joggers, which feature snug, sporty hem ribbing. A draw cord at the waist ups the ease, and the cut tapers below the knees to gives it a classy look. This summer, consider pairing them to large tops and creating loose, laid-back silhouettes. A look that’s far more in tune with today’s style is yours when you choose the right size and create the perfect balance between the tops and bottoms.

Joggers generally have chunky silhouettes that produce a laid-back feel, but owing to tapering below the knees and snug hem ribbing they never come across as baggy or scruffy. Coordinate the top and bottoms in different shades of gray, and choose breezy white for the underlying T-shirt and socks. A chicer feel is yours when you coordinate the peripherals, like shoes and a back pack, in black.

“If you roll up the ribbing’s back half, the hem gains an accent with depth and a much more active silhouette results.” — Junichi Nishimata, stylist

Match a large shirt made of a classy
fabric to rugged jogger cargos

These new jogger cargo pants have the rough and tough look of military pants, owing to their six pockets, so balance out the rugged feel and create a classy appearance by opting for an extra fine cotton shirt. Even if you choose a larger size, the shirt won’t appear baggy because its waist and armholes are narrow to begin with. If anything, the oversized silhouette fosters a tasteful degree of looseness and the crisp, breezy fabric gains a more vibrant appearance.

Use different shades of the same color to
polish a pairing of a polo shirt and jogger cargos

The olive green model of the new jogger cargo pants offers plenty of versatility, but because it has the rugged feel of military wear, it’s important to choose the right size and color for the top. Consider a large, dark green DRY pique polo shirt. Matching items of the same color is easier than you think. Just coordinate different shades. Then slide a white crew neck tee underneath to establish both contrast and cohesion.

When letting a plain tee hang
out, choose chunky bottoms

Be careful when leaving a long tee hanging out over joggers. The wrong pant-leg width can result in a crude imbalanced look. The important thing then is to bring as much volume as possible to the lower half. Take this T-shirt for example. Its larger size results in the arm seams hanging slightly past the shoulders. In this case, choose jogger pants that are one size bigger than what you usually wear to bring attention downward and produce a good balance.

When tucking a tee in, go
classy with DRY-touch joggers

These joggers are made of an ultra-stretchy, DRY tech fabric, so they’re perfect for the hot and humid weather of summer, remaining silky and light. And because they have a lustrous, chic feel, they look great in minimalist outfits in which white is the accent. For the top, choose an oversized crew neck tee that has a wide torso and a drop-shoulder design. Casually tucking in just the tee’s front produces a loose drape and a nuanced feel in the look and fosters a contemporary silhouette.
