How To Style Track Pants

Track pants are turning into the new leggings, so as always, we’re sharing our favorite tips for styling this activewear trend for any occasion:

Movement

First and foremost, track pants are perfect for many different types of movement! Pair them with a t-shirt or sweatshirt and your favorite sneakers for an afternoon walk, a Lululemon Align tank or your favorite sports bra for your next pilates class, or layer them over leggings or biker shorts coming to/from a sweaty workout!

Casual Night Out

Dress up your track pants (aka the perfect pants to wear for a big meal out) by pairing them with an oversized sweater, a silk tank and leather jacket, or a long sleeve with a little sheen or sparkle! Add layered necklaces, statement earrings, or even a belt to really elevate the look.

Work Event / Business Casual Setting

Strike the balance between comfort and professionalism by pairing a more tailored pair of track pants with a crisp button-down or blazer. Bring the whole look together with a pair of loafers, block heels, or sleek flats.

Final Styling Tips & Notes

• Proportion is everything. Combine the relaxed bottom of a track pant with a more structured or fitted top (and vice versa) to avoid a sloppy silhouette.

• Mind your fabrics. Track pants in polished fabrics (coated, ponte, twill blends) elevate the look more than sporty mesh or jersey styles.

• Neutral base, accent pieces. Let the track pant be your foundation; use shoes, jackets, and accessories to signal your intent (sporty / casual / semi-formal).

• Tailoring matters. If your track pants are long, consider hemming or cuffing them so they don’t pool at your ankles — especially in the dinner or work versions.

• Confidence is key. Wear it like it’s meant to be dressed up — that mindset helps sell the look.
