Be Lazy, But Don’t Look It

September 16, 2009 Posted in Fashion, Style

groovepant_blog500x3331 When it comes to fashion, us college girls have standards to uphold. In the fall we must waltz into lecture in a pair of killer leather boots and a blazer. When winter hits, it’s our chance to show off all of our scarves and that cute button down pea coat. Then we enter spring, when mom ships us all of our jean skirts, sundresses and cute tanks.

By Brianna

But every single one of us has that day (or week) when real clothes just aren’t going to happen, whatever the reason:

1. You partied way too late and can barely open your crusty eyes. And…the walls may still be spinning.

2. It is below zero and blizzarding outside your dorm window, and your linoleum floor sends an icy chill up your leg when you get out of bed.

3. You have a test/essay due and spent the last 26 hours awake…at your computer.

Bottom line: You are not squeezing into jeans, a dress or any other article of clothing that requires zipping/squeezing/thinking. You are wearing sweats and UGG’s and that’s that. Luckily, while sweats can hardly be considered proper attire for any public venue, there are tons of new styles and options out there that won’t have everyone shooting you dirty looks as you run into class 20 minutes late.

So, if you’re gonna go with sweats, be a dear and go with a pair of these: comfy enough for an off-day, but cute enough that no one has to know.

The classic Juicy track pant. Expensive? Yes. But also flattering on your butt and super cheap when you consider how often you’ll wear these.

The flat front on these Gap pants won’t add bulk and the non-fleece material makes them a much fancier alternative to those sorority butt pants you’re always walking around in.

Twisted Heart sweats are pricey, but they have a lot of great details that set them apart from your standard sweats. Like the fact that they are long for us tall girls who don’t want to wear boy’s sweatpants.

I love the detail at the knee. These aren’t your standard I-just-went-for-a-run capris – they fit close to the body and can be paired with a cute tank or cami for a cute and comfy class ensemble.

I love Lululemon groove pants, but these are even better – they look like denim! No one has to know that the waist is elastic.

how hard is it to just wear pants? Don't be the sterotypical college girl that wears these pants, uggs, and huge bug eyed sunglasses. Trust me. The only reason you get any attention in this outfit is because you forgot to wear a thong and now everyone can see a panty line in your cute GAP sweats. Ew. Yuck. Gross.

Who gives a shit what you wear to class. If someone wants to wear sweats, fine! You're not going to class to impress anyone you're going to learn. And I highly doubt the material you're being taught has a preference for girls in jeans or girls in sweats. They're clothes people! Get over it!

Su – Seriously, sometimes a girl just doesn't want to deal with the discomfort of wearing jeans or a dress. I mean really, how hard is that to get? Who gives a damn? I wear what I feel like wearing and if it seems like I'm the "sterotypical college girl" its because society puts that label on me, not because I'm trying to be. Like Casey said, I'm not going to impress anybody – I'm going to learn. End of story.

sweatpants are always going to look lazy… unless you're working out in them, haha.

I have to agree with the anti-sweats people. I think the sweats look is lazy, and I wouldn't be caught dead in them unless I'm at the gym. But hey, to each her own.

I love the last pair – I wouldn't wear them to class though, just to lounge around in at home. I've always been afraid that if I wore sweats to class I'd be too comfortable and fall asleep. haha

Screw sweatpants, the good ol' skinnies look so much nicer for your legs. They are hot, sweatpants are NOT.

End of story.

The only time you'll ever catch me in sweats is at home. I despise it when people go to class (or in the general public) looking like they just rolled out of bed; put some effort people!

Casey, you're so annoying.

I would sweat pants, but with a tight-ish pretty top, not a baggy one/ And do my hair nice so you KNOW I put effort in.

Imagine it, pretty top, nice hair, nice sweats, = PRETTY NICE!!
