Remember a couple of weeks ago, when we chatted about Refinery 29's claim that one could successfully wear sweatpants on date night? Well. Meet P. She's an attorney turned stay-at-home-mom to a two and a half year old son, and she just rocked sweatpants on a recent date night. P wrote:
"I wanted to share a photo of my date night outfit with my new (beloved) Splendid sweatpants. I have been wearing them in both the black & the grey a TON, with t shirts and flats and even sockless sneakers (especially to/from the gym), but I think they also work with heels for a night out. Bonus: I felt like I was wearing pajamas! (I basically was.)"
wearing:
Soft blazer: Agnes b., almost 10 y.o. and still my favorite clothing item ever. (S's Note: found a fab option in comfy ponte)
Pants: Splendid
Shoes: Jimmy Choo, also almost 10 y.o. (S's Note: Oooo….or maybe these? They're no Choo, but under $100)
Tee: Madewell
Necklace: Stella & Dot Tessa Necklace
Watch: Casio
I mean seriously wow. P, I love everything you've got goin' on here (and talk about the power of a well-placed necklace. Sheesh. You managed to make both sweatpants and a tee date-night worthy.) LOVE it. On a side note, I'm kinda obsessed with your Casio watch to wear with, uh, everything this summer.
Thank you SO much for the pics and inspiration!

I LOVE this look! You look fabulous; so happy you sent the photo. I remember the post, and P’s comment, but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to pull that off- now I do. Thank you!! xo
You look so chic and comfortable!
Thank you so much! Glad you like the look. 😀
So comfy I couldn’t believe it! I just had to wear heels to add some discomfort in there.
Thanks Beth!!! Sweatpants 4 Evah!
I NEED these pants but they only have one size and color option available now. Bummer :-/
Any other suggestions?
Love comfort on date night. However, I could not afford to go on said date if I spent that much on one pair of sweatpants. Any budget option suggestions?
I hear ya, I struggled with buying these sweats, cause they are just SWEATS, though I’m the kind of person who has a tiny closet full of stuff that I wear to death (hence my 10 y.o. items!) so I don’t second guess myself too much.
I haven’t seen some of the Aerie ones in person, but they, too, look promising: http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/category.jsp?catId=cat5270002 — it all depends on the fabric and how thin/drapey it is, I think. That said, I had a few of their t-shirts that I liked, but didn’t last long until they wore out, so that may happen, too. But still worth investigating. Report back with any intel!
Did you check other sites? I got mine at an actual store, maybe one near you has them?
Totally just went and purchased that Casio watch on amazon for $15 – perfect for the spring & summer. Love the sweatpants look too – so comfy and chic! 🙂
Hear Hear! LOL
