How to Style Side Stripe Joggers: From Home to the Airport

The trick to styling joggers is simple: keep the comfort, add a little structure, and let one elevated detail do the work. Our side stripe joggers were designed with exactly that in mind. The satin stripe down each leg and the matching waistband trim mean they look pulled together even before you have added anything, so they never tip into slouchy. Here is how to wear them, from a quiet day at home to the airport and beyond.

Start with comfort and structure

A soft jersey jogger with a fully elasticated waist is one of the most comfortable things you can wear. What stops it looking like loungewear is structure and detail. The satin side stripe gives instant polish, and pairing the joggers with something that has a defined shoulder, like a shoulder pad tee, balances the relaxed leg with a cleaner top half. Comfort and structure together is the whole formula.

The easiest outfit: a tonal coord

Worn with the matching Skylar Shoulder Pad T-Shirt - Black, the Perfect Side Stripe Joggers - Black make a clean, considered outfit with no thinking required. Prefer a little more cover when it is cooler? Swap the tee for the matching The Perfect Crew Neck Sweatshirt - Black for a tonal set that still looks deliberate. The same works in navy, vanilla, olive and biscuit, so you can keep it head-to-toe in one shade.

How to dress joggers up

Because the satin stripe already brings polish, it takes very little to make these feel smart. Tuck in a neat top and add a blazer over the top to draw a long line through the outfit. Swap trainers for a pointed flat, a loafer or even a heel, and add a little gold jewellery. The elasticated waist stays hidden under a tucked top, so the only thing anyone reads is the clean line and the stripe. A crisp shirt worn open over a vest, with the joggers below, is another easy way to lift them for lunch or the office.

The airport formula

These are the joggers many of you already travel in, and for good reason. The temptation at the airport is leggings and a hoodie, but that rarely feels like the start of a holiday. Side stripe joggers give you the same comfort with far more polish. Build the outfit in three light layers: a close base layer such as a vest or tee, a polished middle layer like a shirt or the shoulder pad tee, and a cashmere blend knit or a sweatshirt around the shoulders for when the air conditioning is fierce. You arrive looking considered, not crumpled, and the jersey does not crease in transit.

Questions we are often asked

What top goes with joggers?

A neat top with a little structure works best: a shoulder pad t shirt, a fine knit, or a crisp shirt tucked or half-tucked. It balances the relaxed leg and keeps the look intentional. A matching tee or sweatshirt is the easiest tonal option.

Can you wear joggers and still look smart?

Yes. Choose joggers with a polished detail like a satin side stripe, keep the waistband hidden under a tucked top, add a blazer, and swap trainers for a loafer, flat or heel. The result reads as relaxed tailoring rather than loungewear.

What shoes work with side stripe joggers?

Low trainers keep them casual, while loafers, pointed flats or a low heel dress them up. Because the leg is tapered to the ankle, a narrower shoe keeps the line clean.
