The first pair of sweatpants was introduced in the 1920s. They are typically made of cotton or polyester, or sometimes even a blend of both. They are identified by the elastic waistband attached with drawstring. Most sweatpants have pockets, and some don’t. They used to be loose and baggy, but over the years they have changed and now have tighter shapes, with better flexibility and offer immense comfort. When styled correctly, they can be worn from day to night. The draped fabric makes it very comfortable. It is very important to be careful when choosing the right fit or you could risk making fashion mistakes. Pair it with the right blouse or blazer and a pair of shoes for a great look.
