Don't Sweat It

Or do, actually. Are you sitting down for this? One of the hottest trends to hit the Fall 2009 runways was sweatpants. That's right. And not just pants - blazers, vests, shorts, tops - sweat is sweet. The key to wearing it of course is a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e - otherwise, you'll just look like you're wearing sweatpants in public. Below, some inspiration from the FW09 Isabel Marant show:

All sweats. The thought of designer sweatpants makes me a little queasy, even if they are Isabel Marant, fashion's reigning Parisienne Queen of Cool, so I've of course done it my way by going to the no-fail one-stop shopping mecca - Old Navy. I bought a pair for $7.99 on sale in a soft heather grey, making sure that they fit like regular pants in the seat, and then cuffed the bottoms like they were boyfriend jeans, pushing up slightly on the leg. Pop on with a burnout tee, little boy's blue blazer, and killer heels and you've got one comfortable fashion week go-to outfit!
