How to Wear Sweatpants Outside of the House this Winter

John Mayer and Jamie Bell have the key to this high low combination.

You should already own a topcoat (we talk them up a lot, after all). If you don't, go buy one and then report back to this article. Thanks to the topcoat's tailored structure, it looks great over any outfit, from a suit, to jeans-and-a-tee, to tweed pants and nordic-inspired knit—just about everything other than a pair of shorts. And if you're anything like John Mayer or Jamie Bell (and aren't we all?), then a sleek topcoat is the answer to those lazy days when you want to venture outside in your sweatpants. When it comes to wearing your most casual pair of pants in public, this thigh-length coat conveniently covers your messiest bits (sweaty tees included) and makes you look taller and instantly more pulled together.

And whether you're headed to an actual workout/gym in your coziest bottoms or just making a grocery run, this high low combination is a clever way to show that you're a man of stylish means (read: neither douche-y or a straight up mess, both of which you'll hit at warp speed if you wear sweatpants with a cropped puffer).

Want to go the extra mile? Keep your sweats, tee, hoodie, shades, beanie, and topcoat in neutral menswear territory (we're talking black, gray, or navy). This minimal color combo will help slim you down and give you some of that good Justin Theroux/Keanu Reeves badass appeal. The best part is you don't need to be anywhere near an elliptical machine for this outfit to make sense. All you need is a weekend, or any other reason to lounge hard—like say a week off from work and ample time to go day drinking like a pro. Just check with your family before you wear the sweats to grandma's house.
