Outfit Inspiration – 7 Ways to Style Joggers
A few weeks ago I shared 5 ways to style white jeans. I realized that there is another wardrobe staple that I have become obsessed with over the last couple of years, and that’s my pair of Athleta joggers. There are so many ways to style joggers. They are super versatile because:
- You can wear them to workout in or as part of a regular outfit
- They are super comfy
- They have a great fit and silhouette that is flattering for my figure
Lately, I’ve been trying to branch out in the ways I have been styling them. So, here is a little outfit inspiration – 7 ways to style black joggers.
Black Joggers + Striped Tank + Black Jacket + Animal Print Platform Sneakers
Full disclosure: These joggers were purchased full price from Athleta a few years ago. I forget exactly how much I paid but it was in the neighborhood of $90-ish. That’s way more than I ever paid for a single piece of clothing, then or now. But these have turned out to be a great investment because of how well they are made and how much I wear them. If you told me that I could only keep 10 pieces of clothing for the next year, these joggers would be one of the keepers.
This outfit includes:
Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Divided baseball style jacket thrifted for $6
Striped Tank top from LOFT that I received as a gift.
Platform animal print sneakers purchased on sale from Target for around $11
Black Joggers + Denim Sleeveless Shirt + Black Tank + Black Slide Sandals
I liked this outfit because it felt casual without feeling like I just came from the gym. Throwing a casual top and sandals into the mix is one of the easier ways to style joggers.

Denim sleeveless top purchased from Goodwill
Black tank top I received as a hand-me-down from a friend
Black slides that I purchased at Goodwill for my daughter but now wear
Black Joggers + Floral Short Sleeve Sweatshirt + Black Jacket + Floral Sneakers
Normally I don’t try to combine florals but I guess I was feeling adventurous this day. The Joy Lab jacket was a great thrift store find because I can remember seeing it in the store for full prices and passing on it. Later I found it at the thrift store for just $2!
This outfit includes:
Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Divided short sleeve floral sweatshirt thrifted for $2
Joy Lab black jacket thrifted for $2
Nike floral sneakers purchased from Poshmark
Black Joggers + Floral Short Sleeve Sweatshirt + White Sneakers
This was a travel outfit that I wore on our trip to Northern California. I guess I really liked the combo of this top with the jogger because I’ve repeated it a few times. This time I like the white sneakers because it gives it less of a “workout” look.

Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Divided short sleeve floral sweatshirt thrifted for $2
Superga sneakers thrifted for $6
Topshop white vegan leather jacket thrifted for $14
Black Joggers + Graphic T-shirt + White Moto Jacket + White Sneakers
I remember throwing this outfit together one morning when I literally only had 5 min to get ready. Looks like I maybe had time to draw in my eyebrows and put my hair up and that’s about it! Again, the versatility of the joggers means it can be worn even with a vegan leather jacket and not look out of place.

Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Graphic print tee thrifted for $1
Superga sneakers thrifted for $6
Topshop white vegan leather jacket thrifted for $14
Black Joggers + White Long Sleeve T-shirt + Denim Jacket + Pink Sneakers
The pop of pink of these sneakers is what gives this outfit interest. I purchased these Saucony kicks a few years ago after having foot surgery and literally only being able to wear sneakers. These had just the right cushion for me. I don’t wear them much anymore but maybe I’ll start bringing them back into rotation.
This outfit includes:
Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Halogen long sleeve t-shirt thrifted for $2
Old Navy denim jacket
Saucony Jazz sneakers purchased on Amazon
Black Joggers + Cropped Sweater + Floral Sneakers
This was a look that I essentially “upgraded” from a workout outfit by adding the sweater over my sports bra! But the cropped sweater works here because of the high waist of the joggers. What you can’t see pictured is that the back of the sweater is laced which gives it some fun visual interest.
This outfit includes:
Athleta joggers purchased from Athleta
Forever 21 cropped sweater thrifted for $2
Nike sneakers purchased from Poshmark
By my count it took a total of 17 pieces to create these 7 looks. That’s not necessarily “capsule wardrobe” worthy but It does go to show how you can swap out just a few things to create a lot of different looks.
