Sharyn GreensteinIf you haven’t already, it might be time to retire some of your seen-better-days baggy sweatpants and stretched out hoodies to make shelf space for today’s stylish matching sweatsuits. Made of innovative fabrics and available in so many color options, this new crop of sweats are lighter, softer, and more breathable than our old standbys. While they still can be worn as separates, a matched set looks far more stylish and pulled together. An added benefit is that wearing one color head-to-toe elongates the body and makes us all look a bit taller and leaner. With a relaxed but not too baggy fit, these on-trend sweatsuits can be worn almost anywhere your day takes you.
Here are my edited selections of sweatsuits to suit all styles and budgets.

Outdoor Voices was founded in 2014 by a graduate of the Parsons School of Design. They have a cult following (including my daughter) and this lightweight cloudknit sweatsuit may just be the softest sweats you’ll ever wear.
