How to Style Joggers: 7 Easy Outfits That Work Beyond the Gym
Short answer: joggers look polished when they fit well through the seat and thigh, taper to a clean cuff at the ankle and come in a solid, neutral colour. Pair them with a plain tee or a polo and clean sneakers for an everyday look, add a sweatshirt for cool evenings, and keep the top half a little smarter than the trousers if you want the outfit to work beyond the gym.
Below are seven outfits built around Ludic Core Joggers, a super-relaxed jogger with an elasticated waist and a zip pocket, in Bark Brown, Moon Grey and Classic Black. The same rules work with any jogger you own.
What makes joggers look polished?
- Fit: relaxed through the seat and thigh, but not baggy at the knee.
- The cuff: an elasticated ankle that sits on or just above the shoe, so the fabric does not pool.
- Colour: black, grey, brown and navy look intentional; save brights and big logos for the gym.
- Fabric: a soft, smooth knit that holds its shape reads smarter than thin, shiny track fabric.
- Details: a zip pocket or clean seams look neater than drawstrings hanging to the knee.
7 easy jogger outfits
1. The clean everyday look
Classic Black joggers, a white or black Core T Cotton and white sneakers such as the Nova Play in Chalk White. It is the simplest combination there is, and it always looks put together.
2. Smart-casual
Joggers with the Core Polo tucked loosely or left out, and the Enhanced Canvas Slip On. The collar and the pique texture lift the whole outfit, which makes it the version most likely to pass at a relaxed workplace.
3. Cool evenings and flights
Moon Grey joggers with the fleece-lined Evoke S sweatshirt over a tee. It is warm without bulk, which makes it ideal for air-conditioned cabins, cinemas and evenings outdoors when the temperature drops.
4. Weekend layers
Bark Brown joggers, a plain tee and the Weekend Shirt worn open as a light overshirt. The fruit-named colours, from Chiku to Canary Melon, add colour without trying too hard.
5. Recovery day
Joggers, a soft tee and Sliders 2.0 with socks. It is the outfit for after a long session, a rest day or a quick coffee run.
6. Errands with a cap
Black joggers, a bright Chroma T and the Loop Cap. Let the tee carry the colour and keep everything else neutral.
7. Travel day
Joggers, a tee and the Evoke S for the plane, the Enhanced Canvas Low on your feet, and The Sport Bag as a carry-all with a sleeve that slides over your suitcase handle.

Can you wear joggers to work?
In the UAE, dress codes range from formal to very relaxed, so check yours: joggers suit creative and start-up offices and casual days, and are best kept for weekends elsewhere. When you do wear them to work, pair them with a polo or a shirt rather than a gym tee, and with clean sneakers rather than running shoes.
Getting the size right
Core Joggers are sized by waist: 28–30, 32–34 and 36–38 inches, with lengths of 37, 38 and 39 inches. The elasticated waist covers the full range of each size. The fit is relaxed by design, so stay with the size that matches your waist. The Ludic size guide lists every measurement.
How to wash joggers so they last
- Machine wash at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours, and skip fabric softener; that is what the Ludic Core Joggers label asks for.
- Hang them to dry in the shade straight after washing. The Core Joggers label says no tumble drying, and high heat is what makes knits shrink and fade.
- Close the zip before washing so it does not snag other clothes.

FAQs
What should you wear with joggers?
A plain tee, a polo or a sweatshirt on top, and clean sneakers or slip-ons on your feet. Keep the colours simple and let one piece stand out.
Can you wear joggers to work?
In casual or creative workplaces, yes: pair them with a polo or shirt and clean sneakers. Where the dress code is formal, keep joggers for weekends and travel.
Should joggers be tight at the ankle?
They should be snug enough at the cuff to sit neatly on or just above your shoe, without squeezing. The leg above can be relaxed.
What is the difference between joggers and sweatpants?
Joggers are slimmer through the lower leg with a cuffed ankle, so they look tidier; sweatpants are usually looser all the way down and are made for lounging.
How do Ludic Core Joggers fit?
They have a super-relaxed fit and are sized by waist (28–30, 32–34, 36–38 inches) with an elasticated waistband and a zip pocket.
How do I stop joggers from shrinking?
Wash them cold and inside out, and tumble dry on low or dry them in the shade. High heat is the main cause of shrinking.
