November’s mini-episode is about a fun, retro trend: track pants! Today’s track pants can be worn for working out and lounging, but we’ve also seen them paired with dressier pieces like oversized button-ups and chic sweaters. We talk about how to DIY your own – from the best fabrics to choose, to indie patterns, to those fun details like side stripes, snaps, and vents that you can add to your tried-and-true elastic waist pants pattern.
