It can feel hard to peel off your sweatpants and put on something more out-of-the-house appropriate these days. Well, apparently you don’t have to, because Oprah Winfrey just showed us how to dress up your sweats with a genius fashion hack.
Recently, we’ve noticed that the media mogul has been reaching for a tried-and-true formula while hosting The Oprah Podcast — she’s been wearing joggers paired with warm tops like turtleneck sweaters, long-sleeve blouses, and more.
Joggers are a fancier swap for roomy or wide-leg sweatpants, which can appear more casual. And they’re definitely a smart choice for cold weather thanks to the tapered silhouette that traps heat. For those looking to copy Oprah’s cold-weather uniform, we’ve found 10 pairs you can dress up or down — and they start at just $10.

Stars like Martha Stewart have been wearing espresso lately, and you can hop on board with these espresso joggers by Spanx. They’re made with stretchy fabric that’s moisture and sweat-wicking, so you can even exercise in them. In addition to brown, they’re available in dark green and heather gray. And you can snag them in sizes XS through 3XL and three inseams.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Pant
Cozy Earth
Both Oprah and PEOPLE shopping editors are fans of Cozy Earth, and these joggers made the media mogul’s Favorite Things List in 2020. They’re made from a breathable viscose fabric that’s soft on the inside and outside. The cuffed hem skims the ankles, allowing you to show off your shoes. Choose from seven colors, like purple, green, blue, and white.
