Say goodbye to slouchy slothy and sloppy and hello to funky, fitted fabulous. Follow J-Lo's lead and look for sweats with smallish tops and low-riding bottoms (just not quite this low, please!). Want to add layers? Try sweetening your sweats with a lace top and finish your look with a pair of funky new trainers. Who says fashion can't be comfy?
