Windbreaker pants, also called wind pants or shell pants, are light, a little crisp and usually cut wide. They sit somewhere between sweatpants and trousers, which is why they go with so much. Here are eight outfits, using the pants from our Orbit Set.
1. With the matching jacket
The full set is the classic. One color top to bottom, relaxed fit, sneakers. See how to style a windbreaker set.
2. With a heavy hoodie
A thick hoodie on top balances the wide leg. Match the color, like an olive hoodie with Olive Green pants, or go neutral with grey or cream.
3. With a plain white tee
The simplest summer fit. Works best with darker pants like Black Stone or Mocha.
4. With a denim jacket
Denim on top, shell on the bottom: two textures that look good together. Light-wash denim with black or brown pants.
5. With a graphic tee and a beanie
Streetwear basics. Pick up a color from the tee in the beanie, like the Redline beanie with red graphics.
6. With a crop top
For women, low-rise wind pants with the drawstring tied and a fitted crop top or bodysuit. Add sneakers and a shoulder bag.
7. With a puffer
In winter, a short puffer over a hoodie with wind pants keeps the outfit light on the legs and warm on top. More in how to layer a windbreaker for cold weather.
8. With a different color jacket
Mix two sets: a Arctic White jacket with Redline pants, or Midnight Camo with black. Keep the shoes neutral.
What shoes go with windbreaker pants?
Chunky sneakers, high-tops, basketball shoes and boots. The wide leg wants a shoe with some bulk; let the hem sit on top of it.
The Orbit pants have an elastic drawstring waist and a relaxed straight leg, and come with the jacket in every windbreaker set.
