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, becauseOprah Winfreyjust showed us how todress up your sweatswith a genius fashion hack.

Recently, we’ve noticed that the media mogul has been reaching for atried-and-true formulawhile hostingThe 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.
