Adidas pants may seem like they're just athletic wear, but there are actually lots of ways you can create an outfit with them for any occasion. For a sporty look, pair a fitted sweatshirt or performance T-shirt with your pants. Layering a denim jacket or flannel over a shirt with the pants will have you ready for any daytime activities, while a pair of heels or a leather jacket can dress up your outfit even more.
