How to Dress Up While Dressing Down

For those who hate to dress up for all those fancy holiday parties, Fruit of the Loom has a solution for you.

The maker of all things underwear and sweats has come up with three fleece outfits guaranteed to keep you warm and cozy during the big season while looking like you are ready to hit the cocktail-party trail or have a fireside chat with Santa.

The fleece "suits" in the "professionals collection" were created by printing a variety of outfits on the sweats. The three classic looks include the "business time," the "country clubber" and the "trail blazer." The "business time" sweat suit - with pinstripes and all - makes you like as if you are wearing an actual business suit. The "country clubber" has an image of a pink gingham shirt complete with a cardigan wrapped around the neck for a hoity-toity appearance.

"Sweat suits are traditionally known as comfortable, lounging, weekend apparel, but now with a new twist you can get the best of both worlds. The professionals collection provides a fun way to make a fashion statement – from the couch to the conference room," said Bryse Yonts, brand communications manager at Fruit of the Loom.

Fruit of the Loom manufactured a limited run of the professionals collection to raise awareness about the diverse assortment of everyday fleece apparel.
