I loved when sweatshirts came back into style for everyday wear. I mean what’s more comfy than a sweatshirt, and now I can wear it to work and around town and look chic, not lazy? Yeah, doesn’t get much better than that. But oh, I was wrong. Because the only thing better than a sweatshirt is a hoodie sweatshirt. So I was pretty excited to see my fave weekend loungewear pop up all over the street of NYC and all over my Instagram feed. Yep, everyone’s wearing hoodies and I’m not mad about it. The tricky thing with casual pieces like this is figuring out how to style a hoodie sweatshirt.
Yes, you can just throw one on with leggings and call it a day, but if you’re looking to make it more of an outfit, there are some tips to follow. Wear it with leggings on its own, or layer it with a jacket on top. A leather moto jacket adds edge, a Barbour coat, quilted jacket or barn jacket gives it a preppy twist, while an oversized blazer adds cool-girl polish. Or try a puffer vest or jacket to give it a sporty vibe. Or try a hoodie with grey or black jeans or a pair of straight leg denim and some sneakers for a casual-cool daytime look. To dress down skirts and dresses, try topping them with a hoodie and finishing the look with some .cool sneakers. The key to pulling off the look is to choose the right sweatshirt — avoid anything too oversized. A more fitted or cropped hoodie will look more polished and less sloppy.
