No longer reserved for the late night study sesh or the occasional case of Sunday Scaries, your sweatshirt collection is in need of a re-vamp, and we’ve got just the solution. Ladies & gentle-friends, we give you 5 fashion-forward sweatshirts to take your wardrobe up a notch.
Model Off-Duty
It’s the age of the influencer and all you have to do is open up Instagram to see your favorite creator decked to the nines in Gucci and Louis Vuitton logomania. For a fresh spin on streetwear, we picked this graphic crewneck from Ganni. It’s understated and more affordable, yet still high-fashion.
How we’d style it: Layer this piece under a vintage oversized blazer from your local thrift and accessorize with a pair of gold hoops and chunky, tortoise-shell shades for a Hailey Bieber inspired-look, or throw it over a turtleneck and slide into your favorite pair of wide-legged denim and voila! You’ve got an inconspicuously chic ‘fit in under 2 minutes.
When in Doubt, Set it Out.
Matching sets have been having their moment the past few years, and we’re happy to report they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. We’re totally drooling over this sherpa sweatshirt from Good American.
How we’d style it: With stilettos and a sleek bun for an effortlessly classy, “oh, this old thing?” head-turner. Alternatively, dress it down with white sneakers and a cross-body bag like this half-mooned stunner from Polene or this mini bag from Jacquemus. You’re an instant fashion icon.
Green, Green, Green
Speaking of sets, they’re a versatile choice for those of us still straddling the line between Summer and Fall, either in climate or in state of mind. As confirmed by the catwalks of Fashion Week world-wide, Kelly Green is set to be the “It” color of the year. Fortunately, Kelly Green has been making headway for quite some time (see: Bottega Veneta’s Kelly Green catwalks of Spring Summer 2021!), so it’s safe to say it’s here for the long haul. The best part? It’s one of those special colors that looks phenomenal all year long.
How we’d style it: Staud makes some of our favorite pieces; timeless, wearable essentials built to last. With a partial front-zipper closure and drawstring hem, this versatile Kelly Green and white sweatshirt is a total eye catcher. And of course, the matching terry drawstring shorts are just too cute to pass up. Seriously, it would be difficult to not look fabulous in this set. Rock it with these lace-ups from Veja and you’re ready to go!
Professionally Comfortable
There was a time when, for many, it was virtually unheard of to wear a sweatshirt to the office. Though, even then, we think this “is that really a sweatshirt?” sweatshirt from Agolde would’ve been permissible. The turtleneck and exaggerated barrel cuffs make this a stand out option, whether you’re tuning in from your couch or a cubicle. It perfectly marries the style and professionalism of a blouse with the comfort and convenience of a sweatshirt and will be sure to earn you a few “where did you get that?” remarks.
How we’d style it: With leather trousers or leggings like this high-waisted second-skin pair takes this sweatshirt to the next level, or keep it casual with jeans and one of our favorite pairs of boots.
It’s All in the Details
We love exaggerated shoulders, and this ruffle sweatshirt from Clare V is no exception. As a matter of fact, if you’re looking for a sweatshirt thats “not like other sweatshirts *insert quirky emoji here*,” keep an eye out for exaggerated collars, sleeves and shoulders. These features work almost as an accessory in and of themselves to really take an outfit to the next level.
How we’d style it: Rock this with a pair of high-waisted mom jeans to complete your evolution into a trendy Erewhon-going, hot-yoga doing girl about town.
