Give Your Sweatshirt Some Styling Love
Don’t Relegate Wearing Your Sweatshirt with Joggers. Here’s How to Change It Up.
Let’s be honest… when we throw on a sweatshirt, it’s usually a default choice. Maybe you’re running errands, lounging at home, or just don’t feel like putting in the effort. I get it. But what if I told you that same sweatshirt could look effortlessly chic—without losing its comfort?
Here’s the key: It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it.
LET’S AMP UP THIS SWEATSHIRT’S STYLE FACTOR.
SWAP JOGGERS FOR JEANS.
A structured bottom instantly makes your look more polished. Go for dark-wash jeans or a relaxed straight-leg for a modern feel.
DITCH THE SNEAKERS. ADD HEIGHT.
You don’t have to go sky-high—a sleek heeled boot, pointed-toe flats, or even platform loafers can instantly elevate the look.
BELT IT!
A belt isn’t just an accessory—it defines your waist and gives shape to an otherwise oversized piece. Try a structured leather belt or a chic chain belt for extra polish.
ACCESSORIZE
A sweatshirt alone? Meh. But add a statement earring, layered necklaces, or a structured handbag, and suddenly it feels intentional.
ELEVATE YOUR BAG
Swap the casual tote for something structured and polished—think crossbody, mini shoulder bag, or a sleek clutch.

OTHER STYLING TIPS TO NOTE
TUCK IT!
If you love a cozy, oversized sweatshirt, tuck the front into your jeans or do a cropped half-tuck to keep your proportions balanced.
PLAY WITH LAYERING
Over a button-down shirt: Let the collar and cuffs peek out for a preppy-meets-polished vibe. This works especially well with a structured sweatshirt.
Under a blazer or tailored coat: The contrast between relaxed and structured makes for an effortlessly cool, elevated look.
With a longline vest: A sleeveless tailored vest over a sweatshirt adds depth and makes the outfit look more put-together.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT FIT
Slightly oversized = intentional. A boxy or slouchy sweatshirt can work if you balance it out with a slimmer bottom (straight-leg jeans, leggings, or a midi skirt).
Cropped or tucked: If your sweatshirt is oversized, a French tuck or cropped hem keeps proportions in check.
EXPERIMENT WITH COLOR OR TEXTURE
Monochrome looks chic. Try an all-neutral outfit (cream sweatshirt + white trousers + tan accessories) for a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.
Mix textures. A sweatshirt with leather, satin, or structured denim creates contrast and makes the outfit feel more styled.
DRESS IT UP WITH A MIDI SKIRT
A sweatshirt + satin midi skirt + chic boots or heels = one of the easiest ways to look polished while staying comfortable.
Bottom line? Your casual pieces don’t have to look sloppy. A few simple swaps can take your sweatshirt from “Netflix binge” to “off-duty model” real quick.
With love and style,
