When the cold weather hits then it means dressing for weather that involves sudden downpours at the start of the day and freak heat waves by lunchtime. So deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge, or at least it was. Let us introduce you to your new wardrobe go-to – the humble sweatshirt. If you still think of sweatshirts as just something to wear to the gym, it’s time to think again. You can go casual and wear yours with jeans and trainers for a nice spin on your usual style or stand out from the crowd and layer up a lightweight one underneath a suit jacket for a clever modern take. Whether your style is more classic than cool; this season, forget what you’ve been told – do sweat it.
Shop SweatshirtsClassic doesn’t mean boring – try colourful neutrals like blue or green that will go with all the basics in your wardrobe. Stick to regular boxy cuts, though, for a universally flattering fit that stops it becoming too casual. Just pair with tailored trousers or straight leg denim for a smart look with added cool.
Update a true classic with retro pieces like Harry Styles or an old school sports-inspired style like Zayn Malik and Joe Jonas. Vintage vibes are bang on trend at the moment so there’s no need to worry about looking like a throwback. These celebs prove that sweatshirts are the ultimate throw-on-and-go staple for extra cool points – just add a dash of nonchalance and you’re off.
The all-American classic is so much more versatile than its name suggests. Follow Justin Timerlake and David Beckham’s leads – pair with your coolest kicks and dressed down denim, or even smart jogging bottoms (we told you sweatshirts were versatile), for maximum impact that doesn’t compromise on laid-back style. In this gang, anything goes.
