Here at Zando, we’d like to think that we cater to all style queens – be it fancy, slay, athleisure and even the lazy ones (We’re all about diversity over here). We know that every day isn’t always a fashion day, so we thought we’d do you a solid and show you how to put together a stylish off-duty look.
If you follow any one of the Kardashian-Jenners, the Hadids, Selena Gomez or any other popular scene kid on Instagram, you’ll probably have noticed a fashion trend slowly evolving – sweatshirts.
That’s right – lazy queens, your time is now! Women’s sweatshirts have officially become the go-to ‘cool kid’ cop and we are totally behind this trend. Once strictly reserved for athletes, gym freaks and couch potatoes, the underrated sweatshirt is revived with a stylish bang.
See below for our 4 key ways of styling this new-found staple.
1.Preppy & Printed Sweatshirts
Sweatshirts are a great alternative to knitted sweaters so do style them with your button-down shirts and tailored trousers to realise a preppy look. For extra style points, opt for a printed sweatshirt and shirt and print block like a pro. If you’re feeling conservative, a white shirt is always safe and fail-proof.
2.Athleisure
This one is perhaps the most obvious choice. Because sweatshirts usually come with corresponding bottoms, why not kick it old school and wear it as a set? They’re comfortable, they’re trendy and they are so fun to style. Give your look that extra hypebeast flavour with an oversized denim, leather or fur jacket and style it with some fresh white kicks or stiletto sandals to round out your athletic luxe look.
3.Hood Style
Looking to dial it down a bit? The timeless and trusted hoodie and jeans combo is your best bet. Take a stylish cue from your favourite insta-baddies and choose super tight skinny jeans and a slouchy logo hoodie to do the trick. Accessorise your look with a fanny pack, clout glasses and platform sneakers.
4.Cropped Cutie
We know that sweatshirts aren’t the most figure-flattering garments to sport, so if you’re in the mood for showing off a little bit, then you’re in for a treat.
Two words – cropped sweatshirts. It’s all about details with these, so cuts, rips, logos, studs and eyelets are all welcome. If you’re feeling a little creative, buy a plain one (or steal your BF’s) and start your very own DIY project by cutting it yourself. Team this with fishnet stockings and cargo pants and do the most on weekends.
As you can tell, the sweatshirt has become a versatile closet staple and we truly don’t know what we’d do if it didn’t exist. Whether you’re a trap queen or a nap queen, you need to invest in one of these, stat! Shop here.
