Fuzzable
Whether you’re headed to college or you’re simply wanting to keep it low-key and don’t fancy dressing to the nines for work, the truth is that a hoodie is a great starting point.
Sure, some people might say they’re too casual and should be kept for winter walks and workouts, but the truth is that hoodies are perhaps the most versatile and useful clothing you can own.
Below, we’ve put together some of the ways you can style your hoodie and still look your best, whether you’re going into town for some shopping or you’re headed out with friends…
Keep it plain
Rather than choosing a hoodie that’s pink and patterned, stick to plain hoodies in neutral colors so that you can add your own style and twist, rather than letting your hoodie take over your look.
Indeed, you can dress them up by starting with a dark color, such as gray or black, and then add trainers and a pair of skinny jeans for a casual but smart appearance.
If you’re not interested in black or gray hoodies, then rich colors like maroon, camo, or navy can be alternatives, that will detract attention away from the garment and onto other clothing pieces.
Choose quality
Many people say that hoodies aren’t stylish or they’re cheap, but if you choose a high-quality hoodie, like an OtherLinks hoodie, then the hoodie naturally serves as a fashion statement on its own.
Indeed, there’s no point in going cheap – choose a hoodie made from high-quality materials that will stand the test of time.
Cotton jersey and brushed cotton are some favorites but we recommend trying on a few different styles to get your fit and find comfortable and breathable fabric – if you’re prone to get hot, a fleece hoodie is probably not the right option!
Go tight
If your body shape allows, then choose a fitted hoodie rather than an oversized, stretched hoodie that can make you look larger than you are. Indeed, ill-fitted hoodies are known to bunch up and accentuate the stomach area, so choose a slim fit design if you’re looking for a sleek and stylish silhouette, and don’t be afraid of trying on many styles to get the right fit.
Accessorize
Now that you’ve chosen the perfect hoodie, it’s time to add some accessories to finish off the look.
Many people choose to wear a beanie hat, for example, or a pair of glasses to get that celebrity “I don’t wanna be papped, leave me alone” look. Skinny jeans are a popular choice, too, as they help to create a slimline appearance, but you could choose to experiment with a skirt or a dress underneath if you’re looking for a casual, cheeky look for a day in the city.
Don’t write off hoodies – they’re stylish, comfortable, and are great for all weathers. The best part is that they go with virtually every outfit, so experiment and see what you come up with!
