1. Unique Sweatpants

I get it, sweatpants are the ultimate lazy cocktail when you think of styling a sweatshirt. In this case we are running with that narrative. Similar to the popular barrel jeans, these are barrel sweatpants. However, this look is all in the details and accessories. To elevate this look we went with a fun knit hat, chunky boots, a teddy coat, and a puffer tote bag. Sweatshirt and pants, reimagined.

2. Satin Skirt

For this look we took our sweatshirt and went totally fabulous. We paired a frilly satin skirt with a moto leather jacket and thigh high boots. We accessorized with a baseball cap and a fun printed mini bag.

3. Leather Blazer

Aside from styling a sweatshirt, every babe should own a leather (or faux) blazer. We elevated our sweatshirt by pairing with the latter and a crisp pair of light wash denim. To complete it/ give this outfit a night out twist we added a thigh high pair of boots and a metallic clutch.

4. Pleated Skirt

Along with a sweatshirt, every babe should have a pleated skirt in her wardrobe. Go for a preppy look by pairing your sweatshirt with a denim button down, a pleated skirt, baseball cap, and a top handle bag. For shoes try a pair of motorcycle boots.

5. Leopard Skirt

Leopard is in. That’s the statement. Take your sweatshirt to the next level and style it with your fave leopard print skirt and motorcycle boots. One way you can easily accessorize is with a large tote and leather jacket.

6. Trousers

Let’s get cozy yet business casual. We can all collectively agree there’s nothing like a great pair of tailored trousers. Elevating our sweatshirt to a preppy level, we hid a blue and white striped button down shirt under cozy piece. Again, leopard is in… with that we took a leopard print pair of kitten heel mules. For a bag a structured shoulder bag. Cute, chic, preppy, perfect.
