2020 has really been the year of trendy basics. Between lots of lounging around and a desire to dress more casual in and out of the house, basics have taken on a whole new level of importance. Of course, being the style-minded people we are, we not just going to wear any old basic clothing item. It's going to be a slightly cooler, more updated version and today I'm adding one more of these trendy basics to my list of favorites: oversized crewneck sweatshirts.
I've been loving the style which feels fresher than your average hoodie and fashion people have also taken a liking to them, too. All over my feed, I'm seeing loads of outfits with sweatshirts that make the formerly-boring basic look anything but. Whether they're layering one over a collared shirt for a preppy feel or styling it with loose jeans and sneakers for a weekend vibe, it's working. Continue on to see seven of these 'fits so you can understand exactly where my obsession stems from.
Add in this combo consisting of an oversized crewneck, loose ripped jeans, and gold jewelry to your outfit rotation for casual days.
Shop the look:
Layer a blazer over a crewneck sweatshirt for a very '90s Princess Diana-inspired feel. A baseball cap adds to the retro appeal.
Shop the look:
The prep-school is trending hard right now and a logo crewneck is a key way to get in on the look. Layer yours over a collared shirt for extra polish.
Shop the look:
A coordinating sweatsuit will never fail you. Elevate the loungewear when you style a long trench coat on top and add bright accessories.
Shop the look:
Fashion people love to tie their sweaters and sweatshirts over their shoulders for a sophisticated look. A tee and jeans make a solid base for this styling trick.
Shop the look:
Layer yours over a collared shirt—all the cool kids are doing it.
