Wardrobe Staple no 20 of 33: The Sweatshirt

Sweatshirts are a security blanket for me. I wear them everyday when the temps drop below 60 degrees, and I own WAY too many of them. Therefore, I have become something of a sweatshirt connoisseur. These days I don’t ever go for a cheap blank, aka any printed tee on a cheap sweatshirt. With my pickiness, I only like a heavier weight cotton blend with a nice designer shape. Call me an elitist, I am ok with that. I wear my sweatshirts with EVERYTHING. They bring cool to a fussy look and bring youth to an outfit that can otherwise feel stuffy, aka the suit. I love sweatshirts in all forms and factors. Hoodies, crew necks, zip fronts, cropped, etc. Wear your sweatshirt with a matching sweat pant and fabulous jewelry for rich bitch comfort. Or match it up with your favorite carpenter pant to give American work wear realness. Layer on top of a girly dress to add streetwear tomboy vibes. Put a hoodie on under your blazer for a dose of youth to a grown up suit. Sweatshirts help create the ultimate high/low look.

I love a vintage Made in USA sweatshirt from Ebay. I own several from Harvard and Harley Davidson. Mate The Label is my go to for sexy, feminine and sustainable sweats.
