5 Ways of How to Style a Sweatshirt in Unique Ways

The secret of how to style a sweatshirt is to stop thinking of it as a sweatshirt per se. Many of these pieces can actually look like a sweater or a nice top. Just because we know they are sweatshirt material doesn’t mean we can’t dress them up and wear them in many ways.

How to style a sweatshirt with accessories

1-Adding Accessories

It’s no secret that I love my accessories, and I think this is one way how to style a sweatshirt and take it up a notch. Doing this distracts you from the fact that it’s boxy and normally a casual piece.

For the above outfit, I not only added a scarf, but 2 longer necklaces to the mix. Layering and lots of texture are the keys to this one.

2-Layering a Hoodie UNDER It

I usually don’t love a crew neck top by itself so how about layering under it? Wearing a hoodie is my new favorite layering technique. It adds a little to the neckline, but it doesn’t need ironing like most of my collared shirts.

This leopard hoodie was purchased from Belong Lifestyle USA which is an online store run by a friend of mine.

3-Layer a Men’s Shirt Under It

While I talked about a collared shirt layered under a sweater, I wanted to try it differently with this idea of how to style a sweatshirt. Having a longer tunic shirt (or in this case my hubby’s shirt) creates visual interest at the top and bottom of the sweatshirt. And then enables me to wear it with leggings and still feel covered.

4-Layering Over the Sweatshirt

Most of the time I think of a sweatshirt as the top layer. So it’s unique to try layering something else over top of it. This overall dress worked perfectly for this example.

If you have a sleeveless or tank dress, I think you could try this idea too. It’s almost like when we layered a dress over our white button down shirt.
