Whether its for a lazy Sunday or a busy Monday, sometimes all you need is a good sweatshirt and jeans.

Destroyed denim and a well worn tee are the unofficial uniform of minimalists, so I figured switching the tee with my oversized sweatshirt and these jeans would achieve the same effect.

This look is the latest street style staple and ‘it’ fashionista favourite. They have transformed the cotton-blend jersey sweatshirt from activewear to streetwear and this trend is one that I fully intend to embrace.

If the last few posts are anything to go by, you’ll know I don’t do majorly dressy. The combination of a simple with something striking is usually how I do it. So this jumper, for me, is possibly my perfect match.

I’m militant about comfort when it comes to these dress-down looks. I will put up with not-wildly-comfortable clothes only if they are transformatively glamorous, which this isn’t.

So the first and only requirement for your sweatshirt is go oversized.

If you don’t your midsection will look bulky. Also, stay away from a tight band at the bottom and go for a loose hem that it is a light enough fabric to tuck inside your jeans without feeling like you’ve put your clothes on the wrong way round.

This is a sweatshirt and jeans, after all: it needs to feel relaxed.

Sweatshirts are sporty but no running shoes please.

Ankle booties are the perfect medium between casual and dressy, making them a natural pairing to your sporty-glam sweatshirt! If you are looking for comfort, flatforms like these ones add the perfect dash of edginess

Finish off your outfit with a statement bag that does not match your shoes! Pick something big and tailored in a complimentary color to your outfit. A great tote works, so does an oversize clutch.

Add a dash of lipstick, Some cool sunglasses, and you’re ready to go!

The new sweatshirt is the perfect mix of comfort and glam, a trend that looks great at any age. Step up your style with these tips and try the trend.
