If cosycore hasn’t made you wrap yourself in clothing that’s warm and snuggly, the weather soon will. With athleisure reigning strong, it’s that time of the year, when one must turn to sweatshirts for comfort . Cosy, effortless and a modern classic—is the perfect winter must-have and a hug-like staple one needs. Besides if Princess Diana could pull one off with a Sloane Ranger’s flair, what’s stopping you? While classic round-neck shapes and baggy versions have a long-lasting appeal, there’s also a lot to be said for cool-girl updates that marry the cosy staple with interesting details. Think puffy sleeves, cool slogans and embroidery. When it comes to the colours, black, grey and ivory are classic choices, but a peppy bright can help to blow away any impending winter blues.
Tie-dye is one of the strongest trends to have emerged during the lockdown. If you still haven’t dipped your toe in it, consider getting your hands on Kanika Goyal’s monochrome version. You can wear it with their matching shorts or a pair of ivory sweatpants. Wish to inject a bolt of colour to your winter closet? There’s no missing Justin Beiber’s label, Drew House’s red hoodie showcasing an oversized yellow smiley emoticon. Make Mango’s beige sweatshirt your first port of call for timeless styles in a neutral colour palette. For added interest, Karl Lagerfeld’s black version comes with iridescent lurex sleeves that makes it ideal for the upcoming festive season. Meanwhile a quirky number–see Polo Ralph Lauren’s crew neck sweatshirt—will see you through a day as well as an evening event. Scroll down to check out our edit now.
