How To Style Hoodie

Let’s talk about one of my favourite smart-casual layering tricks that feels effortless but looks oh-so-styled...

The humble hoodie under a blazer or coat.

It’s a little bit cool, a little bit unexpected, and totally wearable when you know how to play with colour.

Here’s where it gets fun.

Take a look at the blazers and coats you already own, pull them out, line them up, and check the colours.
 

In winter, we often feel at our palest.

The light is softer, the days are duller, and the sun isn't bouncing off everything the way it does in summer, so it’s no wonder we can feel like we've lost a bit of our sparkle too.

That’s why you might find yourself instinctively reaching for brighter colours or interesting prints.

You're craving something to lift your complexion and your mood, and the right colours can do both instantly.

Beyond just colour, what prints do you already have in your wardrobe that you can mix and match in new ways?

Stripes with florals? Checks with animal print? Spots with something bold and abstract? Logo front hoodies

There’s so much fun to be had when you start combining your prints with intention, and your colour theory is the key to pulling it all together.

Here’s your challenge (if you're up for it!).

Go to your wardrobe, pick three coats or blazers you already own, and pair each one with a hoodie in a colour that complements each one.

Then try them on. You might be surprised how many new outfit combos you can create with what you already own.

It’s all about building from colour theory, and when you do that, layering becomes second nature.
