If you have to leave the house but don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed, there are a few ways to hop on the sweatsuit trend and still look stylish. Whether you are grocery shopping or on a walk, being comfy yet cute has been made easier with Instagram inspired looks. Making an effort to look your best isn’t really a priority under lockdown. But, you shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of picking a stylish outfit just to go to one store. It’s more convenient to dress up what you feel comfortable in—even if you’ve reserved it in the ‘quarantine’ clothing group.
Wear black shades
Hailey Beiber is a fashion icon when it comes to quarantine streetwear. She uses black sunglasses to complement her more everyday looks. It adds an extra edgy vibe to any dressed up or down an outfit. As a bonus, you won’t have to wear a lot of eye makeup to look and feel chic.
Wear a long puffer coat
As it’s especially nice to have in the winter months, wearing a puffer coat on top of your sweatsuit gives off a modern vibe. Many Aritzia models are promoting this layered look. If you don’t already have one of these elongated coats, a cheaper alternative is Dynamite, an Aritzia dupe. Investing in a long winter coat is more than worth it; not only will it keep you warm all winter long, but ensures that even your winter wear is fashionable.
Layer with a blazer
A blazer layered on top of a matching sweatsuit set is trending right now. The hood popping out at the back of the blazer is aesthetically pleasing. It can tie a whole outfit together and will automatically dress it up. The look is comfy yet classy at the same time—you can’t beat it with any other outfit. You can add to the vibe by wearing a swatch of mascara to tie it into your current look.
Wear gold earrings that hug your ear lobe
This subtle addition to your outfit is perfect for everyday wear, and even sweats. These earrings are currently in style as various influencers are currently wearing them. You can also accent with gold jewelry to match your earrings to complete and dress up the outfit.
A tip: put your hair in a slicked-back bun or ponytail to expose your earrings. Take pride in showing them off as a staple piece in your outfit. A slick back hairline always gives off a classy look. To get those little baby hairs out of the way, you can use a clear eyebrow gel brush. Simply move them to where you prefer them to be with a couple of strokes. Spray some hairspray on the flyaways, and you’re good to go.
Wear a little purse around your shoulder
This trend is another staple in current wardrobes, for extra girly flair to your matching set. Better yet, you can pick a bold or patterned bag. This will add a splash of colour or contrast to your outfit. For example, if you’re wearing a dark brown set, you can wear a white purse to boldly stand out. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a black bag. It matches literally everything and adds a professional touch.
Having a matching sweatsuit set and a matching set of accessories brings your outfit to the next level. It makes you feel put together even if you don’t take as long to get ready like you used to. So accessorize away!
These sweatsuit outfit trends are a casual way to dress up your style, and definitely encourages some showing off, especially on Instagram.
